Abstract
Cucumbers produce by-products such as cucumber pomace during processing and most of them are discarded without being utilized. To effectively utilize the waste, cucumber pomace is used to extract both insoluble and soluble dietary fibers (DFs) using compound enzyme method (ME), High pressure processing assisted ME (HPP-ME), and dynamic high-pressure microfluidization-assisted ME (DHPM-ME). The results showed that DHPM-ME improved the extraction rate of soluble DFs most effectively, increasing it from 1.74 % to 4.08 %. The modified DFs exhibited enhanced hydration properties and functional properties after HPP-ME- and DHPM-ME-mediated auxiliary treatment. Additionally, the modified DFs exhibited improved thermal stability, increased absorption peaks in the infrared spectra, decreased crystallinity, improved glucose and cholesterol adsorption ability, and delayed glucose adsorption. The cucumber pomace-derived modified DFs can be used as a functional food additive in bakery, meat, dairy products, and beverages, and their effective use can further enhance the economic benefits.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
