It was demonstrated that MgCl2, MgSO4, and NaHCO3 could reduce the alcohol-stimulative taste of spirits and, at the same time, strengthen the hydrogen-bonding structure of water-ethanol in spirits. It was suggested the reduction of the alcohol-stimulative taste is related with a change of the hydrogen-bonding structure in spirits by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. These salts in spirits seem to be originated in water added to spirits before bottling. Some salts in water could affect the stimulative taste of ethanol in spirits.","PeriodicalId":345337,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Food Processing & Technology","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127171210","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}

Recent findings revealed that over 80% of the African population relies on medicinal plant species for their primary healthcare. Due to the unaffordability of conventional dugs, medicinal plants like sorghum stem sheath and moringa represent the key products for both urban and rural populations for their healthcare needs. These plants have found to have great therapeutic relevance for fighting major health problems. The research study investigated the proximate, vitamin C, mineral composition and organoleptic properties of sorghum stem sheath-moringa instant and infused drinks at ambient temperature. The result showed that minimal increases were observed in ash and vitamin C compositions of the enriched drinks with increased inclusion of moringa leaf extract. There was also a marginal increase in mineral contents not significantly improved in the enriched drink. The proximate compositions of the instant drinks were in the range of 0.079-0.232% (protein), 10.88-11.51% (carbohydrate), 0.005-0.008% (fat) and 0.25-0.28% (ash). The vitamin C contents of the infused drink ranged between 0.22 and 0.88 mg/100ml. Moreover, based on sensory evaluation, the sample with 15% moringa flour was most preferred in terms of all the sensory attributes evaluated by the panelists.

The role of microbial inoculants in plant growth promotion, nutrient management and disease control is very well studied. These beneficial microorganisms colonize the rhizosphere /endorhizosphere of plants and promote growth of the plants through various direct and indirect mechanisms. Microorganisms could play a significant role in this respect; if suitably exploit their unique properties of tolerance to extremities. It is therefore, very essential to explore the soil microbial diversity and the various modes of actions involved in direct and indirect plant growth promotion and develop consortium of two or more phyto-beneficial microbes to attain maximum benefits from microbial inoculation.

Nutritional genomics is the latest scientific discipline that uses modern genomics technology to study the relationship between genes, nutrition, and health. It explores the effects of nutrients on the entire genetic makeup (genome), proteome, and metabolome. Simply, nutrigenomic defines how the diet acts on genes and changes gene expression which is commonly prominent in cancer like non-communicable diseases. Nutrigenetics explains how the genes affect the diet which is generally notable in illnesses like phenylketonuria and lactose intolerance. Nutritional genetics combines the study of nutrition and genetics to discover the different ways people respond to food based on their genetic makeup. Even though humans are similar in genetics, we all have slight differences in our genetic blueprints due to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that make us unique from each other. These tiny variations determine both the effect nutrients have on our bodies and how we metabolize the food that we eat. Personalized nutrition connects this two-way relationship between nutrients and genes. This mini-review discusses the applications, advantages, and disadvantages, Sri Lankan context, and future trends of these emerging technologies. Furthermore, this review emphasizes how the consumed nutrients can affect our gene expressions as well as how our genes can influence response to these nutrients. This emerging field could be improved to enhance personalized diet consumption trends depending on individual genetic makeup and to develop innovative functional foods based on genetic patterns. Finally, the production of biomarkers could be applied in the future to predict early disease recognition and to mitigate disease risk.","PeriodicalId":345337,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Food Processing & Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116605265","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}

Among the factors relating to human life, human health is the most concerned issue. Each country is investing a significant amount of money in research and development to improve the human health. Besides having appropriate amount of nutrients, the most important aspect of food is the bioavailability of nutrients. Food item rich in natural antioxidants but not accessible to human body is wasteful. Thus, nanotechnology has shown great potential to improve the efficiency of delivery system of bioactive components to the human body. In this article, an effort has been made to discuss the applications of nanotechnology in the delivery of bioactive compounds to improve the human health. Today, the pharmaceutical companies have started the manufacturing of nutraceuticals to treat the number of anomalies in human body. The nutraceuticals are the food, carrying densely packed bioactive compounds. The bioactive compounds help to fight against number of noncommunicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. The action of bioactive compounds depends upon the extent of bio accessibility or bioavailability to the human body. In this context, nanotechnology play crucial role by manipulating bioactive compounds in the dimensions of 1-100 nm. The typical example of nano-delivery system is the liposomes, lipid vesicles, can incorporate variety of bioactive compounds in their interior. The exceptional capability of nanotechnology is paving a path of new technologies that may affect the human lives by various means.
