Mushroom was selected as a low acid food which is conventionally subjected to low-acid food conventional thermal processing (LACP) (pH > 4.6). Glass jars were used as containers. LACP was established to target a commercial sterilization process (F<sub>o</sub> value of 5.0 min at 121.1 °C), while ALTP was established to get an equivalent pasteurization process (F<sub>o</sub> value of 10.0 min at 90 °C). Heat penetration data was obtained to establish the above targeted processes and to assess the influence of processing conditions on the heating rate index and heating lag factor. Once processed, the associated quality parameters were evaluated and compared. Process variables included three processing temperatures (115, 120, 125 °C for LACP and 90, 95 and 100 °C for ALTP) and three RATP conditions (0, 1.0 and 2.0 Hz agitation). The results revealed higher rates of heat penetration and lower processing times for both LACP and ALTP processes as the reciprocation frequency increased. Quality retention advantages were realized as the process temperature was increased in each case. The best advantage was delivered with ALTP. Although the rate of heat transfer was the highest at 2.0 Hz, the best quality was observed at a moderate agitation frequency (1.0 Hz) as product texture breakdown was avoided.

In addition, the methodology evaluated the impacts of pH and PE/LDL mass ratio on the microstructure, physicochemical properties, and stability of the prepared emulsions and their corresponding oleogels. The PE/LDL complex-based emulsions exhibited small droplet size (9.95 and 9.67 μm), pronounced gel-like structure, and high viscosity and stability at optimum pH (6.0) and PE/LDL ratio (1:5), respectively. FTIR results emphasized that electrostatic interactions played more significant roles than hydrogen bonding in the interactions between the carboxyl group of PE and the amino group of LDL. Besides, the oleogels, based on LDL/PE-stabilized emulsions, showed a unique crystal structure and moderate rheological and textural properties, resulting in an increased oil-binding capacity of 83.74%. In conclusion, the unique aspect of this study was the combination of these biopolymers, which could have great potential for creating oleogels from edible oils using an emulsion-templated method.

In particular, wooden breast (WB) abnormality causes abrupt changes in meat quality and enormous economic losses. Thus, the poultry processing industry requires a reliable method to detect the abnormality in production lines in a non-destructive and contactless way. The present research aimed to evaluate the effect of WB on dielectric properties to develop a potential online technique to distinguish unaffected from affected breasts. Sixty-five <em>pectoralis major</em> muscles were picked 3 h post-mortem from the same flock (42-day-old broilers, 2.8 kg average live weight) and classified by visual inspection according to their phenotype as normal (N, not showing not any signs of the WB condition; n = 33) or WB (exhibiting extensive hardened areas and stiffness perceived by manual palpation throughout the entire fillet; n = 32). WB muscles exhibited remarkably higher values of dielectric constant and loss factor in a wide range of the explored frequencies (200 MHz–14 GHz), suggesting higher water mobility and a higher solvate capacity; this makes the electromagnetic technique for classification promising. Based on the above evidence, a rapid microwave electric technique in the range 1.5 GHz–3 GHz was developed for the online detection of WB.
