Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is an extremely important culture growth supplement, accounting for approximately 60 % of cell-culture-media costs; therefore, lowering FBS-acquisition costs for the industrialization of cultured meat is imperative. This study attempted to produce an FBS substitute using discarded livestock by-products, with particular focus on formulating a product with a composition similar to that of FBS to improve effectiveness. However, to date, no study has precisely analyzed the commercial components of FBS, and this study is the first to compare the chemical composition of FBS and commercially available horse serum purchased from the United States or Europe with that of FBS substitutes developed by our team. This study analyzed the chemical composition of the FBS products purchased by our team over the past 3 years via blood, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and independent composition analyses. While the composition and quality of commercial FBS products are known to vary, the FBS composition of our purchased products was relatively uniform regardless of company, brand, or country of origin. In contrast, FBS substitutes obtained from three major livestock species (cattle, pig, and chicken) clearly exhibited differences in composition, a phenomenon that was also observed upon comparing with FBS as well as among different species. Therefore, to replace commercial FBS entirely, the production of a proportionately effective substitute product comprising an equal or similar composition is required, and the results of this study can be a steppingstone to achieving this. In addition, FBS substitutes manufactured using inexpensive slaughter by-products as raw materials are expected to ultimately reduce the unit cost of cultured meat production.

Although orange juice is a popular beverage worldwide, fruit distribution, storage, and processing can facilitate fungal infection by Penicillium digitatum; leading to the production of tremorgenic alkaloids, specifically tryptoquialanines A (TA) and B (TB). An Analytical method was developed and validated based on QuEChERS and LC-MS/MS analysis to determine the levels of TA and TB in fresh, industrial, and homemade orange juices. Excellent linearity was observed in the method over a high range of 1-1000 μg/kg and low range of 1-75 μg/kg with R2 ≥ 0.998. The LOD and LOQ were 1 and 3 μg/kg, respectively. Recoveries showed values between 57 and 83 %, with RSD ≤ 13 %. Our data indicated a higher prevalence of mycotoxin TA in fresh and industrial orange juices. Reduction in TA and TB content after thermal and HPP treatments were ≤ 32 %. However, thermal treatment was more effective in reducing TA and TB contents.

Kombuchas are a trend in the fermented beverage field and the effect of fermentation time on their characteristics is necessary to better understand the process, mainly concerning volatile compounds, which are scarce information in the current literature. Thus, the present work aimed to evaluate the features of green tea kombucha during fermentation, monitoring the changes in pH, acidity, turbidity, polyphenols, ethanol, acetic acid, volatile compounds, and sensory profile and acceptance up to 14 days of fermentation. Kombuchas' pH and acidity decreased through time as expected, but after 4 days of fermentation, the beverage exceeded the Brazilian legal limits of acidity (130 mEq/L) and produced more than 0.5% AVB, which labels the beverage as alcoholic. Total polyphenols and condensed tannins content enhanced until the seventh day of fermentation and remained constant. Fermentation highly impacted the aroma of the infusion with a high formation of volatile acids, such as alcohols, esters, and ketones. Aldehydes were degraded during the bioprocess. Sensory characterization of kombucha showed that fermentation of 4 days increased perceived turbidity; vinegar, citric fruit, acid, and alcoholic aroma; and produced the beverage with sour, bitter, and vinegar flavor. Thus, the fermentation time of kombuchas must be controlled as they rapidly change and impact on the physicochemical parameters and sensory profile of the beverage can be negative.

Low temperature is the commonly used technique for maintaining the quality of table grapes during postharvest storage. However, this technique could strongly affect the aromatic flavor of fruit. Monoterpenes are the key compounds contributing to the Muscat aromas of grapes. The detailed information and molecular mechanisms underlying the changes in monoterpenes during postharvest low temperature storage have not been thoroughly characterized. In this study, the effects of low temperature storage on the free and bound monoterpene profiles in four cultivars of table grape were determined at both the transcriptomic and metabolomic levels. A total of 27 compounds in both free and bound forms were identified in the four cultivars and showed quantitative differences between the cultivars. Hierarchical cluster and principal component analysis indicated that the free and bound monoterpene profiles were remarkably affected by the low temperature storage. The monoterpenes in the same biosynthesis pathway were clustered together and showed similar evolution trends during low temperature storage. And the content of most of free monoterpenes underwent a rapid decline during low-temperature storage at a certain stage, but the time was different in 4 grape cultivars. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the expression of DXS, HDR, GPPS and TPS genes involved in the monoterpene synthesis pathway were consistent with the changes in the accumulation of monoterpene compounds. While the expression of HMGS, HMGR genes in MVA pathway and branch genes GGPPS and FPPS were negatively correlated with the accumulation of monoterpenes. The findings provide new insights into the underlying mechanisms of the berry aroma flavor change during low temperature storage.

Hemp seeds have attracted the interest of the food industry recently, to be employed as functional food, considering their nutritional composition, highlighting the high content and quality of the proteins. In this study, ten hemp protein hydrolysates (HPHs) were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis with two food-grade proteases from a hemp protein isolate and the inflammatory properties were evaluated in Caco-2 cell line. To this end, the gene expression and the release of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines by Caco-2 cells stimulated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide and treated with HPHs at concentrations of 50 and 100 μg/mL were analyzed. The peptides contained in each HPH were identified and those with higher quality of the match in the spectrum were subjected to in silico analyses to determine which peptides were bioactive and contributing to the immunomodulatory activity of the hydrolysates. The results suggest that the immunomodulatory properties of these HPHs could have a beneficial effect at the level of the intestinal epithelium. The HPH20A and HPH60A + 15F exerted high immunomodulatory properties based on the cytokine levels release. The oligopeptides MAEKEGFEWVSF and GLHLPSYTNTPQLVYIVK were proposed as the most active ones. The potential of these peptides as nutraceuticals to prevent or pretreat intestinal inflammation is promising, though requires validation by in vivo assays.

Okara is the insoluble pulp that remains after the grinding and filtration of soybeans during the production of soymilk and tofu. As it retains a noteworthy quantity of nutrients, there has been an increasing emphasis in the utilization of this residue for the development of sustainable processes. This study focused on assessing the environmental impact of employing okara as a medium for fermenting and dehydrating probiotic bacteria at laboratory scale. The evaluation was carried out using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, considering the entire process lifecycle. Whole okara and defatted okara were used as culture media for Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CIDCA 83114, followed by dehydration (either freeze-drying or spray-drying) and subsequent storage. For the purpose of comparison, both scenarios (whole and defatted okara) were evaluated using 1 kg of dehydrated final product for storage, as functional unit. Based on experimental results, the conservation of the received okara and the dehydration-storage (e.g., freezing and freeze-drying) phases were identified as the most significant environmental hotspots responsible for the most substantial impacts of the processes. The use of LCA facilitated the measurement of the environmental effects linked to the reutilization of okara as an agro-industrial residue, thus providing quantitative support when engineering its sustainable valorization.

Long-term storage of Liupao tea (LPT) is usually believed to enhance its quality and commercial value. The non-volatile metabolites variations and the fungal succession play a key role for organoleptic qualities during the storage procedure. To gain in-depth understanding the impact of storage time on the quality of LPT, two different brands of LPT with different storage time, including Maosheng LPTs (MS) with 0, 5, 10 and 15 years and Tianyu LPTs (TY) with 0, 3, 5, 8 and 10 years, were resorted to investigate the changes of non-volatile metabolites and fungi as well as their correlation by multi-omics. A total of 154 and 119 differential metabolites were identified in these two different brands of MS and TY, respectively, with the aid of high-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In both categories of LPTs, the transformation of differential metabolites in the various stages referred to the formation of alkaloids, increase of organic acids, biosynthesis of terpenoids as well as glycosylation and methylation of flavonoids. Thereinto, glycosylation and methylation of flavonoids were the critical stages for distinguishing MS and TY, which were discovered in MS and TY stored for about 10 and 8 years, respectively. Moreover, the results of high-throughput sequencing showed that the key fungal genera in the storage of LPTs consisted of Eurotium, Aspergillus, Blastobotrys, Talaromyces, Thermomyces and Trichomonascus. It was confirmed on the basis of multivariate analysis that the specific fungal genera promoted the transformation of metabolites, affecting the tea quality to some extent. Therefore, this study provided a theoretical basis for the process optimization of LPT storage.

Pea protein is a popular source of plant-based protein, though its application in meat and dairy analog products is still lacking. This is particularly true in the development of products with fatty and creamy textures. Cold denaturation may be a way to induce these types of textures in food since this is a universal phenomenon in protein that occurs due to a weakening of hydrophobic interactions at cold temperatures. This work utilizes a single screw extruder to systematically study the impacts of moisture content (50-65 %) and pH (2,4.5,8) on the outlet temperatures, specific mechanical energy, specific thermal energy, and texture of cold-extruded pea protein. It was found that at pH 2 and moistures of 60 % and greater, the temperature of the product exiting the extruder is <5.5 °C, and also produced 13.7 %-36.5 % more specific thermal energy, indicating the occurrence of cold denaturation in these products. Based on these findings, a comparison of hot and cold extrusion was conducted as a function of pH and oil content. It was found that cold extrusion imparts 43.0 %-56.2 % more mechanical energy into the protein than hot extrusion, and the cold extruded protein had higher values of Young's modulus and breaking stress. The protein extruded at low temperatures was also able to bind 32.93 % more oil than hot extruded proteins when extruded with 10 % added oil, which may aid in the formation of protein-based fat memetics for the food industry.

The protein extruded at low temperatures was also able to bind 32.93 % more oil than hot extruded proteins when extruded with 10 % added oil, which may aid in the formation of protein-based fat memetics for the food industry.</p>","PeriodicalId":94010,"journal":{"name":"Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138178312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Foods differing in fat content can be distinguished through olfaction alone. The mechanisms underlying the ability of humans to discriminate between foods differing in fat content through olfaction are underexplored. In this study, beef and pork samples were prepared (raw and roasted) with low (muscle tissue; raw: 2-5%; roasted: 5%), medium (muscle tissue with lard; raw: 25-30%; roasted: 36-44%), and high (lard; raw: 40-42%; roasted: 69-70%) fat content. Olfactory triangle discrimination tests and ranking tests were performed to explore whether humans can discriminate and rank fat content of the samples through orthonasal olfaction. Headspace-Solid Phase Micro Extraction-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) was used to characterize the volatile compound composition of the headspace of samples differing in fat content. Partial least-squares regression and partial least squares-discriminant analysis were performed to determine the volatile compounds that were responsible for olfactory fat content discrimination. We found that fat content in both raw and roasted samples can be distinguished through orthonasal olfaction. Perceived odor differences did not always contribute to olfactory identification of fat content. Roasted beef and pork meats with higher fat content had more abundant fatty acids, aldehydes, and ketones. Phthalic acid, isobutyl 2-ropylpentyl ester, and carbon disulfide facilitated the olfactory discrimination of fat content in raw pork and beef samples. 2-Methyl-propanal, benzaldehyde, 1-hydroxy-2-propanone, 2,3-pentanedione, 2,5-octanedione, and 2-butanone contributed to odor differences of roasted beef samples differing in fat content. We conclude that beef and pork samples differing in fat content differ in volatile compound composition of the headspace, and that these differences facilitate discrimination between samples differing in fat content based on olfaction alone.

This study investigated the impact of regio- and stereospecific position of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in dietary triacylglycerols (TAGs) on the fatty acid composition of tissues and organs in rats. Four-week feeding with TAGs containing DHA in sn-1, 2, or 3 position and palmitic acid in the remaining positions at a daily dosage of 500 mg TAG/kg body weight significantly increased the DHA content in all organs and tissues in rats, except in the brain, where the change in DHA level was not statistically significant. The group fed sn-1 DHA showed a significantly higher content of DHA in the plasma TAG than the group fed sn-3 DHA. The sn-3 DHA group had higher levels of DHA in the visceral fat compared to the sn-1, sn-2, as well as all other groups. This is the first study showing that DHA from sn-1 and sn-3 positions of dietary TAGs have differential accumulation in tissues. The new findings improved the current knowledge on the significance of TAG isomeric structure for the bioavailability and metabolic fate of DHA.
