This study investigated the techno-functional gelling mechanism and rheological properties of gelatin waste gel with added carrageenan, aiming to enhance the gel’s potential for future functional food applications. Gelatin capsule waste (GCW) was substituted with carrageenan at different levels (0 %, 10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 %, or 50 % w/w). The texture profile analysis and gel strength increased with the addition of carrageenan, accompanied by changes in the spectra obtained from Synchrotron Radiation-based Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (SR-FTIR), which identified intermolecular and intramolecular interactions between the gelatin and carrageenan. The rheological measurements revealed that the incorporation of carrageenan influenced the elastic modulus (G’) and loss modulus (G’’) of the substituted GCW gel, as observed from the temperature sweep, which coincided with the higher gelling and melting temperatures (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05). The substituted GCW gels had a higher turbidity than the GCW gel without substitution, as confirmed by a decreased L* value. The water activity of the GCW gel remained stable with the addition of carrageenan. Based on the gel microstructure, the GCW gel had a looser gel network with larger voids, whereas the substituted gels had a finer network with smaller voids. However, there was a decrease in the overall likeness score for the gels substituted with carrageenan, especially at higher levels. In summary, the incorporation of carrageenan into GCW gel significantly influenced its rheological and textural properties.

This study aimed to address this gap by identifying the most preferred combination of MCT oil attributes using a conjoint analysis approach. Key attributes considered were price, packaging material, certification type, product form, sourcing location, flavor, and consumption method. A conjoint analysis with an orthogonal design was conducted using SPSS version 27 to evaluate consumer preferences across these attributes. Results indicated that price and packaging material were the most influential factors in consumer choice, followed by certification type and product form. Attributes such as sourcing location and flavor ranked lower in importance, suggesting a consumer preference for cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and health assurances over sensory characteristics. The findings have practical implications for MCT oil producers and marketers by providing insight into consumer priorities, enabling them to design products that align more closely with these preferences. Practical contributions include recommendations for product differentiation through strategic pricing, sustainable packaging, and organic certification.

However, the continuous application of MW energy causes excessive localized heating, resulting in the deterioration of food quality. Although intermittent microwave convective drying (IMCD) is recognized as an advanced drying technology that addresses the limitations of conventional microwave, convective, and combined microwave convective drying methods, its practical application remains limited. Notably, there is inadequate research on the use of IMCD for fish drying. This study addresses this critical gap by investigating the effects of microwave intermittency on drying kinetics, energy consumption, and key quality attributes of fish, including shrinkage, rehydration capacity and visual appearance. Convective drying (CD), microwave convective drying (CMW) drying and IMCD, was conducted to compare the drying kinetics energy consumption and quality of dried fish fillet. It was found that IMCD took only 12 min to complete the drying process, whereas CD took approximately 300 min. IMCD provided achieved better, dried fish samples achieved superior quality, drying time was reduced by 90 % and energy consumption was reduced by 20 % in comparison with convective drying. Moreover, pattern of shrinkage, changes of colour, uniformity of colour, rehydration capasity are found better in the IMCD dried fish sample. These findings clearly establish IMCD as the best drying method for fish drying particularly at industry level. MW drying takes around 10–20 times less time than convective drying to remove the same quantity of moisture. IMCD exhibits an exergy efficiency of 23.84 %, which is higher than convective drying (14.99 %) and closer to CMW drying (21.45 %). This indicates that IMCD has a more efficient utilization of energy for useful work output. The appearance and protein content properties of the IMCD dried fish fillet appeared better than those of CD and CMW dried samples. Furthermore, the least shrinkage and superior rehydration capacity were observed in IMCD dried samples. This study also identifies the need for further optimization and integration of real-time monitoring technologies to enhance energy efficiency and product quality, highlighting the broader industrial relevance and future development potential of IMCD in fish drying applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34474,"journal":{"name":"Future Foods","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100717"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144662843","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}

However, their nutritional quality poses many challenges to achieving balanced diet. Reformulating bakery products to make them healthier could therefore have significant benefits. In recent year, mealworm (MW), <em>Tenebrio molitor</em>, one of the approved edible insects, has gained much attention as promising sustainable functional ingredient, since its high nutritional value and environmental benefits. Therefore, incorporation of MW into bakery products confers interesting opportunities to reformulate bakery products, making them more affordable, sustainable, and healthier. This review aims to provide overview of the nutritional value of MW and conclude current advances in its potential as a functional ingredient in bakery product development. MW is rich source of protein (29.20 % - 64.34 %, w/w), oil (14.875 – 39.60 %, w/w), and minerals, and has been used as wheat flour substitution in various bakery products. Additionally, its incorporation in bakery products improve their nutritional quality, but alter the physical and sensory properties of the final products.
