Myofibrillar proteins are mainly responsible for the structure-forming properties of emulsified meat products due to their gelling abilities. To enhance the gel characteristics of myofibrillar protein, the effect of lipids in different physical states on MP gelation was studied. In this study, chicken fat (CF), refined palm oil (RPO), and palm stearin (ST) were used to emulsify the extracted chicken myofibrillar protein (MP). The whiteness, water holding capacity, gel strength, solubility, emulsifying stability index, thermal and rheological properties, protein separation, and microstructure of MP gels were evaluated. The results demonstrated that RPO addition increased the physicochemical parameters, followed by CF and ST, and the ratio between MP and lipid was 4 to 1. MP-RPO also showed better thermal properties, characterized by a high peak temperature of peak 3 during differential scanning calorimetry analysis. MP-ST was the most unstable, indicated by the lowest peak temperature, while MP-CF did not differ significantly from MP-RPO. The frequency sweep test showed that RPO has the highest G’ and lowest tan δ values, indicating a strong network formation. The changes in electrophoresis bands demonstrated that myosin might be involved in creating heat-induced MP gel, with no difference between lipid types. Additionally, the microstructure showed that MP-RPO gel had smaller oil droplets coated with interfacial protein film. Hence, RPO might be the best lipid source when emulsifying chicken protein due to its high water holding capacity with excellent thermal and rheological properties.

The effects of ultrasound (US) pretreatment, heat pump drying temperature and drying time on the water status and viscoelastic properties as well as the correlation between them of scallop adductors were investigated. As drying progressed, the transverse relaxation time (T2) of tightly and loosely bound water maintained a relatively stable state, while the T2 of free and immobilized water shifted leftwards with US pretreatment and increasing drying temperature. The creep compliance was increased, but the relaxation modulus decreased with US pretreatment and an increase in drying temperature. However, the creep compliance exhibited a decreasing trend, but the relaxation modulus showed an increase tendency as drying proceeded, viz., decreasing moisture content. Burger’s model and the three-element generalized Maxwell model achieved the best fit to describe the creep behavior and stress relaxation, respectively. The storage modulus (G′) and loss modulus (G″) were decreased with US pretreatment, increasing the drying temperature and moisture content. The T2 of all water components and peak area fraction of immobilized water were positively correlated with the creep compliance but significantly negatively correlated with the stress relaxation modulus, G′ and G″. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance provided reliable viscoelastic properties of scallop adductors by monitoring the water status during the drying process, which can be used to accurately control the final product quality.
研究了超声波(US)预处理、热泵干燥温度和干燥时间对扇贝加成物水分状态和粘弹性能的影响以及它们之间的相关性。随着干燥时间的延长,紧结合水和松散结合水的横向松弛时间(T2)保持相对稳定的状态,而游离水和固定水的横向松弛时间(T2)则随着超声预处理和干燥温度的升高而左移。随着 US 预处理和干燥温度的升高,蠕变顺应性增加,但松弛模量降低。然而,随着干燥的进行,即含水量的降低,蠕变顺应性呈下降趋势,但松弛模量呈上升趋势。Burger 模型和三元素广义麦克斯韦模型分别实现了对蠕变行为和应力松弛的最佳拟合。储能模量(G′)和损耗模量(G″)随 US 预处理、干燥温度和含水量的增加而降低。所有水成分的 T2 和固定化水的峰面积分数与蠕变顺应性呈正相关,但与应力松弛模量、G′ 和 G″ 呈显著负相关。低场核磁共振通过监测干燥过程中的水分状态,为扇贝加成物提供了可靠的粘弹性能,可用于精确控制最终产品质量。

This study presents the synthesis of agro-waste banana peel extract-based magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (BPEx-MIONPs), emphasizing antioxidant capacity and food preservation. Using iron (III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3 · 6 H2O) as a precursor and a reducing agent from agro-waste peel extract, a precisely controlled process yielded BPEx-MIONPs. Characterization involved X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD revealed tetragonal Fe2O3, cubic magnetite structure, and monoclinic FexOy-NPs with an average size of 14.8 nm. TEM and SEM revealed diverse morphologies. TEM displayed both spherical and elongated nanoparticles, with some appearing as thin fibrils. In contrast, SEM images depicted an array primarily consisting of spherical nanoparticles, resembling coral reef formations. FTIR confirmed Fe–O bonds (1000 –400 cm-1). The antioxidant assessment showed robust DPPH free radical scavenging; BPEx achieved 100% inhibition at 18 min, and BPEx-MIONPs had an IC50 of ~ 136 µg/mL. BPEx-MIONPs, stabilized with banana-based bioplastic, effectively preserved grapes, reducing weight loss to 6.2% on day 3, compared to the control (19.0%). This pioneering study combines banana peel antioxidants with magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, providing sustainable solutions for food preservation and nano-packaging. Ongoing research aims to refine conditions and explore broader applications of BPEx-MIONPs.
