In the present work, the nutritional values and physicochemical properties of selected sweet potato varieties, namely VitAto (orange), Gendut (yellow), and Anggun (purple) were evaluated. Results indicated that VitAto had the highest content of crude fibre (2.02%), ash (0.65%), and carbohydrate (25%) as compared to Gendut and Anggun. The high carbohydrate content of VitAto makes this variety suitable as a substrate in the development of high nutrition products through food bioprocessing. The combination of parameters studied, such as strain type (Amylomyces rouxii F0050), inoculum size (0.4%), incubation temperature (30°C), and fermentation period (36 h) was found to not only affect the growth of microorganisms, but also improved the pH of culture fermentation. This demonstrated that to obtain the required products or metabolites, proper use of microorganisms to hydrolyse carbohydrates or starches into simpler sugars is very important as a source of carbon to grow the microorganisms.","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":"135265626","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 model was solved in Matlab® and simultaneously fitted to post-frying kinetics from literature, describing the surface and penetrated surface oil contents, as well as the surface and centre temperatures of potato cylinders at six holding temperatures (25, 100, 120, 140, 160, and 180°C). Besides, simple algorithms were developed to evaluate the oil layer thickness and the minimum oil penetration distance, obtained by assuming the potato cylinder was split into a dry zone, where the oil was absorbed, and a moist zone free from oil. The model achieved a good reproduction of fitted responses with average deviations ranging from 1.9 to 11.7% for all post-frying holding temperatures. Estimated distribution coefficients evidenced higher oil absorption at low holding temperatures, increasing from 0.66 kg surface oil/kg absorbed oil at 25°C to 2.60 kg surface oil/kg absorbed oil at 180°C, while no temperature influence on mass transfer coefficient was found under the explored experimental conditions (p > 0.05).

Milk was fermented by yoghurt cultures with the inclusion of the probiotic cultures comprising Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis. The total solid, protein, and total phenolic contents in yoghurts fortified with RSP were significantly higher than control, and an enhancement in the yoghurt's antioxidant capacity and firmness, while a reduction in yoghurt's adhesiveness and syneresis occurred (p < 0.05). However, sensory scores were lower in RSP-fortified yoghurts than in control. Throughout 21-d storage, the yoghurt's titratable acidity increased while its syneresis and pH decreased. The present work also determined that RSP fortification of probiotic yoghurt increased (p < 0.05) in L. acidophilus and B. animalis subsp. lactis growth (up to 8.24 and 8.10 log CFU/g, respectively) as compared to their respective controls (7.84 and 7.83 log CFU/g, respectively), and probiotic counts in yoghurts fortified with RSP remained over 6 log CFU/g at the end of storage.

In contrast, the highest mean values for sphericity were observed in Tartary buckwheat. The water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, swelling capacity, foaming, and foaming stability were high in common buckwheat as compared to Tartary buckwheat. Results regarding chemical properties revealed that common buckwheat contained higher quantity of protein (14.67%), fat (3.86%), fibre (1.38%), ash (2.24%), and total carbohydrate (65.8%); while Tartary buckwheat contained moisture (13.31%), protein (11.9%), fibre (1.38%), fat (3.57%), ash (2.69%), and total carbohydrate (68.8%). Furthermore, during the comparison of milling factions, it was found that buckwheat husk contained the highest quantity of copper (6.78 mg/100 g) and manganese (32.79 mg/100 g), while fine flour proved to be a rich source of magnesium.

The probiotic strain L. plantarum BP102 was able to grow in jamu kunyit asam with a density of 107 - 108 CFU/mL, followed by a decrease in pH value after 5-d storage. The L. plantarum BP102 in jamu kunyit asam also showed its character as a probiotic, namely, survival rates at low pH and in the presence of bile salts of 63 - 70 and 73 - 83%. The antioxidant activity of fermented jamu kunyit asam did not show an increase. The addition of L. plantarum BP102 was able to improve the organoleptic quality of fermented jamu kunyit asam, especially in terms of flavour and colour.

Salmonella is one of the common causes of food poisoning. In the present work, polyclonal antibody against the recombinant PagN protein was prepared, and coupled with carboxylated magnetic beads to form immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) for capturing Salmonella, which was then combined with qPCR technology which used the specific primers of invA gene to accurately quantify the number of colonies, thus establishing the IMBs-qPCR method for detection of Salmonella. 0.2 mg IMBs could specifically concentrate Salmonella, with the stable capturing efficiency of 80%, corresponding to the concentrations of 102 - 105 CFU/mL. The minimum detection limit concentration was 101 CFU/mL. The method was applied for detection and enumeration of Salmonella in pork and milk samples, and the capture efficiency of 77.38 and 80.92% were obtained. In summary, the IMBs-qPCR method established herein could effectively detect Salmonella with good specificity and sensitivity. The whole detection time was less than 9 h, which laid a foundation for development of a rapid detection kit for foodborne pathogens.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136239806","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}

A microbiological challenge test was performed to assess the maximum growth rate (MGR) and the duplication time (Td) of the pathogen, testing three strains separately. We also assessed the behaviour of the indigenous microflora of the fruits. Results demonstrated that papaya and melon were two favourable substrates for L. monocytogenes. The MGR was 0.044 log CFU/g/h with a Td of 6.77 h for papaya, and 0.029 log CFU/g/h with a Td of 10.24 h for melon.

Among various microorganisms, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an essential role in establishing sensory characteristics of the cheese. In Cameroon, the effect of isolated LAB on the sensory characteristics of cheese produced from local cow milk has not yet been investigated. Therefore, the present work aimed to isolate LAB and evaluate their influence on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of locally produced soft cheeses. Four strains of LAB were isolated and identified as Enterococcus sp.1, Enterococcus sp.2, Pediococcus sp., and Leuconostoc sp. These isolates were combined in batches for production of cheeses, including Frm 741 (Enterococcus sp.1 and Enterococcus sp.2), Frm 891 (Enterococcus sp.2 and Leuconostoc sp.), Frm 683 (Pediococcus sp. and Enterococcus sp.1), Frm 425 (Pediococcus sp. and Leuconostoc sp.), Frm 503 (Pediococcus sp. and Enterococcus sp.2), Frm 439 (Leuconostoc sp. and Enterococcus sp.1), and Frm 625 (Enterococcus sp.1, Enterococcus sp.2, Leuconostoc sp., and Pediococcus sp.). Cheese produced from the combination of Enterococcus sp.1 and Enterococcus sp.2 (Frm 741), unlike the others, did not drain properly throughout the production process. However, all products showed excellent microbiological quality in relation to biological contaminants, such as Salmonella, staphylococci, and coliforms. Moreover, cheese Frm 425 was most appreciated by consumers for its sweet taste, yellow colour, pleasant smell, and low acidity (51.7°D). On the other hand, cheese Frm 439 was least appreciated by consumers owing to its bad odour, bitter taste, and high acidity (144.9°D). Taken together, the present work demonstrated that the isolated LAB could be used to produce soft cheese with a natural rind and unique sensory characteristics that are appreciated by Cameroonian consumers.","PeriodicalId":13754,"journal":{"name":"international food research journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136240216","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}
