Pennywort residue is a by-product of pennywort juice production. In the present work, this by-product was proved to be a good dietary fibre ingredient in the making of high fibre pasta. Nevertheless, the addition of 10% pennywort residue reduced cooking properties, textural profiles, and overall acceptability of the pasta samples. The effects of transglutaminase treatment of pasta dough on the product quality were then investigated. Increase in transglutaminase dosage from 0.00 to 0.75 U/g protein of the flour blend decreased the cooking loss of pasta by 19% while improving its tensile strength and elongation rate by 15 and 49%, respectively. Further increase in enzyme dosage from 0.75 to 1.00 U/g protein, on the other hand, decreased the tensile strength and elongation rate. When the enzyme treatment lasted for 30 min, the cooking loss was reduced by 10%, while the tensile strength and elongation rate of high fibre pasta were both enhanced by 10%. However, increase in treatment time from 30 to 40 min did not cause any significant differences in textural and cooking properties of the fibre-rich pasta. The appropriate transglutaminase dosage and biocatalytic time were 0.75 U/g protein and 30 min, respectively, under which the overall acceptability of the sample incorporated with 10% pennywort residue powder was similar to that of the semolina pasta.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":"15 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138954970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sodium lactate usage was conducive to hygiene levels improvement. Lactobacillus spp. and Weissella spp. sharply displaced the Ralstoni spp. with high potential spoilage, and became the predominant bacteria. Moreover, the proliferation of Serratia spp. was completely controlled by sodium lactate treatment. Sodium lactate usage exhibited a better pH stability and outstanding colour stability together with antibacterial efficacy.

These carbohydrates are considered prebiotics which stimulate beneficial effects to human health. In the present work, Saphera, a commercial preparation of β-galactosidase from Bifidobacterium bifidum, was biochemically characterised for production of GOS. Using o-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (oNPG) as the substrate, optimal activity for the enzyme was found to be at pH 6.0 and at 45°C. Ten (10) mM each of either Na+ or K+ enhanced enzyme activity by 10%, while Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, and EDTA showed inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity. When incubated in 50 mM sodium phosphate and pH 6.5, the enzyme was found to have half-life time of 136 ± 6 and 2.1 ± 0.2 h at 30 and 50°C, respectively. The hydrolysis activity of the enzyme predominated when the initial lactose concentration used was 5% (w/v). When initial lactose concentration was increased to 20% (w/v), maximum GOS yield obtained was 10% (w/w) achieved at 86% lactose conversion. Analysis using high performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) revealed that the major oligosaccharides produced by the enzyme were 3’-galactosylglucose, 3’-galactosyllactose, 3’-galactobiose, and allolactose, thus showing that this enzyme would prefer to form β-(13)- and β-(16)-linked GOS. Despite its predominantly hydrolytic activity, Saphera synthesised prebiotic GOS which could be interesting to dairy industry.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":"80 27","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138957979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are plant pathogens able to cause infection pre-, during, and post-harvest. The most important and economically-relevant mycotoxins of great concern to humans, plants, and animals are aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, and trichothecenes. The present review aimed to compile updated management strategies of mycotoxins in foods and feeds, including control and detoxification techniques. Generally, the strategies are divided into physical, chemical, and biological, and can be implemented during pre-, harvest, and post-harvest. Physical controls pre-harvest includes the development and planting of resistant varieties; during harvest include control of field infections, timely harvest, sufficient drainage, and physical barriers; and post-harvest include storage of harvested commodities under conditions that would prevent and exclude the growth and mycotoxin production by mycotoxigenic fungi. Chemical controls generally involve the use of chemically synthesised fungicides which are often associated with long-term effects on the environment. When compared with chemical and physical controls, biological controls are generally more unique, productive, and environmentally friendly, and when implemented appropriately in the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy, can collectively control the growth and proliferation of mycotoxigenic, and reduce the incidence of mycotoxin production and contamination in foods and feeds.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138956647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The canned figs were also stored at room temperature for 12 months, and the changes in phenolics and antioxidant properties during storage were determined. The canning process preserved a great part of the phenolics and antioxidant capacity. After canning, the Sarilop figs experienced a minor reduction in their total phenolic content, whereas no significant change was observed in the total phenolic content of the Bursa Siyahi figs. The total antioxidant activity of the figs increased by canning, which was observed more clearly for the unpeeled Bursa Siyahi figs. At the end of the storage, both Sarilop and Bursa Siyahi figs canned with fig juice had higher total phenolics, total antioxidant activity, and individual phenolics than the figs canned with other filling mediums. During the 12-month storage period, the most stable phenolic compounds found in the canned figs were rutin and gallic acid.

Therefore, the present work aimed to determine the characteristics of microencapsulation of VCO powder by emulsification and coacervation complex methods over 30 days of storage period. Results showed that SL VCO emulsion remained stable for three days of storage, while LBL VCO emulsion experienced syneresis. The particle size of the reconstituted VCO powder was also larger than the fresh emulsion. LBL microcapsule had the highest yield at 74.17%, and there was an increase in moisture content (MC) during 30 days of storage in CC microcapsule. Meanwhile, MC of SL microcapsule was constant, and the equilibrium MC of LBL was retained during 15 days of storage. A microencapsulation efficiency of up to 78.65% was obtained for CC, and the value decreased for all microcapsules during the 30 days of storage. Different oxidative characteristics were also reported, resulting in increased peroxide value of VCO powder. Furthermore, all microcapsules had amorphous and glassy surface morphology, as well as different characteristics and stability during storage.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":"12 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138955434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
