Durio kutejensis, commonly known as Lai durian, has a unique characteristics of a creamy texture and a combination of sweet and bitter tastes. This study aimed to isolate and screen yeast from fruits as a potential probiotic agent. The tests consisted of tolerance to bile salt and gastric acid at pH 2, antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enteriditis, and hemolytic activity on blood agar medium. The results showed that 40 yeasts isolated from Lai durian fruit and 34 of these isolates grew on YMA medium. The two isolates showed high significance in the probiotic tests. These two isolates were able to grow on bile salt up to a concentration of 2% and gastric acid for up to 6 h, with survival rates of 99.06% and 100%, respectively. Two isolates were identified as Pichia kudriavzevii UNJCC Y-137 and Candida tropicalis UN-JCC Y-140 Therefore, these two yeast isolates can be used as potential probiotic agents.

This study investigated the suitability of a potato starch (NP)-Dodamssal rice starch (DD) mixture to replace acetylated potato starch (AP) in long-life noodles. Wheat flour (WF) was replaced with AP and NP in 20% of WF, and NP was replaced with DD in 10–50% of NP. The swelling power of the WF-AP mixture was similar to that of all the WF-NP-DD mixtures. The melting enthalpies of the WF-NP-DD mixtures were slightly higher than those of the WF-AP mixtures. The pasting viscosity decreased with increasing DD content of the mixtures. The G′ of all the WF-NP-DD mixtures was higher than that of the WF-AP mixture over the temperature profile, and similar G′ patterns over time were observed. The tensile strengths of noodles by the WF-NP-DD mixtures were similar to those obtained using the WF and WF-AP mixture. Overall, NP-DD mixtures have the potential to replace AP when mixed with WF.

Functional foods have become an essential element of the diet in developed nations, due to their health benefits and nutritive values. Such food products are only called functional if they, “In addition to basic nutrition, have valuable effects on one or multiple functions of the human body, thereby enhancing general and physical conditions and/or reducing the risk of disease progression”. Functional foods are currently one of the most extensively researched areas in the food and nutrition sciences. They are fortified and improved food products. Presently, probiotics are regarded as the most significant and commonly used functional food product. Diverse probiotic food products and supplements are used according to the evidence that supports their strength, functionality, and recommended dosage. This review provides an overview of the current functional food market, with a particular focus on probiotic microorganisms as pivotal functional ingredients. It offers insights into current research endeavors and outlines potential future directions in the field.

Red bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a popular and nutritious vegetable. In this study, oven cooking (OV), air-frying (AF), and infrared grilling (IR) were used to cook red bell peppers at different temperatures (170, 180, 190, and 200 °C). Changes in the total phenolic content, ascorbic acid content, antioxidant activity, and sugar and acrylamide content in red bell peppers were evaluated before and after cooking. The total phenolic and ascorbic acid contents decreased significantly after cooking (p < 0.05). Among the three evaluated methods, OV-cooked red bell peppers exhibited the highest antioxidant activity. The acrylamide content showed the lowest levels in OV 170 °C (93.67 ± 3.22 μg/kg dw) and the highest in AF 200 °C (1985.38 ± 76.39 μg/kg dw) samples. Compared to the AF and IR methods, OV was identified as the best way to preserve the antioxidant activity of red bell peppers while reducing acrylamide production.

Sarcopenic obesity, encompassing both muscle wasting and obesity, is relevant across individuals. Toona sinensis (TS) has been shown to regulate glucose and lipid metabolisms. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of TS fruit (TSF) in sarcopenic obesity are unclear. This study investigated impacts of TSF extract on skeletal muscle atrophy in C57BL/6 mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). After 25 weeks of TSF pre-treatment and supplementation, it reversed loss of skeletal muscle mass and grip strength in HFD-fed mice, independent of body weight changes. TSF treatment notably increased the phosphorylation of Akt, mTOR, and P70S6K, while suppressing nuclear localization of NFκB, FoxO1a, and transcription of atrogin-1, MuRF-1, and myostatin expression in HFD-fed muscle. Additionally, TSF influenced autophagic flux and mitochondria quality control, emphasizing its role in balancing protein synthesis and degradation. In conclusion, TSF alleviates HFD-induced sarcopenia via protein turnover, autophagic flux and mitochondria quality control, highlighting its potential therapeutic value for sarcopenic obesity.
