This peptide exhibited much stronger antimicrobial activity against <em>B. cereus</em> (gram-positive) than <em>E. coli</em> (gram-negative), which was mainly attributed to differences in bacterial membrane structure and composition. The thermal resistance of both pathogens was assessed in soymilk with and without &lt;10SPH by determining the D-values at 50, 55, and 60 °C. The antimicrobial activity of the peptides was found to be dependent on the surrounding food matrix, including pH, sucrose, and NaCl conditions. In particular, acidic conditions (pH 4) reduced the activity of the antimicrobial peptides against <em>E. coli</em>, whereas high salt concentrations (1–5 %) increased their activity. Thermal inactivation results showed that both <em>E. coli</em> and <em>B. cereus</em> in soymilk were slightly less resistant to heat after &lt;10SPH was added.

A total of 488 olive oil samples were analysed using three near-infrared (NIR) spectrometers—two portable devices and one benchtop instrument. Spectral data were processed using both qualitative and quantitative modelling approaches in an open-source environment to ensure transparency and reproducibility. Classification algorithms—partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and random forest (RF) classifier—were initially employed to detect fruitiness and sensory defects. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) models were subsequently used to predict the intensity of positive attributes: fruitiness, bitterness, and pungency. Model outputs enabled sample assignment to commercial categories. Classification models demonstrated strong performance in validation, achieving correct classification rates exceeding 94 % and 82 % for fruitiness and sensory defects, respectively. Quantitative predictions were moderate (residual predictive deviation for prediction, RPD<sub>p</sub>, between 1.12 and 1.57); however, a low-cost portable device performed comparably to the benchtop instrument, highlighting its potential for on-site quality control and broader accessibility for small and medium-sized producers.

The first method is an SSMD approach based on an improved double Blackman window function.

The results demonstrated that compared to the unpretreated samples, the RFDB pretreatment not only caused a reduction in moisture and relative enzyme activity during a short period of time, but also altered the moisture distribution, diminished moisture mobility, and provided a more uniform moisture distribution within the tiger nuts. The RFDB pretreatment significantly shorted the drying time of HD and RFHD by 7.78–22.22 % and 7.14–18.10 % respectively (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05), and reduced the energy consumption of RFHD and HD by 7.98–20.89 % and 6.58–17.65 %, respectively. Following RFDB pretreatment, the crystal structure and cellular structure integrity of tiger nuts were damaged, and the phenolic and flavonoid contents significantly increased. But the phenolic and flavonoid compounds were degraded due to temperatures of higher than 80 °C with 6–8 min of RFDB pretreatment times. These outcomes revealed the positive effects of proper RFDB pretreatment on the drying process of tiger nuts and may provide novel insights and technical support for improving the drying efficiency and product quality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":319,"journal":{"name":"Food Control","volume":"181 ","pages":"Article 111724"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145061219","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}
