The moisture, protein, ash, fat, and carbohydrate content of the CM was 6.46% ± 0.35%, 17.44% ± 0.62%, 11.49% ± 0.39%, 1.27% ± 0.10%, and 63.16% ± 0.58%, respectively. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy identified acidic (-COOH) functional groups in the CM. Four distinct cookie samples were examined: The control-cookie, 20% CM-cookie, 40% CM-cookie, and 60% CM-cookie were prepared by replacing shortening with CM at 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60% levels, respectively. The mucilage-incorporated doughs were softer, springy, cohesive, and resilient compared to the control dough (p < 0.05). As for the cookies, the fat content of the 20% CM-cookie, 40% CM-cookie, and 60% CM-cookie samples decreased by 12.52%, 31.49%, and 50.12%, respectively, compared to the control-cookie. The control-cookie had the lowest baking loss (p < 0.05), and the baking loss values of the mucilage-incorporated cookies increased with increasing fat replacement level.

The highest hardness and brittleness values (70.68 ± 3.37 N and 11.52 ± 0.34 mm) belonged to the 60% CM-cookie, whereas the lowest (19.42 ± 1.42 N and 8.80 ± 0.26 mm) belonged to the control-cookie (p < 0.05).

Aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> (AFB<sub>1</sub>), a prevalent foodborne mycotoxin, causes oxidative stress, inflammation, and liver injury. However, the role of functional components of mulberry leaf in AFB<sub>1</sub>-induced liver injury is still elusive. This study investigated the hepatoprotective potential of mulberry complex extract (MCE) and mulberry leaf polysaccharide (MLP) in a murine model of AFB1-induced liver injury. Twenty-four male mice were randomly divided into four groups, exposed to AFB<sub>1</sub> (0.75 mg/kg), and treated with MCE (500 mg/kg) or MLP (300 mg/kg) for four weeks. Both treatments significantly improved liver function and reduced hepatic oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, they markedly inhibited NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD-mediated hepatocyte pyroptosis. These benefits were associated with activation of the Nrf2 pathway, upregulation of antioxidant genes and phase II detoxification enzymes, restoration of intestinal barrier integrity, and modulation of gut microbiota to enhance short-chain fatty acid production. Notably, MCE and MLP interventions increased Nrf2 gene expression by 2.8- and 2.3-fold, respectively. This study provides new evidence supporting the hepatoprotective effects of mulberry leaf extracts against AFB<sub>1</sub>-induced toxicity. The findings highlight the potential of MCE and MLP as promising natural therapeutic agents for preventing or mitigating mycotoxin-related liver damage through modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, pyroptosis, and gut-liver axis interactions. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Based on this research, mulberry leaf extracts could be developed into dietary supplements or functional food ingredients to help protect the liver in people regularly exposed to aflatoxin-contaminated foods. Additionally, they show promise as natural additives in animal feed to reduce liver damage and improve the health of livestock consuming contaminated feedstuffs, potentially leading to safer animal products.</p>","PeriodicalId":193,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science","volume":"90 10","pages":"e70600"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145231200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chemometrics highlighted the presence of chemical clusters that distinguished the Piacenza variety from the others. These findings were also confirmed by the data fusion approach, which identified specific aldehydes, sulfur, and phenolic compounds as key discriminant molecules.

This study's objective was to explore the impact of genotype, location, and year on seed components and to identify the correlations between seed components and the firmness of tofu. Seventeen soybean genotypes were grown in replicated field trials in Mississippi, Virginia, and Missouri in 2017 and 2018. Tofu was made from soybean by filled and pressed methods. The major storage proteins' subunit composition, protein's secondary structures, phytic acid content, and Ca<sup>2+</sup> and Mg<sup>2+</sup> contents were determined. Results showed both environmental factors, which varied over years and locations, and genotypes had significant interactions (\"year × location × genotype,\" p ≤ 0.001) on seed components. Overall 2-year data demonstrated that the A<sub>3</sub> polypeptide quantitatively correlated with filled tofu firmness (FF) (r = 0.82, p ≤ 0.001) and with pressed tofu firmness (r = 0.83, p ≤ 0.001). In addition, overall data demonstrated that β-secondary structures (β-sheet + β-turn) positively correlated with the pressed and FF with r = 0.89 and 0.88, respectively. Within each trial, the genotype with higher A<sub>3</sub> polypeptide generally produced tofu with higher firmness; for instance, in the 2018 Missouri trial, MS-01 and MS-18 soybeans had 3.54% (high) and 1.93% (low) A<sub>3</sub> with firmness 141.57 (high) and 97 gf/cm<sup>2</sup> (low), respectively. For applications, A<sub>3</sub> polypeptide and β-secondary structures may be further developed into factors for selecting soybean genotypes for tofu production by the food industry or for breeders to develop new genotypes for improving tofu firmness. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This study investigates the relationships of chemical composition and tofu making of 17 soybean genotypes grown in three locations over 2 years. The results demonstrated that glycinin polypeptide A<sub>3</sub> and β-structures (β-sheet + β-turn) of soybean proteins correlated significantly with tofu firmness.

However, the absence of transparency in risk-based inspection methods limits cross-country learning and hinders the enhancement of food safety control. This study analyzed risk-based inspection methods employed in nine EU countries and Canada, combining expert interviews and document analysis. By identifying risk factors, risk categorization processes, and common challenges, our findings provide practical insights for developing and refining future risk-based methods. Our analysis reveals that inherent and compliance-related factors often serve as fundamental factors. However, mitigating factors and subjective factors, such as food safety culture, remain underutilized in practice. Two dominant risk categorization and inspection frequency assignment processes are summarized: a two-layer grouping process and a single-layer scoring process. The latter offers greater flexibility, enabling the integration of a broader range of risk factors.
