Emerging contaminants pose a potential threat to the safety of edible oils. This study combined Fourier Transform Near-Infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy with chemometrics for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of five contaminants in peanut oil. The results show that the Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) classifier effectively differentiates between normal and contaminated samples

This study examined the effect of quinone concentration on covalent interaction between β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) and 4-methylbenzoquinone (4MBQ). β-Lg-4MBQ-0.2, β-Lg-4MBQ-0.4, and β-Lg-4MBQ-0.8 were prepared at 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1 M ratio of 4MBQ to β-Lg thiols, respectively. β-Lg-4MBQ-0.8 had the highest polyphenol content (19.04 ± 0.17 mg/g) and the lowest free sulfhydryl (17.12 ± 0.18 μmol/g) and amino

Analog processed cheeses are cheese-like products with diverse compositions and functional properties that are produced by replacing milk components with non-milk components. The aim of the study was to investigate physicochemical, rheological and sensory properties of cheeses and oleogels. The results showed; that increasing the concentration of Mono and di-glyceride increased the oil binding capacity

Silkworm pupae are highly valuable as edible insects due to their nutritional and bioactive properties. Investigating the bioactive compounds within silkworm pupae can provide useful information for advanced processing and utilization of this resource. In this study, untargeted metabolomics analysis was employed to characterize the bioactive compounds present in silkworm pupae (Bombyx mori). A total

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious and prevalent complications associated with diabetes. Consequently, antidiabetic drugs or foods potentially protecting the kidneys are of significant therapeutic value. Sulforaphene (SFE) is a natural isothiocyanate derived from radish seeds, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, no studies have investigated on the

Although more sustainable, feeding fish solely plant protein (PP) deteriorates their fillet quality more than animal counterparts, which additives can alleviate. This study investigated the effects of supplementing high PP diets with two additive mixtures on the fillet quality of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Fish (~2.2 g) were fed with four isonitrogenous (42 % CP) and isolipidic (20 % lipid)

Scaffolds are three-dimensional biomaterials that act as structural blueprint for cultured meat precursor cells. The advancement of scaffold fabrication techniques and the development of novel scaffolds specifically designed for cultured meat are evident in numerous scaffold-based cultured meat reports, highlighting the advantages of the scaffolds using different characterization and evaluation techniques

Fat, sugar, theobromine, and caffeine are important compounds in chocolates that influence the physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of the products. These parameters commonly are determined with conventional, time-consuming, environmentally pollutant methods. In this study, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) coupled with partial least square regression (PLSR) was used to predict the quantity

Improper use and harmful effects of nitrite ions pose a significant risk to human health. To address this concern, the use of carbon-based materials for electrochemical sensing is regarded as one of the most promising detection tools for ensuring the quality of drinking water and food products. In this context, we developed laser-ablated graphene electrodes (LAGEs) by direct laser scribing on a polyimide

This study aimed to analyze the effects of temperature on physicochemical properties and volatile profiles of the ‘Shine Muscat’ grape during postharvest storage. Fresh grapes were stored at 4 °C and 25 °C for 28 d. The salable weight and appearance-related quality were better maintained in low-temperature storage (4 °C), and grapes stored at 25 °C presented a higher total soluble solids/titratable

The research on the foaming of semi-solid gel (oleogel) has recently attracted the attention of food scientists owing to its functional characteristics that make it a potential alternative to saturated fat and trans-fat used in food products. The oleofoams are prepared by heating the vegetable oil with an oleogelator followed by cooling to form a semi-solid gel and then incorporating air in the semi-solid

Hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) is commonly used in food preservation and as a substitute for sulfur dioxide in wine production and to prevent late blowing defects in cheese production. However, HEWL is an egg allergen that can cause severe allergic reactions in allergic individuals after accidental ingestion. Therefore, in order to prevent life-threatening health problems caused by consumer allergies

Ready-to-eat (RTE) abalones, scallops and oysters were prepared through a process of cooking, drying, vacuum packaging, and high-temperature sterilization, and were subjected to accelerated storage. Upon storage, the three RTE shellfishes all showed color deterioration, as indicated by darker color, decreased L* and W* values, and increased a* value. In contrast, the color deterioration of RTE oysters

In this work, a series of three-dimensional (3D) SERS substrate were successfully fabricated by assembling silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto a porous gelatin sponge (GS) for highly sensitive thiram residues detection in vegetables. These 3D micro-nanostructures could induce the sufficient surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of noble metals on their surface and achieve high enrichment of pollutant

In this paper, the structures and composition of phlorotannins with different molecular weights in juvenile and mature kelp (Saccharina japonica), as well as their relationship with antioxidant activity were comprehensively analyzed. Macroporous resin and ultrafiltration were used to obtain phlorotannins with different molecular weights. The structures of low molecular weight and high molecular weight

In this study, the aroma profiles of high- and low-alcohol Jiangxiangxing Baijiu were compared through sensory analysis, revealing significant differences in acidic, floral, fruity, smoky and oxidized oil notes. To further clarify the underlying causes of aroma differences, we examined the concentrations of 106 important compounds, revealing that the concentrations differences between the two were

Food preservatives are essential for maintaining the safety and quality of food products. Nisin and natamycin are natural food preservatives extensively used in the food industry to enhance various food products’ shelf life and safety. Nisin, a polycyclic antibacterial peptide, is effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive bacteria, including foodborne pathogens and spoilage organisms. On
