At all substitution levels, the chemical composition, rheological behavior, and sensory properties of the biscuits were evaluated. Black chia seed powder (CACH-B) contained higher levels of protein, fiber, minerals, phenolics, and antioxidants compared with white chia (CACH-W) and wheat flour. Both chia types exhibited favorable fatty acid profiles, with ω6/ω3 ratios close to 1:2. Chia incorporation enhanced the protein, fiber, and mineral contents of the biscuits, with CACH-B formulations providing greater nutritional improvement but showing slight sensory decline at higher substitution levels. Physical properties such as weight and volume decreased with chia addition, while pasting behavior showed increased viscosity due to chia mucilage. Incorporation of up to 15 % chia powder maintained acceptable product quality, highlighting its potential for health-oriented bakery applications. Overall, fortification with chia seed powder substantially improves the nutritional profile of biscuits, with minimal compromise on sensory acceptability, suggesting that moderate substitution (5–10 %) offers an optimal balance.

The combination of GSH-derived extracts with SO<sub>2</sub> enabled a 50 % reduction in required sulfite concentration while maintaining must stability.

A total of 72 and 63 volatile compounds were identified in Tempranillo and Chardonnay wines, respectively. SCC-treated wines exhibited greater losses of fermentative volatiles, particularly esters and higher alcohols, due to the sequential nature of the process and increased exposure to thermal and vacuum conditions. In contrast, GOLO-treated wines retained higher concentrations of varietal aroma compounds, including C<sub>6</sub> alcohols, benzenic compounds, and certain esters, likely due to the technique's single-stage, low-temperature operation and integrated aroma recovery. Sensory analysis supported these findings, showing that GOLO wines maintained higher intensities of fruity and floral descriptors, whereas SCC wines exhibited diminished aromatic complexity. Overall, the results demonstrate that while both SCC and GOLO are effective for ethanol reduction, GOLO offers superior preservation of aroma-active compounds and sensory quality, particularly in Chardonnay wines.

In this work, the structural remodeling of Gorgon Euryale starch (GES) induced by ball milling and the stabilization mechanism of Pickering emulsions co-constructed with xanthan gum (XG) were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses revealed that ball milling significantly remodeled GES granules. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra showed that ball milling reinforced the interactions between GES and XG, and the interfacial wettability and emulsion stability were improved significantly. Furthermore, Pickering emulsions were fabricated by compounding ball-milled GES with XG. Analyses using optical microscopy, nanoparticle size analyzer, rheometer, and texture analyzer showed that the synergistic effect of ball-milled GES and XG could significantly reduce the droplet size of emulsions, improve the emulsification index, and enhance shear stress, apparent viscosity, and textural properties. The GES-XG emulsion system showed the characteristic of anti-delamination, with the E195/5 emulsion maintaining uniformity over 14 days. Ball-milled GES formed a physical barrier at the oil-water interface, while XG stabilized through interfacial composite films and increased aqueous viscosity.

Starch-PA treatments were subjected to Ebeam energy (0–50 kGy), and products characterized for M<sub>W</sub> (size-exclusion chromatography/multi-angle light scattering detector), pasting properties (Rapid Visco Analyzer), granule integrity (X-ray diffraction and microscopy), and in vitro digestibility.
