They are known today as one of the fastest growing food commodities in international trade, maybe as a result of their perceived health benefits, culinary attributes and importantly, being a source of protein. The effects of two major drying methods; sun-drying and oven-drying at 50°C, 60°C or 70°C were investigated on the nutritional, microbiological and sensory properties of shrimp powder. From the result of the study, it was observed that the sun-dried shrimp powder had higher moisture content than the oven-dried shrimp powder. There were slight variations in the proximate compositions of the shrimp powder. The total yeast count was higher in the sun-dried shrimp powder (38× 10-5 cfu/g) and the lowest yeast count was observed in oven-dried shrimp powder at 70°C (19× 10-5 cfu/g). Also, the oven-dried shrimp powder at 70°C had the lowest total viable count (TVC) of 12× 10-5 cfu/g while higher TVC was observed in the sun-dried shrimp powder (36× 10-5 cfu/g). Neither mold nor coliform growth was observed on both sun-dried and oven-dried shrimp powder. The result of the sensory evaluation revealed the significant effects of drying methods on the sensory parameters of shrimps. There were significant differences in consumer preferences for aroma, appearance, color, taste and overall acceptability. The oven-dried shrimp powder at 70°C was preferred in all parameters evaluated than the sun-dried powder.","PeriodicalId":15727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Processing and Technology","volume":"24 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82476123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fructans are however not easily absorbed. Both types have a wide range of health benefits. Fruit is known to be a rich source of these classes of carbohydrates. \u0000Objective: The objective of this study is to estimate free sugars and fructans in commonly consumed fruits in Maiduguri metropolis of North East Nigeria with a view to developing for the first time a food compositional table which reflects the presence and amounts of specific free sugars and fermentable oligosaccharides (fructans) in fruits within the study area. \u0000Methodology: Twenty-two (22) fruits samples were collected and processed. Free sugars and fructan contents in the fruits were determined using the Megazyme K-SUFRG and K-FRUC assay kits. \u0000Results: All the twenty-two fruits analyzed showed the presence of free glucose with tamarind (Tamarindus indica) showing the highest concentration, followed by sweet melon (Curcumas melon) and desert palm (Balanite aegyptiaca) respectively. Sweet detar (Detarium microcapum) had the lowest free glucose content of 0.01 g/100 g. On the contrary, only 50% of the total fruits studied had some detectable free fructose and sucrose. Free fructose content in oranges>African locust bean>desert date (3.34 g/100 g>1.09 g/100 g>0.82 g/100 g). The amount of sucrose in plantain (Musa paradisiaca) was 20.01 g/100 g which is 2-folds higher than its contents in Chris thorn (Zizipus spinacristi). Daleb Palm (Borassus aethiopum) was found to be rich in fructans followed closely by bananas and plantains. All other fruits studied showed less than 0.9% of fructan contents. \u0000Conclusion: Information from this study provides a useful document for the development of food composition table that is reflective of the free sugars and fructan contents of fruits consumed within the region.","PeriodicalId":15727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Processing and Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81989549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, food authenticity is one of the most common uses of this technology. The correct labeling of the biological species in food products is one of the critical components of authentic food. Mislabelling of species has economic, health and conservation impacts on a wide scale. As a result, DNA barcoding has been adopted as a regulatory tool by food agencies in several countries. This presentation reviews the use of DNA barcoding for seafood authenticity in particular with a focus on Canadian studies we have conducted. We compare findings from samples collected in restaurants or markets to those collected at import, showing generally increased levels of mislabelling incidences further in the supply chain. We also discuss our work to assess the readiness of public sequence databases to support regulatory testing in Canada and the ways in which citizen scientists can contribute. Finally, we conclude with the next step in DNA authenticity testing. Building on the databases of sequences available, the generation of a regulatory quality database with curated sequences of high quality has been used to create portable real-time PCR testing based on DNA barcoding data. This testing brings the power of the DNA barcode sequence library to the field by allowing testing for target species to be done on site by non-experts without needing to send samples out for Sanger sequencing. The increased accessibility to screening for particular species may help to address potential food fraud at multiple points in the supply chain.","PeriodicalId":15727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Processing and Technology","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89687359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, this research area needs an extensive study to reach general rules by considering a wide range of people with different experiences and mentalities. In this study, a statistical population was questioned for 11 general colors in food packing. After analyzing questionnaires data, significant correlations were obtained from matching the taste of colors with Itten colors cycle. It was demonstrated that most people identify secondary colors as color tonality, and the taste of complementary colors is felt and distinguished according to the intensity of their constitutive primary colors. For the second time questions about the tonality of colors such as green, orange and purple were asked, and the result matched with the Itten color rules. It was concluded that as colors have a set of basic rules, these rules also apply to the taste of each color, and perception of the color of each taste has a significant impact on food packaging.","PeriodicalId":15727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Processing and Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81841016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
