This study presents a bibliometric analysis and technological prospection of the kombucha beverage from 1996 to 2022, with indexed data performed in the Web of Science and the Lens databases for the bibliometric analysis, and VOSviewer was used to analyze the data and provide the bibliometric networks. To date, the United States, China, India, Brazil, and Serbia have contributed to most of the results on kombucha. Jayabalan and Malbasa, affiliated with the University of Bharathiar (India) and University of Novi Sad (Serbia), provide the most productive research. Research on kombucha is focused on the biological activities, health benefits, fermentative process, composition, and microbiology. The United States and China have the most number of patents, with the main depositors being private companies such as reGenics, Shi Weiyao, and EPC Natural Products Co Ltd. This analysis makes it possible to understand the trends and gaps in kombucha research, providing researchers with future perspectives aimed at deepening the knowledge about kombucha.","PeriodicalId":12404,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology","volume":"44 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141347457","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}

This study was conducted with two treatments: a control treatment and feeding cattle whole cottonseed at a concentration of 15.9%. The animals were slaughtered for determination of sensory and volatile compounds in the beef. There was a difference in aroma, with better grades attributed to beef not fed cottonseed. The use of cottonseed promoted the occurrence of a strange taste in beef. There was a difference in the profile of volatile compounds between the groups. In general, feeding cattle cottonseed did not modify the qualitative sensorial aspects of beef; however, there was a greater chance of the development of some strange flavors of high intensity. The volatile compound profile of beef from cattle fed cottonseed was different than that of beef from control group.","PeriodicalId":12404,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology","volume":"34 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141346265","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 principal mode of control is the application of synthetic insecticides, which can be prejudicial on the environment and human health. Alternatively, these pests can be controlled using plant extracts with insecticidal and repellent properties. This article highlights the effects of three plant extracts obtained from locally cultivated crops in Guyana. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was performed to identify the chemical compounds present in each extract with high insecticidal activity against aphids and mealy bugs revealing the presence of 8, 15, and 7 chemical compounds with “eucalyptol” common to all extracts. Laboratory bioassays were conducted under environmental conditions to determine the efficacy of methanol extracts obtained from Zingiber officinale rhizome, Mentha viridis, and Jatropha curcas leaves in controlling M. persicae Sulzer and P. manihoti using the leaf dip method. Results obtained indicated that the three plant extracts were significantly (p < 0.05) toxic to M. persicae Sulzer and P. manihoti after 48 h exposure.","PeriodicalId":12404,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology","volume":"89 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141347906","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}

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites that are potentially carcinogenic, hepatotoxic, and nephrotoxic to humans and animals. In addition, they are mostly thermostable, i.e., they resist the processing and refining of grains. Wickerhamomyces anomalus is a yeast found widely in nature and was the first reported yeast capable of producing mycocins that act on both eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms. Mycocins are glycoproteins that act on sensitive cells of other microorganisms without direct cell-to-cell contact. This study aimed to identify the filamentous fungi present in cornmeal and verify their inhibition against the mycocins of W. anomalus WA92, all the cornmeal samples analyzed (eight) presented colony-forming units (CFU) of filamentous fungi including some known as potential mycotoxin producers, and 10 fungal genera were identified—Acremonium sp., Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp., Chrysosporium sp., Cladosporium sp., Fusarium sp., Mucor sp., Penicillium sp., Rhizopus sp., and Scopulariopsis sp. Tests were carried out on a solid medium containing the supernatant of mycocins from W. anomalus and showed total inhibition of the growth of these fungi.

The soybean beverage fermentation was carried out using a commercial culture of starter microorganisms and probiotics. Three modified cassava starches were added to the samples: octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA), acetylated distarch adipate (ADA), cross-linked-substituted starch (mixed), and a native starch at 1% concentration. They were stored for 3 weeks at 4ºC. The analyses showed a decrease in pH and an increase in acidity due to post-fermentation processes. The syneresis showed significant differences concerning the sample with native starch, but not among the other treatments with modified starches. The microbiological quality was below the regulatory acceptance limit, and the CFU/mL of probiotics was higher than 106. The treatment with OSA and mixed starch had the highest general acceptance in the sensory test.","PeriodicalId":12404,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology","volume":"28 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141345864","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}

High-performance liquid chromatography analysis was conducted, and the data set was subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) for evaluation. Theobromine and caffeine were found in all leaves and pericarps samples, where higher contents were quantified for theobromine. Caffeine was the major compound in seeds, followed by epicatechin and catechin. No statistical difference was observed for the average contents of caffeine in samples from different producing cities. PCA showed no clear guarana sample discrimination based on bioactive compound contents. This study holds substantial relevance for the valorization of guarana cultivation in Bahia, enabling the identification of cultivars harboring elevated levels of bioactive compounds, which can be selectively cloned to meet the demands of the consumer market.
