Coffee showed a decrease in pH and an increase in titratable acidity during fermentation.

The caffeine content in CK-coffee increased 1.33-fold after 12 h of fermentation and remained relatively stable in K-coffee up to 24 h of fermentation compared to the coffee control. The antioxidant activity and inhibitory effect against α-glucosidase of fermented coffee increased to 2.24- and 2.40-fold after 24 h of fermentation, respectively, compared to the coffee control. Sensory evaluation highlighted noticeable differences in flavour among unfermented coffee, K-coffee, and CK-coffee with changes in volatile aroma compounds.

Therefore, the potential of using <em>Lepidium perfoliatum</em> seed gum (LPSG) as a novel source for creating electrospun nanofibers for D-limonene encapsulation was investigated by varying LPSG concentrations (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% w/v) and LPSG/PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) mixing ratios (ranging from 100:0 to 0:100 v/v). Surface tension, electrical conductivity, zeta potential, and viscosity of solutions increased as LPSG concentration and its ratio in the LPSG/PVA blend increased. Uniform, smooth, and small size nanofibers were created by electrospinning a LPSG to PVA ratio of 30:70 (v/v) using LPSG concentrations of 0.5% (w/v) and 0.75% (w/v). The FTIR analysis demonstrated that D-limonene was physically trapped within the nanofibers and confirmed the compatibility of LPSG and PVA. Following its encapsulation inside LPSG/PVA nanofibers, D-limonene's thermal stability increased. The highest D-limonene encapsulation efficiency was 96.23% for 0.75% LPSG/PVA nanofibers, which was chosen to measure the D-limonene release kinetics in simulated food models. D-limonene was most readily released in distilled water with an explosive release mechanism. The mechanism of D-limonene release from LPSG/PVA electrospun nanofibers was best described by the Peppas-Sahlin model, and the release followed Fickian diffusion mechanism.

In the present study, a quantitative consumer survey was performed among 509 French consumers to understand their behavior when purchasing, storing, and eating strawberries. The results of the survey were used to create several purchasing groups, with different purchase intentions and consumption behaviors, and were combined with a state-of-the-art deterioration model to evaluate food waste. Seven scenarios were tested by varying the initial deterioration of strawberries at the supermarket. A first and most expected result of the model was the significant impact of storage management habits (temperature and duration) on the resulting food waste: all the trays that went from 0 to 1% deterioration at the supermarket to more than 95% at consumption were kept in ambient conditions. Moreover, the predicted food waste was between 9.4 and 57.5% depending on the initial deterioration at the supermarket, highlighting the impact of the upstream supply chain before retailers on food waste at the consumer level. Finally, the results showed a non-linear relationship between deterioration and consumption, and thus, food waste.

In mice, high-fat diet (HFD) consumption for 9 weeks resulted in hyperglycemia and impaired glucose tolerance (GT) while concomitant consumption of PN39 and HFD (PN39+HFD) prevented GT impairment. Meanwhile, feeding the mice with HFD for 5 weeks to induce PD and later administering them with PN39 for 4 weeks (PD + PN39) neither improved fasting blood glucose nor GT. Relative to control groups, the gut microbiota of both PD mice and humans were characterized by decreased <em>Clostridia UCG-014</em> and Lactobacilli as well as significantly altered gut microbial carbohydrate metabolism. Feeding PN39 together with HFD preserved <em>Clostridia UCG-014</em> and Lactobacilli, increased short chain fatty acid production relative to mice fed with HFD only. Treating gut microbiota of PD subjects with PN39 however increased <em>Clostridia UCG-014</em> and Lactobacilli populations and increased short chain fatty acids concentrations in the stools. In both mice and humans, PN39 treatment rectified the altered microbial carbohydrate metabolism observed in their PD counterparts. This suggests that the gut microbial modulatory effects of PN39 coupled with its capacity to regulate gut microbial glucose metabolism, likely played a role in preventing PD in mice receiving PN39+HFD.

{"title":"Exploring the effect of natural deep eutectic solvents on zein: Structural and functional properties","authors":"Adieh Anvar ,&nbsp;Mohammad Hossein Azizi ,&nbsp;Hassan Ahmadi Gavlighi","doi":"10.1016/j.crfs.2024.100965","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.crfs.2024.100965","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>This study evaluated the effects of chemical modification, including ethanol, acetic acid, and natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES), on the secondary and tertiary structures, hydrophobicity, free amine content, protein-protein interactions, and functional properties of zein. The NADES used included choline chloride: oxalic acid, choline chloride: urea, choline chloride: glycerol, and glucose: citric acid. The results reveal that the NADES system significantly altered zein's structures, as evidenced by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence, and Ultraviolet–Visible Spectroscopy analysis. Circular dichroism spectroscopy analysis indicated significant conformational change in modified zein, with decreased α-helix and increased random coil content. Notably, the NADES system leads to greater disruption of hydrogen bonds and facilitates the exposure of hydrophobic regions compared to water, ethanol, and acetic acid systems. This resulted in enhanced solubility, surface hydrophobicity, and free amine content in zein, indicating a more significant change in protein structure. In contrast, water and acetic acid solvents maintained more stable disulfide bonds within zein, which correlates with lower solubility and less unfolding. The NADES system promoted interactions between zein and its solvent components, improving emulsifying properties. Water, ethanol, and acetic acid systems had higher solubility in urea, thiourea, and dithiothreitol than the NADES system, revealing disruption of both covalent and noncovalent bonds in zein modified by NADES. Overall, this study highlights the superior ability of the NADES system to modify zein's structure and functionality compared to conventional solvents, suggesting its potential for enhancing protein applications in the industrial production of foods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10939,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Food Science","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100965"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11748687/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143001815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
