Active coatings and films made from pectin, candelilla wax, aloe mucilage, and glycerol were functionalized with an extract rich in polyphenols from Larrea tridentata (Polyphenol Larrea extract: PLE) leaves at different concentrations (320 to 920 ppm). Antimicrobial capacity was evaluated on avocados by the inoculation of spores from phytopathogeni...

The present work evaluates the suitability of ethyl cellulose and beeswax oleogels prepared with a healthy lipid mixture (olive, linseed, and fish oils) as fat replacers for fresh meat product development. The texture, color, thermal properties, and fatty acid composition of the oleogels indicated their suitability for the intended use, and they we...

This study investigates the applicability of decanter centrifuges for high efficient separation of valuable proteins from whey. Thus, two different types of protein aggregates, α-lactalbumin (α-la) and β-lactoglobulin (β-lg), were produced by means of selective thermal aggregation. The two aggregate suspensions were investigated for their particle ...

Pea protein is one of the few hypoallergenic vegetable proteins without genetic modification issues. Pea protein isolate (PPI) is a natural emulsifier with high nutritional value. Nevertheless, PPI’s applications in foods are limited by its relatively poor solubility and functional properties. This study was performed to explore the use of a pH-shi...

Gingko biloba (GB) seeds were dried by hot air under drying temperature of 60, 70, 80, and 90 °C. The crust formation of GB seeds during drying process was monitored by stereomicroscopy. A line dividing the illuminated and dark part was observed from the stereoscopic image, of which the dark part was the crust layer. The degree of crust under dryin...

One of the most studied techniques for the non-destructive determination of the internal quality of fruits has been visible and near-infrared (VIS-NIR) reflectance spectroscopy. This work evaluates a new non-destructive in-line VIS-NIR spectroscopy prototype for in-line identification of five apple varieties, with the advantage that it allows the s...

Poor quality of barley hinders badly the beer production in China. α-Amylase activity plays a very important role in malted barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) for beer production during the mashing process. Pulsed electric field (PEF) and Ca2+ in the form of CaCl2 were introduced to elevate α-amylase activity of barley malt for modifying the quality, and ...

The combination of proper temperature and time duration in sous-vide cooking could provide good water-holding capacity, color parameters, and tender cooked meat. In this study, goat muscles gluteus medius (GM) and biceps femoris (BF) treated with single-stage sous-vide (cooked at 60 °C, 65 °C, 70 °C) and two-stage sous-vide (cooked at 45 and 60 °C,...

The scope of the present work was the development of an ice cream containing substantial amount of phenolic compounds by substituting sucrose by a Muscat de Hamburg grape pulp and skin matter (GPSM)-enriched bulking agent at the level of 25 to 100% w/w. Sucrose replacement by GPSM reinforced the pseudoplastic and thixotropic character of the ice cr...

In this study, the functionality of colloidal cinnamon nanoparticles in improving the antioxidant activity and suspension stability of a chocolate beverage formulated with two types of cocoa powder (natural and alkalised) was investigated. Cinnamon-loaded nanoparticles based on shellac and xanthan gum prepared using anti-solvent precipitation were ...
