Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined spectroscopically. The greatest release of elements, phenols and flavonoids, (% release/1% infusion rate) were for phenols (1.22–3.74, respectively), flavonoids (0.12–2.18), K (0.39–0.78), P (0.14–0.87), and S (0.07–0.85). The least release was for Ba (0.04–0.17), Fe (0.03–0.41) and B (− 0.006 to 2.33). Dill showed the most important effect on the Na concentration of honey enriched (at 5.00%) with > 90 times higher content (328 ± 4 mg/kg) compared to control honey (3.46 ± 0.07 mg/kg). Sr content was more than 50 times higher in honey enriched with marjoram (1383 ± 10 µg/kg), and honey enriched with dill showed more than 30 times higher Fe content (4112 ± 14 µg/kg). Enrichment with dill had the greatest effect on Ca, Cu, K, Mg, Na and Fe content of control honey, and garlic had the most important effect on the B, P, S, Zn, TP and TF content. Enrichment with these herbs and spices resulted in increases in element, total phenolic and flavonoid content of acacia honey.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"62 1","pages":"167 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":2.701,"publicationDate":"2024-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13197-024-06019-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141501486","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}

Despite this, the results of the three methods may not be comparable. This work investigated the limitation of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of the glucose released after in vitro rice digestion. Intra-day and inter-day precision were evaluated through analyzing the contents of rapidly digestible starch (RDS), DS (RDS + slowly digestible starch (SDS)), and total starch (TS). Tests of accuracies were also conducted. The results demonstrated that all three methods showed good linear correlations, i.e., y = 0.3417x + 0.0799 (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.994), y = 0.1719x + 0.0900 (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.993), and y = 58078x + 6039.4 (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.999), respectively. Concerning the LOD and LOQ, HPAEC-PAD showed the lowest 0.07 and 0.24 mg/L, followed by the Spectrophotometer of 2.72 and 9.07 mg/L. ELISA showed the highest 9.95 and 33.16 mg/L. The recoveries of these methods ranged from 98.62% to 100.56%, 99.05% to 102.72%, and 96.71% to 103.27%, respectively. HPAEC-PAD method had lower contents of RDS, DS, and TS, indicating it may be poor. Combining above factors, Spectrophotometer was chosen and used in digestion of biscuits and steamed buns. RS of biscuits was the highest, possibly due to the formation of lipid-starch complex. Additionally, steamed buns had the highest RDS. These observations suggested that Spectrophotometer method was suitable for accurately and reproducibly analyzing carbohydrate digestion in different food systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"62 1","pages":"88 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":2.701,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141337420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These drawbacks can be addressed through the use of innovative techniques and instrumentation that offers improved efficiency and accuracy for isolation of active constituents from food and beverage samples. Here a solid phase extraction methodology and extraction assembly has been developed for extracting compounds from orange fruit juice, followed by analysis using a LC-HRMS system. The methodology and assembly eliminate the evaporation step, thus facilitating the analysis of wide range of volatile and non-volatile compounds without the risk of their evaporation, making it particularly suitable for thermo-sensitive compounds. Also, the elute can be used for further analysis using LC-HRMS. The effectiveness of the designed extraction assembly and technique was demonstrated by comparing the procedure with the available conventional extraction assemblies, highlighting the advantages of the developed method.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"62 1","pages":"65 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":2.701,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141258918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aims of this study were to quantify the residue level of IVM in different muscles of cattle at several different time periods following 1% or 3.15% IVM administration and also determined whether the residue concentration was affected by industrial thermal processing. Distinct pattern of IVM residue distribution was observed in each tissue evaluated. After completed the IVM withdrawal periods, nearly all tissues presented IVM residues concentration below the established Codex Alimentarius MRLs, except for the injection site, which means that the calculation to determine the withdrawal period for the injection site should not be the same as that used for standard edible tissues. Also, the thermal processing to which canned products are exposed causes changes in the levels of quantified residues in comparison to raw products, which must be taken into consideration in surveillance program assessments and generates concerns regarding the possibility of residue limit violation in importing markets.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"62 1","pages":"56 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":2.701,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141190909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
