Study 1 indicates that consumers feel stronger contagion effects when a source is placed on an expansive color rather than a contractive one. In addition, colors also show their mobile, dynamic, and diverse features. Study 2 shows that the transfer of a product’s quality might be reduced when the source is on a heavy color and the target is on a light color, resulting in stronger contagion effects for consumers. Moreover, Study 3 finds that bright colors lead to stronger positive contagion effects, while dark colors intensify negative contagion effects.

Despite being under investigation and discussed as a major or minor elicitor of food allergies, soybean remains a notable allergenic food source, affecting approximately 0.3%–3% of people worldwide, with a higher prevalence in Asian countries. Allergic reactions to soy can manifest as mild symptoms or progress to severe, life-threatening conditions such as anaphylaxis. Consequently, there is an urgent need for the specific detection of soy allergens in food to mitigate the risk of inadvertent exposure and associated allergic reactions. State-of-the-art methods for detecting food allergens include immunoassays utilizing either food source- or, ideally, allergen-specific antibodies, along with mass spectrometry for detecting specific protein-derived peptides. However, many commercially available immunoassays predominantly utilize polyclonal antibodies, which can confirm the presence of the entire food source but lack specificity for individual allergens. In response to this limitation, the aim is to develop specific monoclonal antibodies targeting individual soy allergens. These antibodies enable “component-resolved analysis” of food samples, aligning with the emerging trend of component-resolved diagnosis in allergy research. The generated monoclonal antibodies not only offer the ability to detect individual soy allergens in food and raw materials but also serve as valuable tools for quality and safety control of materials used in oral immunotherapy and allergy diagnosis. This improvement contributes significantly to aiding people with soy allergies and can be adapted for other food allergenic sources. This advancement represents a pivotal step toward enhancing the precision and comprehensiveness of allergen detection methodologies, addresses the specific challenges faced by individuals with soy allergies, and lays the foundation for broader applications to other food allergenic sources.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15951,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Quality","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/jfq/2340194","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142707872","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}

In addition, the fragility of the masa makes the tortillas brittle. The present work was initiated with the aim of determining the nixtamalization conditions that would improve the textural, rheological, and nutritional properties of masa. The response surface methodology, using the central composite design was applied to three factors including the ash content and cooking and soaking times, and the responses evaluated were the adhesiveness, cohesion, final viscosity, and gelatinization temperature of masa obtained from two varieties of maize (<i>Atp-Y</i> and <i>Kassaï</i>).

Various standards such as Food Safety, HACCP, GGAP YUM GAP, MacDonald’s GAP, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 are being implemented in Pakistan for decades. This study was designed to highlight the critical issues of Pakistani SMEs in adopting management systems, i.e., food safety management systems. Data from 107 SMEs from different fields (beverages, baking, meat, postharvest processing, etc.) of Pakistan were collected through a detailed questionnaire and fed to SPSS V 26.0 for statistical illustration and articulation of the results. In this study, SME company profiles were analyzed and showed that 43% had 6–20 employees, 78.5% were manufacturers, and 68.2% were in business for 7–15 years. The focus was on sales growth (35.5%), profit growth (38.3%), return on assets (42.1%), gross revenues (47.7%), net cash flow (46.7%), customer satisfaction (47.7%), and customer satisfaction relative to competitors (46.7%).

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) were utilized to disclose the phytochemical profile of the fruit extracts, which indicated a diverse range of bioactive compounds. Four polyphenolic compounds including chlorogenic acid, quercetin, rutin, and morin were confirmed by HPLC fingerprinting, with rutin being the most prevalent. Qualitative analysis reveals the presence of carbohydrates, emodin, terpenoids, lignin, glycosides, and anthraquinones, while indicating the absence of amino acids, anthocyanins, phlobatannins, lactones, and leucoanthocyanins. Quantitative analysis reveals total phenolic, tannin, and flavonoid. In vitro assessments demonstrate the ability of the extracts to inhibit alpha amylase.
