Miljković, M. Stading","doi":"10.3389/frfst.2022.1058641","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3389/frfst.2022.1058641","url":null,"abstract":"As life expectancy increases so do age related problems such as swallowing disorders, dysphagia, which affects 10%–30% of people over 65 years old. For dysphagia patients the texture and rheological properties of the food, and the bolus, is critical to avoid choking and pneumonia. Texture modified foods, timbals, are often served to these patients due to their ease of swallowing. The main concern with these foods is that they do not look visually alike the food they replace, which can decrease the patient’s appetite and lead to reduced food intake and frailty. This study aims to improve both the visual appearance of texturized food as well as the energy density and fiber content of the timbal formulation. 3D scanning and additive manufacturing (3D Printing) were used to produce meals more reminiscent of original food items, increasing their visual appeal. Rheology was used to ensure the original flow profile was maintained as the timbal was reformulated by reducing starch contents and partially replacing with dietary fibers. The amount of starch was reduced from 8.7 wt% in the original formulation to 3.5 wt% and partially replaced with 3 wt% citrus fiber, while maintaining properties suitable for both swallowing and 3D printing. The resulting formulation has improved nutritional properties, while remaining suitable for constructing visually appealing meals, as demonstrated by 3Dprinting a chicken drumstick from a model generated with 3D scanning.","PeriodicalId":93753,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in food science and technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42853633","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}

Bioprocessing of this bioenergy by-product using beneficial lactic acid bacteria (LAB)-based fermentation strategy to improve animal-health targeted functional qualities has wider relevance for animal feed applications. In this study, liquid extracts of corn DDGS were fermented with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus helveticus. The unfermented and fermented extracts were then analyzed (at 0, 24, 48 and 72-h) for their total soluble phenolic content (TSP), phenolic profile, antioxidant activity via ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity, and antimicrobial activity against the gut pathogen Helicobacter pylori using in vitro assay models. Statistical differences in antioxidant activity and phenolic content were observed among the unfermented and fermented extracts. The major phenolic compounds detected in corn DDGS were gallic, dihydroxybenzoic, p-coumaric, caffeic and ferulic acid, and catechin. Antimicrobial activity against H. pylori was observed for the unfermented extracts and the antimicrobial activity was attributed to the growth of a corn DDGS-endemic culture. The culture was isolated, sequenced, and identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Results of this study indicated that processing strategies of by-products such as LAB- based fermentation of corn DDGS could affect its bioactive-linked functional qualities due to microbial interaction with the phytochemicals. Furthermore, plant by-products can serve as novel sources of beneficial microflora that have relevance in wider agriculture, food safety, and therapeutic applications.","PeriodicalId":93753,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in food science and technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46511685","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 experimental treatment groups included control (CK), cellulase (C), L. plantarum (L), and cellulase + L. plantarum (CL). Triplicate silos were sampled after 14 and 56 days of ensiling. The microbial diversity of C. korshinskii silage at 56 days was analyzed using Illumina MiSeq sequencing technology, and the effects of C. korshinskii silage on rumen fermentation were evaluated by the in vitro artificial rumen gas production method. The results showed that the addition of cellulose and L. plantarum treatments reduced ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N), dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber content during ensiling. Compared with the CK group, higher lactic acid content was observed in the silage of the C and L groups, but the CL group had a higher acetic acid (AA) content. Compared with the CK group, the relative abundance of Lactiplantibacillus significantly increased, but that of Enterococcus, Weissella, Enterobacter, and Pediococcus significantly decreased in all other groups except the C group (p < 0.05). The results of gene function prediction were as follows: pyruvate kinase, 1-phosphofructokinase, and fructokinase were lactate production enzymes, which suggested the association of the high AA content in the CL group to the high abundance of 6-phosphate glucose dehydrogenase. The abundance of H + -transporting ATPase and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in the L and CL groups was higher than that in the CK groups. Metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides, mismatch repair, DNA replication, nucleotide excision repair, and homologous recombination increased in the CL group compared with those in the CK group. Compared with the CK group, NH3-N and microbial protein content and the degradation rates of DM and NDF increased in the L and CL groups. To conclude, the L and CL groups had increased Lactiplantibacillus abundance, improved fermentation quality, and high DM degradation rates compared with the CK group.","PeriodicalId":93753,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in food science and technology","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41818282","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}

Three different types of extracts were obtained, one using supercritical carbon dioxide (lipophilic extract) and two using subcritical water extraction (hydrophilic extracts)—one on dry seaweed (Subcritical water extract (SCWE) and one on the residue from supercritical carbon dioxide extraction after extracting the lipophilic compounds (Subcritical water extract (SCWER). The extracts were characterized with respect to their antioxidant composition and in vitro antioxidant properties. Moreover, the extracts were added in concentrations of 2 g/kg mayonnaise, both individually or in combination to study synergistic effects between antioxidants with different polarity and locations in the mayonnaise system. Results showed that both types of extractsdelayed the oxidation of lipids; The hydrophilic extracts (SCWE and SCWER) were able toretard the formation of hydroperoxides, and subsequent formation of secondary oxidation products. However, no synergetic effect was found for the hydrophilic and hydrophobic extracts when they were applied in different phases of the mayonnaise. The metal chelating ability is suggested to be responsible for the observed better performance of the hydrophilic extracts. However, further studies are required to understand which specific components in the extract have contributed to metal chelating ability. In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggest hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds from the Nordic seaweed F. vesiculosus can retard lipid oxidation in mayonnaise.","PeriodicalId":93753,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in food science and technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48141639","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 U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) analysis of the outbreaks found three reoccurring patterns with leafy greens contaminated with STEC, specifically E. coli O 157:H7, in 2018–2020: the presence of pathogenic E. coli, common geographical regions, and issues with activities on adjacent lands, such as cattle production and migratory birds. The FDA’s response to the recurring outbreaks associated with leafy greens is the Leafy Greens STEC Action Plan (LGAP). In partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a regulatory pathway was created for the approval of commercial sanitizers that can be applied to agricultural irrigation water to combat STEC, specifically E. coli O 157:H7. However, the protocol has several real-world limitations and economic consequences, such as the potential to overuse sanitizing products, thus adding disinfection by-products classified as pollutants. In addition, there have been several initiatives due to systems research on the local, state, and federal levels to provide technical assistance for the further improvement of Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs). This review considers the factors involved in leafy green production, such as agricultural water, climate change, and adjacent land use, contributing to increased susceptibility to pathogens contamination and how the implementation of sanitizers impacts food safety. The review discusses potential future improvements to agricultural water safety and quality in the context of improving food safety.","PeriodicalId":93753,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in food science and technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45810632","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}

Population growth and inactivation data on eight pathogenic and food spoilage bacteria under 5,025 environmental conditions were obtained from the ComBase database (www.combase.cc), including 15 food categories, and temperatures ranging from 0°C to 25°C. The eXtreme gradient boosting tree was used to predict population behavior. The root mean square error of the observed and predicted values was 1.23 log CFU/g. The data mining model extracted the growth inhibition for the investigated bacteria against aw, temperature, and pH using the SHapley Additive eXplanations value.

A cross-sectional study approved by the Institutional Review Board was conducted in 43 quarters randomly selected in Yaoundé using a semi-structured questionnaire. The target population was producers and street sellers of traditional foods who used recovered bottles for food packaging and had freely signed the informed consent clearance. Then, the recovered bottles cleaned by the participants and ready to be reused as traditional food packaging were sampled and screened for the presence of biofilms. The results showed that 84% of the 162 participants were women. Bottles reused for traditional food packaging were mainly collected from garbage (70.4%). A total of six different cleaning processes were identified from manufacturers of traditional food products. The cleaning processes were significantly (p < 0.05) dependent on the education level and varied from one manufacturer to another. Amongst the identified cleaning processes, those which included soaking and disinfection unit operations were more efficient in biofilms’ removal. Bottles cleaned according to these processes scored the lowest biofilms’ contents. Independently of the cleaning processes, biofilms were detected in all recovered bottles. This might suggest a potential health risk for consumers.","PeriodicalId":93753,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in food science and technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46929956","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}
