However, its high cost, time demand, and labor intensity limit routine applications in the food industry. Rapid Sensory Profiling Techniques (RSPTs) have emerged as faster, less resource-intensive alternatives to address these challenges. Among them, preferred attribute elicitation (PAE) stands out. This review aims, for the first time, to comprehensively clarify applications of PAE in food products and provide insights into challenges and trends. PAE enables consumers to collaboratively identify, measure, categorize, and prioritize key attributes while providing hedonic insight. By ranking attributes based on their relevance to product acceptance and preference, PAE integrates descriptive and affective dimensions of sensory perception, enhancing the understanding of consumer experience and product appeal. PAE has been applied to fruits, meat, dairy, dairy alternatives, bakery products, and beverages, yielding sensory profiles comparable to those obtained via DA. It has also been used to evaluate processing, resampling, storage, and fermentation effects, distinguish commercial products, and analyze sensory perception differences among consumer groups. Key methodological factors affecting PAE's reliability include the moderator's expertise, panelist profile, and attribute selection. Future research should expand its application to unexplored food categories, validate its relevance compared to traditional acceptance tests, assess its effectiveness in complex food matrices, and integrate it with other sensory methods. This is the first comprehensive review of the PAE application, offering practical insights for researchers and the food industry on correctly using this method.</p>","PeriodicalId":155,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1541-4337.70197","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143950253","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}

Being soft fruits, they are susceptible to various postharvest issues, reducing their shelf life, with postharvest loss reaching 15%–50%. Among various postharvest management techniques, edible coating is emerging as a popular method due to its positive effects on the quality, physiochemical, phytochemical, and organoleptic characteristics of these fruits. By creating a modified atmosphere, edible coatings can effectively reduce weight loss to less than 10%, meeting the international standard for marketing stone fruits. They also help delay firmness loss, as observed in peaches, where coated samples retained a firmness of 5.6 N compared to 1.8 N in control. Furthermore, edible coating can extend shelf life beyond 7 days at ambient temperature and up to 35 days in cold storage, as reported in literature. These coatings create a semipermeable barrier to gaseous exchange and moisture, helping preserve aroma compounds and delay ripening and respiration rates. Thus, this comprehensive review investigates the importance of edible coating in enhancing the quality attributes and the shelf life of stone fruits. This article also evaluates most current research done on edible coating applications in stone fruits and provides details on ideal coating conditions and requirements for these fruits. The study also discusses current developments in the application of bioactive compounds and nanotechnological techniques to enhance the functional properties and performance of edible coatings.

Current emulsion gels comprising a single polymeric network in the continuous phase are limited in their ability to deliver the desired textural and functional properties. In biomedical engineering, double-network hydrogels are extensively used. Here, the concept was applied to create double-network emulsion gels with enhanced stability, texture, and encapsulation of bioactive ingredients to closely mimic animal-based food. The existence of a second network is crucial to tuning the thermal characteristics for cooking stability and controlled release for functional food applications. The textural and thermal characteristics in dual gel network systems could be modulated by varying the concentration of individual biopolymers and/or gelators. Albeit the improvement compared to a single gel system, there are still challenges in creating double-network emulsion gel systems from food proteins and polysaccharides, mainly due to the differences in osmotic pressure of the hydrophilic continuous polysaccharide gel network and the hydrophobic dispersed oil phase. This led to apparent phase separations in these mixed protein-polysaccharide systems that have negative implications on the gel strength of these gels. This review provides a summary of the current understanding of double-network emulsion gels in terms of formation, network interaction, and implications on their properties relevant to food processing and product applications. The double-network emulsion gels could be a better option for structuring lipids than single-network emulsion gels and oleogels in plant-based food products.</p>","PeriodicalId":155,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1541-4337.70201","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143950068","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, the increasing consumption of these products has raised concerns regarding excessive fat intake, which has been linked to health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, there is growing interest in developing fat replacers. Fat replacers can mimic the physicochemical and sensory properties of natural fats in frozen desserts, including texture, mouthfeel, and flavor interaction, providing a comparable experience with a reduced calorie content. However, fat reduction in frozen desserts often leads to undesirable changes, including reduced smoothness and creaminess, increased chalkiness, and the emergence of dark colors and off-flavors. To mitigate these challenges, various strategies have been explored, including optimizing the ratio of ingredients, incorporating masking flavors, modifying processing techniques, and blending with stabilizers. While existing reviews highlight the benefits of fat replacers, they often focus on limited frozen dessert types and provide insufficient insight into replacement mechanisms and improvement strategies. This review aims to bridge this gap by examining a wide range of frozen desserts, comprehensively analyzing protein-based, carbohydrate-based, lipid-based, and complex fat replacers, and detailing their mechanisms of action, application challenges, and effects on the final product quality. Additionally, strategies for enhancing the sensory attributes of reduced-fat frozen desserts and future directions are discussed, ultimately supporting the development of sustainable, healthier, and consumer-acceptable fat alternatives in the food industry.</p>","PeriodicalId":155,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1541-4337.70191","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143950118","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}
