It is found that ultrasound combined with heat (thermoultrasound [TS]) exhibits a synergistic inactivation efficiency, and the combinations of US, T, and TS with PS also improve inactivation efficacy through reductions of 0.32 ± 0.02 log, 0.73 ± 0.04 log, and 4.50 ± 0.04 log in <em>P. membranifaciens</em> achieved using US + PS, T + PS, and TS + PS, respectively. Further, use of the TS + PS treatment leads to cytoplasmic leakage and a decrease in dehydrogenase activity, as well as a significant increase in cell membrane permeability, causing membrane depolarization and the inward flow of extracellular calcium ions. In addition, the cell membrane composition is detected by infrared spectroscopy, demonstrating that TS + PS treatment results in a decrease in lipid and protein content and an increase in phospholipid content in the cell membrane. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy reveals a deformed cell structure and damage to cell membrane integrity after TS + PS treatment. In addition, the expression of heat shock protein (Hsp82 and Hsp70) genes is shown to decrease after TS and TS + PS treatment compared to the T and T + PS treatment groups, indicating cellular homeostasis has been broken and cells are responding to the damage by activating the protective gene expression program.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100545,"journal":{"name":"Food Physics","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100012"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950069924000069/pdfft?md5=a237e2455d27e071476911b3df34eefe&pid=1-s2.0-S2950069924000069-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140906024","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}

This article explores the fundamental physical mechanisms involved in cold plasma technology to modify starch molecules. Cold plasma treatment generates reactive species and electromagnetic fields that induce controlled physical and chemical changes in starch, including cross-linking and chemical functionalization. These modifications influence fundamental properties of starch, such as gelatinization temperature, viscosity, and structural integrity. Moreover, the nonthermal nature of cold plasma preserves the integrity of heat-sensitive compounds in starch, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the food and material industries. By optimizing process parameters, such as gas composition and treatment duration, cold plasma technology enables precise and tailored modifications of starch to meet specific functional requirements. So, a comprehensive understanding of the physical mechanism behind cold plasma technology for starch modification opens up new avenues for innovation in the food industry.

The study systematically compares the drying efficiencies of the different methods and their effects on physico-chemical properties, pet food applications, energy consumption, and costs. The results show that CIRD and EOD resulted in a better color of the final product, while the EIRD treatment resulted in the highest degree of denaturation of the chicken breast jerky proteins. In terms of chemical properties, the higher malondialdehyde content of CIRD and EIRD (2.77±0.18 mg/kg, 2.63±0.07 mg/kg) indicated higher fat oxidation in IR-treated chicken meat, which is also associated with an increase in the content of free fatty acids. This paper also found that arachidonic, linolenic, and oleic acids are positively correlated with the content of important flavor compounds in the jerky. For pet food applications, it was found that pets prefer CIRD and EIRD products, and energy and cost measurements also indicate that CIRD (4258.74 kJ/kg, 0.94 yuan/kg) is more energy and cost-efficient than other drying methods.

The creep properties of the kiwifruit were fitted with three creep models to find the most suitable model, which was selected to produce the key creep parameters. Then, the relationship between the selected creep model and the representative quality indices of the kiwifruit was further investigated and used to produce the quality prediction models for the fruit.
