Key parameters include total colour difference (\u0000 \u0000 Δ\u0000 E\u0000 ∗\u0000 \u0000 ), aparent viscosity, colour analysis via CIELAB coordinates, and pH. Additionally, residual enzymatic activity (RA%) of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) was measured. Strawberry nectar (12°Brix) was prepared and subjected to processing, with thermal treatment in 50 mL tubes and HPP in 40 mL polyethylene bags. Samples were stored under refrigeration during 21 days, with microbial analysis conducted to assess microbiological stability during storage. TT exhibited a more pronounced reduction in total aerobic microbial count (TAMC) compared to HPP, which showed no detectable yeast and mould. Apparent viscosity varied among samples, with HPP at 600 MPa displaying a significant increase of 52.1% compared to the control. The pseudoplastic behavior, characterized by \u0000 \u0000 n\u0000 \u0000 values lower than 1, was consistent across all treatments. TT led to a reduction in \u0000 \u0000 L\u0000 ∗\u0000 \u0000 brightness value during storage, whereas HPP-treated samples underwent colour changes over time with \u0000 \u0000 Δ\u0000 E\u0000 ∗\u0000 \u0000 of 3.1 for 400 MPa, 3 minutes, at 21 days. For PPO and POD, the 600 MPa treatment exhibited the highest inhibition (44% and 4% RA, respectively). This comprehensive study provides insights into how different HPP processing conditions affect the quality attributes, enzymatic activity, and microbiological stability of strawberry nectar during production and refrigerated storage. The research’s significance lies in its holistic comparison of HPP with traditional thermal pasteurization, offering valuable information for both industry and consumers.","PeriodicalId":15717,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Processing and Preservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138603698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These functional foods are alternate approaches to treat or cure chronic diseases. However, the application of BASs is limited due to their hydrophobic nature, low bioavailability, sensitivity to gastric acid, and environmental conditions (i.e., high temperatures, radiation, pH, and oxygen). Thus, research has been channeled to find ways of curbing these limitations. This review provides an overview of the modern methods for BAS encapsulation, carrier classifications, benefits, and drawbacks as well as the biosafety of encapsulated BASs. Encapsulation of BASs into organic/inorganic carriers or composites overcomes the limitations mentioned above. In addition, encapsulation enables the controlled release of active compounds to target cells. The market for encapsulated foods has grown globally at a significant pace due to their various applications as functional foods, dietary supplements, and other products. It is estimated that by 2027, the market worth of encapsulated foods will be valued at $17 billion.","PeriodicalId":15717,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Processing and Preservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139227905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Food enrichment or fortification is an effective strategy being utilized worldwide to fight malnutrition. The objective of the study was to extract protein and minerals from an underutilized natural source of jackfruit seed and to incorporate these nutrients into a widely consumed food yogurt. Protein isolation was achieved through the removal of the major component starch from jackfruit seed flour (JSF) followed by spray drying to get jackfruit seed protein isolate (JSPI). Mineral extraction was performed from the residuals after protein extraction. Four different yogurt samples were formulated enriched with varying concentrations of extracted protein (8%, 6%, 4%, and 2%) and a constant mineral concentration of 747 mg/100 g of yogurt. A plain yogurt served as the control sample (S5), which was not enriched with protein and mineral. The yogurts were successfully enriched with protein and minerals in this study. The sensory evaluation experiment suggested that the yogurt sample (S2) prepared with 6% protein and 747 mg/100 g mineral secured better sensory acceptance than any other sample prepared in this study.

Using the YOLO V5 framework, features are collected from the segmented images and the food item is categorized. In order to determine the dimensions of each food item, we identify the items first. In order to calculate the quantity of the food item, the estimated dimension must be used. The calories are then computed using the food item’s volume. The aforementioned approaches, which were trained on the dataset’s food images, that correctly identified and forecasted a food item’s calories had an accuracy of 97.12%.

The results indicate the significant differences in the gelatinization and the distribution of starch granules for different varieties of beans. The higher gelatinization temperature of adzuki flour results in the lower enthalpy of gelatinization with an undulating tendency of the retrogradation due to the short-term aging of amylose and long-term aging of amylopectin within adzuki flour. In the early stage of aging, the coexistence of protein, fat, and starch inside adzuki flour hinder the aging of starch. An Avrami equation is introduced to characterize the aging process of the starch–protein–fat–water system of different varieties of adzuki flours. The nucleation mode of the crystal nucleus has a significant effect on the aging rate of different varieties of adzuki flour. The fat in the system fails to demonstrate a significant effect on the nucleation mode of starch retrogradation. The addition of glycolipids increases the gelatinization enthalpy of adzuki flour. Glycolipids can reduce the aging degree of adzuki flour, and the inhibition effect on the retrogradation of sucrose monoester is greater than that of maltose monoester.

This study is aimed at determining the levels of heavy metal residues (As, Cd, Hg, and Pb) in hen eggs after applying different cooking methods. In an experimentally designed study, forty-four hen egg samples were selected from 22 best-selling brands of supermarkets in Tehran and categorized into one of four groups (raw, dry-frying, and boiling with and without eggshells). The levels of heavy metal residues were analyzed by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The average levels of heavy metals (As, Cd, Hg, and Pb) in raw samples were 0.307, 1.654, 0.121, and 6.5 (μg.kg-1), respectively. After applying cooking methods, the residue of two heavy metals in boiling without eggshells (As: 0.228 ± 0.197 ; Cd: 1.985 ± 0.037 ) was lower than boiling with eggshells (As: 0.457 ± 0.918 ; Cd: 2.11 ± 0.223 μg.kg-1), while the dry-frying method had the lowest level of heavy metal residue (As: 0.222 ± 0.109 ; Cd: 1.54 ± 0.223 ) ( p < 0.05 ) and could be identified as efficient in reducing the amount of these heavy metals. In addition, different cooking methods did not make a significant difference in other heavy metal residues (Hg and Pb). To explain this reduction, two hypotheses can be proposed to explain the reduction of heavy metals after applying different cooking methods. First, the eggshell is permeable; the second is the association of heavy metals bonding with sulfur groups and weight loss due to evaporation. All heavy metal residues were found to be within acceptable permissible thresholds. Therefore, policymakers should protect the health of the population by continuously monitoring heavy metals in foods and prioritizing education and research on how to reduce them in the food chain.","PeriodicalId":15717,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Processing and Preservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139268419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
