Its physicochemical and structural characteristics were identified using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Its functional properties–antioxidant activity (2, 2′-azinobis-[3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonicacid] [ABTS], 1-Diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl [DPPH]), and tyrosinase inhibition rate were investigated. SEM showed that the spherical particle size of p-CSPs-EGCG was about 100 nm when the mass ratio of p-CSPs to EGCG was 1:2. FTIR showed that the amide of the CSPs had shifted from 1545 to 1567 cm^− 1 (p-CSPs), indicating that p-CA’ –COOH reacted with the CSPs’ NH₂. The appearance of a new peak at 2978–2895 cm^− 1 in the FTIR spectrum of p-CSPs-EGCG signified that the successful reaction of EGCG’s –OH with p-CSPs’ NH₂. p-CSPs-EGCG showed better antioxidant activity (ABTS, 80.6%; DPPH, 81.5%) than the CSPs and p-CSPs, especially given that it had higher antioxidant stability than p-CA and EGCG after 7 d’s storage, with p-CA differentially decreased to 13.7% (ABTS) and EGCG to 18.8% (ABTS), while p-CSPs-EGCG barely decreased. Moreover, p-CSPs-EGCG showed stronger tyrosinase inhibition (54.1%) than the CSPs and the p-CSPs and more stable characteristics than p-CA and EGCG after 7 d’s storage, with p-CA differentially decreased by 9.80% and EGCG by 16.1%, while p-CSPs-EGCG decreased by only 3.10%. It was found that prepared p-CSPs-EGCG is a reliable tyrosinase inhibitor in fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":564,"journal":{"name":"Food Biophysics","volume":"19 3","pages":"653 - 664"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11483-024-09849-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141269960","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}

DSC evidenced reversible transitions attributed to lipid melting/crystallization between − 60 and 90 °C. The GAB model was chosen to model adsorption isotherms.

GAB model also allowed calculating flour monolayer moisture contents (Mo ≤ 5.6 g/100 g dry matter (DM)). Net isosteric heat (qst) was evaluated. q_st decreases with increase of water content and was higher for the flour of <i>I. truncata</i> larvae (from 8571 to 503 J/mol; 2,5 to 20 g/100 g DM) than that of <i>R. phoenicis</i> larvae (from 1750 to 124 J/mol; 5 to 30 g/100 g DM). Finally, the maximum storage times of the insect flours under typical packaging and storage conditions were estimated according to the Heiss and Eichner model.

The thermodynamics and energetic analysis demonstrated higher energy efficiency at 80 ºC. Lower temperature (60 ºC) promoted lower total color difference and hygroscopicity, and higher volumetric shrinkage.

As the GA concentration was increased, the apparent viscosity of GG mixtures with either GA or GA-based emulsion (GAE) tended to decrease. Specifically, with a higher GA concentration (&gt; 1.5%), the GG-GA mixtures showed a lower relative apparent viscosity than the GG-GAE mixtures. In contrast, except for GG-GA mixture with 6.0% GA, all other mixtures showed lower tan δ values (0.66–0.69) than GG alone (0.72), indicating an enhancement of weak gel-like properties.

In addition, each type of mixture exhibited different tribological properties. As the GA concentration was increased, the friction coefficient (μ) values of both tended to decrease.

Specimens were extracted by maceration method with three types of solvents with different polarities and steam distillation. The 25% extract using ethyl acetate solvent showed antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria (<i>Enterobacter</i> spp. and <i>Pseudomonas</i> spp.); Gram-positive bacteria (<i>Listeria monocytogenes</i>); and fungi (<i>Rhizopus oryzae</i> and <i>Penicillium</i> spp.) in well-diffusion assays. The antimicrobial activity of the extract was lower than several commercially used antibiotics such as antibacterial (penicillin G and streptomycin) and antifungal (nystatin) but exhibited broad inhibition spectrum against pathogen samples. The antimicrobial activity of the extract will increase at a low pH condition (pH 4–5) and is stable in 1–4% salt solution. Although the inhibitory activity was decreased slightly upon heating, the antimicrobial activity was stable up to 15 min of exposure to high temperatures (80^○C and 100^○C). Antimicrobial activity of the extract was reported to be higher in a spheroplast and protoplast condition. Leakage of metal ions such as calcium and potassium ions indicated that the activity of the extract could interfere with cell permeability so that the cells become lysed. The extract caused some damage to the bacteria and fungi cell bodies such as holes, curls, shrinkage, elongation, and swelling.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":564,"journal":{"name":"Food Biophysics","volume":"19 4","pages":"852 - 871"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11483-024-09841-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140565606","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}
