Swartz) and kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var gongylodes L.) are medicinal plants widely distributed in Thailand. Several traditional medicines usually contain these extracts due to their pharmaceutical activities. However, appropriate technologies that are used for protection, stabilization, and slow release of plant extracts are a lot desired in terms of food application. In this study, chayote and kohlrabi extracts were encapsulated by several kinds of wall materials (maltodextrin, and the combination of maltodextrin and gum arabic or alginate) and drying methods (freeze-drying and tray-drying techniques). Thus, the objective of this research was to determine morphological and physicochemical properties, wall materials releasing, and antioxidant activity of encapsulated chayote and kohlrabi extracts powder. The morphology of all encapsulated chayote and kohlrabi extracts powder showed irregular spherical shape, monodispersity, and smooth surface. The encapsulated chayote and kohlrabi extracts powder with tray-drying technique tend to have more darkness and redness in color than the freeze-drying technique. Wall material releasing was expressed in glucose liberation of encapsulated extracts powder after amylolytic enzyme digestion. Encapsulation using maltodextrin as wall material provided higher wall material releasing than the other samples. After digestion analysis, the digested residues were examined for antioxidant activity. The results showed that the combination of maltodextrin and alginate for both freeze-drying and tray-drying techniques provided higher antioxidant activity after 60 and 120 min of digestion. Thus, the combination of maltodextrin and alginate, and drying with the freeze-drying technique was the best treatment in this experiment. This data can lead to a better understanding of wall materials types and releasing characteristics, which are used to control bioactive compounds liberation in the gastrointestinal tract.","PeriodicalId":15835,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Engineering","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87088224","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}

Results of this study revealed that besides water quality, the type of emitter, placement of laterals, and emitter position on laterals affected emitter's clogging. The major cause of clogging was associated with the precipitated substance accumulated at the emitter inlet concurrently close the micro-pore channels of the emitter, consequently reduce the emitter discharge. The major substances that took part in the clogging of emitter were EC, pH, HCO3, Turbidity, total solid, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and total coliform. It was observed that these substances (HCO3, Turbidity, total solid, E. coli, and total coliform) of groundwater and wastewater were categorized with a medium risk of clogging except for magnesium (low risk of clogging). Pressure compensating drip emitter showed better performance against clogging as compared to non-pressure compensating drip emitter. Sub-surface placement of drip emitter was more prone to clogging under both wastewater and groundwater. It was observed a significant (p ≤ 0.05) effect of lateral placement, emitter types, and the interaction between these factors on emitter's clogging under both types of water. Emitter flow rate decreased with the increasing time of operation of the drip systems at normal operating pressure, because of clogging of emitters. By flushing operation, it was observed a 3 to 5% higher flow rate in inline drip emitter than bioline (1-2%). The R2 value, which precisely describes the head-discharge relationship, was high (0.99) in most of the bioline treatments. This study also observed and recommended that pressure compensating emitter would be the most appropriate technique to reduce the clogging while using wastewater for irrigation. Flushing effectively controlled the emitter's clogging thus improved the emitter's water discharge rate.","PeriodicalId":15835,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Engineering","volume":"156 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73271858","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}

Parental compounds and their metabolites were assessed in the liver by chromatographic analysis, in addition to α-tocopherol and retinol in the blood serum. Both TAN and NOB supplements were able to reduce malonaldehyde (MDA) in the rat’s blood by 22% and 18%, respectively, but only NOB increased redox reaction by 3%. Blood levels of retinol and α-tocopherol increased under TAN by 59% and 20%, respectively, but were not affected by NOB. Eight NOB metabolites were detected in the liver, but only two TAN metabolites were identified in low concentration. In conclusion, NOB improved antioxidant capacity and reduced lipid peroxidation, while increased levels of retinol and α-tocopherol after TAN supplement may have contributed to decreased blood lipid peroxidation.","PeriodicalId":15835,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Engineering","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81291051","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}

After that, the LPAS spectra of all the rice samples were collected with a standard error of less than 2% of the measured value and a background signal negligible compared to the sample signals. All the experimental LPAS spectra resulted to be rich in spectral features showing clear differences between each other. The experimental spectra were then analyzed by comparison with the FT-IR transition frequency recorded in our laboratory to consent a proper assignment. Finally, to put in evidence the small differences among the various rice types, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to the recorded LPAS spectra highlighting five different groups corresponding to the five types of samples. In conclusion, the present work demonstrated the discriminating capability of LPAS technique in the case of different types of rice flour samples.","PeriodicalId":15835,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Engineering","volume":"107 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72898504","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}

This study was conducted to estimate genetic variability among nine durum wheat genotypes in response to drought. Our results indicated that the effect of the campaign, genotype, and genotype × interaction was significant for the thirteen variables measured, except for the relative water content. The variability observed was greater for grain yield, biomass, ear fertility, straw and economic yields, chlorophyll content, and cell integrity. Heritability was high for the number of grains per ear and the chlorophyll content; medium for thousand kernel weights, low for grain yield, biomass, and economic yield, and zero for the rest of the variables measured. The results also showed that the agro-morphological characters were significantly linked to each other, unlike the physiological characters which showed non-significant relation between them and with the agro-morphological characters. This suggests that among the varieties evaluated, the selection of those which are tolerant and with high yield potential should therefore be made on a case-by-case basis and not based on a specific physiological character, a marker of tolerance, highly correlated with yield grain. The nine varieties evaluated were subdivided into three divergent clusters of three varieties each. Cluster C1 consists of the least performing varieties, unlike the other two clusters which bring appreciable gains for several characteristics including grain yield, biomass, the weight of 1000 grains, straw yield, and ear fertility and a marked improvement in chlorophyll content and a significant reduction in damage to the cell membrane by thermal stress. In conclusion and following their divergence, it is suggested to use the varieties of clusters C2 and C3 in crossing with the varieties of cluster C1 to improve and reconcile stress tolerance and yield potential in the same genetic background.","PeriodicalId":15835,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Engineering","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91336134","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}

However, without the application of the metal data to reflect human wellbeing, it is considered the low impact on the society. In this study, the heavy metals in green mustard Brassica rapa var. parachinensis were collected from Sikamat (Negeri Sembilan in 2013), Kg. Sitiawan (Perak in 2016), and Ara Kuda (Penang in 2016) of Peninsular Malaysia, were determined. The samples are analyzed for the concentrations of Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn by using the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. For the leafy edible part, the metal concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) ranged from 16.1-18.5 for Cu, 145-207 for Fe, 1.02-1.64 for Ni, 0.90-2.73 for Pb, and 74.0-203 for Zn. These metal data were assessed for human health risks. It was found that all the values of target hazard quotients for Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn in both adults and children were less than 1.00. This exhibited there were no non-carcinogenic risks of the five metals through the intake of the Brassica from the present study. This could indicate that the accumulation of metals and pollution threshold is below the limit of causing hazardous effects to consumers. Nonetheless, regular assessment of health risks of heavy metals in this vegetable needs to be conducted from time to time these vegetables are prone to continuous heavy metal contamination.","PeriodicalId":15835,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Engineering","volume":"133 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86576314","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 changes of physico-chemical attributes like percent weight loss, percent juice yield, pH, Total Soluble Solids (TSS), percent fruit decay, acidity and vitamin C were observed for 18 days of storage. After observing results we found that in controlling percent weight loss, percent juice yield, percent fruit decay, pH and TSS, mustard oil +1.5% sodium alginate coatings showed the best results whereas soybean oil with 1.5% sodium alginate coating showed reverse results. Concerning to the results of preserving acidity and vitamin C, the 1.5% sodium alginate and the mustard oil with 1.5% sodium alginate were found as the most effective coatings on the other hand olive oil plus 1.5% sodium alginate coatings showed slight efficiency in controlling the postharvest quality loss. Though the coating of lemon with mustard oil +1.5% sodium alginate and only 1.5% sodium alginate showed significantly better results with respect to sensory evaluation, the former one eventually performed the best in retaining most of the quality parameters of the samples.
