This study aimed to develop a bamboo culm flour (BCF) to be used in the formulation of cookies, replacing 15% and 30% of wheat flour (WF). The parameters analysed for bamboo flour and cookies were moisture, ash, protein, fat, fibre and carbohydrates. For the flour, the water absorption index (WAI) and water solubility index (WSI) were also determined. BCF is a good source of protein, with a low lipid content and high fibre content, presenting the potential to be used in several food products. For the cookies produced, hardness, sensory analysis and purchase intent were analysed. In the sensory analysis of acceptability, the samples that showed better acceptance were the control formulation and the 15% BCF cookie; in the same sample, crude fibre increased from 5.92 g (100 g)–1 to 11.64 g (100 g)–1 compared to the control, and the intention to purchase the 15% sample was worse than for the control but still good: the majority of tasters said they certainly or maybe would buy. Thus, it is possible to conclude that the use of BCF is considered an excellent option to enrich cookies while keeping them acceptable nutritionally.

The effect of instant rice mash (IRC) addition to rice bread was evaluated. Six samples containing different amounts of IRC (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%) were added to rice dough. Quality parameters (baking loss, specific volume, and textural properties) were evaluated. Texture properties were analysed in fresh bread and in bread after 24 h of storage. Additions of 10% and 20% of IRC increased baking loss from 15% to 22%, and the specific volume of rice bread from 1.5 mL g–1 to 2.1 mL g–1 (10% of IRC) and 1.9 mL g–1 (20% of IRC). Increasing additions of IRC significantly decreased the hardness and chewiness of both fresh bread and bread stored for 24 h. By adding IRC, the cohesiveness of rice bread was increased. These findings are useful for increasing the quality of rice bread by adding IRC to rice dough.
评价了在米面包中添加即食米浆(IRC)的效果。将含有不同量IRC(0、10、20、30、40和50%)的六个样品加入到大米面团中。评估了质量参数(烘烤损失、比体积和质地特性)。分析了新鲜面包和储存24小时后面包的质地特性。添加10%和20%的IRC将烘焙损失从15%增加到22%,米面包的比体积从1.5 mL g–1增加到2.1 mL g–2(IRC的10%)和1.9 mL g–3(IRC)。IRC添加量的增加显著降低了新鲜面包和储存24小时的面包的硬度和耐嚼性。通过添加IRC,提高了米面包的内聚性。这些发现有助于通过在米面团中添加IRC来提高米面包的质量。

Heat-resistant moulds (HRMs) are the spoilage factors of thermally processed products such as pasteurised items and fruit products, which may cause financial losses and decrease food quality. Various variables may play a role in food contamination by HRMs, such as the processing environment, packaging, staff practices and air in the production site. Prevention of spoilage by HRMs for processed food products can be done through the reduction and decontamination of these microorganisms. This review aims to provide a perception of HRM and mycotoxin contamination, assessment, prevention and their consequences for food and human health.

The stability of three frying oils (rapeseed, sunflower, and rice) and their effect on the nutritional value of deep-fried fish fingers (FF) and potato croquettes (PC) was evaluated, considering the nutritional importance of reducing the amount of oil absorbed by fried foods. Ten frying cycles were performed for each food to mimic the repeated frying conditions. Dry matter content of fried foods was determined gravimetrically; fat extraction was performed using a Soxhlet apparatus. Oil stability changes were evaluated using the Schaal test; colour changes were monitored spectrophotometrically. Repeated frying had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on the fat content of the tested foods but influenced the dry matter content of PC. The highest and lowest oxidative stabilities during repeated frying were observed for rice and sunflower oil, respectively. During the frying of FF, all oils tended to darken after each frying, which was not observed for PC. The intake of fat owing to the consumption of one portion of the fried FF (150 g) or PC (200 g) approximately equals 9 g and 5 g, respectively. This demonstrates that fried foods themselves (not only the oil soaked) could be a considerable source of fat.

Polyamines are closely associated with environmental stresses and melatonin pretreatment enhances the resistance of fruit to chilling stress. However, a mechanism underlying melatonin-mediated chilling resistance remains to be answered. This research aimed to illuminate whether polyamines would be involved in melatonin-mediated chilling resistance. Therefore, in the experiment, the polyamines conjugated to the plasma membrane from the melatonin-pretreated apricot flesh cell were examined under chilling stress. Chilling resistance was judged by four parameters: fruit browning degree, plasma membrane permeability, malondialdehyde content and plasma membrane protein sulfhydryl level. Results showed melatonin pretreatment led to obvious rises in the levels of non-covalently conjugated spermine and spermidine, and covalently conjugated putrescine and spermidine in the plasma membrane. Methylglyoxyl-bis (guanylhydrazone) pretreatment could inhibit the melatonin-induced increases of non-covalently conjugated spermidine and spermine by inhibiting S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMDC) activity and free spermidine and spermine contents in flesh, coupled with the decrease in chilling resistance. Similarly, phenanthroline pretreatment could inhibit the melatonin-induced increases in covalently conjugated putrescine and spermidine in the plasma membrane through inhibiting transglutaminase (TGase) activity and simultaneously could aggravate chilling damage. The results suggested melatonin pretreatment could enhance chilling resistance by increasing non-covalently conjugated spermidine and spermine, as well as covalently conjugated putrescine and spermidine in the plasma membrane of apricot fruit.

Fortification is one of the most important processes for the improvement of nutrients in food. This process can be a very cost-effective public health intervention. Due to the high consumption rate of fruit products, fortification of these products will effectively reduce and prevent diseases associated with nutritional deficiencies. This paper offers an overview of the fortification of fruit products with minerals (calcium, iron), vitamins, and dietary fibre. Fortification is defined, and the main reasons behind carrying out this process are discussed. This review studied the different types of products and their fortification model.

The chocolate mass behaves like a typical non-Newtonian plastic liquid defined by the yield stress and the plastic shear stress. The rotary rheometer with a cone-plate spindle system was chosen to determine the flow properties of chocolate masses. The effect of shear stress on shear deformation rates was measured at a temperature of 40 °C in an ascending mode from 1 s–1 to 500 s–1 for chocolate samples [white chocolate (WC), ruby chocolate (RC), and caramelised Amber chocolate (AC)]. Plastic models, according to Casson, Bingham and Herschel-Bulkley, were used for the mathematical description of this dependence. The Herschel-Bulkley model was evaluated as the most suitable mathematical model for describing the flow behaviour of unconventional chocolate masses. The Herschel-Bulkley model was chosen based on a high value of the coefficient of determination R2 and a low value of the sum of the square error estimate (SSE). The non-Newtonian plastic behaviour was confirmed, and the yield stress was determined for all types of tested chocolate masses.

This study aimed to examine consumer satisfaction and repurchase intention for a chicken soup meal kit. Thus, this study was conducted on 135 Korean adults in their twenties and older who purchased a chicken soup meal kit from August 1 to August 31, 2021. In this study, after excluding 7 questionnaires who responded insincerely, the questionnaires of 128 people were finally analysed. For the collected data, frequency analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis, and correlation analysis were performed using the statistical package SPSS 20.0, and multiple regression analysis was performed to test the hypothesis. Convenience (β = 0.442) and price (β = 0.337) among the selection attributes of chicken soup meal kit products had a significant effect on satisfaction, while diversity (β = 0.0.27) and quality (β = 0.047) were not significant. Also, convenience (β = 0.504) and price (β = 0.337) affected repurchase intention among the purchasing attributes of the meal kit. However, diversity (β = 0.101) and quality (β = 0.045) did not exert any significant effects on repurchase intention. Finally, it was confirmed that satisfaction with the meal kit had a significant effect on the repurchase intention. Therefore, this study predicts that enhancing convenience and price competitiveness rather than quality or variety among chicken soup meal kit purchasing attributes will increase consumer satisfaction and repurchase intention.

Pasta is very popular among different groups of the population, being a healthy and cheap product. Therefore, pasta is a promising object for its enrichment with functional ingredients. The paper examined the possibility and feasibility of using red bell pepper powder (BPP) and parsley leaf powder (PLP) in order to enhance the pasta biological value. Recipes of spaghetti pasta production with the addition of red BPP and PLP were developed. The effect of powders from red bell pepper and parsley leaf incorporation on the physicochemical and culinary properties of pasta was studied. The enrichment of pasta induced a decrease in optimal cooking time, swelling index (SI) and water absorption index (WAI). The addition of plant powders decreased the lightness of pasta significantly (P < 0.05) compared to the control sample. On the other hand, the addition of vegetable powders has a positive influence on the total polyphenol content (TPC) and antioxidant activity of pasta. In enriched pasta, the polyphenol content has doubled (pasta with 10.0% BPP) or even tripled (pasta with 10.0% PLP). The received scores from the sensory evaluation showed that pasta fortified with PLP and red BPP can be a technological alternative to provide nutritionally enriched pasta.

Listeria monocytogenes can form biofilms on different food contact surfaces, increasing the risk of cross-contamination in food products. Weissella viridescens are Gram-positive bacteria and belong to lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of cell-free culture supernatant (CFS) from W. viridescens to control L. monocytogenes biofilms as well as their growth on chilled pork. Preliminary results suggest that the antibacterial compounds in W. viridescens CFS may be proteinaceous in nature. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of most L. monocytogenes strains tested was 30 mg mL–1. Biofilm formation of L. monocytogenes 10403S on stainless steel and polystyrene was significantly inhibited by the sub-inhibitory concentration of W. viridescens CFS (1/8MIC, 1/4MIC, and 1/2MIC). Our results also showed that W. viridescens CFS at concentrations higher than MIC (1MIC, 2MIC, and 4MIC) was effective in eradicating the mature biofilms of 10403S strain on various surfaces. Dip applications of W. viridescens CFS could inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes on chilled pork. On the whole, W. viridescens CFS has the potential to control biofilms as a natural antibiofilm and as an antibacterial agent to inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes on chilled pork.

On the whole, W. viridescens CFS has the potential to control biofilms as a natural antibiofilm and as an antibacterial agent to inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes on chilled pork.","PeriodicalId":10882,"journal":{"name":"Czech Journal of Food Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43263483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
