Mango samples were coated with varying concentrations of ZnO solutions and stored at ambient temperature for seven days.

The antioxidant capacity of emulsion gels based on QPC or QPH was determined using the ABTS and DPPH methods, and rheological analysis was also performed. The QPH exhibited higher ability to chelate ferrous ions and greater reducing power than QPC. The ABTS and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the QPH-based emulsion gels was higher than that obtained from QPC-based emulsion gels. Furthermore, QPH was more effective in reducing lipid oxidation. After 30 days of storage, QPH-based emulsion gels showed lower levels of malondialdehyde compared to those obtained from QPC-based emulsion gels. The rheological behavior of the emulsion gels revealed that the storage modulus (Gʹ) was greater than the loss modulus (Gʺ) throughout the entire frequency range, thus deformation in the linear region was mainly elastic. The strain recovery occurred because of the good viscoelastic properties of the samples. Although the strengthening of QPH-based emulsion gels was less than that of the QPC-based gels, the gel structure remained stable through the entire temperature range.

Elevating GEO concentration led to a significant enhancement in elongation at break (EB), escalating from 19.05 to 39.88%, while an increase in wall concentration to 2% resulted in an EB of 35.04% (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images illustrated that heightened solid content (BSG) in MGEOs preserved stability during film formation and increased film density. Remarkably, films containing 0.5% and 1% GEO, across both wall concentrations, exhibited significant antibacterial activity against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (<i>p</i> < 0.05), with no discernible effect on <i>Salmonella typhimurium</i>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":564,"journal":{"name":"Food Biophysics","volume":"19 4","pages":"1192 - 1209"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11483-024-09888-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142452969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
