The meatball samples were divided into eight formulations including control, 0.02% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), 0.2% distilled water and ethanolic extracts, 0.4% distilled water and ethanolic extracts, and 0.8% distilled water and ethanolic extracts. Aqueous fruit extract exhibited higher antioxidant activity ranging from 34.30 to 75.59%, with IC50 9.74 μg/mL as compared to the other extracts. These findings were in accordance with the highest total phenolic (1,550.22 mg GAE/g extract) and flavonoid (19.35 mg CE/g extract) contents of distilled water crude extract, followed by methanolic extract, ethanolic extract, and acetonic extract, respectively. The meatballs supplemented with both ethanolic and aqueous extracts showed higher antioxidant activity than control and BHT samples, particularly at the highest concentration of 0.8%. Similarly, the lowest TBARS values were observed in the samples with 0.8% ethanolic extracts ranging from 0.08 - 0.45 mg MDA/kg of sample. In contrast, the meatballs supplemented with aqueous extracts yielded the lowest microbial counts of 1.94 - 4.90 log CFU/g in comparison with the samples supplemented with ethanolic extracts. This was in agreement with the lowest MIC and MBC values of aqueous crude extracts (3.98 mg/mL) against all the tested foodborne pathogens. Based on sensory analysis, supplementing the pork meatballs with either ethanolic or aqueous extracts resulted in decreased sensory attributes in a concentration-dependent manner. E. officinalis fruit extracts could have an impact on unpleasant sensory characteristics in the meatballs with increasing levels of supplementation.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88720501","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}

In the present work, we determined how different concentrations of sucralose (SC)—0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%—as a replacement for sucrose while maintaining the same level of sweetness of rose tea gummy jelly (RTGJ) could affect the physical properties, reducing sugar content, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity by DPPH method, sensory properties, and consumer attitude toward RTGJ. Results showed that the red colour (a* value) of 100% SC was the highest (p < 0.05). The hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values of 50% SC were the highest at a significant level (p < 0.05). The springiness and water activity of all samples were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Total reducing sugar content in the control sample was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than in other samples. The TPC and TFC of RTGJ were not significantly different (p > 0.05) among all samples, while antioxidant activity slightly decreased with increasing amount of SC in RTGJ. Remarkably, sensory analysis revealed no differences between the control sample and 100% SC, which had the highest liking scores in terms of sweetness, sourness, springiness, rose tea flavour, and overall liking. Consumers expressed that RTGJ with 100% SC could help them to relax and decrease tooth decay. The present work introduced a new functional jelly confectionery product using 100% SC and adding rose tea which showed potential for promoting phytochemical properties and enhancing emotional and health advantages.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":"236 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77014567","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}

Most refined sugars have a low antioxidant content due to polyphenol degradation occurring during sugar refining. Natural sweeteners such as honey, molasses, and dark brown sugar possess moderate to high phenolic content. Other phytochemicals found in natural sweeteners are carotenoids, organic acids, and terpenoids. Additionally, molasses and syrups synthesised from anthocyanin-rich fruits and roots contain anthocyanins apart from flavonoids. Non-nutritive sweeteners, such as sugar alcohols, are low in calories besides their sweet taste. Sweet proteins, dihydrochalcones, phenolics, and terpenoid derivatives are emerging sweeteners. These sweet substances are effective antioxidants that could help reduce oxidative stress in the human body although the amount ingested is usually low. The present review emphasised specific natural, high-phenolic, and other sweet compounds, and examined the antioxidative characteristics of these sweeteners. The risk of excessive ingestion of these sweet substances is yet to be proven.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":"213 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79466508","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}

Additionally, the quality attributes of strawberries wrapped using the films during storage were investigated in terms of weight loss, colour changes, and firmness. It was observed that the incorporation of EOs into the starch films improved the elongation at break, especially at higher concentrations. These films became slightly yellowish and more opaque. Besides, the changes in quality attributes of strawberries wrapped with starch/EOs films were the lowest as compared to the unwrapped strawberries and the strawberries wrapped with starch films. Starch films incorporated with 1% (v/v) VEO were the most effective films due to relatively high flexibility and low stiffness, apart from the ability to decrease the changes in quality attributes of strawberries. To conclude, the starch/EOs films have great potential for food packaging applications.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87788132","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 fermentation process parameters were optimised using single factor tests and response surface design. The sensory characteristics of the compound fruit wine were used as an indicator. The antioxidant potential of the purple compound fruit wine was also assessed using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH·) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) scavenging rates. A purple compound fruit wine with a sensory score of 94.2 and 8.6% alcohol by volume was obtained using a combination of 72.0% purple pepper juice and 28.0% purple corn juice (with an initial sugar content of 23.3%), followed by inoculation with 6.2% Saccharomyces cerevisiae and fermentation for 7.8 d at 23°C. The resulting purple compound fruit wine had a typical harmonious fruit aroma and a mellow taste. Furthermore, the content of anthocyanins in purple compound fruit wine was 1.38 ± 0.14 mg/mL, and the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) values against DPPH· and ·OH were 51.31 and 49.08 mg/mL, respectively.

Specifically, the cytotoxicity level of EBN extracts (HMG, EHMG, pHMG) against MCF-7, human immune cells of cytotoxic T cells, and monocytes (CD8+ and CD14+) were evaluated by measuring the production of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic molecules released in single and co-culture of MCF-7, CD8+, and CD14+ cells, before and after EBN treatment. The highest cytotoxic effect towards MCF-7 using IC50 of 15 µg/mL was demonstrated by HMG but no effects on CD8+ and CD14+, with cell viability of more than 90%. At the mRNA level, activated CD8+ and CD14+ depicted increased pro-apoptotic gene expression after HMG treatment in co-culture. Additionally, HMG treatment increased apoptosis by down-regulating the regulation of anti-apoptotic genes and up-regulating the pro-apoptotic genes in MCF-7. ELISA and multiplex assay reflected increased pro-apoptotic factors, and decreased anti-apoptotic soluble factors, by non-activated and activated CD8+ and CD14+, in a single or co-culture with MCF-7 after HMG treatment.

Based on the Islamic perspective, pig-based derivatives such as pork, lard, and gelatine are considered haram, which is an Arabic term for “forbidden”. Therefore, it is important to develop an analytical method for identifying and quantifying these compounds, which are sometimes found in some food products. The present work thus aimed to ascertain the potential of the attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) method for detecting pig-based derivatives in food products. ATR-FTIR spectrophotometry is recommended to be used to identify the presence of pig-based derivatives in some products, particularly processed food. In analytical chemistry, the method is generally used for the identification, characterisation, structure explanation, and monitoring of reactions. This analysis can be performed quickly, economically, easily, and does not require complicated sample preparation. ATR-FTIR can also be combined with principal component analysis (PCA), chemometric method, and multivariate partial least squares (PLS) calibration to accurately evaluate pig-based derivatives in beef meatballs. In combination with chemometric techniques, it can also provide the predictive and descriptive modelling in a combination with chemometric techniques by selecting the optimal frequency region. Furthermore, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy coupled with PLS and PCA chemometric regression models can be a potentially reliable, accurate, and precise method for determining pig-based derivatives in food.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":"2010 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86303309","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 LKE was subjected to preliminary scrutiny followed by FTIR mediated analysis and RP-HPLC, then its antioxidant activity was accessed. Five batches of minced mutton were prepared as C-1 (negative control with no LKE or BHA), C-2 (positive control with 200 ppm BHA), T-1 (0.05% LKE), T-2 (0.1% LKE), and T-3 (0.5% LKE). FTIR analysis showed C=O-CH3, C=C, C-O, and O-H peaks at 1028, 1609, and 1445 cm-1 wave numbers, respectively. The LKE was found to have six phenolic compounds namely p-hydroxybenzoic acid, gallic acid, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and sinapic acid. In minced mutton, LKE was found to be significantly (p ≤ 0.05) more effective preservative than BHA at 0.5% level of incorporation in terms of TBARS value, tyrosine values, and microbial quality. During storage, the decrease in ERV and increase in total plate count were at a slower rate in treated samples and were devoid of coliform counts. However, sensory attributes at 0.5% LKE incorporation level were negatively affected, and imparted greenish tinge to minced mutton. The present work concluded that LKE might be incorporated without compromising sensory attributes. Further, preservative effects at 0.1% level were at par with BHA (200 ppm), and extended the minced mutton’s shelf life up to 9 d at refrigerated temperature.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73026409","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}
