This study assessed the effects of smoking methods and natural spices on studied parameters and consumer acceptance of smoked silver catfish (Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>One hundred samples of silver catfish were obtained by purposive sampling method. The fresh fish samples were smoked in two batches, the first batch was smoked with drum smoker and the second batch with oven smoker while the control was smoked without the natural spices. Rancidity indices (TVB-N, TMA-N, TBA and pH), microbiological analysis and sensory evaluation were carried out on smoked fish samples. The recent patents on edible fat blends (US20020031595A1), long chain fatty acids (WO2008085840A2) and esters of polyunsaturated fatty acids (US20090023808A1) helped in selecting the analytical methods.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The results showed that there was statistical significant difference (P≤0.05) between total volatile base-nitrogen, trimethylamine values and pH of the smoked silver catfish samples treated with different concentrations of clove, ginger and garlic paste and those samples which were not treated with clove, ginger and garlic. This study showed that smoking methods has effects on quality indices, microbial quality and consumer acceptance of smoked silver catfish. Clove, ginger and garlic have some anti-oxidative effects on rancidity indices of smoked silver catfish as there was inverse relationship between clove, ginger and garlic and values of peroxide, free fatty acid and thiobarbituric acid. This was also observed for the microbial quality of the smoked silver catfish. There was also inverse relationship between clove, ginger and garlic and all the sensory parameters except for texture and as the concentrations of the natural spices increase the values of the sensory parameters decrease.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In conclusion, this study showed that smoking methods affects the studied parameters, microbial quality and consumer acceptance of smoked silver catfish. Addition of clove, ginger and garlic had anti-microbial and anti-oxidative effects on quality parameters of smoked silver catfish. There was also a negative correlation between clove, ginger and garlic and all the sensory parameters except for texture.</p>","PeriodicalId":21061,"journal":{"name":"Recent patents on food, nutrition & agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2174/2212798410666181120124012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36689488","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 use of nanocellulose is an innovative food packaging trend. DISCUSSION This paper presents an overview and discusses the state of the art of different nanocellulose materials used in food and food packaging, and identifies important patents related to them. It is important to consider that before marketing, new products must be proven safe for consumers and the environment. CONCLUSION Several packaging materials using nanocellulose have been developed and shown to be promising for use as active and intelligent materials for food packaging. Other nanocellulose products are under investigation for packaging and may enter the market in the near future. Many countries have been adjusting their regulatory frameworks to deal with nanotechnologies, including nanocellulose packaging.","PeriodicalId":21061,"journal":{"name":"Recent patents on food, nutrition & agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73692871","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 recent patents on steviol glycoside (WO2015014969A1), steviol glycoside compositions for oral ingestion or use (WO2017095932A1) and sweetener composition for preventing and improving obesity, containing glycolysis inhibitor ingredient (EP2756764B1) help to select the sweetener for development of coconut jelly.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>Therefore, the purposes of this study were to develop a healthier coconut jelly formula by using stevia as a natural sweetener as well as to investigate the short-term effects of Modified Coconut Jelly (MCJ) compared to Control Formula (CCJ) consumption on glycemic and insulin responses in twelve healthy participants.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The sensory evaluation found that MCJ with 50% sugar replacement using stevia obtained the highest acceptability score compared to other formulas.
