Abstract
This study explores the optimization of dehydrated soup formulations to enhance their total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) using a D-optimal mixture design and the NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II). To study the effect of the selected ingredients, A D-optimal mixture design with 15 experimental runs was employed to study the effect of selected ingredients, highlighting their significance on TPC and TFC. The NSGA-II algorithm generated 19 optimal solutions for maximizing TPC and TFC. Experimental validation of the best solution predicted TPC of 8.15 mg GAE/g dw and TFC of 1.30 mg QE/g dw, with experimental values of 10.29 mg GAE/g dw and 1.38 mg QE/g dw, confirming the model's accuracy. The optimized soup, comprised 47.70 % broccoli, 20 % celery, 20 % onion, 10 % vegetable mix, and 2.29 % salt. It exhibited significantly higher TPC and better antioxidant activity, as measured by DPPH• and ABTS•+ assays. Molecular docking identified bioactive compounds with strong binding affinities to KEAP1 and BCL2 proteins, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for oxidative stress. A MATLAB interface was developed to facilitate practical application in the food industry, demonstrating the effective use of optimization techniques to create high-quality, enriched dehydrated soups and providing a foundation for future research in food formulation.
期刊介绍:
Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems publishes original research papers, short communications, reviews, tutorials and Original Software Publications reporting on development of novel statistical, mathematical, or computer techniques in Chemistry and related disciplines.
Chemometrics is the chemical discipline that uses mathematical and statistical methods to design or select optimal procedures and experiments, and to provide maximum chemical information by analysing chemical data.
The journal deals with the following topics:
1) Development of new statistical, mathematical and chemometrical methods for Chemistry and related fields (Environmental Chemistry, Biochemistry, Toxicology, System Biology, -Omics, etc.)
2) Novel applications of chemometrics to all branches of Chemistry and related fields (typical domains of interest are: process data analysis, experimental design, data mining, signal processing, supervised modelling, decision making, robust statistics, mixture analysis, multivariate calibration etc.) Routine applications of established chemometrical techniques will not be considered.
3) Development of new software that provides novel tools or truly advances the use of chemometrical methods.
4) Well characterized data sets to test performance for the new methods and software.
The journal complies with International Committee of Medical Journal Editors'' Uniform requirements for manuscripts.
