Traditionally, flavor chemistry research has relied on sensory-guided chromatography techniques to identify individual compounds responsible for aroma or taste activity. Among the over 12,000 volatile compounds identified in foods, hundreds have been linked to aroma characteristics, and many taste-active compounds have also been discovered. However analytical methods based on singular compound evaluation are not without limitation and can overlook drivers of flavor perception by ignoring potential stimuli (i.e. antagonists, modulators), interactions among stimuli, and sub-threshold activity. More recently, chemical profiling methods coupled with multivariate analysis, termed flavoromics, have led to advances in flavor research. Utilization of flavoromic methods provides additional opportunities to define chemical stimuli that influence flavor profiles and qualities of food, as well as their contributions to complex perceptions, such as consumer acceptance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":566,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Biotechnology","volume":"34 1","pages":"19 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142912979","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 the food industry, phytase is used in flour processing and bread making, reducing phytate content by around 70 %, thereby improving nutritional value and mineral bioavailability. In the feed industry, it serves as a poultry feed additive, breaking down phytates to enhance nutrient availability and feed efficiency. The enzyme’s robustness at high temperatures makes it valuable in feed processing. The integration of microbial production of phytase with genetically engineered strains followed by carrier free immobilization represents a synergistic approach to fortify enzyme structure and improve thermal stability.

TBHP activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways including Akt, p38, and JNK, and triggered autophagy.

It promoted probiotic growth, lowered pH, and inhibited pathogens. The shelf life of rice sausage extended from 7 to 21 days at 4 °C.
