The application of nanomaterials in the food industry relates to production, packaging, fabrication, storage, and distribution and includes nanotubes, nanocomposites, nanocapsules, nanoemulsions, and nanoencapsulations. Although many research reports have been published, there are still some issues regarding nanotoxicology and its long-term impact on human health. Despite the enormous benefits of nanotechnology in food processing, health and nutrient concerns should also be taken care of for its wider acceptance and improvement. The primary concern related to nanomaterials is their tiny size, which may lead to have different physicochemical properties compared to their macro-counterparts. The wide use of nanomaterials in the food industry with the research on their effects on human health has created enormous pressure on scientists to determine the possible health effects due to the consumption of nanomaterials in food or products from the food industry. The European chemicals legislation has developed guidelines in their country on multiple regulatory issues including the safety use of nanomaterials, to resolve toxicity issues and guidance to measure nanomaterials. The present review presents a summated representation of the topics relating to nanomaterials including synthesis, their use in the food industry, human health, and environmental risk assessment with more focus on the positive aspects of food processing, packaging and preservation. The present review containing data, explanations and compilation on different types of nanomaterials, their wide application in various sectors of the food industry and their effects on health along with non-toxic effects will significantly contribute to finding the resolutions for future research in this field.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":549,"journal":{"name":"European Food Research and Technology","volume":"251 5","pages":"861 - 875"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the contribution of sourdough fermentation to reduce starch digestibility and FODMAP levels in bread and pasta produced from the same durum wheat flour. The study employed a commercial sourdough starter culture composed of homofermentative and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria but the quantification of acetic and lactic acids documented that homofermentative lactic acid bacteria were dominant in the sourdough fermentation. Sourdough fermentation did not reduce (<i>P</i> &gt; 0.05) the concentration of fructo-oligosaccharides in the sourdough. Likewise, sourdough fermentation did not reduce (<i>P</i> &gt; 0.05) the in vitro digestibility of starch in pasta or bread.

In bread making, where baker’s yeast was included as leavening agent, the FODMAP content was reduced by more than 90%. In conclusion, yeast invertase activity together with a sufficient fermentation time suffice to reduce FODMAP levels in bread. Effective FODMAP reduction by sourdough fermentation requires the selection of fermentation microbes that hydrolyze FODMAPs. Fermentation processes and strain selection to reduce FODMAP levels in pasta production to provide options for individuals with IBS and non-celiac wheat sensitivity remain subject to future investigations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":549,"journal":{"name":"European Food Research and Technology","volume":"251 5","pages":"851 - 860"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to promote the breeding and utilisation of soft-seeded pomegranate resources, it is necessary to characterize soft-seeded pomegranates which allows to identify cultivars that possess high qualities and could be used in the breeding programs and market acceptability. The aim of this study was to evaluate physical parameters (fruit characteristics: weight, size, pericarp thickness; aril and seed properties: one-hundred aril weight, size, aril yield, juice yield, seed hardness), chemical composition (TSS, dry mass, carbohydrates, acidity, bioactive compounds), and <i>in vitro</i> antioxidant activity (determined by DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, ·OH and O<sub>2</sub><sup>·−</sup> scavenging activity) in eight soft-seeded pomegranate cultivars. Results showed that eight cultivars bear medium-size fruits. Both aril weight and aril yield were poorly correlated with fruit weight determined by ANOVA followed by Duncan test. Juice yield varied from 80.87 to 88.29%, with no significant differences among cultivars. TSS content of fruits was more than 14% while titratable acidity content was less than 1%. Antioxidative compounds including vitamin C, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and polyphenols were varied significantly among cultivars. Physicochemical data similarity assessed by ANOSIM indicated significant differences in data distribution between pomegranate cultivars. ‘Parfianka’, ‘Sharp Velvet’, and ‘Sweet’ were elite soft-seeded cultivars evaluated by Entropy-based TOPSIS method. ‘Parfianka’ was notably characterised by a high content of vitamin C, and ‘Sharp Velvet’ and ‘Sweet’ were distinguished by their high content of flavonoids and polyphenols. It was total polyphenol content rather than vitamin C, total anthocyanins, and total flavonoids content contributed to DPPH and ABTS scavenging activities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":549,"journal":{"name":"European Food Research and Technology","volume":"251 5","pages":"885 - 898"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
