Abstract Short-wave infrared radiation (SIR) was used to improve the quality of peanut oil (PO) and peanut meal protein (PMI) in this study. The results showed that SIR roasting was beneficial to increase the yield and improve the quality and flavor of PO. The oxidative stability index (OSI) was improved, the contents of tocopherols and polyphenols increased and the contents of benzo (a) pyrene and polar substances decreased. Besides, the characteristic flavor substances were detected but not for the burnt smell. The effects of SIR on the structural and functional properties of PMI were investigated. It was found that SIR roasting could induce partial denaturation of PMI, thus improving its functional properties such as solubility, emulsifying and foaming, but did not involve the change of secondary structure. It was confirmed that SIR is a potential and available pre-roasting method to improve the comprehensive utilization of peanut resources.

Abstract Mushrooms are functional food that substantially has both nutritional and medicinal properties. The mushroom types like button, oyster, shiitake and enoki are consumed worldwide either directly in food or fortified with other food products. The principal purpose of fortification is to maintain the intrinsic properties of the food like taste, appearance, and texture and enhance their nutritional and mineral values. The level of fortification depends on the factors like safety, compatibility, and cost considerations. This paper reviews the possibilities of fortified food products with different mushrooms. The usage of mushrooms, their nutritional profile, suggested composition of mushroom powder and enhanced nutrition of fortified food products like bread, biscuits, cookies, noodles, pasta, soup etc., are discussed. Additionally, mushrooms are valuable material for preparing chutney powders, nuggets, jam, jellies, and the production of indigenous cosmetic items actively uses mushrooms’ bioactive chemicals.

Abstract Macroporous resins are employed for the purification of polyphenolic extracts. However, the relationship between the adsorption and desorption and the textural properties remains unexplored. Thus, we evaluated the textural properties of HP-20, XAD-16 and SP-825 resins and their impact on adsorption and desorption of specific polyphenols like gallic acid, epigallocatechin, and procyanidin B2. The HP-20 resin exhibited a type II isotherm with macroporous structure, while XAD-16 and SP-825 resins displayed type IV isotherms, typically associated with mesoporous materials. The HP-20 resin demonstrated superior adsorption capacity and rupture points for epigallocatechin (2.37 mg/g, 124 min) and procyanidin B2 (1.29 mg/g, 136 min) compared to SP-825 and XAD-16. Contrary, the SP-825 resin exhibited the highest adsorption capacity (5.34 mg/g) and rupture point (68 min) for gallic acid. However, the desorption was more efficient when HP-20 resin was used for all specific polyphenols. Therefore, for an efficient purification process is necessary to consider the chemical structure of the polyphenol and the textural properties.

Abstract The total quantity of food waste in Europe has been estimated at around 88 million tons per year. About 42 % is thrown out by households, of which 60 % would be avoidable by increasing users’ awareness. The present paper aims to develop an integrated system to reduce household food waste and improve the end-users’ lifestyle in terms of health and well-being. A smart fridge able to track the stocks, a web application and a set of related services have been designed and prototyped to guide the user in the proper storage of food and support him/her in purchase planning and food preparation. The system was positively evaluated in terms of usability, it is use contributes to both environmental and economic benefits, leading respectively to a reduction of environmental impacts of about 21 % and a yearly savings amounting up to 285 €, in comparison with a traditional system.

Abstract Currently, the industrial production of γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) was mainly based on microbial fermentation, but the decolorization technology still needs to be improved. Therefore, in this study, the optimal decolorization conditions and efficiencies were investigated. As the result, D4006 was an ideal resin for the decolorization of γ-PGA fermentation broth. The optimal decolorization pH value and temperature were pH 3 and 40 °C, respectively; ultrafiltration differential pressure, temperature and time were 0.2 MPa, 40 °C, and 6 h, respectively. Moreover, the combination of D4006 (3 %) resin on the basis of ultrafiltration had a better decolorization effect on γ-PGA fermentation broth, and the decolorization rate reached 96.8 %.

Abstract The present study was focused on microwave-roasting (300–600 W for 5–15 min) on the quality attributes of black pepper. The increase in roasting power and time decreased the lightness, L * (51.85–25.64), and a visible color change from medium light to dark was observed. Roasting reduced the powder density (bulk density – 0.51–0.41 g/cm 3 ; tapped density – 0.70–0.53 g/cm 3 ), flowability, and crystallinity and showed a higher Hausner’s ratio (1.29–1.42), carr’s index (22.43–29.38), compressibility index (0.22–0.30), cohesion index (13.96–34.80 g mm/g), and caking strength (5225.79–12040.44 g mm). All the samples showed stable flow, and the stability was in the range of 1–1.11. Sample roasted at lower roasting levels had higher antioxidant properties viz. , phenolic content (36.20–79.62 mg GAE/100 g), flavonoid content (350.52–566.45 mg QE/100 g), % DPPH scavenging activity (53.97–85.12 %), and ABTS assay (2.33–4.81 mmol TE/100 g), whereas the higher roasting conditions reduced the TFC and % DPPH inhibition. The principal component analysis (PCA) and a simple least square method (SLSM) with maximum desirability were used to develop the correlation and optimize the roasting condition, respectively. Results showed that the roasting time had a prominent effect on different quality attributes compared to roasting power, and the optimum roasting condition for BP is 300 W, 15 min.

Abstract In this study, the heating penetration in salmon muscle tissue was evaluated during ohmic heating (OH) at 20 kHz. The electrical conductivities (ECs) in five muscle-tissue sections (fat content from 7.85 to 21.15 %) of salmon were measured under different conditions of applied frequency (50 Hz–20 kHz), temperature (5–70 °C), and direction of the electric current (parallel or series) in relation to the muscle arrangement. Significant differences in the ECs of the five sections were found, especially at high frequencies. A lower fat content and the parallel current direction resulted in higher ECs than a higher fat content and the series current direction. Empirical equations were derived to determine the EC values of all five sections of the salmon fillet based on their temperature dependence. The cooking losses after OH processes were low in the order of parallel < series < minced. These results are of potential value for the design of the OH process for salmon-based products.

Abstract Crops’ health is affected by a varied range of diseases. Convenient and precise diagnosis plays a substantial role in preventing the loss of crop quality. In the past decade, deep learning (DL), particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has presented extraordinary performance for diverse applications involving crop disease (CD) detection. In this study, a comparison is drawn for the three pre-trained state-of-art architectures, namely, EfficientNet B0, ResNet50, and VGG19. An ensembled CNN has also been generated from the mentioned CNNs, and its performance has been evaluated over the original coloured, grey-scale, and segmented dataset. K-means clustering has been applied with six clusters to generate the segmented dataset. The dataset is categorized into three classes (two diseased and one healthy class) of bean crop leaves images. The model performance has been assessed by employing statistical analysis relying on the accuracy, recall, F1-score, precision, and confusion matrix. The results have shown that the performance of ensembled CNNs’ has been better than the individual pre-trained DL models. The ensembling of CNNs gave an F1-score of 0.95, 0.93, and 0.97 for coloured, grey-scale, and segmented datasets, respectively. The predicted classification accuracy is measured as: 0.946, 0.938, and 0.971 for coloured, grey-scale, and segmented datasets, respectively. It is observed that the ensembling of CNNs performed better than the individual pre-trained CNNs.

Abstract The herbal tea market is projected to grow at an annual rate of 4.8 %, with the discrimination of these products appearing as an issue of food quality and safety. In this study the Vis/NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was applied for discriminating five popular herbal teas (chamomile, boldo, lemon grass, carqueja, fennel) by using powdered samples. Dynamic sampling was applied for measuring the spectral signatures and different spectral pre-treatments were evaluated aiming at improving the discrimination accuracy. The Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) achieved high prediction accuracies (77.8–100 %), specificities (89.4–100 %) and sensitivities (66.1–100 %), with detrending and object-wise standardization pre-treatments correctly discriminating 100 % of the samples during the external validation. The Vis/NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometric analysis has great potential to discriminate powdered herbal teas, providing a non-destructive, fast, safe and chemical-free solution for automated quality control procedures in industries of tea processing.
