Background
In recent years, the demand for plant-based meat alternatives has surged as consumers become more conscious of health and environmental considerations. The growing demand for meat analogs has catalyzed extensive research into the molecular phenomena underlying the fabrication of these products.
Scope and approach
This review investigates the molecular interactions associated with the processing and structuring of plant proteins to enhance textural and functional attributes indicative of traditional meat. Key aspects explored include the molecular interactions of protein with polysaccharides, lipids, and water in creating fibrous and multilayer structures derived from food-based proteins such as pea, soy flour, soy isolate, soy protein concentrate, and wheat gluten-like sustainable sources. Various intrinsic and extrinsic factors like proteins ratio, protein structure, temperature, pH and salt concentration, shear rate, and lipids influencing the protein structuring are discussed to determine the structural anisotropy and flow behavior during these molecular interactions. Moreover, heat treatment, ultrasound treatment, oxidation, phosphorylation, glycosylation, and enzymatic hydrolysis which promote intermolecular bond formation and protein aggregation are also discussed in terms of gelation, rheological properties, and intricacies of forming protein networks to the development of structured plant-based meat.
Key findings and conclusions
Insights into these molecular intricacies not only contribute to the refinement of existing products but also pave the way for continued innovation in the dynamic field of plant-based meat alternatives.

In the past few decades, plant polysaccharides obtained from the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits or seeds of herbaceous, woody, shrub and liana plants have become important sources for developing valuable functional foods and immune adjuvant. Compared with other plant parts, the research on plant seed polysaccharides (PSPs) is more less, and many seed resources remain unexplored.
Scope and approach
The study of the active substances in seeds, especially polysaccharides, is an indispensable part of research. PSPs have attracted immense attention because of their relatively low-toxicity and various biological activities. The article reviews experimental studies regarding structural characteristics and immunomodulatory effects of polysaccharides which extracted from plant seeds, covering a period of over 20 years.
Key findings and conclusions
Increasing evidence has suggested that PSPs can exert their active functions through immunomodulatory effects. This review aims to summarize the relationships among plant sources, structural characteristics and the immunomodulatory effects of PSPs, and thus provide theoretical support for the application of plant seeds, especially for the further application of PSPs as valuable food or as functional factors related to the immune response.

Background
Whole grains emerge preventive or ameliorative effects on type 2 diabetes mellitus as one of the staple foods with abundant polyphenols and dietary fiber. However, there is currently no systematic review elucidating the metabolic mechanisms associated with whole-grain regulation of blood glucose metabolism based on novel disease marker microRNAs.
Scope and approach
The present paper systematically reviewed the metabolic mechanisms of whole grain for blood glucose regulation based on microRNA. In addition to the conventional mechanisms, including insulin resistance, inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin signaling, we focused on the potential mechanisms of whole grains and their phytochemicals in modulating type 2 diabetes mellitus through microRNA.
Key findings and conclusions
Whole grains and their phytochemicals could mediate different miRNAs to improve diabetes by intervening with different targets, such as glycolipid metabolism, inflammation, oxidative stress and gut microbial. This work would enrich our understanding of whole grains improving type 2 diabetes mellitus and promote the consumption of whole grains.

Prepared dishes are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and nutritional value. However, warmed-over flavor (WOF), which occurs during production and reheating, negatively affects consumer acceptance. To enhance market consumption, it's crucial to control WOF by explaining its composition and formation process.
Scope and approach
This paper is written along the lines of WOF formation to regulation in prepared dishes. The main WOF forming substances and formation mechanism were elucidated. Direct control strategies (sous vide technology, reheating methods), potential control strategies (cold plasma, antioxidants, novel packaging methods, low-temperature storage) and their suitability of WOF were highlighted. Finally, future trends for WOF in prepared dishes were also proposed.
Key findings and conclusions
The volatile compounds, including aldehydes, ketones, and alcohol are the main flavor compounds of WOF in prepared dishes. Moreover, WOF mainly arises from lipid oxidation and protein degradation during heat treatment and storage. Furthermore, six innovative control strategies aimed at effectively regulating the generation of WOF are summarized according to their effects. Future research should focus on exploring the interactions between formation mechanisms, investigating the effect of microwave-combined other reheating technologies and synergistic effects of natural antioxidants on WOF, developing visualized smart packaging for increasing the consumption of prepared dishes.

Background
Jaboticaba (Myrtaceae), a native Brazilian fruit, is increasingly recognized for its sensory attributes, nutritional profile, and biological activities. Rich in vitamins, phenolic compounds, minerals, and dietary fibers, jaboticaba provides various health benefits. Recent studies have linked its regular consumption to anti-proliferative, anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity effects. However, the large-scale production of jaboticaba is constrained by the significant instability of its bioactive compounds, particularly anthocyanins, during processing and storage. These anthocyanins are prone to degradation due to factors such as light, heat, oxygen, enzymes, and pH. This instability underscores the need for strategies to enhance their physicochemical stability in food applications. Microencapsulation techniques (e.g., spray drying, freeze-drying) and incorporation into hydrogel matrices are among the most promising approaches.
Scope and approach
This review provides a comprehensive characterization of jaboticaba, with an emphasis on its rich content of dietary fibers, vitamins, and phenolic compounds, particularly anthocyanins. The methods used to assess antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory of the jaboticaba, and other bioactivities are evaluated alongside its anti-proliferative, anti-obesity, and anti-diabetic effects. Additionally, the review explores the potential of microencapsulation and hydrogel matrices to address the perishability of the fruit and the instability of anthocyanins, which limit its commercialization, thereby supporting the development of jaboticaba-based functional foods and supplements.
Key findings
Recent studies suggest that regular consumption of jaboticaba may offer benefits in the prevention and management of health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and cancer. The instability of anthocyanins, which hinders the development of jaboticaba-based food products, can be mitigated through microencapsulation and hydrogel inclusion. These techniques enhance the physical and chemical stability of anthocyanins, protecting them from heat and light degradation, extending shelf life, and enabling sustained release. Consequently, jaboticaba-based functional foods and supplements developed using these methods could facilitate the incorporation of bioactive compounds into daily diets.

Cellular fluorescence imaging (CFI) uses fluorescent substances to label specific biomarkers in cells, recording their dynamic changes via fluorescent signals to study physiological processes. With advancements in fluorescent probe technology and cell biology, CFI has been widely used in food toxicology studies. CFI offers significant advantages over conventional toxicological methods, but no articles summarize this development. This paper reviews the application of CFI in detecting and evaluating toxic metal elements, chemical residues, mycotoxins, bacteria, viruses, and food processing contaminants, as well as evaluating vitamins, functional minerals, functional amino acids, functional peptides and polyphenol compounds. Additionally, the challenges and future prospects of CFI in food testing and toxicology are discussed.

Background
Insulin resistance or inadequate pancreatic insulin secretion leads to high blood sugar levels. This is a key characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) - a noncommunicable disease. In recent studies, it has been suggested that dairy food products may have favorable impact on type 2 diabetes (T2DM) through the gut-pancreas axis, potentially leading to lower glucose levels. The gut-pancreas axis refers to communication between the gastrointestinal tract and the pancreas, which is involved in regulating glucose metabolism.
Scope and approach
This review aims to demonstrate the link between gut and pancreas axis and establish the impact of dairy food products in T2DM via gut-pancreas axis. To achieve a comprehensive review on how dairy food products interact with T2DM, databases were screened and relevant papers were included in the content.
Key finding and conclusions
Dairy products contain various components such as whey proteins, peptides and bioactive compounds that have been found to exert beneficial effects on glucose regulation. In research on the subject, it has been shown that consuming dairy products may improve insulin sensitivity, reduce insulin resistance and enhance pancreatic function, ultimately leading to better glycemic control in individuals with T2DM. Especially in studies conducted with probiotics or peptides isolated from dairy product, it has been observed that results that may be related to the gut-pancreas axis have been reached. In summary, dairy products contribute to the modulation of intestinal microbiota, improvement in intestinal permeability, increase in SCFA-producing bacteria, decrease in inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in tissues including liver and pancreas, especially in the intestine, and prevention of damage to pancreatic islets.

Background
Black sesame seeds (BSS) have been considered a traditional health food with notable nutritional value and pharmacological properties for centuries, particularly in Asian countries like China. The growing demand for natural and functional foods has driven the market development of BSS products. Fully understanding the phytochemical constituents and biological activities of BSS advances its high-value utilization.
Scope and approach
This review provides a systematic overview of BSS, highlighting the nutritional ingredients, health effects, and prospective food applications. Additionally, the review addresses current research limitations and proposes strategies for optimizing BSS utilization.
Key findings and conclusions
BSS has a diverse nutritional profile, encompassing proteins, lipids, lignans, minerals, black pigments, and vitamins, with their content varying by cultivar and processing conditions. As an excellent nutritional resource of food, BSS exhibits prominent bioactivities demonstrated in animal and in vitro studies, including antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, hepato and nephro protective and anti-obesity, neuroprotective, antidepressant, as well as lowering blood pressure and anti-diabetic effects. BSS also holds promise for various applications in the food industry, from nutritional supplements to innovative food packaging solutions. It is widely appreciated for its organoleptic properties and associated health benefits, making it an important ingredient in numerous food formulations, including sauces, bakery and dairy products, and beverages. Finally, the review indicates that better utilization of BSS is hindered by inadequate component analysis, limited health benefits research, lack of clinical studies on biological activities and toxicity, and the need for investigation into the effects of processing conditions on health-promoting properties.

Background
Microfiltration retentate (MFR), also called whey protein phospholipid concentrate, is a co-product of whey protein isolate (WPI) production derived through microfiltration (MF) of whey or whey protein concentrate. Microbiological quality and protein denaturation/aggregation in the MFR stream present challenges in valorizing the stream for utilization in specialized nutritional products. As a result, MFR is underutilized, with its current applications largely limited to commodity applications in the animal feed industry as a milk replacer and in confectionery, for example. On the other hand, the production of MFR is increasing year on year due to the increase in demand for WPI with its current production representing 14–18% of the total whey processed worldwide.
Scope and approach
In this review, we discuss MFR processing options, composition, current applications, future perspectives, and potential valorization strategies and challenges. Our approach includes a comprehensive literature review of recent studies and advancements in MFR processing. We systematically selected and analyzed peer-reviewed articles, industry websites, and reports to provide a holistic view of the current state and future directions of MFR technology.
Key findings and conclusions
The gross chemical composition of MFR is highly variable, with typical values of fat, protein, lactose, and ash ranging from 11 to 38%, 50–70%, 1–11%, and 2–4%, respectively. The protein constituents in MFR include β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin, lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, and caseino-macropeptide. Additionally, MFR is enriched with milk fat globule membrane-associated proteins such as butyrophilin, mucin 1, xanthine oxidase, and phospholipids like sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine. Significant research gaps exist in understanding the microbiology, bioactivity, and bioavailability of MFR components, which are crucial for supporting its valorization. Despite these gaps, there is great potential for utilizing MFR in the food industry, neonatal nutrition, and pharmaceutical applications. This potential provides opportunities to develop targeted, novel value-added ingredients from the MFR stream.

As a result, MFR is underutilized, with its current applications largely limited to commodity applications in the animal feed industry as a milk replacer and in confectionery, for example.

Background
Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) is extensively cultured across various regions and countries due to its rapid reproduction, high growth rates, and cost-effectiveness. Surimi products are globally favored for their high protein content, distinctive flavor, and convenience. As a critically important freshwater resource, silver carp's favorable processing characteristics—such as its white flesh, high protein content, and excellent gelation properties—make it an ideal choice for producing fish paste and surimi products. The quality of surimi products is largely determined by their gelation properties, which are influenced by the quality of the raw materials and the thermal stability.
Scope and approach
This review gave a comprehensive overview of silver carp surimi products and summarized the gelation mechanism focused on the seasonal variations in silver carp muscle proteins including myosin, actin, tropomyosin, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, and endogenous transglutaminase. These properties were important for guiding surimi production and processing. Finally, the research trends and outlined future directions were highlighted.
Key findings and conclusions
Due to the seasonal variation in silver carp muscle proteins, different processing conditions are required depending on the season. The setting temperature in summer is between 35 and 40 °C, whereas in winter, it is 30 °C. Considering the extensive aquaculture of silver carp in Southeast Asia and Africa, it is crucial to identify the gelation mechanisms and optimize production techniques based on environmental conditions and freshness of sampling. Current research emphasizes low-sodium formulations, 3D food printing, dysphagia diets, functional additives, and eco-friendly processing methods.
