Exposome research intends to explore the nongenetic, that is, environmental causes of chronic disease and their interactions comprehensively. Residual antibiotics can enter the human body through therapeutics, foods of animal origin, aquatic products, or drinking water. In the last decade, significant levels of residual antibiotics in human urine have been described, demonstrating frequent exposure throughout populations. To which extent they contribute to human health risks is debated. Human biomonitoring (HBM) aims to determine and quantify concentrations of xenobiotics in human specimens and provides the toolbox to monitor exposure to diverse chemical exposures. Due to their public health implications, priority-listed xenobiotics are routinely monitored in the European Union and other countries. However, antibiotics, an important class of (food-derived) xenobiotics, are still not systematically investigated for a better and more holistic understanding in the context of exposomics. This review provides a comprehensive summary of HBM research related to antibiotics, existing liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)-based analytical methods, and potential health risks caused by unintended exposure. Incorporating antibiotics into the chemical exposome framework through routine HBM using multiclass analytical methods will provide a better understanding of the toxicological or pharmacological mixture effects and, ultimately, the chemical exposome.</p>","PeriodicalId":155,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety","volume":"24 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1541-4337.70105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, microbial contamination and quality degradation during production, storage, and distribution pose significant challenges. Ultraviolet (UV) and pulsed light (PL) processing have emerged as nonthermal technologies offering effective, eco-friendly solutions for microbial decontamination and quality retention in spices. This review explores recent advancements and applications of UV and PL treatments in the spice industry, highlighting their impact on pathogenic and spoilage microbial safety, physicochemical properties, and bioactive compound retention. UV processing, primarily involving UV-C radiation, inactivates microorganisms by disrupting DNA, offering effective surface decontamination without compromising quality of spices and herbs. PL, which utilizes high-intensity, broad-spectrum light pulses, extends this capability to irregularly shaped surfaces, further enhancing microbial inactivation. Both methods preserve key quality attributes such as phenolics, flavonoids, antioxidant activity, ascorbic acids, and color while mitigating sensory losses, making them attractive alternatives to conventional thermal and chemical treatments. The review also examines critical factors influencing the efficacy of these technologies, including processing parameters, spice morphology, and microbial load. Despite promising results, challenges related to regulatory approval, equipment design, and consumer acceptance remain. This comprehensive analysis underscores the potential of UV and PL technologies to revolutionize spices and herbs processing, ensuring safety and quality while aligning with sustainable and consumer-driven demands in the food industry.</p>","PeriodicalId":155,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety","volume":"24 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coatings are often composed of a combination of proteins, lipids, and/or polysaccharides and can contain plasticizers to increase flexibility and elongation. Surfactants and emulsifiers are sometimes added to decrease surface water activity and prevent moisture loss. The ideal edible coating slows the loss of desirable flavor volatiles and water vapor as well as restricts the exchange of gases, creating a modified atmosphere but not creating anaerobic conditions, all while not adding off-flavors to the food. In this review, the different components used in edible films and coatings are examined, along with their benefits and weaknesses. Additionally, this study reviews possible safety issues associated with consuming ingredients used in edible films and coatings. Edible films and coatings are more successful when multiple ingredients are used together to create a good moisture and gas barrier, thus creating the possibility for interactions. Most, but not all, ingredients used in edible films and coatings do not pose a risk to people when consumed at the levels present in coatings.

O/W biopolymer-based HIPPEs are categorized as complex fluids, where rheological parameters are crucial for optimizing printability. However, existing reviews have not fully elucidated the interrelationship between rheology and printability for HIPPEs in enhancing the quality and performance of printed parts. This review delved into the influence factors of the continuous phase (e.g., biopolymer type, concentration, pH, and ionic strength) and the oil phase (e.g., oil type, volume fraction, and encapsulated components) on their rheology, to adjust their rheological behaviors in order to prepare more eligible HIPPEs as printing inks. Moreover, a spectrum of rheology–printability relationships, derived from empirical trends and rigorous analytical models, is examined to provide generalized rheological guidelines for achieving successful printability in O/W biopolymer-based HIPPEs. Furthermore, unique challenges and future perspectives on preparing their complex rheological behaviors suitable for additive manufacturing in O/W biopolymer-based HIPPEs were presented.

The undissolved particles (flecks) are of different shapes and structures, primarily composed of fat and/or protein. The occurrence of flecking in reconstituted milk powders negatively impacts the visual appearance and overall quality of the final product, thereby influencing consumer acceptance and brand trust. Standard quality control measures, like wettability or insolubility, and analysis including rehydration testing are important but not sufficient in predicting, identifying and/or quantifying flecking, often necessitating additional measures to be implemented. Suitable additional analyses for flecking include confocal laser scanning microscopy, electron microscopy, particle size, and density analysis. However, it is crucial to highlight that merely tightening quality control parameters is insufficient to combat flecking. This approach does not allow for the implementation of rapid solutions when the issue is detected at the final stages of quality assessment. To effectively address fleck formation, it is necessary to scrutinize unit operations and identify precisely where, and how, in the process flecks are formed. The issue often requires reformulation and/or engineering interventions, making the final product more robust and resilient to fleck formation. To date, protein denaturation/aggregation and emulsion instability are proposed as major mechanisms governing fleck formation. Additionally, the effect of seasonality of milk chemical composition and reconstitution medium (water/coffee/tea) are other important factors. This work aims to review flecking in reconstituted fat-filled milk powder solutions by interrogating the production process, including the skim milk base wet and dry processing, alongside the powder storage conditions and reconstitution methods, and thereby identify strategies for the control of flecking.</p>","PeriodicalId":155,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety","volume":"24 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143078127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
