The total anthocyanin content (TAC), antioxidant activity (DPPH free radical and ferric reducing antioxidant power assays), pH, titratable acidity, syneresis, colour, and viable cell count were measured at 6 days intervals for 30 days at 4 °C storage. The TAC of yoghurt with blue pea flower anthocyanin extract demonstrated high stability, but the TAC of fermented milk with blue pea flower anthocyanin extract decreased significantly. The yoghurt and fermented milk with blue pea flower anthocyanin extract demonstrated higher antioxidant activity than the negative control and samples containing spirulina. The total colour change (ΔE) of yoghurt with blue pea flower anthocyanin extract was less than that of yoghurt containing spirulina during storage. However, the colour of fermented milk with blue pea flower anthocyanin extract was less stable than samples containing spirulina. The average colour acceptability of yoghurt and fermented milk containing 2% (w/v) blue pea flower anthocyanin extracts and those containing spirulina colourant was not significantly different. Therefore, an anthocyanin extract from blue pea flowers at 2% (w/v) concentration was a better blue colourant than spirulina in yoghurt. Spirulina was a better colourant compared to blue pea flower anthocyanins for fermented milk.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48594,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1878450X24000908/pdfft?md5=42054ea3250a7776ea2aacaae7e2835f&pid=1-s2.0-S1878450X24000908-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141135312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They can dictate which foods to buy and how to acquire, produce, and distribute them, favoring the production of meals based on sustainable nutrition. The study aimed to obtain an instrument to identify sustainability practices in school food services, covering the five dimensions of sustainable nutrition. The preliminary instrument's version underwent content validation and semantic evaluation. Reliability was assessed by evaluating 23 school food services for interobserver reproducibility and 148 for internal consistency in the Federal District and the State of Mato Grosso (Brazil). The instrument was composed of 76 items divided into 3 sections (1. Water, energy, and gas supply; 2. Menu and food waste; 3. Reduction of waste, construction materials, chemicals, employees and social sustainability). The instrument showed excellent results in content validation, semantic evaluation, and interobserver reproducibility (ICC = 0.949) and reasonable results for internal consistency (KR-20 = 0.660). Evaluating public and private school food services, they showed low sustainability scores in the general instrument (26.93 ± 4.87) and in all 3 sections (1 = 9.97 ± 1.67; 2 = 9.16 ± 2.54; 3 = 7.80 ± 2.39). Section 3 was the one in which school food services performed the worst. Some practices seem consolidated, such as employee attitudes towards reducing water and energy use, recycling cooking oil, offering vegetables and fruits regularly and encouraging diners to reduce waste. Public and private school food services in the Federal District had better results than those in the State of Mato Grosso (31.86 ± 4.63 <em>versus</em> 25.35 ± 3.76). The instrument has strengths, considering its excellent results for content validation, semantic evaluation, and interobserver reproducibility. For internal consistency, the result is believed to reflect the recent topic within school food services. The low performance of school food services points to the need for specific legislation on sustainability, greater planning and investments at the management level, and the execution and recording of activities at the operational level.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48594,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141132480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The music soundtracks were designed by combining two levels in each of three sonic attributes: Articulation (Legato, Staccato), Tempo (70 and 120 Bpm), and Pitch (Low, High). Overall, results showed that the variety in music attributes influences the orange juice about aroma, sweetness, sourness, bitterness, freshness, and thickness perceptions.

Burbot (<em>Lota maculosa</em>) has emerged as a promising candidate for such diversification. Nonetheless, a dearth of knowledge exists concerning their sensory characteristics and overall consumer acceptance. This study sought to investigate these crucial aspects, which are instrumental in assessing the market potential of this fish species. A consumer survey was conducted in Idaho from March through July 2017 to initially evaluate burbot's consumer acceptance and market potential. Results showed that over 96% of consumers liked the texture of burbot, 92% liked the flavor of the burbot, and 90% would try burbot again. Significant reasons for consumers' willingness to eat burbot included cooking preparation, tasty, mild flavor, excellent texture, and excellent flavor. Results from this indicate that burbot is a promising food fish candidate for commercialization. Based on these results, a follow-up panelists survey and sensory analysis were conducted in April 2019 to further investigate consumer acceptance and sensory properties of burbot when compared to other prominent aquaculture species (trout and tilapia). The three species exhibited different sensory profiles; however, burbot was ranked significantly higher for aroma, flavor, and taste. Conversely, panelists found tilapia and trout to be significantly (<em>P</em> < 0.05) firmer than burbot for firmness. The results from the sensory testing showed that 87% and 81% of panelists preferred burbot to tilapia and trout, respectively, and 79% would be willing to try this as a new species on the market. The distinct profiles of burbot indicate that this fish species would be highly marketable and if available would contribute to the diversification of U.S. commercial aquaculture by offering a delicate white fillet option to salmonids.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48594,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141052024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
