The experimental approach involved the preparation of edible coatings using a mixture of bacterial cellulose (BC) slurry and garlic extract. The antibacterial and antioxidant activities were determined using the disc diffusion and DPPH method, respectively. Subsequently, tomatoes were coated using the dipping method with different treatments, namely BC/glycerol/CMC/garlic (S1), BC/garlic (S3), beeswax (comparison), and uncoated tomatoes (control). The physicochemical properties of the tomatoes were assessed, including sensory aspects by ten untrained panellists, weight loss by gravimetric analysis, vitamin C content by titration method, and pH value on days 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 during the shelf life study at room temperature. Results showed that garlic extract applied to BC coating possessed antibacterial and antioxidant properties. BC coating containing garlic demonstrated more impact on the physicochemical qualities of tomatoes as compared to uncoated ones. Among the various treatments, S1 exhibited the most effective preservation of tomato quality. Therefore, the addition of garlic extract proved beneficial in augmenting the antibacterial and antioxidant capacity of BC coating, thus leading to enhanced quality maintenance and extended shelf life of tomatoes.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135265632","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}

However, the lack of promotion leads to an oversupply during peak season, thus reducing its market price. Proper handling and packaging are therefore necessary to maintain the quality and extend the shelf life of dabai. In the present work, nylon film with an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of 55 cc/m2/day and water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) of 334 g/m2/day; polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film with an OTR of 90 cc/m2/day and WVTR of 35 g/m2/day; and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film with an OTR of 8000 cc/m2/day and WVTR of 200 g/m2/day were used to pack dabai and stored at 5°C for 14 d. All films had a dimension of 200 × 300 mm, and a thickness of 0.01 μm. It was found that dabai maintained its hue angle (h°) values within the dark purple region (299.73° to 338.64°) and its lightness (L*) values throughout storage. However, the colour intensity (chroma) significantly changed (p < 0.05) between different films throughout storage (p < 0.05). The control sample had the most significant decrease in firmness and weight (p < 0.05) between day 0 and 14, followed by the samples stored in PET, LDPE, and nylon. Whereas the samples in LDPE demonstrated the lowest respiration rate as compared to nylon and PET. The uncompetitive Michaelis-Menten equation model was used to model the respiration rate of dabai. Results showed that all films obtained good fit (R2 of near to 1). Additionally, the mean relative percentage (E%) was less than 10%, thus indicating that the data were suitable for real-time application.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135265781","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}

Making suspesi soft cheese by adding biduri (Calotropis gigantea) leaf extract is generally followed by heating. The present work focused only on the ability of biduri leaf extracts to coagulate milk protein, and not on heating of the extract. The present work aimed to analyse the coagulation power of fresh and powdered biduri leaf extracts, and to evaluate the physicochemical, chemical, and organoleptic characteristics of the produced suspesi soft cheeses. The present work used a completely randomised design with two treatments and six replications. The variables measured were physicochemical characteristics, including coagulation time, curd production, whey percentage, pH, and lactic acid titration. Physicochemical characteristic analyses of suspesi soft cheeses coagulated with fresh and powdered biduri leaf extracts showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in the coagulation time and curd production. On the other hand, it did not show significant differences (p > 0.05) in the percentage of whey, pH, and lactic acid titration. The chemical content of suspesi soft cheeses showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in the water, protein, and crude fat contents. The organoleptic characteristics of suspesi soft cheeses showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the colour, but did not show significant differences (p > 0.05) in the smell, taste, and texture.

Plant-based food diets may have low source of vitamin B12 as plants do not produce them. A possible alternative to mitigate this is the consumption of fermented vegetables and fruits. Therefore, we aimed to provide an overview of the work being done with fermented vegetables and fruits, and show evidence that it is possible to obtain the necessary daily amount of vitamin B12 for human health and maintenance. Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, acts as a cofactor for the enzyme methionine synthase and methylmalonylCoA mutase in eukaryotes. The dietary reference values for adult men and women range between 2 and 4 μg/day; however, the requirement may increase depending on special recommendations. The main causes for vitamin B12 deficiency are autoimmune conditions (e.g., pernicious anaemia), malabsorption, and dietary insufficiency. One of the commonly adopted measures to deal with vitamin deficiency is supplementation. It is also possible to obtain food enriched with vitamin B12 through fermentation. Different plant materials and microorganisms can be used to produce fermented products and enhance traditional products, such as tempeh, to increase vitamin B12 concentration in the final product. The bioaccessibility and bioavailability of vitamin B12 in fermented vegetables and fruits are important factors to be considered, and demand more studies. The intake of soy fermented foods, such as tempeh, tofu, and cheonggukjang was associated with cognitive enhancement and neuroprotective effects. In addition to fermented vegetables and fruits, other non-animal sources of vitamin B12 that deserve great attention are algae and mushrooms. Since fermentation can produce considerable amounts of vitamin B12, fermented vegetables and fruits are feasible alternative sources for the intake of this vitamin.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135265789","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 collected samples were subjected to bacteriological isolation and morphological identification for microbiological analyses. All Campylobacter-positive samples were further confirmed with molecular identification by using a polymerase chain reaction. Campylobacter prevalence in poultry farms, processing plants, and retailers were identified. For the KAP survey, 300 respondents answered a questionnaire evaluating their levels of KAP regarding food safety while handling live birds and subsequently poultry products after slaughtering. Overall, the mean KAP scores of the workers at farms, processing plants, and retail outlets were assessed. The survey data indicated that even though the overall KAP levels of the poultry workers were excellent, the bacterial prevalence of Campylobacter was still high.

The finished product quality of these fried food items thus mainly depends on the consistency of flour dispersions. Therefore, a concentration-dependent steady-state and dynamic rheological study, along with the pasting behaviour, was carried out. Steady shear rheology exhibited concentration-dependent pseudoplastic behaviour with significantly higher apparent viscosity for 40 - 45% CF dispersions, and a desirable consistency to be used in making fried sweets and snacks. The Herschel-Bulkley model described dispersions better at 5 - 20%, while Mizrahi-Berk at 25 - 50%. Hahn Ree-Erying's model described thixotropic behaviours for time-dependent flow; increasing CF concentration from 30 - 50% and increasing storage (G') and loss (G'') modulus in the linear viscoelastic region. However, G' values were dominant over G'' values in the small amplitude region, showing elastic behaviour, whereas viscous behaviour was exhibited in the higher amplitude region. During heating (30 - 80°C) in the temperature sweep test, concentrated samples (30 - 50%) showed a drastic increase in G' and complex viscosity (η*), while in cooling stages (95 - 25°C), a 25% concentration sample resulted in the highest values of G', G'', and η*.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135265788","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}

This constitutes a health risk to human health. In the present work, the level of ten pesticide residues namely chlorpyrifos, profenofos, aldrin, endrin, cypermethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, carbendazim, propamocarb, imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam in ten types of vegetables collected from six local markets were measured using modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) coupled with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Results showed that 13.3% samples contained pesticide residues above the maximum residue limit (MRL) prescribed by the Malaysian Food Regulations 1985, 55.0% of samples contained pesticide residues below the MRL, and no pesticide residues were detected in 31.7% of samples. Carbendazim and chlorpyrifos were among the highest pesticides detected in the samples. For the type of vegetables, kale and spinach contained high concentrations of pesticide residues above the MRL. In order to produce safe vegetables, the efficiency of different washing methods (tap water, 10% sodium bicarbonate solution, and 10% acetic acid solution) in reducing carbendazim and chlorpyrifos residues in a kale model system was evaluated. Results showed that the levels of carbendazim and chlorpyrifos reduction for all three methods were significantly different (p < 0.05) with 10% acetic acid solution being the most effective followed by 10% sodium bicarbonate solution, and tap water. Washing kale with 10% acetic acid reduced 76.0 and 41.2% of carbendazim and chlorpyrifos, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended for consumers to practice 10% sodium bicarbonate washing method by soaking vegetables with an acidic solution followed by rinsing with tap water to reduce pesticide residues, and minimise the exposure to hazardous pesticides.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135265790","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}

These properties make them readily marketable, and can be found in supermarkets worldwide, generating multimillion-dollar sale revenues. The global edible mushroom market was valued at USD 5.08 billion in 2021, which is expected to grow to USD 6.43 billion in 2028.
