Rapid methods for independent verification of product quality and origin are desirable to support validation and traceability of such products. This study examined the use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to segregate raw milk from individual cows of multiple breeds from different herds fed on the same or differing feeding regimes, and to correlate and evaluate the efficacy of the predictions for crude protein and the milk fatty acid (FA) phenotypes for each of the herds. Reference values and near infrared spectra were obtained from representative freeze-dried raw milk samples (n = 220) collected from 847 lactating cows of 3 breeds from the Lincoln University dairy farm in New Zealand. The feed sources (i.e. pasture or pasture with lucerne silage) significantly influenced the protein and the FA values, and these differences were reflected in NIRS analyses. The partial least square regression models for crude protein determination showed excellent results, whereas for the most dominant FA, they were not appreciable. Maximum separation was obtained between the herds on the same feeding regime (mean specificity = 95.2%) using the partial least square discriminant analysis, and its overall performance in differentiating the objects was better than that of the soft independent modelling of class analogy. The multiclass analyses conducted in this study offer improvements to current approaches for evaluating and validating raw milk for the manufacture of specific dairy products, and for enhancing product traceability.","PeriodicalId":20868,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43112060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we evaluated the effect of treatment with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on the quality of stored peaches depending on shelf-life temperature. Ethylene production and aroma content were determined using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Polyphenol levels were monitored using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the antioxidant capacity of peach samples was determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2?-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. We found that treatment with 1-MCP could delay the ripening process and reduce the decay of peach fruit depending upon shelf-life temperature. Furthermore, treatment with 1-MCP efficiently delayed climacteric ethylene production, maintained high levels of total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity and characteristic lactones, including ?-decalactone, ?-decalactone, ?-octalatone, jasmine lactone and ? dodecalactone. Moreover, treatment with 1-MCP also helped maintain high levels of chlorogenic acid, L epicatechin, catechin, quercetin-3-rutinoside and neochlorogenic acid, as well as high antioxidant activity. Principal component analysis showed that treatment with 1-MCP during the second week of storage coincided with activity of lactones, poly-phenols and antioxidants, which was consistent with changes in phytochemicals. These results revealed that treatment with 1-MCP offers potential as a preservation strategy for maintaining the flavour and nutritional quality of peach fruit under shelf-life conditions.","PeriodicalId":20868,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":"12 1","pages":"100-109"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48881052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A rapid and accurate evaluation of seed vigour is very important for agricultural production. Ca is an important secondary messenger in plants, responding to various biotic and abiotic stimuli by Ca flux into cytoplasm. To the best of our knowledge, however, no report has been published about seed vigour and Ca influx. In this study, we used two hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) lines and their corresponding female parent lines as materials, and performed ageing and ‘ageing + priming’ treatments to obtain seeds with different vigour levels. After seeds were imbibed for 24 h, the intact seeds or embryos were used as materials for determining the Ca influx rate using non-invasive micro-test technique (NMT). Results showed that, with the intact embryos as materials, the Ca influx rate showed higher stability and higher values. Correlation analysis indicated that there was a significant, positive linear correlation between the shoot dry weight vigour index and Ca flux rate into embryo. The results demonstrated that the Ca influx rate can be used to evaluate the vigour levels of maize seeds.","PeriodicalId":20868,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42214633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistical analysis of the physicochemical and functional properties data revealed a significant (P < 0.05) difference among the three starch types. Starch of DHP cultivar showed low amylose content, smooth and round particle morphology, with obvious polarised crosses. The average particle size of the three adzuki bean types was in the range of 35.58–43.29 μm, with that of DHP being the smallest, 35.58 μm. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that all the starches were type A with reflections (2θ) at 15.0°, 17.03° and 23.3°. The bands of Fourier transforms infrared spectra of the three starches revealed their carbohydrate properties, and the intensity of the Fourier spectral absorption band of starch from DHP was weaker than that of the other cultivars. Further, the relative crystallinity of the three starches ranged from 22.7 to 29.4%, and DHP showed the highest crystallinity of 29.4%. Additionally, starch of the DHP cultivar revealed high gelatinisation, peak viscosity and enthalpy as compared to those from the other two adzuki bean cultivars. The shear viscosity of the three starch types decreased with increasing shear rate; when the shear rate was 10 s, the shear viscosity of the DHP-derived starch significantly decreased. Moreover, both the modulus (G’) and the loss modulus (G’’) increased with increasing dynamic frequency, and the DHP-derived starch showed the lowest G’ and G’’ values. In summary, this work provides data that may help in promoting the application of starches isolated from red adzuki bean in the food industry.","PeriodicalId":20868,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45573873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study quantified the losses of two different micronutrients (iron and vitamin A) in fortified pasta post processing and during storage for 4 months. Chemical salts of iron, namely, ferric sodium ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (NaFeEDTA) and ferrous sulphate (FeSO4), were added to pasta formulation at 4,5,6 mg/100g and 6,7,8 mg/100g respectively, whereas for vitamin A, retinyl acetate (RA) was added at 700, 800 and 900 µg/100g. After processing, the prepared pasta with both iron salts showed retention of 94–95% for iron and 90 92% of vitamin A activity. Iron and vitamin A-fortified pasta with maximum retention during processing and exhibiting optimum colour attributes and sensory score were stored alone and in combination (NaFeEDTA and RA) at 25 and 40 °C in laminates (aluminium laminates) and polypropylene packets for a period of 4 months and evaluated for changes in their iron and vitamin A contents. An overall retention of 93–95% of the iron and 56–62 % of vitamin A was observed after 4 months considering losses during processing and storage. Variations in temperature had a non-significant effect on the stability of iron, whereas for vitamin A a loss of 33–37% was noted for pasta stored at accelerated temperature of 40 °C. Among the two packaging materials used, laminates retained more of iron and vitamin A activity than polypropylene. No difference in retention rates was observed for iron and vitamin A when fortified alone or in combination.","PeriodicalId":20868,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49408309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, germplasm consisting of the cultivated species (C111, with a white seed coat), the wild species (Glaucus and lanatus with a black seed coat; Azar with a brown seed coat), and a breeding line (A82 with a black seed coat) was formed. After cultivating the genotypes, the seed loss (%) and its relationship with the polyphenolic compounds and Cyanidin-3-glucoside of the seed coat extract were examined. Agricultural and phytochemical trait data were analyzed through a completely random block design. With a significant difference from other samples, a minimum damage percentage was observed in Lanatus, Glaucus, and A82 genotypes with a black coat (P < 0.05). The concentration of phenolic compounds, that is, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and p-coumaric acid, except for ferulic acid, was almost equal in all genotypes. However, there was an inverse and direct relationship between the concentration of four polyphenolic compounds (rutin, apigenin, quercetin, and ferulic acid) and Cyd-3-glu content with resistance safflower fly, respectively. In general, flavonoid compounds, that is, rutin, quercetin, and apigenin, affect the resistance probably through antibiosis mechanism so that there was a negative relationship between the concentration of these compounds and resistance to safflower fly.","PeriodicalId":20868,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46898625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research on objective quality of functional foods mostly came from the field of food science, and therefore applicable only to certain foods. Studies from the field of consumer behaviour/management mostly focused on perceived quality. This study used journals from three databases and utilised the term ‘functional food’ as the main keyword. Articles gathered were filtered based on their types and contents. There are two categories of objective quality found in literature. Firstly, objective quality related to the process, and secondly, objective quality related to the product itself. Both types are required to make accurate and marketable health claims of functional foods.

The flaxseed was a complex mixture mainly consisting of flaxseed oil, flaxseed protein, dietary fibre (including cellulose and flaxseed gum), carbohydrates and secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). To investigate the effects of expanded flaxseed meal (EFM) intervention on the hypoglycaemic and lipid-lowering functions of rats on a high-fat, high-sugar (HFHS) diet, EFM was fed to six groups (z = 8) of Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats: normal control, HFHS model, positive treatment control, and low-, medium-, and high-dose EFM (5%, 10% and 20% mass fraction EFM, respectively) groups. The results (8 weeks later) were as follows: (1) mediumand high-dose EFM achieved similar inhibitive effects on blood glucose levels compared with positive treatment (5.94±0.32 mmol/L); (2) all EFM doses significantly reduced total cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the blood plasma of SD rats and (3) EFM significantly increased glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, increased glutathione levels, and reduced the malondialdehyde content in the plasma of SD rats (P < 0.05). Therefore, EFM mitigated the adverse effects produced by HFHS diet on physiological functions, effectively regulated blood glucose and lipid metabolism, enhanced plasma antioxidant capacity and alleviated oxidative stress in SD rats with a certain dose–effect relationship among the EFM dose groups. Hepatic histological morphologies indicated that EFM also improved the size and density of lipid droplets in the liver of the rats and inhibited the onset of fatty liver. These results suggest that EFM is a potentially useful raw material in the development of blood glucose and lipid-lowering food products.","PeriodicalId":20868,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":" ","pages":"40-49"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47849809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
