This study comparatively evaluated the quality characteristics of fish soups derived from three freshwater fish species and three seawater fish species using multi-omics analysis. The primary aroma characteristics of fish soup were meaty and greasy, closely associated with the oxidation of lipids, particularly unsaturated triglycerides. Compared to freshwater fish soup, seawater fish soup exhibited a higher degree of lipid unsaturation, with significantly elevated levels of highly unsaturated lipids. Umami, the predominant taste profile of fish soup, likely resulted from the synergistic umami-enhancing effect of amino acids (Glu and Asp) and 5′-nucleotides (IMP, AMP, and GMP). The high taurine content in fish soup makes it an excellent dietary supplement. Notably, the 5′-nucleotide content in fish soup is substantial and should be consumed in moderation by individuals with elevated uric acid levels.","PeriodicalId":318,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model was validated with training and testing sets and 100 % correct assignment was achieved.

After 48 h of fermentation, fucoidan significantly reduced the pH value in the broth, accompanied by an increase in total short-chain fatty acids, acetic acid, and propanoic acid contents. Fucoidan significantly reduced the relative abundance of <em>Escherichia_shigella</em> and <em>Blebsiella</em> and increased the relative abundance of <em>Bifidobacterium</em> and <em>Lactobacillus</em>.

Quality parameters were measured at drying temperatures of 55 °C, 60 °C, and 65 °C. A deep learning model (CNN_BiLSTM_SE) was developed, incorporating a convolutioyounal neural network (CNN), bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), and a squeeze-and-excitation (SE) attention mechanism. The performance of PLSR, SVR, and CNN_BiLSTM_SE was compared using different preprocessing methods (MSC, Baseline, and MSC_1st). The CNN_BiLSTM_SE model, optimized for hyperparameters, outperforms PLSR and SVR in predicting jujube quality attributes. Subsequently, these best prediction models were used to predict quality attributes at the pixel level for jujube, enabling the visualization of the Spatio-temporal distribution of these parameters at different drying stages.","PeriodicalId":318,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142599863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis identified 6951 non-volatile metabolites, including 107 marker metabolites, primarily in flavonoid synthesis and degradation pathways. Fermentation increased sweetness and richness by enhancing sugars and amino acid content, while significantly reducing flavonoid levels. Reddening improved flavor, color, and retained more beneficial flavonoids. Volatile analysis detected over 1800 compounds, including 398 volatile marker metabolites. Fermentation increased alcohols and heterocyclic compounds, reducing hydrocarbons and ketones. Additionally, 26 camphoraceous and 12 pungent aroma compounds characteristic of hawk tea were identified, and an aroma-flavor correlation map was established. By elucidating the impact of processing methods on its chemical and sensory properties, this study lays the groundwork for targeted quality control of hawk tea.","PeriodicalId":318,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that 53 % of the protein counts identified in the gastric digesta, including β-lactoglobulin and lactoferrin were stable under simulated gastric conditions. However, most proteins were degraded during both in vitro and in vivo intestinal digestion. The intact protein survival profiles were closely aligned between in vitro and in vivo digestion samples. Understanding the survival of specific whey proteins during digestion will help determine their biological relevancy in their intact forms within the gastrointestinal tract and may inspire strategies to enhance their stability for specific functions.","PeriodicalId":318,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that ultrasound mainly changed the pore structure of shiitake mushrooms in the range of 5000–50,000 nm, and the total pore volume of shiitake mushrooms was the largest when the ultrasound amplitude was 70 %. In flavor analysis, 9 volatiles and 7 non-volatiles significantly contributed to flavor differences in shiitake mushroom soup, characterized by increased aroma, umami, and saltiness, along with decreased sourness and astringency.

Alkaline treatment at pH 8.5 significantly enhanced AS-P recovery yield (77.60 %) and protein concentration (421.16 μg/mL), attributed to the increased solubility and effective removal of non-protein components. Sonication for 10 min exhibited the highest protein solubility (88.69 %) post-fractionation, indicating reduced protein aggregation. Fractionation was crucial in minimizing browning reactions and enhancing protein purity by eliminating oligosaccharides and impurities. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed distinct protein bands from alkaline treatment, while sonication resulted in lipoxygenase (LOX) protein degradation. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) emphasized that fractionation notably enhances the stability and quality of AS-P, making it as a viable ingredient for food applications.","PeriodicalId":318,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
