This study aimed to investigate the effect of desalting processes on oxidative stability of JB. JB were submitted to five desalting procedures: immersion in water at room temperature for 12 h without changing the water (AT12); immersion in water at room temperature for 12 h followed by boiling for 30 min and changing the water between the two procedures (AT12 + C30); immersion in boiled water for 10, 20, and 30 min (C10, C20, and C30, respectively). The desalted JB samples were refrigerated (vacuum packed and stored at 1 ± 1°C) and analyzed at 0 and 60 days. The samples without desalting were used as a control group. AT12 samples had the lowest lipid oxidation (0.05 and 0.07 mg of MDA kg^-1, at T60 and T0, respectively). AT12 + C30 had the lowest NaCl content (2.8 and 3.3 g 100 g^-1, at T0 and T60, respectively). C10, C20, and C30 showed a lower level of total carbonyls (p < 0.05) (0.04-0.13 nmol mg^-1 protein), compared to control (0.53-0.93 nmol mg^-1 protein in T0 and T60, respectively). Only boiled, desalted meats showed the volatile compound benzaldehyde. Higher concentration of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and total unsaturated fatty acids in JB desalted only in boiling water (C10, C20, and C30), compared to control (p < 0.05). AT12 is the best process to use, with regards to lipid oxidative stability, hardness, and NaCl content. Therefore, we conclude that it is possible to offer commercially desalted JB, as a convenience ultraprocessed product. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Lipid oxidation is accelerated when desalting jerked beef (JB) with boiling water. Desalted JB in boiling water had detectable concentrations of benzaldehyde. •Desalting in water at 25°C/12 h resulted in JB with better oxidative stability.</p>","PeriodicalId":193,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142666562","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}

The purified trypsin (PTRP-HMS) had a purity of 30.4-fold, and a yield of 14.5% was obtained. PTRP-HMS had the molecular weight of 23.0 kDa as examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and only one isoform was detected by native-PAGE. Its optimal temperature and pH were 55°C and 8.5, respectively. TLCK almost completely inhibited the activity of trypsin. The PTRP-HMS had a Michaelis-Menten constant (K_m) and catalytic constant (K_cat) of 0.87 mM and 13.04 s^-1, respectively, toward Nα-benzoyl-l-arginine 4-nitroanilide hydrochloride. When chitooligosaccharide (COS) and COS-catechin (COS-CAT) conjugates were examined for inhibition toward the PTRP, the latter exhibited higher efficacy in inhibiting the trypsin. Both COS and COS-CAT conjugate showed mixed-type inhibition kinetics. As a consequence, COS and COS-CAT conjugate could be used as natural additives for inhibiting trypsin in whole HMS, thus retarding the softening and lengthening the shelf-life of HMS during the iced storage. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Harpiosquillid mantis shrimp (HMS) is of high demand due to its delicacy. However, its meat undergoes rapid softening within 2-3 days when stored in ice. Understanding causative proteolytic enzymes, especially trypsin from digestive tract, paves a way for preventing their negative impact on HMS eating quality. Employment of safe inhibitors, for example, chitooligosaccharide (COS) or COS conjugated with catechin, could inhibit HMS trypsin. Overall, softening of whole HMS containing trypsin in its digestive tract can be impeded, especially when treated with COS-CAT. This finding is beneficial for the HMS local vendor or exporter, in which HMS quality can be maintained.</p>","PeriodicalId":193,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142666509","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}

This review aims to provide a comprehensive discussion on C. vulgaris, evaluating its viability as a food substitute in the industry by exploring the nutritional value and application of C. vulgaris in the food industry. Rich in protein, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, Chlorella offers substantial nutritional benefits, positioning it as a valuable food substitute. Its applications in the food industry include incorporation into smoothies, snacks, and supplements, enhancing the nutritional profile of various food products. The health benefits of Chlorella encompass antioxidant activity, immune system support, and detoxification, contributing to overall well-being. Despite these advantages, the commercialization of Chlorella faces significant challenges. These include variability in antibacterial activity due to strain and growth conditions, high production costs, contamination risks, and sensory issues such as unpleasant taste and smell. Additionally, Chlorella can accumulate heavy metals from its environment, necessitating stringent quality control measures. Future prospects involve improving Chlorella strains through genetic manipulation to enhance nutrient content, developing cost-effective culture systems, and exploring advanced processing techniques like pulsed electric fields for better digestibility. Addressing sensory issues through flavor-masking strategies and employing environmental management practices will further support Chlorella's integration into the food industry.

To overcome these problems, a functional supplement powder was produced using the encapsulation technique of nanoliposomes containing shrimp lipid extract, fish oil (FO), and fish protein hydrolysate. Chitosan and whey protein concentrate (WPC) were used to coat the nanoliposomes in mono/bilayer and composite forms, followed by freeze-drying for 72 h. The physicochemical characteristics, nutritional, in vitro release, and sensory evaluation were investigated. The WPC-monolayer treatment exhibited the highest solubility (28.83 mg/100 g), encapsulation efficiency (97.67%), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Although the mono/bilayer treatments of whey protein showed lower docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid than FO, they presented a favorable amino acid profile. Compared to acidic stomach conditions, the release in the intestine was higher. Incorporating 1.5 g of the supplement powder per 100 g of milk can meet an individual's daily nutritional needs for essential amino acids and PUFAs.

In recent years, the surimi processing industry has faced challenges in product quality that limits the further development, and how to effectively improve the gel properties of surimi products has become one of the key scientific problems to be solved in surimi processing industry. A viable strategy for improving the product quality involves combining surimi with exogenous additives, such as proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids, to enhance the gel-forming ability of MP. At present, there is limited literature review to systematically investigate the role of these exogenous additives in interacting with MPs in surimi gel system and their effect on the gel properties of heat-induced surimi.

For example, during the Covid pandemic, submissions increased significantly as researchers cleared out their unpublished data. That was followed by a small dip in submissions last year, again related to the pandemic—perhaps due to a time lag between renewal of experimentation and publication.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are now out of that dip and have seen a startling increase in submissions over the past year, to the point where all of our editors are maxed out. Many of our Associate Editors (AEs) have over 10 manuscripts in their system at the moment, beyond anyone's expectations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For historical perspective, the table shows the submission trends since 2015. There was a general, slow increase and then a plateau between 2015 and 2019. During Covid, starting in 2020, everyone was writing up old research and new reviews as a means of keeping busy, so submissions trended upward. But then in 2022, we had a “Covid dip,” perhaps because researchers were once more getting back into the lab to generate data and not necessarily writing as much. The number of submissions rose last year, to 1941, about where we were in 2016. There was an average of five manuscripts submitted per day last year. As of September 5, this year, we already have 1952 submissions, with an average daily rate of 7.8. At this pace, we expect to see a record number of submissions, even above the Covid years. If submissions continue at this rate, we project over 2800 manuscript submissions this year.\u0000\u0000 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are scratching our head trying to understand what is driving this increase. It is not just us, though; many journals are seeing this increase. We hear that other publishers and journals are seeing an increase in submissions of 18%–20%. Our increase will likely be greater than that, maybe as much 35% over the 2023 submissions (and still 6% greater than our boom year in 2021).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of our contacts postulated that this spike could be the result of authors choosing to publish in journals long known to uphold high standards of research integrity, such as society journals. They stated that authors appear to be moving away from Frontiers, MDPI, the former Hindawi journals, and other born-OA publishers who were hit hard by paper mills, AI-generated, and poorly reviewed papers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What this boom has meant to us is that the entire editorial staff is overwhelmed.

Compared to WPC and EWP films, WPC/EWP composite film had higher transmittance, tensile strength (TS), and thermal stability. Fluorescence results showed that the film experienced fluorescence quenching after TG treatment. Fourier transform infrared and x-ray diffraction results showed that WPC and EWP had good compatibility in the biodegradable film, the hydrogen bond interaction of film was increased due to TG, resulting in an increase in TS. Meanwhile, the water vapor permeability and contact angle of WPC/EWP film treated with TG at 5 U/g protein increased by 28% and 76.1%, respectively. Besides, the WPC/EWP biodegradable film modified by TG (TG-W/E) was applied as a coating film on cherry tomatoes, effectively reducing the weight loss rate during storage from 14.2% to 10.8%. Furthermore, indexes, such as solid content, spoilage rate, hardness, pH, and lycopene, showed that the film had a good preservation effect on cherry tomatoes.
