This study transformed ultra-heat treatment (UHT) milk into cheese through cheddaring. Tomato paste was added at 5 g/L, 10 g/L, and 15 g/L during the first curd formation, together with calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ). The type of rennet (animal and microbial) was varied at 0.25 ml/L of milk. Ripening was done in one month at 4°C. According to this study, animal rennet formed curd better than microbial rennet. The addition of tomato paste slightly decreases the curd formation, with approximately 0.37 % reduction per 5 gram of tomato paste. Increasing tomato paste to 15 g/L would increase lycopene to 0.993 – 0.996 mg/100 g. The cheese produced was categorized as extra-hard and low-fat based on the percentage of Moisture Non-Fat Basis (MNFS) and Fat on Dry Matter (FDM). The addition of tomato paste reduced the pH value, resulting in increased firmness and hardness and decreased chewiness and springiness.","PeriodicalId":52713,"journal":{"name":"Food ScienTech Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46662608","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}

Pretreatment methods are used to condition the tissue of vegetables for dehydration to reduce its effect on the structural integrity of the products. In this study, we investigated the effect of ohmic blanching as a pretreatment method and compared it with water blanching and microwave blanching. The Peleg model was used to evaluate the rehydration properties through regression analysis. The model was satisfactorily fitted with the data. However, there was a model deviation with water-blanched potato and yam. Dehydrated products pretreated by ohmic blanching compared favorably with microwave-blanching in carrots, potatoes, and yams. The RC ranged between 264.04% to 449%, 141.40% to 274.32%, and 70.46% to 155.54% in ohmic-blanched carrots, potatoes, and yams respectively. The application of ohmic blanching in the pretreatment of vegetables showed the potential of producing dehydrated products with better rehydration properties. We have suggested through this study, an improved method of hot air dehydration which was of lower cost compared to freeze-drying. The design and model of a bench-top ohmic heating device provided a portable, simple, and low-cost alternative to the otherwise more capital-intensive equipment designs.","PeriodicalId":52713,"journal":{"name":"Food ScienTech Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45540006","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}

As a result, this study sought to quantify the amounts of phytochemicals, heavy metals, and antioxidant vitamins in tomatoes grown close to the Cement Company of Northern Nigeria (Sokoto Cement). Phytochemicals, heavy metals, and antioxidant vitamins were determined using standard analytical procedures. The study confirmed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids tannins, steroids, and volatile oils. The heavy metals detected (Cu, Zn, Cd and Cr) were found below the WHO safe limits guidelines apart from Cr which exceed WHO safe limit guidelines.

Other nanomaterials, on the other hand, can also be integrated into packaging. Metal oxide nanoparticles have been added to petroleum-based and biopolymers to produce nanocomposites with improved mechanical, barrier, antioxidants and antimicrobial properties. Nanoparticles migration from packaging, on the other hand, is a source of concern due to their potential toxicity in the human body and the environment. The purpose of this article therefore, was to review the available literature on the utilization of metal oxide-based nanoparticles to produce nanocomposites for food packaging application. Advantages of incorporating metal oxide-based nanoparticles into polymers, as well as migration of these nanomaterials from packaging into foods are discussed. Incorporation of metal oxide nanoparticles into polymers allows for the production of nanocomposites with increased mechanical strength, water and oxygen barrier properties, and can also confer other additional functional properties, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial activity and light-blocking properties. According to migration studies, only a small quantity of nanomaterial migrates from packaging into food simulants or foods, implying that consumer exposure to these nanomaterials and the health concerns associated with them are low. Nonetheless, there is a scarcity of information on the migration of nanomaterials from packaging into actual foods, and more research is desperately needed in this area. This manuscript is useful in the food industries as it indicates the applicability and potential of the oxide-based nanocomposites as a promising approach for use in food packaging applications.","PeriodicalId":52713,"journal":{"name":"Food ScienTech Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42449279","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}

The starters should also maintain functionality when stored at ambient conditions, especially where erratic power supply makes constant refrigeration unachievable. This study evaluated the survival of Lactobacillus plantarum MNC 21 starter culture air-dried (at 25 or 30°C) in sorghum flour and stored at 25°C for 30 days. Two sorghum varieties (malted and un-malted) were used. To determine their fermentation efficiency during storage, sterile sorghum malt slurries were inoculated with the dried culture and fermented at 30°C for 24 h. Acidification potential was determined at 5 days intervals by measuring microbial counts, pH and titratable acidity. Microbial concentrations dropped from 8-9 log cfu/g on day 0 to 1 log cfu/g on day 30. Sorghum variety and whether it was malted or un-malted did not affect culture survival. Culture dried at 25 C had better survival during the first 10 days (8-9 log cfu/g) than that dried at 30 C (8 log cfu/g) but survival between days 20-30 was similar (1-4 log cfu/g). The acidification potential (ability to reduce pH to ≤4.5) decreased with storage time: 4 h (day 0), 24 h (day 15), > 24 h (day 20) to no acidification (days 25-30). Air drying of starter cultures in sorghum flours coupled with storage at ambient temperatures could be adopted as a short-term preservation method.
