Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is highly nutritious and each part of the fruit viz., peel, pulp, and seeds are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, antioxidants, sugars, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The combination of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber makes dragon fruit a valuable addition to a balanced diet. It can potentially be used in antidiabetic, anticancerous, and nutraceutical preparations. Dragon fruit is also a rich source of betalain, oligosaccharides, fats with a high proportion of essential fatty acids, and pigments like β-carotene and lycopene. Owing to its phytochemical and nutraceutical potential dragon fruit can play a promising role in developing functional food and value-added products. Betalains are the principal phytochemicals in dragon fruits that consist of betacyanins and betaxanthins. The prebiotic principle in dragon fruits is oligosaccharides, which stimulate the growth of beneficial gut microbiota, viz., Bifidobacterium and Faecalibacterium; improve the immune system by increasing immunoglobulin A and G; preventing intestinal diseases like colon cancer. The seeds are rich in essential fatty acids principally omega-3 and omega-6 and tocopherols with a potential for utilization in nutraceutical preparations. Dragon fruit extract can also be used to prepare fermented beverages and naturally carbonated probiotic drinks. The phytochemicals in the various extracts including betalains, flavonoids, and phenolics can be encapsulated for targeted delivery. The current study is a comprehensive review of the nutritional and bioactive potential, and health benefits of dragon fruits exploring its possible functional food applications and value-added products.

To explore effective strategies for mitigating the adverse effects of acid rain (AR) on aromatic rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in South China, a field experiment was conducted in 2022 and 2023 using the cultivars Meixiangzhan 2 and Nanjingxiangzhan. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on aromatic rice under AR stress conditions. The experimental treatments included simulated AR, AR combined with ABA (AR+ABA), and deionized water as a control (CK). The results revealed that the AR+ABA treatment significantly enhanced the photosynthetic characteristics, yield, and quality of aromatic rice compared to the AR treatment alone. This treatment also reduced malondialdehyde content and increased antioxidant activity in rice leaves, thereby improving AR resistance. Furthermore, the AR+ABA treatment boosted the content of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) by upregulating the expression of 2-AP synthesis-related genes. In conclusion, exogenous ABA application effectively alleviated the negative impacts of AR on photosynthesis, yield, and quality while enhancing 2-AP content in aromatic rice grains.

Millets, known for their rich nutritional profile and ability to withstand challenging growing conditions, are receiving more attention due to their health benefits, especially in blood glucose regulation and metabolic health. They are functional foods with the potential to promote sustainable agriculture and enhance health because of their high fibre content, vitamins, and minerals. This review examines the nutritional and bioactive properties of millets, emphasising substances with anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and antioxidant benefits. However, millets also contain anti-nutritional factors that may hinder nutrient absorption. These effects are mitigated, and nutritional bioavailability is increased by processing methods including fermentation, soaking, and sprouting. Studies on millet consumption conducted both in vivo and in vitro have demonstrated promising results for gut microbiota modulation, lipid metabolism, and glycemic control, confirming the potential of millet in treating diabetes and other illnesses. Processing and ingredient combinations affect the glycemic index (GI) of millet-based foods, providing opportunities for developing healthier food solutions. However, the development of millet products is hampered by issues with texture, shelf life, and consumer acceptance. Overcoming these limitations through research and technical innovation is crucial for promoting millets as a modern dietary staple, boosting public health, and advancing sustainable food system.

The presence of polar and non-polar organochlorides, as well as inorganic chlorides, along the palm oil milling process were determined by quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR). Determination of these contaminants is important as crude edible oil feedstocks of high quality could facilitate subsequent refining process to produce good quality refined edible oils. The exact point in processing at which these contaminants were found could help in the determining strategies needed to mitigate them. The qNMR method for the determination of chlorides was found to be linear with good regression coefficient. The concentrations of organochlorides along palm milling processes were between 1.46 – 2.64 ppm in the final product while inorganic chlorides were not present although they were detected at the early stages of palm oil milling to be between 2.41 – 72.05 ppm across the mills studied. The low amount of total chlorides in the final product of palm oil milling rendered it a good feedstock for subsequent refining to produce refined palm oil of good quality.

In this work, a glassy carbon electrode modified with magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (MgAl-LDH) was proposed to enhance the precision of hydroxy-sanshools quantification by mitigating polyphenol interference commonly found in the Zanthoxylum bungeanum pericarp during voltammetric assays. It was demonstrated that the MgAl-LDH-modified glassy carbon electrode effectively avoided the impact of polyphenols on hydroxy-sanshools by recovering their differential pulse voltammetric responses. Furthermore, the optimized method successfully quantified total hydroxy-sanshools in the linear range of 0.20–100.21 mg/g with good sensitivity (limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.055 mg/L and 0.18 mg/L, respectively), and with recovery ranged from 95.66 % to 108.20 %. The intra-day and interday relative standard deviations were in the range of 0.43–3.13 % and 1.48–4.56 %, respectively. Additionally, the practicality of the developed approach was validated by quantifying hydroxy-sanshools in commercial Zanthoxylum bungeanum pericarp-related products, with results closely matching those obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography. These data reveals that the developed MgAl-LDH offers a novel strategy for modifying electrodes with high selectivity for the rapid monitoring of pungent substances in Zanthoxylum bungeanum pericarp.

To investigate the molecular mechanisms influencing sheep meat quality and muscle fiber characteristics under different feeding regimes, biceps femoris (BF) muscle samples were collected from a traditional grazing group (TGG) and a concentrated feeding group (CFG). The meat quality indicators, muscle fiber characteristics and proteome of sheep under different feeding regimes were studied. It was found that CFG improved growth performance and carcass traits (increased final body weight by 10.8 %, average daily gain by 30.8 %, carcass weight by 14.8 %, carcass length by 9.6 % and dressing percentage by 10.6 % respectively), reduced meat quality reducing meat quality (increased shear force by 11.6 %) in Sunit sheep, as well as reducing the proportion of oxidative muscle fibers in the BF. 82 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) were identified. Bioinformatics analysis of the DAPs revealed reduced Ca^2 + release in TGG meat (PVALB and CASQ2 have higher activity), decreased activity of glycolysis-related enzymes (ALDOA, ALDOB, and ALDOC), and higher expression levels of proteins involved in oxidative muscle fiber formation (ACTB, ACTN1, TNNT1, TNNC1, MYL4 and MYL3). These findings suggest that TGG meat exhibited lower glycolysis activity and a higher proportion of oxidative muscle fibers compared to CFG meat. These findings provide a foundation for deeper comprehension of the molecular processes through which proteins regulate the quality of meat and the characteristics of muscle fibers.

The Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) is an Amazonian oilseed widely recognized for its exceptional nutritional properties and economic significance. This study provides a comprehensive scientific prospection of Brazil nut-derived products and by-products, focusing on their chemical, bioactive, and sensory characteristics, as well as their application in food formulations. A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Springer, and Science Direct using relevant keywords. The analysis identified the main Brazil nut-derived food products that have been investigated, including oils, flours, water-soluble extracts, and plant-based beverages, all of which contribute to the development of functional foods. The reviewed literature highlights the high selenium content, antioxidants, and unsaturated fatty acids in Brazil nut derivatives, reinforcing their nutritional and functional value. Researches indicate the potential of Brazil nut-based beverages as dairy alternatives, with proven stability and sensory acceptability. Innovative applications of by-products, such as defatted flours and nut cake extracts, support circular bioeconomy solutions. This study underscores the growing relevance of Brazil nut derivatives in the development of health-promoting and sustainable food products, aligning with global trends in food innovation and green processes.

Several approaches have been proposed to support the panel test in virgin olive oil classification, but none of them is currently applied in olive oil companies. Aim of this study was the robust application of a chemometric model in a big olive oil company. The application on 244 samples of the PCA-LDA model developed in 2019, based on volatile profile by HS-SPME-GC-MS, gave unsatisfactory results, pointing out critical issues relating to the training-set, variable selection and validation. Therefore, a new t-test-FwS-LDA model was developed; it was based on a very wide dataset (approx. 1800 samples from 6 different production years) and on an algorithm for a stepwise selection of variables. The crucial role of the production year has been proven and included in the model. Ten volatile molecules were thus selected coming from both the lipoxygenase pathway and several virgin olive oil sensory defects. The new model was two-fold validated with 53 and 273 samples coming from production years belonging and not belonging to the training-set, respectively, with very satisfactory results (>90 % and 80 % correct classification, respectively). Finally, the study indicated that for routinary application of the model, year-by-year updating of training-set and variable selection is required.

Finally, the study indicated that for routinary application of the model, year-by-year updating of training-set and variable selection is required.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Composition and Analysis","volume":"141 ","pages":"Article 107362"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143419121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adulteration of bissap calyces and juices (‘sobolo’) with sorghum leaves presents a potential decrease in nutritional benefits to consumers. This study investigated the detection of bissap calyces and juices adulteration with sorghum leaves using near-infrared (NIR) and ultraviolet-visible (VIS/NIR) spectroscopy. Eight samples of bissap calyces-sorghum leaf formulations were prepared using eight concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100 %) w/w. Each sample was prepared in cut, whole and powder forms, respectively. The samples were then used to prepare bissap juices in triplicates. The bissap calyces-sorghum leaf formulations were analyzed with NIRS, while bissap juices were analyzed with VIS/NIR spectroscopy. Results from the physicochemical analysis showed that the unadulterated samples had lower pH and higher (brix, titratable acidity, and total phenolic content), with no intense color change for all forms when compared to adulterated samples. PCA showed no difference between adulterated and unadulterated samples based on forms and concentrations. LDA showed a 100 % classification for all cut samples and some misclassifications for whole and powder samples for both NIR and VIS/NIR spectroscopy. Also, there were observable differences between adulterated and unadulterated juices produced from cut forms. PLSR models predicted different concentrations of adulterants present in both bissap calyces and juices. Bissap juices adulterated with sorghum leaves are not easily detectable and have reduced concentrations of some beneficial nutritional compounds present in sobolo. NIR and VIS/NIR spectroscopy, combined with chemometric techniques such as PCA, LDA, and PLSR, as a rapid detection technique, showed good potential for sobolo authentication.

This study introduces a dispersive micro solid phase extraction (DµSPE) method utilizing NiO nanoflowers for the analysis of zinc in food, environmental, and wastewater samples, employing Inductively Coupled Plasma- Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The synthesized NiO nanoflower-like nanoparticle was characterized through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Additionally, various parameters including pH, sample volume, adsorbent quantity, and extraction time were investigated to optimize the NiO nanoflower-based SPME (NiO nanoflower-SPME) method. The analytical performance metrics, specifically the limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), and relative standard deviation (RSD), were determined to be 0.77 µg L⁻¹, 2.56 µg L⁻¹, and 3.9 %, respectively. Furthermore, addition-recovery studies conducted on real samples, along with analyses of standard reference materials, were performed to validate the accuracy of the method. With these results, it was concluded that the NiO nanoflower-SPME method is crucial for the analysis of zinc in real samples due to the fact that the complex matrix environment complicates the analysis.
