Bioactive compounds (BCs) have long been hindered by multiple barriers in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) preventing effective absorption. Thus, in order to further enhance the bioavailability of BCs, delivery systems consisting of conjugates using the Maillard reaction as carriers are gradually coming into the limelight. Since BCs are challenging for delivery in GIT, the delivery and release of BCs in this review will be updated and discussed based on the carriers of the Maillard conjugates. The focus includes emulsions, nanoparticles, microcapsules, gels, liposomes, and solid lipid nanoparticles. Upon this, the application of Maillard conjugates offers the possibility of targeted release of BCs in vivo and their protection. This review offers insights into delivery systems designed that improve bioavailability.

With increasing focus on sustainability, there has been a growth in the development of edible films to improve food quality, particularly with polysaccharides, as they exhibit desirable properties, including functional diversity and efficient oxygen and carbon dioxide barriers. However, high water vapor permeability (WVP) still limits their applications as film material. While a number of studies have reported the WVP values of various polysaccharide-based films (PBFs), there is a lack of cohesive insights that could help formulate the approach to reduce WVP of these films. This review highlights reported strategies to reduce WVP in edible polysaccharide films, while comparing their efficacy, and discusses the role of relevant properties influencing WVP. Based on the current understanding, the addition of phenolic compounds has been identified as a promising pathway to reduce WVP. More research is required to potentially integrate several methods to reduce WVP, including with lipophilic nanoparticles.

Fermentation has been crucial in human history, evolving in meaning with advances in biotechnology. Advancements in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering have led to the emergence of precision fermentation, which involves using metabolically engineered microbes to produce functional ingredients from simple carbon sources under precisely controlled conditions. These technologies have the potential to develop sustainable platforms for producing food ingredients, which could help address food crisis issues. This review discusses how systems metabolic engineering can be applied to precision fermentation-based production of food ingredients in microbial hosts, with a particular focus on the production of flavoring and coloring agents. Additionally, the development of optimal downstream processing techniques for each product category is also examined.

Fatty acids (FAs) in human milk (HM) are essential for infant growth and development, particularly during the first six months of life. In infant formula (IF), FAs mainly originate from bovine milk (BM). However, comparative data on FA patterns and structures across HM, BM, and IF are limited. This review, analyzing 37 studies from 2018 to 2023, provides a comprehensive FA characteristic, highlighting their differences in macroscopic patterns and key structures. For detectable FAs, HM and BM exhibit more diverse FA species compared to IF. HM is richer in monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated FAs (PUFA), while BM contains higher levels of saturated FAs (SFA), placing IF between the two. The content of MUFA (except for C18:1 c9, c20:1 c9) and PUFA (C18:2 n6, c18:2 c9 t11, c18:2 t10.c12, and c18:3 n3) in IF should be increased, and the content of SFA (C6:0, C8:0, C11:0, C12:0, C17:0) should be reduced in order to more closely simulate HM. The differences between HM and IF may be attributed to the use of BM as a base ingredient, mainly reflected in profile, structure, stability, and bioavailability. Despite the latest advancements, such as the addition of structural lipid 1,3-dioleoyl-2-palmitoylglycerol and milk fat globule membranes, fully replicating the complexity and functionality of HM FAs in IF remains challenging. Further investigation into these aspects could reveal new insights into how HM supports optimal infant health and development, providing the foundation for even more advanced IF formulations.

Foodborne bacteria pose significant risks to public health and economic conditions. Natural antibacterial agents have proven effective against foodborne bacterial contamination but often suffer from harsh environmental and processing conditions. Pickering emulsions, recognized for good stability, high loading capacity, sustained release, cost-effectiveness, low toxicity, biocompatibility, and sustainability, have emerged as efficient carriers for natural antibacterial agents and shown great promise in preserving fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, and other foods by either direct coating or incorporation in active packaging films. With the growing interest in Pickering emulsions loaded with natural antibacterial agents, in this review, we highlight recent advances in their applications for inhibiting foodborne bacteria. The mostly investigated foodborne bacteria and the compositions and antibacterial mechanisms of natural antibacterial agents loaded Pickering emulsions are summarized, and food-related applications are spotlighted. Despite challenges, such as scalability and regulatory approval, antibacterial Pickering emulsions show great potential as sustainable preservatives for food preservation.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a global disease with a complex pathogenesis, while the intestinal environment has been shown to be closely associated with the onset and progression of AP. Currently, probiotic foods have garnered increasing interest as a potential treatment for AP due to their ability to improve intestinal barrier function, maintain intestinal immunity, and modulate intestinal microbiome. This review summarizes research advances in probiotic foods applied in animal studies and clinical trials of AP management, including the strains, dosages, and durations in probiotic foods, and conclusion, and further discusses the potential mechanisms for probiotic foods in AP. Despite promising results, several limitations and unanswered questions remain, including the optimal probiotic strains, timing of intervention, and guideline for the components of probiotic foods. Future large-scale, multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to elucidate the efficacy and mechanisms of probiotic foods in AP and address these current gaps in knowledge.

Methods and techniques used in food fingerprinting are required to be of low cost, rapid and easy to use to target issues associated with food authenticity (e.g. food fraud, provenance). The utilisation of sensing technologies based on vibrational spectroscopy, including mid-infrared, near-infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and, more recently, hyperspectral imaging are proposed and extensively used in food authenticity in a wide range of foods. The different studies and commercial applications reported concluded that the utilisation of vibrational spectroscopy allows for the development of efficient and robust systems to monitor food authenticity. These techniques have also shown their potential to be included in the implementation of management decision tools that would allow for the evaluation and monitoring of the authenticity of food supply and value chains.
