The need for innovative biofertilizers has been increasing in recent years as a consequence of the loss of soil microbial biodiversity. In this context, symbiotic agriculture, which involves the application of beneficial microorganisms to the soil, is an emerging and promising reality. A key point is related to the choice of an adequate formulation strategy for the microbial systems to maintain their vitality and shelf-life. The use of a liquid formulation is an alternative to the traditional dry powders, but currently a successful microbial stabilization in a liquid biofertilizer is still not available. Therefore, the aim of this study is to stabilize different microorganisms using a double emulsion to obtain a liquid product. The emulsion formulation and production conditions were optimized for strain encapsulation and emulsions were characterized by analysing droplet size distribution, concentration, vitality of microorganisms after the production process, and stability of the product over time. A final formulation, obtained by mixing the different emulsions was developed with the objective of delivering a complete pool of beneficial microorganisms to the soil. The mixture was stable for 5 months at room temperature and microorganism concentration remained constant, indicating that no antagonistic activity within the microbial consortium was present.

Chocolate powder is a widely consumed food, but it has a high sugar content. Spirulina microalgae contains high nutritional value and can be used to enrich foods. However, microalgae has strong sensory characteristics. To add it to food, it is necessary to hide these characteristics, such as through nanoencapsulation. Therefore, the objective of this work was to develop nanospheres with Spirulina biomass by nanoencapsulation and apply them in chocolate milk. This nanospheres were produced through the electrospraying technique, with chitosan and Spirulina. The best parameters to produce nanospheres were a polymeric solution with 0.50 % chitosan, electric potential of 24 kV, and capillary diameter of 0.70 mm. These resulted in more uniform nanoparticles without the presence of a residual solvent. Nanospheres with Spirulina sp. LEB 18 are stable up to approximately 200 °C. Chocolate milk containing nanospheres with Spirulina was formulated to contain 5 % Spirulina, which increased the protein content by 16.3 %, lipids by 88.9 % and ash by 33.9 % in this food compared to the control. It received an average score of 6.9 in the sensory analysis and had a public acceptance rate of 76.3 %. By incorporating 300 mL of chocolate milk containing nanospheres with Spirulina into school meals, children up to 5 years old (weighing approximately 18 kg) meet their daily protein requirement in a single serving.

The study investigates the osmotic dehydration (OD) of sole fillets and its mass transfer kinetics. Brine (S10), brine+sucrose (S10Az), and brine+sucrose+acetic acid (S10AA) solutions were used, with treatments conducted under atmospheric pressure (control) and with vacuum impregnation pulses (VI) for 7 hours. A positive mass change was observed over time in S10 and S10Az, leading to increased processing yields, while a decreasing trend was noted in S10AA. VI had a significant effect on NaCl content in S10AA, resulting in a 45 % processing time reduction. The Peleg model accurately fitted the solutes content dynamics, suggesting that VI shortens the time it takes to reach equilibrium for NaCl and sucrose. Product texture characteristics were affected by the solution composition, with increased hardness in S10AA, but not by VI treatment. These findings enhance the understanding of fish pre-treatment operational variables and suggest the VI potential for streamlining processes in the fish industry.
本研究探讨了鳎鱼片的渗透脱水(OD)及其传质动力学。采用盐水(S10)、盐水+蔗糖(S10Az)和盐水+蔗糖+醋酸(S10AA)溶液,在常压(对照)和真空浸渍脉冲(VI)下处理 7 小时。随着时间的推移,S10 和 S10Az 的质量变化呈正值,从而提高了加工产量,而 S10AA 则呈下降趋势。在 S10AA 中,VI 对 NaCl 含量的影响很大,使加工时间缩短了 45%。Peleg 模型准确地拟合了溶质含量的动态变化,表明 VI 缩短了 NaCl 和蔗糖达到平衡所需的时间。产品质地特征受溶液成分的影响,S10AA 的硬度增加,而 VI 处理则没有影响。这些研究结果加深了人们对鱼类预处理操作变量的了解,并表明 VI 有可能简化鱼类行业的流程。

Fortified reduced-calorie plum spreads (∼40°Brix), containing 10 % (w/w) freeze-dried plum pomace (FD-PP), were analyzed for phenolic compounds (spectrophotometrically and chromatographically determined) and antioxidant activity to evaluate the effects of processing and pasteurization during the transition from laboratory (LS-S) to industrial scale (IS-S) spread manufacturing. Additionaly, a control sample at an industrial scale (IS-CS) was prepared to estimate FD-PP's functional contribution. The physicochemical properties of spreads and plum materials used (FD-PP and plum purée, PP), were also investigated. IS-S exhibited increased levels of total phenols, total flavonoids, total anthocyanins, catechin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rutin, quercetin, cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, and cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside, alongside higher antioxidant activity compared to IS-CS. LS-S retained more phenolics than IS-S, possibly due to the pasteurization step (85 °C, 1 h) introduced in IS-S processing. Although characterised by reduced phenolic and anthocyanins content upon pasteurization, appealing colour of the IS-S spread was retained. Significant correlations (p<0.05) were observed across most individual phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity. Standard score (SS) analysis showed that phenolic retention and antioxidant activity were highest in LS-S (SS=0.754), followed by IS-S (SS=0.490) and IS-CS (SS=0.163). Pasteurization and the use of FD-PP contributed to the microbiologically stable spread after 21 days of storage.

Pickering emulsion prepared by the interaction between polyphenols and protein can improve the stability of protein-based emulsion. The purpose of this study was to explore the complex formation mechanism of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-porcine serum albumin (PSA) complex and the preparation of food-grade Pickering emulsion. By the UV and fluorescence spectral analysis, it was found that EGCG has an obvious fluorescence quenching effect on PSA, mainly static quenching. The results of synchronous, three-dimensional fluorescence and FT-IR spectroscopy showed that the hydrophobic microenvironment of aromatic amino acids and the secondary structure of PSA changed after EGCG was added. The results of molecular docking examined that EGCG and PSA form more stable complexes due to hydrogen bonds, and the binding energy was −4.43 kcal /mol. Compared with the PSA emulsion, the successfully prepared EGCG-PSA Pickering emulsion had smaller droplets and no obvious color in CLMS. The Pickering emulsion of EGCG-PSA had strong emulsification and high viscosity, which belonged to pseudoplastic non-Newtonian fluid. In addition, the free fatty acids release rate of EGCG-PSA Pickering emulsion was decreased by 9.9 %. The antioxidant performance of the EGCG-PSA Pickering emulsion was improved, and the DPPH radical scavenging rate and the ABTS+ radical scavenging rate reached the highest, which were 93.72 % and 57.16 % respectively. This study provides important insights into the interaction between EGCG and PSA, and a reference for the development of polyphenol-protein complex Pickering emulsion in food, medicine, cosmetics, and other fields.

This study aimed at constructing a laboratory machine for chitosan-based citrus fruit edible coating operation. The machine included a roller fruit conveyor system for fruits to travel, where the fruits were sprayed with a conventional coating material. The spraying flow rate and the slope of the device during the spraying were optimized to minimize the changes in morphological (image processing characteristics), physiological (firmness and total soluble solids), and biochemical (limonene and microRNA concentrations) properties of the orange fruits during 16 days of storage period with the minimum consumption of the coating material. In addition to fruit physiological properties such as firmness, fruit biochemical properties including limonene and miR-397 concentration as a regulator of lignin synthesis in oranges were significantly preserved in the fruits coated using the proposed machine. Although morphological and some physiological properties could not reveal the effects of edible coating on fruits due to the short period of storage, the concentration of miR-397, which was measured with a portable electrochemical biosensor at the femtomolar level, could determine the effects of coating treatments on fruit quality with suitable performance. Coated fruits that exerted the least change in miR-397 concentration after 16 days, had a more suitable appearance after two months of cold storage. While, many of the control fruits that showed significant changes in microRNA concentrations after 16 days, were in unfavorable exocarp conditions for the market. The findings of this study are useful for developing new fruit coating machines and introducing microRNAs as early indicators of fruit post-storage quality.

Starch micro and nanoparticles have emerged as popular stabilizers in food and pharmaceutical formulations. Wet-stirred media milling (WSMM) to develop such particles has not been widely reported, in contrast to chemical hydrolysis. Therefore, this contribution aimed to analyze the effects of: 1) Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and post-milling operations on the stability of starch nanosuspensions; 2) the bead diameter (db) (0.15, 0.50 mm) and starch concentration (cS) (1, 3.5, 7 % w/v) on the type and stability of nanosuspensions, breakage kinetics and microhydrodynamic parameters; 3) spray-drying of nanosuspensions on the structural changes and redispersion of powders. Stable nanosuspensions with an average size of 161±5 nm could be obtained, from an initial size of 14.08±0.08 μm. The use of SDS as a stabilizer prevented aggregation during milling and allowed the formation of amylose-SDS complexes, supported by DSC and X-ray techniques. The microhydrodynamic analysis showed that increasing cS decreased the compression forces applied to particles. Moreover, the intensity of collisions was improved with a larger db. Spray-dried nanosuspensions formulated with a cS of 7 % (w/v), different SDS concentrations (0, 0.07 and 1 % w/v), and a db of 0.15 mm were analyzed. Submicron particles could only be obtained with 1 % (w/v) of SDS: from 366 to 271 nm after milling and spray-drying, respectively. Under these conditions, the granules were fully fragmented, which was confirmed by X-ray and TEM techniques. These results showed that WSMM could be implemented as a solvent-free methodology to obtain biopolymer-based nanoparticles.

Produced or processed foods are subjects to natural spoilage and contamination, commonly by microorganisms. This occurs along the food supply chain, which results in high levels of food waste and compromised consumer safety. The use of light-emitting diode technologies, a novel non-thermal surface disinfection method, can be used in order to reduce microbial activity and improve shelf-life of the product. This review provides an extensive list of UV-A and blue LED applications on possible microbial inactivation and plant defense mechanisms, affecting quality and shelf-life extension of various food products. In addition, the benefits, engineering aspects of LED reactors for treating liquid foods and associated problems of this technology are summarized. This innovative food surface decontamination technology, with or without exogenous photosensitizers, can be used by food processing industries due to maintaining sensory and nutritional properties while exhibiting antibacterial inactivation. Further research is needed to fully realize their potential and to investigate whether the combined or hurdle technology affects antibacterial efficacy or food quality changes. In addition, an optimized and improved LED illumination system will be developed and applied extensively in the food industry by determining the possible factors needed to increase microbial inactivation rate, maintain quality and safety of food products.
生产或加工食品通常会受到微生物的自然腐败和污染。这种情况在食品供应链中时有发生,导致大量的食品浪费和消费者安全受损。发光二极管技术是一种新型的非热表面消毒方法,可用于降低微生物活性和延长产品保质期。本综述广泛列举了紫外线-A 和蓝光 LED 在可能的微生物灭活和植物防御机制方面的应用,这些应用影响着各种食品的质量和货架期的延长。此外,还总结了用于处理液态食品的 LED 反应器的优点、工程方面以及该技术的相关问题。无论是否使用外源光敏剂,这种创新的食品表面净化技术都能保持感官和营养特性,同时表现出抗菌灭活作用,因此可用于食品加工行业。要充分发挥其潜力,并研究组合技术或障碍技术是否会影响抗菌效果或食品质量变化,还需要进一步的研究。此外,还将通过确定提高微生物灭活率、保持食品质量和安全所需的可能因素,开发优化和改进的 LED 照明系统,并将其广泛应用于食品行业。

The use of light-emitting diode technologies, a novel non-thermal surface disinfection method, can be used in order to reduce microbial activity and improve shelf-life of the product. This review provides an extensive list of UV-A and blue LED applications on possible microbial inactivation and plant defense mechanisms, affecting quality and shelf-life extension of various food products. In addition, the benefits, engineering aspects of LED reactors for treating liquid foods and associated problems of this technology are summarized. This innovative food surface decontamination technology, with or without exogenous photosensitizers, can be used by food processing industries due to maintaining sensory and nutritional properties while exhibiting antibacterial inactivation. Further research is needed to fully realize their potential and to investigate whether the combined or hurdle technology affects antibacterial efficacy or food quality changes. In addition, an optimized and improved LED illumination system will be developed and applied extensively in the food industry by determining the possible factors needed to increase microbial inactivation rate, maintain quality and safety of food products.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12134,"journal":{"name":"Food and Bioproducts Processing","volume":"148 ","pages":"Pages 436-455"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142529677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to produce oat-milk by using the ohmic heating (OH) system and to compare some quality properties of this milk with the milk produced by conventional methods. The solution containing oats was heated from 20 °C to 75 °C using 3 different voltage-gradients, and then oat-milk was obtained by applying a series of processes. It has been determined that as the voltage gradient increased during heating in oat milk production, the processing time shortens, and this time was 482 seconds in the conventional heating process. The effective electrical conductivity values increased as the temperature increased in the OH process during the production of oat-milk and these values vary between 0.13 and 0.41 S/m. Also, some quality characteristics of oat milk such as color and total phenolic content were better preserved in milk obtained by the OH process than conventional heating process. In addition, oat milk obtained by OH process had higher apparent viscosity at all temperatures.

Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs)-assisted cryogenic freezing integrated with MNPs combined microwave thawing (NNMT) of salmon fillets has been studied. Comparison to size for conventionally frozen, the ice crystals of MNPs-assisted cryogenic freezing treatment exhibited a smaller diameter equivalent (2.37 ± 0.07 μm) and were uniformly distributed, while isotope H/D exchange revealed more hydrogen bonding between protein and water molecules. The NNMT treatment exhibited a reduced degree of protein aggregation, with the sizes of myosin, actin, and desmin aggregates ranging from 3.4 to 30.6 nm, 1.0–13.6 nm, and 0.7–4.7 nm, respectively. The NNMT treatment had a more stable protein secondary and tertiary structure, as well as an enhanced protein solubility and the smallest particle size. In addition, the myofibrillar protein content (125 ± 24.7 mg/mL), Ca2+-ATPase activity (4.25 ± 0.15 μmolPi/mg/h), calpain activity (0.14 ± 0.03 U/g), and cathepsin B activity (0.51 ± 0.06 U/g) in NNMT treatment were higher. In conclusion, the NNMT treatment reduced the impact of freeze denaturation on salmon fillet proteins. The structural changes observed of the three proteins support the hypothesis that NNMT stabilizes the main myofibrillar proteins and thus maintain quality of the salmon fillets.
