Microbial dynamics in cheese are discussed, showing how irradiation doses influence bacterial counts and cheese characteristics. Gamma rays are suitable for bulky cheeses due to their high penetration depth, while electron beams are ideal for surface treatments due to their limited penetration depth. X-rays offer a good balance between penetration depth and energy efficiency. Consumer perception and legal aspects are also addressed, with market acceptance and retail impact assessed. The review demonstrates that irradiation can reduce contamination, extend shelf life, and preserve sensory properties, making it a promising tool for cheese processing.

This study investigates the enhancement of protein quality and bioactive peptide production in almond-based dairy alternatives through lactic acid fermentation and enzyme-assisted hydrolysis, focusing on potential cardiovascular health benefits. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Case Studies: Enzymatic Treatment of Plant-Based Proteins for Improved Functional Properties strains such as <i>Lactobacillus plantarum</i> and <i>Lactobacillus acidophilus</i> were used to improve sensory properties, enhance nutrient bioavailability, and generate bioactive peptides. These peptides exhibit health-promoting activities such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, antioxidant effects, and anti-inflammatory properties, all of which are critical for cardiovascular health. Enzyme-assisted hydrolysis further improves protein digestibility by breaking down almond proteins into smaller, more absorbable peptides. The dual approach of combining fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis was found to optimize the production of bioactive peptides while enhancing the overall sensory profile and functionality of almond-based products. The study also highlights the need for further research into optimizing processing conditions, understanding the synergistic mechanisms of LAB fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis, and validating the cardiovascular benefits of almond-derived bioactive peptides through clinical trials. These findings pave the way for developing functional almond-based products with enhanced nutritional profiles and potential heart-health benefits.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"62 3","pages":"413 - 432"},"PeriodicalIF":2.701,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13197-024-06188-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143108415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
