Consequently, there has been a significant push in recent years to minimize the reliance on chemical preservatives and to encourage the adoption of natural alternatives. This research examined the effectiveness of corn husk extract (CHE) nanoencapsulated in basil seed gum (BSG) and combined with sesame protein isolate (SPI) as natural preservatives in hamburgers, analyzing their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties over various storage durations in refrigeration. The extract contained phenolic and flavonoid compounds quantified at 1531.23 mg gallic acid per 100 g dry weight and 4.1047 quercetin equivalents per gram. Also, the amount of antioxidant properties of the extract was 68 free radical scavenging activity (DPPH) (percent) and 189.99 <i>μ</i>mol Fe⁺²/g(FRAP).

The value of zeta potential increased (+53.42) and reached its highest value in the use of composite wall materials. The stability of the nanoemulsions decreased with increasing storage time. However, the highest stability of 94.25% on the first day was obtained for the extract that was nanoencapsulated in the composite emulsifier. The tests of peroxide number, TBARS, TVN, release of phenolic compounds, total count in the meat product, and particle size and zeta potential in the emulsions were performed at intervals. The results showed that CHE encapsulated in BSG and SPI was more efficient in delaying the rate of chemical and microbial reactions.</p>","PeriodicalId":15717,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Processing and Preservation","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/jfpp/3212070","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143793698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 prevalence of celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders, such as gluten intolerance, prevented these people from consuming bread and other gluten-containing foods. In this study, two gluten-free (GF) double-layer pita breads were developed containing tapioca flour and chickpea flour, respectively. Both of these breads are made from a base, free from allergens and synthetic additives, consisting of rice flour, cornstarch, guar gum, psyllium husk, yeast, sugar, and salt. The physicochemical properties, nutritional content, shelf-life, and acceptability of the formulated breads in addition to that of an industrial GF mix, used as control, were determined. The chickpea-based bread showed to have the highest moisture content (38.2%) but had a low rollability score and was the fastest to spoil. However, it showed more acceptability compared to the tapioca-based bread and had the lowest fat content (0.71%) and significant highest values for protein (5.51%) and fiber content (4.46%). The tapioca-based bread had higher rollability scores than the control bread with fat and fiber contents of 1.38%, and 2.19%, respectively. All of the tested samples showed decrease in moisture after 5 days of baking and a slight increase in yeast and molds, emphasizing the need for the GF breads to be consumed fresh or frozen for later consumption. All samples tested were below 20 ppm of gluten, making them safe for individuals with celiac disease. Chickpea and tapioca GF breads show a significantly lower caloric content (275 and 280 Kcal/100 g) compared to the control (370 Kcal/100 g).

The kinetics of the juice concentration based on the change in total soluble solid content was investigated by applying five mathematical models. The modeling of this process was essential to accurately describe the evolution of total soluble solids and to identify the most suitable model for predicting concentration behavior. The constants of the mathematical models were estimated with nonlinear regression and according to the determination of three statistical parameters: the coefficient of determination (<i>R</i>²), the adjusted <i>R</i>² (adj <i>R</i>²), and the root mean square error (RMSE); it was revealed that the model known as Weibull distribution is the best descriptive one (<i>R</i>² &gt; 0.980, adj <i>R</i>² &gt; 0.971, and RMSE &lt; 2.12).

The study evaluated the physicochemical, textural, rheological, and microbiological characteristics of the processed cheese. The results showed that as the levels of egg white powder and soy protein isolate increased, the protein content of the samples also increased, whereas the addition of corn oil caused a decrease in this parameter (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). Increasing the levels of corn oil enhanced the meltability and oiling-off properties of the processed cheese samples. Conversely, higher levels of egg white powder and soy protein isolate reduced the meltability and oiling-off. The required adhesion force decreased with increasing levels of corn oil and egg white powder but increased with higher levels of soy protein isolate. Additionally, higher concentrations of soy protein isolate increased the work required for cutting the cheese samples. At elevated levels of corn oil and soy protein isolate, the elasticity decreased, while higher levels of egg white powder improved elasticity. Furthermore, microbiological findings revealed that the total colony count (≤ 10 cfu/g) and <i>Staphylococcus</i> (negative) values remained within the standard range set by the national standard of Iran.
