In response, this study investigates the mechanisms of phenolic biosynthesis in fresh-cut red cabbages under ultrasound stress from the perspective of energy metabolism. The effects of exogenous adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) on the phenolic biosynthesis and antioxidant enzymes of fresh-cut red cabbages were also studied. The results show that ultrasound treatment induces the activities of adenosine triphosphatases (ATPase), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), and cytochrome oxidase (CCO), thus maintaining the high-energy status of fresh-cut red cabbages during storage, primarily characterized by an increase in ATP content and energy charge (EC). The high-energy status is beneficial for providing energy to the biosynthesis of phenolic compounds. In addition, the phenolic content, as well as the activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H), 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), was increased in the fresh-cut red cabbages after ATP treatment, whereas DNP treatment showed the opposite effect. The results indicate that energy plays an essential role in regulating the antioxidant systems of fresh-cut red cabbages. The energy enhancement induced by ultrasound treatment is a key reason to promote the biosynthesis of non-enzymatic antioxidant–phenolic compounds and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activities. Therefore, the increase in energy levels induced by ultrasonic washing is closely related to the accumulation of phenolic compounds. Positive energy regulation could be a potential mechanism to improve the nutritive value of fruits and vegetables subjected to ultrasonic washing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100545,"journal":{"name":"Food Physics","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100049"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143155992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the study examined the microwave-induced aggregation behavior of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) in diverse monovalent salt solvents by employing an established heating protocol. Results indicate that both the volume and type of solvent influence the microwave heating rate considerably. Specifically, volumes of 2 and 3 mL exhibited significantly higher rates than those of 1 and 4 mL under the test conditions, and these alterations were relatively consistent with the observed distributions of the electric field and power dissipation density. Simulations and measurements disclosed notable temperature gradients within the heating system, which were also affected by the solvent volume and type. Abnormal convection led to increased temperatures in the upper solution layers, and this abnormal convection-induced higher temperature could affect the experimental outcomes in scientific research. Using the aggregation behavior of MPs as an example, we also demonstrated the crucial importance of selecting appropriate heating volumes in single-mode microwave systems.

Recent advancements in IR heating have highlighted its advantages over conventional methods, including short processing time, uniform heating and product temperature, superior quality of products, low energy consumption, high heat transfer rate, high energy efficiency, ease of control, compact equipment and eco-friendliness over the conventional heating systems. Considering these merits, IR has found several applications in food processing with increased interest and research in the last decade. Thus, this review discusses recent studies and technological advancements in IR heating, addressing the benefits, limitations, and challenges of its implementation across different food processing applications. In addition, it explores the synergistic utilization of IR radiation when combined with other novel technologies by assessing their combined impact on process efficiency, energy savings, and food quality. The findings of this study showed that in blanching, IR heating has shown potential to reduce nutrient loss and preserve sensory quality, enhancing the retention of vitamins and minerals. For microbial decontamination, it provides a non-chemical approach to pathogen reduction, minimizing foodborne risks while preserving product quality. In peeling applications, IR heating can achieve efficient removal of skin with minimal waste and damage to the edible portion, making it an eco-friendly option. When used for roasting, it contributes to the development of desirable colour, flavor, and texture attributes. Finally, in thawing applications, IR technology provides faster and more uniform heating, reducing drip loss and improving product quality. From the foregoing, it was established that the adoption of IR heating technology in food processing represents a significant advancement in enhancing product quality and process efficiency across the various applications. Moreover, combining IR heating with other novel food processing technologies further improved process efficiency, enhanced energy savings, and preserved or even boosted food quality.
