The study examined the quality of cricket protein powder (CPP) dried using microwave-assisted spouted bed drying (MSBD) and oven drying (OD). Two types of crickets, Acheta domesticus (AD) and Gryllus bimaculatus (GB), were used. Results showed that MSBD produced CPP with higher protein and mineral content and lower fat compared to OD (p < 0.05). MSBD also enhanced functional qualities like solubility, foaming capacity, emulsion ability, water retention capacity, and digestibility. CPP treated with MSBD exhibited significantly increased phenolic content and antioxidant activity (p < 0.05). Cricket species also influenced CPP quality. MSBD-produced protein from AD had a lighter color and superior functional qualities, including solubility, foam stability, and protein digestibility. Conversely, GB-produced MSBD protein showed higher protein and calcium levels, as well as better foam capacity. The faster and more even heating of MSBD, along with its shorter drying time, helps preserve heat-sensitive nutrients and bioactive components. This explains the higher quantities of protein, minerals, phenolics, and antioxidants in MSBD samples. Overall, this study shows that MSBD is a promising way to make high-quality protein ingredient from a sustainable insect protein source that have better antioxidant properties and better functionality.

Many studies have demonstrated the health and functional benefits of bioactive compounds (bioactives), as delivery of these ingredients to the body have been conducted by different techniques, such as enriched foods, supplements, etc. Among these, chewing gum (CWG) could be a unique candidate as delivery matrix of bioactives since presents some inherent benefits, including protective feature of its matrix as encapsulants; improving concentration, memory and alertness; stress reduction, weight manage, easy to use anytime and anywhere, and desired by consumers, especially children. Moreover, the specific style of CWG consumption, i.e. continued chewing without swallowing provides a unique opportunity to local and systemic delivery of bioactives in a sustained release manner, and the stability and activity of bioactives could be controlled by changes in the ingredients and manufacturing procedure, or using encapsulation technique. This review deals with introduction of bioactives in terms of chemical structure, health benefits, limitations for practical effectiveness, followed by highlighting the role of CWG as a delivery system of bioactives. Taking these into account, CWG composition and manufacturing procedures were reviewed, and developments in vitro delivery of encapsulated bioactives by CWG matrix were discussed. In this regard, more studies should be performed to monitor the release behavior of different bioactives from CWG as affected by various factors. Finally, further studies direct us to produce an optimum CWG formulation providing targeted outputs in line with consumer interests, namely good taste, practical efficiency, low price and lack of environment pollution.

Soybeans are rich in protein but have limited food applications due to their undesirable volatile compounds, negatively affecting their flavor and consumer acceptance. This study aimed to extract lipids and volatile compounds from soybean flour using supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) and investigate the impact of extraction conditions on the properties of soybean flour, including particle size distribution, composition, color, and rheological and textural qualities. Similar lipid extraction yields (∼20 %) were obtained with SCCO2 and conventional hexane extractions. The volatile compound concentration of the soybean flour was reduced after SCCO2 extraction (0.63–1.00 µg/g) as compared to hexane extraction (1.44–1.68 µg/g). The results showed that SCCO2-treated soybean flour showed smaller particle sizes (<250 µm, ∼70 %), improved protein purity upon protein extraction, and brighter color as compared to hexane-extracted flour. Additionally, in comparison to untreated soybean flour, SEM images revealed a more disrupted and rough structure in defatted soybean flour. Overall, the presented SCCO2 approach can improve the aroma of soybean flour while achieving similar lipid extraction yields with conventional hexane extraction, all without the use of toxic organic solvents.

The food industry by-product causes a negative environmental impact and reduces resource efficiency and productivity. Although these by-products have been used only for animal feed purposes in the past, there is an emerging trend to use them in human food as well. Brewers’ spent grain (BSG) is a proper example of such industrial by-products; it constitutes about 85 % of the total by-products generated in the brewing industry. With high amounts of fiber and protein, BSG can serve as a formulation ingredient in human nutrition. Accordingly, many studies have tried to investigate the possibility of using it in different food products. Overall, BSG is a promising source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antithrombotic properties. Enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, and extraction conditions can be optimized to enhance the functional attributes of BSG for food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical applications. This review elaborated on the possibility of using BSG within bakery, pasta, and cereal-based formulations and its effect on such products' quality and nutritional characteristics. In addition, the functional ingredients of BSG and their biological properties are briefly reviewed. The research results suggest that incorporating BSG into various bakery products can enhance their nutritional value, but the optimal level of addition varies depending on the specific product. Careful optimization is required to balance an improved nutritional profile and acceptable technological and sensory qualities. However, the challenge facing the high-scale utilization of BSG ingredients is the variability of raw material composition. Therefore, more study is needed to develop innovative technologies for integrated and comprehensive valorization of BSG.

In the present study, the antioxidant potential and angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of cow's milk paneer supplemented with pastes (10 % of milk) from indigenous date varieties were monitored during storage. The prepared paneer was also evaluated for its physicochemical characteristics, microbiological and sensorial quality during storage period (0–12 days, 5 °C). It was observed that the ESFs of Ajwa paste showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher antioxidant potential and ACE-inhibition than other investigated date pastes. Moreover, all of the investigated paneer showed significantly (p < 0.05) increasing trend concerning sensory evaluation until 9 days of storage. The paneer supplemented with date pastes showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) (3150.70–5776.00 μmol equivalent of Trolox (TE)/g of ethanol soluble fraction (ESF)) and DPPH (1634.70–1645.70 μmol TE/g ESF)/ABTS (83.26–102.43 mg TE /100 g ESF) radical scavenging activity than control paneer. Moreover, paneer (3 days of storage) supplemented with Ajwa paste showed significantly (p < 0.05) high ACE-inhibition (66 %) and lower inhibitory concentration (IC)50 (9 mg/mL) as compared to all other investigated samples. Hence, it may be concluded that the paneer supplemented with date pastes offers considerable antioxidant potential and ACE-inhibitory activity.

This study aimed to give insights into low-carbon vegetable import strategies for Aruba, a Dutch Caribbean island. Our selected products were potatoes, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and green beans. The products originated from 13 different countries, and 25 product-country combinations were identified. The system boundaries were from the farm until arrival at the supermarket. We identified actual maritime transport routes, and calculated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of passenger aircrafts flying from Amsterdam to Aruba. Vegetables imported by air had significantly higher GHG emissions (4.2–8.3 kg CO2eq per kg) than products imported by sea (0.4–2.3 kg CO2eq per kg). GHG emissions of road transport generally contributed more than those of other life cycle stages, except when products showed a high contribution of agriculture. Although sea transport was calculated with much detail, it usually did not contribute much to the GHG emissions. We recommend Life Cycle Practitioners to consider aircraft characteristics when calculating GHG emissions of air transport, and to include the weight of the 80 kg AKE container, used for cooled airfreight, when allocating impacts between passengers and freight. For this case study, GHG emissions of specific passenger aircrafts always resulted in lower GHG emissions compared to generic calculations.

Asparagus fibre recovered from agricultural waste stream can be valorised as a natural ingredient for fibre enrichment in food products. This study investigated the effects of asparagus fibre on the 3D printing performance of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions as edible inks. Emulsion gels were prepared by either varying the fibre concentration in the aqueous phase or varying the volume fraction of the oil phase. Printability, rheological properties, and microstructure of the samples were systematically evaluated. Our results show increasing fibre concentration (up to 9.9 %w/w) significantly improved 3D printing performance of the inks, which was attributed to their enhanced rheological properties. Interestingly, reducing the oil volume fraction from 72 to 66 %v/v (i.e., fibre concentration was kept at 9.9 %w/w) did not detrimentally influence the 3D printing quality. Microstructural analysis of the emulsions revealed that increasing fibre concentration led to smaller size and different surface morphology of the oil droplets. Fibre particles in the aqueous phase may hinder oil droplet movement, stabilizing emulsions during 3D printing. Our findings give new insights into the development of edible 3D-printed food products via fibre enrichment and oil reduction.
从农业废料流中回收的芦笋纤维可作为一种天然成分用于丰富食品中的纤维。本研究调查了芦笋纤维对作为食用油墨的水包油(O/W)乳液的三维打印性能的影响。通过改变水相中的纤维浓度或油相的体积分数来制备乳液凝胶。对样品的可印刷性、流变特性和微观结构进行了系统评估。我们的结果表明,增加纤维浓度(高达 9.9 %w/w)可显著提高油墨的三维打印性能,这归功于其流变特性的增强。有趣的是,将油的体积分数从 72%v/v 降低到 66%v/v(即纤维浓度保持在 9.9%w/w)并没有对 3D 打印质量产生不利影响。乳液的微观结构分析表明,纤维浓度的增加会导致油滴的尺寸变小,表面形态发生变化。水相中的纤维颗粒可能会阻碍油滴的移动,从而在 3D 打印过程中稳定乳剂。我们的研究结果为通过富集纤维和减少油分来开发可食用的 3D 打印食品提供了新的思路。

Even though oat-based milk substitutes offer numerous nutritional benefits, one of their major disadvantages is the low protein content. To overcome this issue, the impact of the decanter process on the protein yield was investigated. A design of experiments with 30 experimental runs was performed to determine the influence of acceleration, feed, feed temperature, inner weir diameter, and differential speed on the separation process. The results were used to calculate the ideal parameters. Accordingly, an acceleration of 4,000 g, a feed of 20 kg/h, a temperature of 20 °C, an inner weir diameter of 68 mm, and a differential speed of 180 min−1 resulted in the highest theoretical protein in dry matter content (14.22 % w/w) corresponding to a protein yield of 98.2 %. The validation experiments with the calculated parameters led to a centrate with a protein in dry matter content of 11.63 ± 0.14 % (w/w), an absolute protein content of 1.00 ± 0.01 % (w/w), and a protein yield of 81.3 ± 1.70 %. The centrate was free of dark particles confirming an adequate separation of undesired solids. SDS-PAGE further proved that no protein fraction was completely separated. In conclusion, the parameters of the decanter process should be set carefully in order to achieve a high protein yield.

Partially defatted chia flour (DCF) is a valuable food ingredient in the context of a circular economy, with the potential to improve the nutrient and bioactive contents of gluten-free foodstuff. Thus, this study assessed the effects of interactions between DCF and water content (W) on the physical and sensory properties of gluten-free bread (GFB) and defined, using the response surface method, the composition of formulations that enable quality optimization. A rotatable central composite design was used to assess the main and interaction effects of DCF (ranging from 0 to 28% on a flour basis (fb) and W (ranging from 100 to 200% fb) on the physical properties and consumer linking of rice flour based GFB. The resulting models indicated that higher DCF or W levels diminished the bread quality. However, different W and up to 17.2% DCF can be used to prepare bread with high consumer liking (scores ≥7 for all assessed characteristics, on a scale of 10). The formulation prepared with 0% DCF and 135.5% W (fb) had the highest degree of liking (varying from 8.3 to 9.0). However, when incorporating up to 9.8% DCF and 135.5% W, a high liking can be maintained (scores 8.0 to 8.5 for all characteristics). Acceptable GFB with up to 17.2% DCF in the formulation can be obtained if the W content is adjusted (135 to 139.7% fb). Incorporating 17.2% DCF doubles the fiber content of the GFB. Therefore, DCF is an alternative ingredient to obtain nutritionally improved and acceptable GFB.

Atlantic wakame (AW) and sea lettuce (SL) are edible seaweeds commonly produced in Asia and Europe, typically consumed as fresh or dried biomass. Because of the short shelf life, developing new post-harvest treatments, such as the extraction of bioactive compounds, is essential for establishing reliable macroalgae supply chains for food applications. This study aims to develop a sustainable and functional seaweed-based food ingredient rich in bioactive compounds for functional food applications. The results indicated that ultrasound-assisted extraction using 70% ethanol for 10 min was optimal for both SL (410±23 mg of gallic acid equivalent [GAE] per kg) and AW (666±63 mg GAE/kg). Both extracts exhibited chemical antioxidant activity and inhibited the protection of human plasma against chemically induced oxidation. SL extract did not exhibit free radical scavenging activity (DPPH). Importantly, no cytotoxicity (IC50>250 µg/mL) was observed in human-derived THP-1, HUVEC, HT-29, and HepG2 cell lines, ensuring the relative safety of these extracts for potential food technology applications. AW and SL extracts (100 µg/mL) reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species generation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged THP-1 cells by 66% and 30%, respectively, highlighting the higher antioxidant activity of AW extract. AW and SL extracts did not modulate TNF-α and IL-6 secretion to show anti-inflammatory activity. Gummies infused with AW and SL extracts had a higher total phenolic content than commercial products, but their antioxidant activity was lower. Sensory evaluation revealed that gummies containing seaweed extracts received lower scores for colour, taste, overall impression, and purchase intention than those without extracts.
