Currently, the emulsion delivery of algal oil provides a promising approach to minimize oxidative deterioration and conceal its off-flavor.

The current paper offers a mechanism overview behind off-flavor formation in algal oil emulsions and explores corresponding strategies for the inhibition regulation. Additionally, the paper delves into the factors influencing lipid oxidation and the perception of off-flavors in such emulsions. To mitigate the development of off-flavors in algal oil emulsions resulting from oxidation, it is crucial to decline the likelihood of lipid oxidation and proactively prevent the creation of off-flavors whenever possible. Minimizing the release of volatile off-flavor compounds that are inevitably generated is also considered effective for weakening off-flavor.

This is despite evidence showing that nitrate consumption from vegetable sources, exceeding the ADI, is associated with decreased cancer prevalence and improvements in cardiovascular, oral, metabolic and neurocognitive health. This review examines the paradox between dietary nitrate and health and disease and highlights the key role of the dietary source and food matrix in moderating this interaction. We present mechanistic and epidemiological evidence to support the notion that consuming vegetable-derived nitrate promotes a beneficial increase in nitric oxide generation and limits toxic N-nitroso compound formation seen with high intakes of nitrate added during food processing or present in contaminated water. We demonstrate the need for a more pragmatic approach to nitrate-related nutritional research and guidelines.

The current trend toward fresh and less processed foods and the misuse of antibiotics in food production have made controlling these pathogens even more challenging. The outer membrane has been employed as a practical target to combat foodborne Gram-negative pathogens due to its accessibility and importance. In this review, the compositions of the outer membrane are extensively described firstly, to offer a thorough overview of this target. Current strategies for disrupting the outer membrane are also discussed, with emphasized on their mechanism of action. The disruption of the outer membrane structure, whether caused by severe damage of the lipid bilayer or by interference with the biosynthesis pathway, has been demonstrated to represent an effective antimicrobial strategy. Interference with the outer membrane-mediated functions of barrier, efflux and adhesion also contributes to the fight against Gram-negative pathogens. Their potential for control of foodborne pathogens in the production chain are also proposed. However, it is possible that multiple components in the food matrix may act as a protective barrier against microorganisms, and it is often the case that contamination is not caused by a single microorganism. Further investigation is needed to determine the effectiveness and safety of these methods in more complex systems, and it may be advisable to consider a multi-technology combined approach.
