Four green gelatin extraction processes were compared for their gelatin extraction efficiency. Among the four processes, process 1 and process 2 comprised of two-step extraction viz pre-treatment with NaCl and extraction with hot water. Process 3 and process 4 comprised of single-step wherein pre-treatment and extraction were done simultaneously with acidic water using acetic acid. The gelatin extraction efficiency was determined based on the yield and L-hydroxyproline content of the extracted gelatin. Further, the extracted gelatin was characterized for their proximate and amino acid composition. The acetic acid based single-step method was found to be more efficient in the extraction of gelatin than the NaCl pretreatment method. The gelatin extracted with this method had a higher yield (4.2%), protein content (79.6%), and imino acid (27.3%) content than the NaCl pretreatment method, which had 1.51% gelatin yield, 48.1% protein content, and 13.1% imino acid content. The results suggested that the single-step extraction method can be effectively utilized for the extraction of gelatin from pink perch skin and bones combined biomass. This study provides a method for the valorization of the surimi industry by-product into a high value product with potential application in various industries.","PeriodicalId":10916,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Nutrition and Food Science Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85943431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, Indonesia has been compelled to import significant quantities of soybeans, reaching 1.68 million tons in 2020, which escalated by 47.78% to 2.49 million tons in 2021. This study aims to scientifically investigate the impact of velvet bean seed germination on the physicochemical characteristics and bioactive components of velvet bean tempe. The research methodology involved quantitative analysis to obtain reliable results. The preliminary analysis established that the optimal velvet bean tempe fermentation time was 48 hours. Following germination, the physical properties of velvet bean sprouts exhibited an increase in weight accompanied by a reduction in bulk density and absolute density. Furthermore, the germination treatment resulted in decreased brightness, saturation, whiteness, and pH values, while simultaneously increasing the hardness of the tempe. Chemical analysis demonstrated that germination of velvet bean seeds led to an elevation in moisture content and a decrease in carbohydrate content within the produced tempe. Additionally, bioactive component analysis revealed that the germination treatment contributed to a reduction in total phenol content from 52.46 to 36.30 mg AAE/100g, antioxidant capacity from 132.80 to 66.90 mg GAE/100g, and GABA content from 54.20 to 21.50 mg/100g in the tempe. These findings provide valuable scientific insights into alternative ingredient utilisation and production processes optimisation of velvet bean tempe.","PeriodicalId":10916,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Nutrition and Food Science Journal","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78301680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Groundnuts are among the most widely studied substrates of Aspergillus spp., growth and AF contamination. Aflatoxin contamination is a significant public health concern since chronic exposure is linked to causing carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, hepatotoxicity, estrogenicity, neurotoxicity, childhood growth impairment, and immunotoxicity in humans and animals. Acute exposure to AF contamination is associated with fatal aflatoxicosis due to nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and convulsions. Good agricultural practices, control of plant diseases, and favourable storage conditions can limit AF contamination yet do not guarantee complete elimination. Looking for an effective technique to reduce AF to an acceptable regulatory limit has been a great subject among researchers. Physical methods like manual visual sorting, screening, density, roasting, dehulling, winnowing, and decortication can reduce AF contamination while maintaining the quality of the kernel and render the kernels harmless to humans and animals compared to AF degradation by chemicals. Therefore, the present review article found that physical removal/visual sorting efficiently lowered the mean AF content commonly used in low-income countries. We briefly enumerated the effectiveness of various common physical methods in reducing post-harvest AF contamination in groundnuts, particularly their percentage AF reduction and outsort/loss, sufficient AF reduction evidence, feasibility, and scalability. We also highlighted the merits and demerits of these methods and essential information that could be helpful for further investigation.","PeriodicalId":10916,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Nutrition and Food Science Journal","volume":"299 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90802867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective was to evaluate the macronutrient adequacy of local infant flours sold in Ouagadougou for the needs of children aged 6-23 months. Nutritional parameters were determined using reference methods. The modeling was performed using Excel 2016 software. Fats content ranged from 6.16g to 16.76g, proteins from 6.18g to 22.08g, carbohydrates from 63.4g to 70.96g, and energy values from 406.02 kcal/100g to 458.92 kcal/100g. The modeling showed that the contributions of the different nutrients to the overall energy value of 70% of the local infant flours were by the recommendations. The energy contributions of fats and proteins were mainly high. Respectively 75% and 95% of local infant flours evaluated meet the recommendations, while all the infant flours evaluated showed carbohydrate energy contributions within the recommendations.

This research aims to study the effect of coffee by-product type (pulp and husk) and sugar concentration (10, 15, and 20%) on cascara kombucha's chemical and sensory quality. The parameters analyzed were pH value, total phenolic content (TPC), total tannin, antioxidant activity, and sensory (hedonic and descriptive). The results showed that the type of coffee by-products and sugar concentration affected the quality of cascara kombucha. The pH values obtained ranged from 2.81-2.98, TPC 63.69 mg GAE/L-80.60 mg GAE/L, tannin 0.46%-0.89%, antioxidant activity 0.46%-0.89%, and total alcohol 0.19%-0.46%. The pH and tannin values of cascara kombucha tended to decrease and TPC increased with increasing concentration of sugar added using both pulp and husk. Antioxidant activity was higher in cascara kombucha using husk and increased with increasing sugar concentration. The higher alcohol content was obtained in cascara kombucha using pulp at higher sugar concentrations. The level of liking for cascara kombucha's color, aroma, and taste varied from dislike to like, with a description of color from weak to strong brown color. The description of cascara kombucha's aroma and sour taste was consistent, tending to be stronger at higher sugar additions using both pulp and husk. The sweet taste of cascara kombucha is obtained stronger in cascara kombucha using husk with higher sugar concentrations. Overall, the use of husk with higher sugar concentration resulted in a better quality cascara kombucha.
