Camellia oil (CAO) is a high-quality edible vegetable oil, commonly known as “Oriental olive oil," with medical value and biological activity, but easily adulterated. Currently, we developed a method that combines Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) with machine learning for the effective identification of camellia oil. SERS is essential in this context because it significantly enhances the sensitivity and specificity of the detection process, allowing for the identification of even minor adulterations that traditional methods may overlook. We employed SERS spectra of both pure and adulterated camellia oil on an NPAg sheet coated with 4-thiobenzonitrile (4MBN) at a concentration of 0.02% for the machine learning analysis. The utilization of 4MBN for signal generation within the Raman silent region further enhances the stability of spectral acquisition and ensures more accurate results. The k nearest neighbors (KNN) model exhibited superior performance, achieving a test set accuracy of 97.24%. Consequently, the NPAg sheet@[email protected]%ER strategy, designed to amplify compositional differences in edible oils, emerges as an effective tool for rapidly verifying the authenticity of such oils.

In this study, three-layer films based on gelatin/gelatin-dextran/gelatin with different concentrations of functional fillers (cinnamaldehyde and α-tocopherol) were fabricated by using the layer-by-layer casting method to preserve refrigerated scallop adductor muscle. The films demonstrated excellent bonding, with functional fillers creating a porous cross-section, a slightly rough surface, and increased hydrophobicity while maintaining thermal stability. The crystallinity, water contact angle, thickness, opacity, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial activity of the films were increased, while the water vapor permeability and mechanical properties were decreased with increasing concentrations of the functional fillers. The film with 1.2% active fillers showed over 82% free radical scavenging activity and significant inhibition zones (24.7 ± 1.2 to 43.9 ± 1.8 mm) against five foodborne pathogens and spoilage bacteria. Both cinnamaldehyde and α-tocopherol demonstrated controlled release properties in four food simulants, with the maximum release and minimum release times observed in 95% ethanol (9.0 h) and distilled water (2.0 h), respectively. Overall, the introduction of 1.2% of active fillers into the films significantly enhanced the chemical and microbiological stability of refrigerated scallops and prolonged their shelf life by 6 days. Furthermore, the developed films showed excellent controlled release, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, making them potential candidates for preserving seafood.

In this pilot study Tenebrio molitor larvae were fed with two residues (olive leaf meal and spent Pleurotus ostreatus substrate meal) and wheat flour (control). Carrot was used to provide a source of water and carotenoids. The objectives were to compare the effect of residues on growth and proximate composition of the flours and their carotenoid profile, by providing carotenoids and/or affecting their absorption by larvae. Additionally, the carotenoid bioaccessible content in Tenebrio molitor powder was evaluated. The powder obtained from larvae fed with the residues had a similar proximal composition to the control and residue meals tested did not affect negatively larval survival nor growth. Larvae accumulated significant amounts of carotenoids, especially when fed with olive leaf meal, followed by spent Pleurotus ostreatus substrate meal, even though the latter lacked detectable amounts of carotenoids. This suggests that the composition of the fungal substrate may favour a higher carotenoid uptake mechanism in mealworms compared to control. The colourless carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene exhibited the highest carotenoid bioaccessible content, followed by the provitamin A carotenoids β-carotene and α-carotene. Summarizing, T. molitor fed on agri-food residues can accumulate bioavailable and health-promoting carotenoids, that can contribute to alleviating global problems such as vitamin A deficiency.

This study investigated the novel application of daucosterol, a natural saponin from eleocharis dulcis peel, in stabilizing emulsion gels with γ-oryzanol. While daucosterol has known health benefits, its ability to stabilize emulsion gels had not yet been explored. This research examined the emulsification properties, microstructure, rheological behavior, stability, and intermolecular interactions of the resulting emulsion gels. Results showed that daucosterol effectively stabilized the emulsion gels, forming structured networks at higher concentrations. FT-IR analysis revealed significant intermolecular hydrogen bonding between daucosterol and γ-oryzanol, and XRD profiles indicated a transition from crystalline to amorphous structures. SEM images displayed denser network formations with increased daucosterol levels. Contact angle measurements demonstrated enhanced hydrophobicity with rising daucosterol concentration, which favored stable water-in-oil emulsions. Rheological assessments confirmed strong thermal stability, robust mechanical properties, and partial thixotropic recovery at higher daucosterol levels. Additionally, daucosterol-stabilized emulsions showed remarkable stability through storage, freeze-thaw cycles, and heat treatments. This stability was attributed to dense, network-like structures that effectively inhibited phase separation and droplet coalescence. Molecular interaction simulations further supported the formation of stable complexes between daucosterol and γ-oryzanol, sustained by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. This study highlights daucosterol's potential as an innovative stabilizer for oil-water emulsion gels.

This study investigates the identification of local edible plants as sources of inulin and evaluates their potential to promote probiotic growth and inhibit pathogenic bacteria, with the goal of advancing synbiotic development. Prebiotics, defined as dietary fibers that are selectively fermented by probiotics to confer health benefits, have garnered increasing attention in recent research. This study aimed to identify local edible plants as sources of inulin and assess their potential for functional food applications. Histochemical microscopic analysis revealed the presence of inulin crystals in fifteen edible plants. Crude inulin extracts from Pachyrhizuserosus and Psidiumguajava L. showed notable prebiotic activity, promoting probiotic growth more effectively than standard inulin. Moreover, the cell-free supernatants of Lactobacillusplantarum ATCC14917, combined with the crude inulin extracts from P.erosus and P.guajava L., demonstrated significant bacteriostatic activity against Staphylococcusaureus ATCC25923. The synbiotic cultures exhibited strong bactericidal effects on S.aureus ATCC25923 and Escherichiacoli ATCC25922, achieving a >90% inhibition rate (3–5 log CFU/mL reduction) after incubation. Notably, specific combinations, such as L.plantarum ATCC14917 with P.guajava L. and Bifidobacteriumlongum MTC1007 with P.erosus, yielded the highest prebiotic activity scores. These findings suggest that Pachyrhizuserosus and Psidiumguajava L. are promising local sources of inulin, with the potential to support probiotic growth and contribute to the development of effective synbiotic formulations.

The adulteration of tea seed oil severely harms consumer interests, such as affecting the taste experience and economic losses, creating an urgent need for a rapid, efficient, and non-destructive detection method. In this study, near-infrared and Raman spectroscopy were used to detect the adulteration of tea seed oil with four common edible vegetable oils. After preprocessing the raw spectral data, three variable selection methods namely uninformative variable elimination, competitive adaptive reweighted sampling, and successive projections algorithm were used individually and consecutively to select key spectral variables. And the NIR and Raman characteristic variables were then fused to develop a discrimination model. The results indicate that normalization is the superior preprocessing method and consecutive variable selection methods are generally superior to single ones. The best NIR and Raman models, based on consecutive variable selection methods, achieve accuracy and F1 score of the prediction set of 95.652%, 97.479% and 92.754%, 95.868%, respectively. Spectral information fusion can fully utilize the spectral information, the accuracy and F1 score of the optimal binary adulteration discrimination model based on information fusion for calibration and prediction sets are all 100%. Meanwhile, the accuracy and F1 score of the multiple adulteration discrimination model are 98.225% and 98.932%, respectively. Therefore, the fusion of NIR and Raman spectral information can enable highly accurate discrimination of adulterated oil. The proposed method in this study will aid in developing portable detection devices for tea seed oil adulteration.

Steam explosion (SE, at 0.3–0.7 MPa for 3–7 min) was employed to modify the physicochemical properties of Tartary buckwheat (TB) flour, and the eating quality and starch digestibility of corresponding gluten-free whole-grain TB cookies was assessed. The results illustrated that SE enhanced the water-extractable arabinoxylans content in TB flour by 24%–152%. SE increased the random coil content while decreasing the α-helix content, and starch of SE flours had lower relative crystallinity and degree of short-range order. The water-holding capacity significantly increased with SE at moderate conditions. Additionally, SE flours enhanced the spread ratio of the cookies. Compared to cookies made with native TB flour, the digestibility of starch in cookies made with SE flour was significantly lower, and their resistant starch content was higher. The sensory evaluation attributes of SE cookies were superior to those of native cookie in terms of texture, smell, and form attributes. This study elucidates the action mechanism of SE modification on the properties of TB flours and cookies, offering a reference for the application of SE treatment on whole grain processing.

The present study aimed to develop healthier sausages by utilizing ergosterol-stabilized Pickering emulsion as a substitute for animal fat. In this context, a Pickering emulsion stabilized with ergosterol was developed, and its impact on the sausage quality was investigated by replacing 25%–100% of pork backfat. Our findings revealed that the W/O emulsion exhibited superior freeze-thaw stability. All meat pastes displayed distinct gel-like rheological behavior, with the highest values observed at 50% fat substitution. Notably, sausages reformulated with 50% emulsion showed enhanced uniformity and compactness, resulting in a significant reduction in cooking loss, L∗ values, and b∗ values, while exhibiting a notable increase in a∗ values. The texture properties reached their maximum at 50% fat substitution. Furthermore, 50% fat replacement decreased the relaxation time of T2b and increased the proportion of bound and immobilized water. Reformulation with 50% emulsion not only generated novel flavor substances but also led to an increased PUFA/SFA ratio as well as decreased atherogenic index and thrombogenic index. In conclusion, reformulating with 50% emulsion significantly improved the physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid composition of pork sausages, which highlights the promising potential of ergosterol-stabilized Pickering emulsion as an effective alternative for fats in meat products.

All meat pastes displayed distinct gel-like rheological behavior, with the highest values observed at 50% fat substitution. Notably, sausages reformulated with 50% emulsion showed enhanced uniformity and compactness, resulting in a significant reduction in cooking loss, L∗ values, and b∗ values, while exhibiting a notable increase in a∗ values. The texture properties reached their maximum at 50% fat substitution. Furthermore, 50% fat replacement decreased the relaxation time of T<sub>2b</sub> and increased the proportion of bound and immobilized water. Reformulation with 50% emulsion not only generated novel flavor substances but also led to an increased PUFA/SFA ratio as well as decreased atherogenic index and thrombogenic index. In conclusion, reformulating with 50% emulsion significantly improved the physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid composition of pork sausages, which highlights the promising potential of ergosterol-stabilized Pickering emulsion as an effective alternative for fats in meat products.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":382,"journal":{"name":"LWT - Food Science and Technology","volume":"213 ","pages":"Article 117061"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142701618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Edible insects have garnered attention as a sustainable and nutritious food source, offering a solution to food security challenges. They are rich in protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals. This study investigated the protein quality of three edible insect species—Acheta domesticus (house cricket), Tenebrio molitor (yellow mealworm), and Locusta migratoria (migratory locust). The results demonstrated that all insects are rich in protein, ranging from 67.49 to 72.36 g per 100 g of dry weight, with a complete profile of essential amino acids, notably high in leucine. The total protein digestibility, reflecting the percentage of absorbed protein, ranged from 74.47% to 85.18%, indicating efficient utilization by the human body. In order to provide a more comprehensive assessment of protein quality, this study employed the digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS), offering a comprehensive approach to protein quality assessment based on the human body's requirements for essential amino acids. For DIAAS, three calculation methods were used, incorporating a universal conversion factor of 6.25, an insect-specific conversion factor of 5.33, and the sum of amino acids. Using a conversion factor of 5.33 for protein calculation resulted in higher DIAAS values than using a factor of 6.25. The method based on the sum of individual amino acids in the dry matter provided the DIAAS values in the following order: 96.61 ± 8.86% for house cricket, 89.71 ± 9.22% for migratory locust, and 103.32 ± 10.11% for yellow mealworm, indicating good to excellent protein quality for all insect species. These findings highlight the importance of accurate protein content determination and its impact on assessing the nutritional quality of edible insects.

This study investigated green needles and fine twigs (NT) from spruce, pine, and fir, widely available forest by-products, as potential functional ingredients and natural preservatives for whole wheat bread fortification. The effects of replacing water with NT extracts at 0, 35, and 70% levels were assessed on bread's secondary metabolite profiling, bioactivity, nutrition, and quality. The NT-bread demonstrated good stability of compounds analyzed by HPLC-DAD after 24 and 72 h, with a notable increase in the content of several polyphenols after 72 h of storage. This increase was correlated closely with an over 80% enhancement in antioxidant activity during storage, suggesting extended shelf-life. A total of 115 compounds were identified by UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, stilbenes, lignans, resin acids, and gibberellins. Among the substitution levels, 35% , particularly pine NT-fortified bread, was sufficient to enhance functionality while preserving bread quality and sensory acceptability, making it a strong candidate for further development as a bioactive product. Overall, the findings demonstrate the valorization potential of underutilized NT as natural antioxidants and will help provide the industry with phytochemical compositional information. This study highlights the broader applicability of these side streams by employing a green extraction technique (hydrodynamic cavitation) that yields valuable compounds, promotes sustainability, and supports the circular economy through a cost-effective and efficient process.
