Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Naturally extracted polysaccharides, such as guar gum, are promising candidates for environmentally friendly flotation reagents. It is hypothesized that the kinetics of collision of sub- to millimeter gas bubbles with a hydrophobic graphite surface, and the stability of thin liquid film formed between the bubble and surface is affected by an adsorbed layer of guar gum. EXPERIMENTS A combination of gravimetric (quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation) and imaging (atomic force microscopy) techniques was used to investigate the adsorption of guar gum on graphite surface, while high-speed camera imaging allowed for direct observation of the bubble collision process with guar gum-modified graphite surfaces with millisecond resolution. FINDINGS Atomic force microscope topography images revealed a guar gum concentration-dependent interconnected network of guar gum molecules adsorbed at graphite surface. These adsorbed molecules at low surface coverage, changed the wettability of the graphite surface, resulting in a film drainage time longer by an order of magnitude, while at higher surface coverage successfully prevented bubble attachment to the graphite surface. Most importantly, the adsorbed layer changed the strength of the bubble's bouncing off the graphite surface. This enhanced bubble bouncing can be correlated with the film drainage time and used to predict a successful bubble-particle attachment.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:2442. [PMID: 38793509 PMCID: PMC11122830 DOI: 10.3390/ma17102442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
This work is focused on a novel, promising low temperature phase change material (PCM), based on the eutectic Glauber's salt composition. To allow phase transition within the refrigeration range of temperatures of +5 °C to +12 °C, combined with a high repeatability of melting-freezing processes, and minimized subcooling, the application of three variants of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) with distinct molecular weights (700,000, 250,000, and 90,000) is considered. The primary objective is to optimize the stabilization of this eutectic PCM formulation, while maintaining the desired enthalpy level. Preparation methods are refined to ensure repeatability in mixing components, thereby optimizing performance and stability. Additionally, the influence of Na-CMC molecular weight on stabilization is examined through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), T-history, and rheology tests. The PCM formulation of interest builds upon prior research in which borax, ammonium chloride, and potassium chloride were used as additives to sodium sulfate decahydrate (Glauber's salt), prioritizing environmentally responsible materials. The results reveal that CMC with molecular weights of 250 kg/mol and 90 kg/mol effectively stabilize the PCM without phase separation issues, slowing crystallization kinetics. Conversely, CMC of 700 kg/mol proved ineffective due to the disruption of gel formation at its low gel point, hindering higher concentrations. Calculations of ionic concentration indicate higher Na ion content in PCM stabilized with 90 kg/mol CMC, suggesting increased ionic interactions and gel strength. A tradeoff is discovered between the faster crystallization in lower molecular weight CMC and the higher concentration required, which increases the amount of inert material that does not participate in the phase transition. After thermal cycling, the best formulation had a latent heat of 130 J/g with no supercooling, demonstrating excellent performance. This work advances PCM's reliability as a thermal energy storage solution for diverse applications and highlights the complex relationship between Na-CMC molecular weight and PCM stabilization.

Abstract
Strawberries are a nutrient dense food rich in vitamins, minerals, non-nutrient antioxidant phenolics, and fibers. Strawberry fiber bioactive structures are not well characterized and limited information is available about the interaction between strawberry fiber and phenolics. Therefore, we analyzed commercial strawberry pomace in order to provide a detailed carbohydrate structural characterization, and to associate structures with functions. The pomace fraction, which remained after strawberry commercial juice extraction, contained mostly insoluble (49.1 % vs. 5.6 % soluble dietary fiber) dietary fiber, with pectin, xyloglucan, xylan, β-glucan and glucomannan polysaccharides; glucose, fructose, xylose, arabinose, galactose, fucose and galacturonic acid free carbohydrates; protein (15.6 %), fat (8.34 %), and pelargonidin 3-glucoside (562 μg/g). Oligosaccharides from fucogalacto-xyloglucan, methyl-esterified rhamnogalacturonan I with branched arabinogalacto-side chains, rhamnogalacturonan II, homogalacturonan and β-glucan were detected by MALDI-TOF MS, NMR and glycosyl-linkage analysis. Previous reports suggest that these oligosaccharide and polysaccharide structures have prebiotic, bacterial pathogen anti-adhesion, and cholesterol-lowering activity, while anthocyanins are well-known antioxidants. A strawberry pomace microwave acid-extracted (10 min, 80 °C) fraction had high molar mass (2376 kDa) and viscosity (3.75 dL/g), with an extended rod shape. A random coil shape, that was reported previously to bind to phenolic compounds, was observed for other strawberry microwave-extracted fractions. These strawberry fiber structural details suggest that they can thicken foods, while the polysaccharide and polyphenol interaction indicates great potential as a multiple-function bioactive food ingredient important for gut and metabolic health.

Assessment of Physicochemical Properties of Orange Juice Concentrate Formulated with Pectin, Xanthan, and CMC Hydrocolloids. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE 2024; 2024:7013553.

Abstract
Orange concentrate (OC) is one of the main raw materials in the nonalcoholic beverage industry. Considering the difference in orange varieties, preserving its natural quality is essential to yield a product with favorable attributes and physical stability. Thus, the present study is aimed at assessing the effect of pectin, xanthan, and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in a concentration range of 0-0.2% (w/v) along with mixing temperature on Brix, pH, acidity, density, turbidity, and viscosity of OC and at calculating the model equation for each attribute. The results showed that, except for CMC, the influence of concentration, type, and amount of hydrocolloid on pH changes was insignificant. Adding each hydrocolloid individually, in pairs, or threes reduced the density, and the measured density was lower at a mixing temperature of 4°C. Also, it was observed that mixing temperature was the only factor influencing turbidity, and the values were significantly lower at 80°C compared to 4°C. A significant interaction effect of xanthan concentration and mixing temperature on the Brix was observed. Adding hydrocolloids, except pectin, resulted in a significant (p < 0.05) increase in viscosity, and xanthan had the greatest effect on the viscosity. A suitable model was designed using pectin and xanthan, pectin and CMC, and all three gums, resulting in a final OC product with high stability and improved physical and chemical attributes. The optimized values for Brix, pH, acidity, density, turbidity, and OC viscosity were achieved using 0.08% pectin, 0.19% xanthan, and 0.08% CMC at 80°C mixing temperature.

Application of Plant-Based Hydrocolloids on the Textural Profile of Vegan Gummies Supplemented with Turmeric and Black Pepper. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE 2024; 2024:7127635.

Abstract
Gummies belong to a confectionery category characterized by a hydrocolloid, acting as a stabilizer, forming a network to retain a high-moisture sugar syrup, and hydrocolloids play a key role in shaping the visual appeal, flavour release, and texture of the gel network. This study investigates the potential substitution of gelatin in gummies with plant-based hydrocolloids like agar-agar and guar gum. It is also aimed at optimizing the level of functional ingredients like curcumin and piperine in standardized gummies through incorporation of turmeric and black pepper, respectively. These plant-based gelling agents mimic gelatin's chewable, firm, and elastic texture, catering to broader consumption and suitability for versatile use. Consumer interest in healthier diets has spurred the transition towards plant-based functional foods, leading to the replacement of gelatin gummies with plant-based alternatives. Agar-agar significantly influences gummy texture by contributing to firmness, elasticity, and stable gel formation, imparting essential strength and consistency. Guar gum, recognized as a plant-based hydrocolloid, enhances gummy texture, consistency, and moisture retention through thickening and stabilization. While agar-agar and guar gum individually fell short in achieving the desired textural attributes in the gummies, their combined use (1% agar-agar and 5.5% guar gum) yielded optimal chewiness (1,455.12 ± 1.75 N), gumminess (2251.11 ± 2.14 N), and high overall acceptability (8.96), resembling gelatin-based gummies. The optimized formulation included 40% sugar, 2% citric acid, 2% turmeric, and 0.6% black pepper. The developed vegan gummies contained 56.9 ± 0.09 mg/100 g total phenols, 37.27 ± 1.4% antioxidant capacity, 0.054 ± 0.0012% curcumin, and 0.02 ± 0.008% piperine. Consequently, the combined use of agar-agar and guar gum emerged as stable and effective gelling agents, offering an alternative to gelatin for creating turmeric and black pepper-infused gummies with desirable texture and functional attributes.

Abstract
Drying is a necessary step in the microalgae production chain to reduce microbial load and oxidative degradation of the end product. Depending on the differences in applied temperature and treatment time, the process of drying can have a substantial impact on protein quality and aroma, important characteristics determining the incorporation potential in food products. In this study, we compared the drying of heterotrophic Chorella vulgaris with both innovative (agitated thin film drying (ATFD), pulse combustion drying (PCD) and solar drying (SolD)) and commonly used drying techniques (spray drying (SprD) and freeze drying (FD)). To evaluate the impact on protein quality, we evaluated techno-functional properties, in vitro digestibility (INFOGEST) as well as protein denaturation using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A sensory analysis was performed by a trained expert panel, combined with headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) - gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine volatile organic compounds (VOCs). ATFD was found to increase techno-functional properties such as gelling, water holding and solubility as well as in vitro protein digestibility. These observations could be related to induced cell disruption and protein denaturation by ATFD. Sensory analysis indicated an increased earthy off-flavor after ATFD. Interestingly, the high-temperature PCD led to an increase in cacao odor while low-temperature FD resulted in lower flavor, odors and VOCs. These results demonstrate that protein quality and sensorial properties of C. vulgaris can be steered through the type of drying, which could help in the selection of application-specific drying methods. Overall, this work could promote the incorporation of microalgal single cell proteins in different innovative food products.

Abstract
Background Providing educational content for children and parents can promote healthy nutritional habits. During the TITAN project, a pilot digital contest where participants have to developed ready-to-eat meatballs in sauce, using only plant-based ingredients, will be tested. The objective of this study was to develop the lexicon needed to objectively assess the sensory profile of this product. Methods Eight judges were recruited and trained. Thirteen 1-hour sessions took place over three months. The steps followed were the selection of commercial reference, generation of descriptors, training of the panel, validation of the trained panel and product characterisation. The judges chose one commercial reference (using simple hedonic evaluation) to serve as a reference. The accepted intensity scale for the generated descriptors was from 0 (low intensity) to 9 (very intense). To test the first versions of the game, food product developers involved in the project, acted as participants, and used a mix of lentils, quinoa, and oats to enhance the commercial version. R-project software was used to analyse the performance of the panel and the sensory profiles. Results A glossary with 14 descriptors was generated. The discriminatory capacity of the panel was confirmed by examining the significance of the product effect (p < 0.05). The product-judge interaction was not significant (p > 0.05) for most of the evaluated attributes, indicating a good degree of panel agreement. Overall, the panel was considered reproducible after 9 sessions. Although the appearance, firmness, fragility and chewiness were considered similar to the reference, juiciness and taste (understood as meaty flavour) of the new product were deemed improved. Conclusions According to the panel, two of the most appreciated attributes associated with meat analogues, juiciness and taste, were improved compared to the commercial reference. Therefore, the first approach for further development of the contest/game was validated.

Lee D, Jeong S, Yun S, Lee S. Artificial intelligence-based prediction of the rheological properties of hydrocolloids for plant-based meat analogues. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024. [PMID: 38284425 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13334] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Methylcellulose has been applied as a primary binding agent to control the quality attributes of plant-based meat analogues. H owever, a great deal of effort has been made to search for hydrocolloids to replace methylcellulose because of increasing awareness of clean labels. In this study, a machine learning framework was proposed in order to describe and predict the flow behavior of six hydrocolloid solutions, and the predicted viscosities were correlated with the textural features of their corresponding plant-based meat analogues. RESULTS Different shear-thinning and Newtonian behaviors were observed depending on the type of hydrocolloid and the shear rate. Methylcellulose exhibited an increasing viscosity pattern with increasing temperature, compared to the other hydrocolloids. The machine learning algorithms (random forest and multilayer perceptron models) showed a better viscosity fitting performance than the constitutive equations (power law and Cross models). In addition, three hyperparameters of the multilayer perceptron model (optimizer, learning rate, and the number of hidden layers) were tuned using the Bayesian optimization algorithm. CONCLUSION The optimized multilayer perceptron model exhibited superior performance in viscosity prediction (R2 = 0.9944-0.9961/RMSE = 0.0545-0.0708). Furthermore, the machine learning-predicted viscosities overall showed similar patterns to the textural parameters of the meat analogues. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In this work, the xanthan gum (XG) polysaccharide is studied over a wide range of temperatures and water fractions 0 ≤ hw ≤ 0.70 (on a wet basis) by employing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS). The investigation reveals that the critical water fraction for ice formation is about 0.35. Glass transition temperature (Tg) was determined through calorimetry experiments for all the samples studied. Water acts as a strong plasticizer, i.e., decreasing Tg, for water fractions up to about 0.35. A secondary (local) relaxation process is recorded in both dry and hydrated samples, which is sensitive to the presence of water molecules. This fact indicates that this process originates due to the orientation of small polar groups of the side chain, or/and due to the local main chain dynamics. Two types of long-range charge transport processes were resolved. The first is related to the conductive paths being formed via bulk-like ice structures (at high hydration levels), whereas the second can be attributed to proton mobility via the hydrogen bond (HB) network of non-freezing water existing in XG. Interestingly, this process is exactly the same in all the hydrated samples with hw > 0.25. With respect to the sample with hw = 0.27, a Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher (VTF)-like polarization process has also been recorded which seems to be related to long-range charge mobility via interconnected water clusters. As far as we are aware, this is the first time that XG is studied in terms of glass transition and molecular mobility over a wide range of hydration levels combining DSC and BDS techniques.

Abstract
Rising global food prices and the increasing prevalence of food insecurity highlight the imprudence of food waste and the inefficiencies of the current food system. Upcycling food by-products holds significant potential for mitigating food loss and waste within the food supply chain. Food by-products can be utilized to extract nanocellulose, a material that has obtained substantial attention recently due to its renewability, biocompatibility, bioavailability, and a multitude of remarkable properties. Cellulose nanomaterials have been the subject of extensive research and have shown promise across a wide array of applications, including the food industry. Notably, nanocellulose possesses unique attributes such as a surface area, aspect ratio, rheological behavior, water absorption capabilities, crystallinity, surface modification, as well as low possibilities of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. These qualities make nanocellulose suitable for diverse applications spanning the realms of food production, biomedicine, packaging, and beyond. This review aims to provide an overview of the outcomes and potential applications of cellulose nanomaterials derived from food by-products. Nanocellulose can be produced through both top-down and bottom-up approaches, yielding various types of nanocellulose. Each of these variants possesses distinctive characteristics that have the potential to significantly enhance multiple sectors within the commercial market.

Abstract
Halal is a crucial concept for Muslim consumers regarding consumed products, including pharmaceutical ingredients, which are essential in modern medicine. To address the issue of using porcine-sourced ingredients in pharmaceuticals, it is essential to search for halal alternatives derived from poultry, animal by-products from meat processing, marine sources, and plants. However, the complexity of this problem is further compounded by the rapid advances in innovation and technology, which can lead to adulteration of ingredients derived from pigs. Other challenges include the sustainability of alternative materials, management of waste or by-products practice, halal awareness, certification, government policies, religious adherence of consumers, food suppliers, marketers, and purchasing of products. The importance of halal and non-halal problems, specifically in the context of pharmaceutical materials, is still rarely discussed, including alternatives derived from poultry, animal by-products, marine sources, and plants. Due to the increasing global population, there is a growing need to increase awareness and concern among Muslim consumers for halal products, including pharmaceuticals. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the importance of halal and non-halal issues in pharmaceutical ingredients, the potential impact on the Muslim community, as well as opportunities and challenges in the search for alternative ingredients.

Abstract
Colloidal food products, such as emulsions, foams, gels, and dispersions, are complex systems that need the presence of stabilizing agents to enable their formation and provide stability. Proteins are often used for food foams and emulsions because of their ability to lower interfacial tension and make viscoelastic interfaces. Generally, to improve the resistance against rupture, polysaccharides are used in association with the proteins. Pectin is a complex polysaccharide that can help to stabilize foams or emulsions. This work aims at studying the mechanical resistance of the interface formed by mixtures of β-casein and pectin at high and low methoxylation degrees at the air/water interface using dilatational and shear kinematics. Frequency sweep tests, in the linear region, were performed in shear at different aging times and in dilatational mode, and the rheological data were analyzed. The transient data of the surface tension were analyzed by kinetic models to obtain the characteristic rates of the interfacial phenomena. The kinetic mechanisms of the protein/pectin mixed systems are controlled by protein and show a weak gel behavior for short aging times. The interfaces obtained with both pectins in a mixture with β-casein evolved with time, gelling and showing a solid-like behavior at concentrations of 1 and 10 g/L and after 3.5 h of aging time. The interfacial shear trend obtained suggests a good stabilizing effect of the pectins from citrus with long aging times.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are crucial in food as essential biomolecules, serving as natural components, ingredients, or additives. Carbohydrates have numerous applications in the food industry as stabilizers, thickeners, sweeteners, and humectants. The properties and functionality of the carbohydrates undergo alterations when exposed to various thermal or non-thermal treatments. Ultrasonication is a non-thermal method that modifies the structural arrangement of carbohydrate molecules. These structural changes lead to enhanced gelling and viscous nature of the carbohydrates, thus enhancing their scope of application. Ultrasound may improve carbohydrate functionality in an environmentally sustainable way, leaving no chemical residues. The high-energy ultrasound treatments significantly reduce the molecular size of complex carbohydrates. Sonication parameters like treatment intensity, duration of treatment, and energy applied significantly affect the molecular size, depolymerization, viscosity, structural modifications, and functionality of carbohydrate biomolecules. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of ultrasound-assisted modifications in carbohydrates and the changes in functional properties induced by sonication.

Abstract
The amount of processed by-products such as crab shells is increasing, but industrial utilization is insufficient. In our previous study, crab shell extract (CSE) acted as a coagulant for tofu manufacturing. This study aimed to reduce freeze-dried (FD) tofu breakdown by improving its physical properties through adding sodium alginate (SA). FD state in tofu helps increase storage and availability, but FD tofu frequently fractures during processing, which is a concern for manufacturers. Tofu samples were prepared with either crab shell extract (CSE) or MgCl2, and SA, and freeze-dried. In the yields of FD tofu samples, there were no significant differences (p < 0.05). The brokenness of FD tofu samples was lower in CSE than in MgCl2 and was significantly reduced by SA in both tofu samples, which was affected by hardness. The water-holding capacity decreased after freeze-drying, and CSE reduced this decrease, regardless of SA addition. The microstructures differed depending on the coagulant and were dense upon SA addition. The FD tofu was packed into a multilayer film and stored at 25 °C or 45 °C for 6 months to investigate storage stability. During the storage, brokenness was unchanged in all tofu samples, indicating that they maintained their original structure. There were no significant differences in the volatile base nitrogen and thiobarbituric acid values according to the coagulant type and SA addition (p < 0.05). In conclusion, SA reduced FD tofu breakdown by improving the network structure, which may help increase FD tofu quality and decrease economic loss.

Abstract
We present a detailed characterisation of locust bean gum (LBG), an industrially significant galactomannan, utilising asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) and light scattering. Molecular weight and size determination of galactomannans is complicated by their tendency to aggregate, even in dilute solutions; AF4 allows us to confirm the presence of aggregates, separate these from well-dispersed polymer, and characterise both fractions. For the dispersed polymer, we find Mw=9.2×105 g mol-1 and Rg,z=82.1 nm; the distribution follows Flory scaling (Rg∼Mν) with ν∼ 0.63, indicating good solvent conditions. The aggregate fraction exhibited radii of up to 1000 nm and masses of up to 3×1010 g mol-1. Furthermore, we demonstrate how both fractions are influenced by changes to filtration procedure and solvent conditions. Notably, a 200 nm nylon membrane effectively removes the aggregated fraction; we present a concentration-dependent investigation of solutions following this protocol, using static and dynamic light scattering, which reveals additional weak aggregation in these unfractionated samples. Overall, we demonstrate that AF4 is highly suited to LBG characterisation, providing structural information for both well-dispersed and aggregated fractions, and expect the methods employed to apply similarly to other galactomannans and associating polymer systems.

Abstract
Inhibiting the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the heat-processed food can reduce health risks related to diabetic complications. However, additives used for this purpose may also affect the sensory characteristics of food products. In this study, the effects of six hydrocolloids on the formation of AGEs were evaluated in the lysine-glucose model, with κ-carrageenan exhibited the highest inhibitory activity. Mechanistic investigations indicated that κ-carrageenan conjugated with the key intermediates of AGEs, namely glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO). Subsequently, the inhibitory effect of κ-carrageenan on AGEs formation in cakes was verified. The data showed that κ-carrageenan in cakes significantly inhibited the formation of fluorescent and non-fluorescent AGEs. In addition, analysis of cake characteristics and sensory evaluation showed that cakes with 1% (w/w) κ-carrageenan had the highest quality and overall acceptance. Overall, κ-carrageenan is an effective inhibitor of AGEs formation in heat-processed food.

Abstract
Fresh food products are highly prone to oxidation and microbial attack, rendering them unsuitable for consumption. Thus, active food packaging was developed to protect and prolong food shelf-life. Zein/gellan gum (GG) based active film is developed by incorporating rosemary oleoresin extract (ROE) (0-20%). The films were characterized by their barrier and antioxidant properties. The release behavior of ROE in fatty and hydrophilic food stimulants was investigated via mathematical modeling. The active films incorporated with 20% ROE have significantly higher oxygen barrier and oxygen transfer is reduced by 20% compared to the control. A tortuous path is created with ROE, which impedes oxygen movement across the film. ROE addition improved water resistance performance by reducing the active film swelling ratio by 31%. This improvement is attributed to the hydrophobic nature of ROE. FTIR shows that the interaction between ROE and the active film is primarily hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. Active film exhibits excellent antioxidant activity, with high TPC, DPPH scavenging activity, and FRAP. Mathematical modeling revealed a higher diffusivity (D) of ROE in fatty food stimulants at 24 °C, attributed to high polarity and solubility in fatty food stimulants. Overall, this active film has an excellent antioxidant effect and could potentially be used as food packaging for high-fat food products to prevent oxidation. Graphical abstract

Abstract
This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a floating raft system for the co-delivery of etoricoxib (ETO) and famotidine (FAM) using a combination of glucomannan with natural/semi-synthetic polysaccharides. Formulation variables affect gelation lag time (GLT), floating lag time (FLT), and release percentage of drugs after 1-8 h, Stability, and viscosity parameters were evaluated. In vivo X-ray studies, followed by the pharmacokinetic study, were performed on human volunteers. Formulations exhibited pseudoplastic behavior for ease of swallowing. The optimum raft system (ORS) comprised 1% Na alginate, 0.1% Low Methoxyl (LM) pectin, 0.8% Konjac glucomannan (KGL), 1% Precirol, and 1% CaCO3. ORS exhibited rapid GLT and FLT (around 42 and 8 sec respectively) in 0.1 N HCl as well as controlled release of ETO (15% in 1 h and 82% in 8 h) and FAM (29% in 1 h and 85% in 8 h). Formulation stability with the absence of any drug-excipient interactions was observed. The X-ray imaging showed a promising buoyancy ability for approximately 8 h. Compared with marketed products, ORS showed superior relative bioavailability for both drugs. These findings revealed the successful preparation of a promising raft system with improved dual drug delivery.

[PMID: 37986496 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
Controlling starch digestion in high glycaemic index staple foods such as white rice is of interest as it has been associated with reduced risk for conditions such as obesity and type-2 diabetes mellitus. Addition of hydrocolloids has been proposed to reduce the rate of post-prandial glucose by controlling the rate of starch hydrolysis. In this work, the potential of a range of hydrocolloids to modify starch digestibility when added (at 1 % maximum concentration) during cooking of white rice was first investigated. Low acyl gellan gum (LAG) showed the highest potential (in-vitro estimated Glycaemic Index reduced by about 20 %, from 94 in the control to 78 in the LAG rice) and was investigated further. While the grains of rice control and rice with LAG appeared similar, SEM images revealed a gel-like layer (a few micrometers in thickness) on the surface of the treated samples. Addition of LAG appeared to also have an effect on the breakdown of a simulated cm-sized bolus. During gastric digestion, bolus breakdown of the rice control was completed after 30 min, while the rice LAG bolus appeared intact after 1 h of observation. This was attributed to strengthening of the LAG gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. During intestinal digestion, rice samples containing 1 % LAG appeared to be less susceptible to breakdown when seen under a microscope and in environmental SEM, while they showed larger rice particle aggregates, compared to rice control. Overall, LAG showed potential to control starch digestion kinetics of white rice with a mechanism that may involve formation of a protective layer on the rice grains (um) that reduces bolus break down (cm) and enzymatic hydrolysis (nm). Outcomes of this work will be used to identify conditions for further relevant in-vitro and in-vivo investigations.

Abstract
Rice, one of the most widely consumed staples worldwide, serves as a versatile gluten-free substitute. However, review articles on technological developments in grain-free production focusing on rice are scarce. This review assesses various research results concerning the quality attributes of rice-based gluten-free foods, including bread, pasta, and beer. To optimize the key attributes in processed products, such as dough leavening in bread and the physical and cooking properties of noodles and pasta, research has focused on blending different gluten-free grains and incorporating additives that mimic the gluten function. Additionally, various processing technologies, such as starch preprocessing and extrusion puffing processes, have been employed to boost the quality of rice-based gluten-free products. Today, a variety of products, including bread, noodles, and beer, use rice as a partial replacement for barley or wheat. With rapid advancements in technology, a noticeable portion of consumers now shows a preference for products containing rice as a substitute. This trend indicates that rice-based gluten-free foods can be enhanced by leveraging the latest developments in gluten-free product technologies, particularly in countries where rice is a staple or is predominantly cultivated.

Abstract
The sensation of thirstiness is the desire to drink water. In certain situations, the ingestion of liquid water can be restricted. As a result, thirstiness is not relieved, resulting in an uncomfortable and distressing situation. The present review describes thirstiness and hydration, the food products and beverages that cause thirstiness, and the beverages and food products currently available to quench thirstiness in individuals with restricted access to liquid ingestion. It also discusses how to measure the effectiveness of calming thirstiness. To diminish thirstiness distress, different alternatives to liquids are proposed. Individuals with swallowing disorders are given thickened water, individuals with restricted water ingestion are given ice cubes or ice popsicles of different flavors, and sportspeople are given energy gels. However, current beverage solutions seem not to relieve thirst fully, although some stimuli like iced water, flavors (especially lemon and mint), or acids seem to work better than plain stimuli and could be added to existing products. Therefore, there is still a need to incorporate these strategies into beverage and food formulations and to test their effectiveness.

Abstract
Doogh is a fermented beverage made from yoghurt with water and salt. Similarly, drinks based on yoghurt are available in different countries with varying degrees of dilution, fat content, rheological properties, and taste. In this project, the use of mathematical calculations in describing rheological parameters from traditional low-fat Doogh enriched with Caspian Sea (Huso huso) gelatin (0.4 w/v %), xanthan hydrocolloids (0.4 w/v %), and their mixture at a ratio of 0.2:0.2 w/v % studied. Also, serum isolation, pH, and sensory evaluation of samples were investigated. Also, the relationship between apparent viscosity and temperature of Doogh samples using the Arrhenius equation was studied. The sensory evaluation revealed that the overall acceptance scores of the samples containing gelatin, xanthan, mix, and control were 4.31, 4.33, 4.58, and 4.12, respectively. The study on serum separation value showed control sample (45.07) and mix sample (0.84) at the end of 30 days. On the first day, the pH of the Doogh samples decreased with the addition of hydrocolloids, and this trend was time dependent. pH reduction was higher in Doogh with gelatin than in other samples. Mathematical calculations showed that the low-fat Doogh is a non-Newtonian type and shear-thinning (Pseudoplastic) fluid. The activation energy was calculated between 11.65 and 19.15 kJ/mol. According to the obtained results, it concluded that the use of two hydrocolloid compounds improved the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of the low-fat Doogh samples. Also, the Ostwald-de Waele mathematical model had a high correlation with the rheological behavior of the samples.

Abstract
Sodium salt is one of the important additives in food processing. However, excessive intake of sodium salt may cause a series of cardiovascular diseases. Nowadays, sodium intake in most countries is higher than the World Health Organization recommends maximum consumption (5 g/d). 20% of the sodium intake in diets comes from meat products. Therefore, reducing the content of sodium salt in meat products and developing sodium salt-reduction meat products have attracted more and more attention for consumers. In this paper, the roles of sodium salt in meat product processing were reviewed. At the same time, sodium salt reduction strategies and existing problems were summarized and discussed. Multiple factors need to be considered to improve the salt-reduction meat product's quality. Relying on a single technology has a narrow application area, and it is difficult to achieve salt reduction. Therefore, a combination of multiple strategies could obtain a more ideal effect.

Abstract
This study aimed at evaluating the influence of different amounts (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%) of psyllium husk gel (PHG) on wheat bread (WB) characteristics - chiefly, overall acceptability (OA), porosity, specific volume (v), mass loss after baking (ML), shape retention coefficient, crust and crumb color coordinates, bread crumb hardness during storage, saccharides content, and acrylamide (AA) concentration. PHG was prepared by mixing 100 g of psyllium husk powder with 800 mL of warm water. It was established that the amount of psyllium husk gel is a significant factor in dough redness (a*) (p < 0.001). A moderate positive correlation (r) was found between acrylamide content in wheat bread and maltose concentration in dough (r = 0.567). The psyllium husk gel increased the overall acceptability and specific volume of wheat bread. Wheat bread porosity showed a moderate positive correlation with mass loss after baking (r = 0.567) and a strong positive correlation with texture hardness (r = 0.664). Lower acrylamide content was obtained in wheat bread prepared with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% of psyllium husk gel (1.53, 2.34, 3.80, 2.69, and 3.62 times lower than the control wheat bread, respectively). Acrylamide content showed a strong positive correlation with the porosity of wheat bread (r = 0.672), with crust brightness (L*), and yellowness/blueness (b*) coordinates, as well as with crumb brightness, redness, and yellowness coordinates. Overall, psyllium husk gel hydrocolloids reduced acrylamide formation in wheat bread and can be recommended for the quality improvement of wheat bread.

Abstract
We report a simple platform for the fabrication of nonspherical alginate hydrogel particles using a dripping method. Hydrogel particles with novel morphologies, such as vortex ring, teardrop, disk, sphere, and mushroom, are fabricated by controlling various parameters. We monitored the deformation process of the hydrogel particles after they penetrated the crosslinking solution using a high-speed camera. Then, we proposed a mechanism showing a unique morphological transformation from a spherical to a disk shape. We demonstrated how controlling the collecting height that causes the drop impact force against the crosslinking solution surface was critical to producing hydrogel particles with these intriguing shapes. In particular, disk-shaped alginate particles show their ability as potential platforms for culturing mouse adrenocortical tumor cells (Y1) and a hippocampal neuronal cell (HT-22). To modify alginate particles, cell-adhesive gelatin is incorporated into the alginate matrix and then alginate particles are coated with poly(allylamine hydrochloride). Two modified alginate particles show good adhesion and proliferation rates on their surfaces. In particular, the hybrid hydrogel particles provide great potential to be developed into promising materials for cell culture, drug delivery, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Nowadays, the demand for using healthy natural pigments (betacyanins) in the food industry is increasing. The present study aimed to overcome the circumstances that render the betacyanins instability in the red dragon fruit drink using mild approaches. These included optimised fermentation, incorporation of anionic polysaccharide mixture solution [xanthan gum (XG, 0.30-0.40 %, w/v) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC, 0.50-0.90 %, w/v)] and also addition of citric acid (CA, 0.05-0.20 %, w/v). The results of this study showed that the hydrocolloid mixture solution of XG and CMC significantly increased the samples' viscosity, pH and °Brix but reduced the aw, while betacyanins concentration had no significant change. The incorporation of CA at increasing concentration only reduced the samples' pH significantly without affecting the viscosity, aw and °Brix. Among all fermented samples, Formulation 3E (0.40 % XG + 0.50 % CMC + 0.20 % CA) had achieved the desired commercial reference viscosity while also successfully minimised betacyanins degradation from 60.18 % to 14.72 %, had the best pH stability and no significant change in viscosity, aw and °Brix values after 4-week storage at 25 °C. The fermented red dragon fruit drink with betacyanins stabilised by Formulation 3E can be produced and served as an independent functional drink product and as a stable, functional ingredient (natural colourant) for the food industry.

Abstract
This study examines the time evolution of silica/water clusters where the formation of a gel network from unitary silica particles is interrupted by a simple Couette shear field. The aim is to enable the general understanding of this simple system by examining the microscopic basis for the changes in viscosity by providing structural inputs from small-angle scattering for a simple theoretical model. The experimental system is an 8.3 nm particle silica solution (Ludox) where the gelation has been initiated by lowering the pH in a Couette cell providing a constant shear rate of 250 s-1. A unified small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and ultra-small-angle neutron scattering (USANS) procedure is described to measure the scattered intensity in a wavevector range of 3 × 10-4 ≤ q (nm-1) ≤ 3.1 × 10-1, probing structural changes over a broad range of length scales from the nanometre to the micrometre. Scattering data provide a new means of better understanding the behaviour of colloidal clusters when subjected to an external applied shear over a continuous time sequence after gel initiation; a fit of the time-dependent scattered intensity leads to an estimation of the cluster's effective volume fraction and size as a function of time. A reductionist theoretical basis is described to predict the time-dependent viscosity behaviour of the sheared colloidal suspension gel-initiated cluster growth from the volume fraction of the clusters.

Abstract
Puree is commonly prescribed for patients with mastication and bolus formation difficulties, but its appearance might negatively impact appetite and intake. Molded puree is marketed to be an alternative to traditional puree, but the process of molding puree could alter the properties of the food significantly and lead to different swallowing physiology as compared to puree. The current study investigated the differences between traditional and molded puree in terms of swallowing physiology and perception in healthy individuals. Thirty two participants were included. Two outcomes were used to quantify the oral preparatory and oral phase. Fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing was used to assess the pharyngeal phase as it could retain the purees in their original form. Six outcomes were collected. Perceptual rating of the purees were provided by participants in six domains. Molded puree required significantly more masticatory cycles (p < 0.001) and longer time for ingestion (p < 0.001). Molded puree had longer swallow reaction time (p = 0.001) and more inferior site of swallow initiation (p = 0.007) compared with traditional puree. Participants' satisfaction with the appearance, texture and overall of molded puree was significantly greater. Molded puree was perceived to be more difficult to chew and swallow. This study established that the two types of puree were different in various aspects. The study also provided important clinical implications regarding the use of molded puree as a form of texture modified diet (TMD) in patients with dysphagia. The results could serve as the foundation of larger cohort studies on the effect of various TMDs on patients with dysphagia.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of konjac glucomannan (KGM) at different concentrations on the physiochemical and sensory properties of soy protein isolate (SPI), pea protein isolate (PPI), or peanut protein isolate (PNPI) compound gels were investigated. The results revealed that when the ratio of PNPI to KGM was 90:10, the denaturation temperature of PNPI could be significantly enhanced to 119.32°C by KGM modification. Concerning the textural and microstructural features, the amount of KGM addition had positive correlation with the hardness and chewiness of each compound gel, however, too much KGM addition will cause the unstable internal structure of the PNPI/KGM compound gels (70:30 and 60:40). Furthermore, sensory results indicated that PNPI/KGM (80:20), PPI/KGM (80:20), SPI/KGM (80:20) had great potential to be considered as prototypes for novel plant-based products, which generated the highest acceptance scores of 5.04, 5.94, and 5.36 in each group, respectively.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based hydrocolloids (PBHs) are a group of water-soluble polysaccharides with high molecular weight hydrophilic long-chain molecules, which are widely employed in food industry as thickeners, emulsifiers, gelling agents, and stabilizers. Pasta products are considered to be an important source of nutrition for humans, and PBHs show great potential in improving their quality and nutritional value. The hydration of PBHs to form viscous solutions or sols under specific processing conditions is a prerequisite for improving the stability of food systems. In this review, PBHs are classified in a novel way according to food processing conditions, and their gelation mechanisms are summarized. The application of PBHs in pasta products prepared under different processing methods (baking, steaming/cooking, frying, freezing) are reviewed, and the potential mechanism of PBHs in regulating pasta products quality is revealed from the interaction between PBHs and the main components of pasta products (protein, starch, and water). Finally, the safety of PBHs is critically explored, along with future perspectives. This review provides a scientific foundation for the development and specific application of PBHs in pasta products, and provides theoretical support for improving pasta product quality.

Abstract
With the world continuing to push toward modernization and the consumption of processed foods growing at an exponential rate, the demand for texturizing agents and natural additives has also risen as a result. It has become increasingly common to use thickening agents in food products to modify their rheological and textural properties and enhance their quality characteristics. They can be divided into (1) animal derived (chitosan and isinglass), (2) fermentation produced (xanthan and curdlan), (3) plant fragments (pectin and cellulose), (4) seaweed extracts (agar and alginate), and (5) seed flours (guar gum and locust bean gum). The primary functions of these materials are to improve moisture binding capacity, modify structural properties, and alter flow behavior. In addition, some have another responsibility in the food sector, such as the main ingredient in the delivery systems (encapsulation) and nanocomposites. A galactomannan polysaccharide extracted from guar beans (Cyamopsis tetragonolobus), known as guar gum (GG), is one of them, which has a wide range of utilities and possesses popularity among scientists and consumers. In the world of modernization, GG has found its way into numerous industries for use in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and explosives. Due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, it imparts significant thickening, gelling, and binding properties to the solution as well as increases its viscosity. Therefore, this study is aimed to investigate the characteristics, mechanisms, and applications of GG in different food technologies.

Abstract
Ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatments are of high economic relevance for food industries because they contribute to extending the shelf life of food products and facilitating their distribution. In the dairy segment, UHT treatments are applied to a wide range of products containing variable protein amounts. In this sense, the changes in the molecular structure of milk proteins induced by the severity of UHT treatments may lead to fouling in equipment during processing or sedimentation and/or gelation during storage. Nowadays, these concerns are even more relevant due to the increasing demand for UHT-treated high-protein beverages. This review will discuss the two main strategies used by industries to increase the stability of milk proteins during and/or after UHT treatments: (i) addition of chelating agents and (ii) use of polysaccharides. Moreover, the challenges and opportunities associated with promising strategies to improve the stability of milk proteins during and/or after UHT treatments will be covered in this review. The information compiled will be useful to guide researchers and industries in developing more stable UHT dairy products in harmony with consumers' demands.

[PMID: 37680696 PMCID: PMC10481179 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2023.100571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Consumer studies suggest that the meat-like texture of plant-based meat alternatives is crucial for the market success of these products. Many meat analogues contain wheat gluten, because it is cost-effective and give rise to nice fibrous structures. However, individuals with celiac disease cannot consume products containing wheat gluten producing a fibrous structure. To provide meat-like textures, different hydrocolloids with appropriate salt concentrations could be used. Therefore, this study investigated the influence of different hydrocolloids, including high acyl gellan gum, low acyl gellan gum, high methoxyl pectin, low methoxyl pectin, and xanthan at 2%, as well as two types of salts (CaCl2 and NaCl) at three concentrations (0%, 0.5%, and 1%) on the macrostructure, microstructure, and mechanical properties of plant-based meat alternatives containing only soy protein isolate and without wheat gluten. The addition of hydrocolloids and salts increased the cross-link bonds and structural compactness at the microscopic level and enhanced the fibrous structure at the microscopic level at different extent. These findings provide insight into how the addition of salts and hydrocolloids can effect plant-based meat alternatives without wheat gluten, which have practical implications for the food industry and are important for their success in the market.

Abstract
The increasing demand for seafood is responsible for many environmental impacts, especially caused by aquaculture. Shrimp accounts for a substantial part of seafood production and therefore also for negative effects associated with it. This work aimed to develop a mushroom-based shrimp analogue with a texture similar to shrimp using the fruiting bodies of pink oyster mushroom (Pleurotus djamor) and lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus). Three flushes of pink oyster mushrooms and a first flush of lion's mane mushroom were analysed regarding their nutritional composition and whether they are suitable shrimp alternatives. The two mushrooms are rich in proteins (∼32% and ∼26% w/w for the first flush of pink oyster and lion's mane, respectively). The protein content of pink oyster mushroom decreased and the dietary fibre content increased across the different flushes. The antioxidants in the mushrooms were extracted using different methods, whereby aqueous extracts mostly excelled in terms of antioxidant activity. Hydrolysis confirmed the presence of conjugated p-coumaric acid in both mushrooms and possibly conjugated caffeic acid in pink oyster. Texture analysis results of the prototypes were close to the values of fried shrimp. However, although the sensory qualities of the final prototypes were perceived as similar to shrimp, further improvements in the recipe are necessary to make the prototypes indistinguishable from shrimp.

Abstract
In this study, a new polysaccharide was isolated from Ocimum album L. seed (OA), and its physicochemical and rheological properties were investigated. Ocimum album polysaccharide (OAP) was an acidic heteropolysaccharide with a molecular weight of 1935 kDa, and it was composed of five types of sugars: mannose (32.95 %), glucose (27.57 %), galactose (19.29 %), rhamnose, (15.96 %) and galacturonic acid (4.23 %). According to the results obtained from Huggins and Kraemer equations, the intrinsic viscosity was 6.9 dL/g in distilled water. The OAP solutions at a concentration between 0.1 and 1.5 %, showed shear-thinning behavior, and the Herschel-Bulkley and Cross models exhibited a high ability to describe the flow behavior of OAP solutions. The apparent viscosity of 1 % OAP solution was decreased in the presence of different concentrations of NaCl (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 M), at different pHs (3-11), and in temperatures between 5 and 100 °C. Also, the pseudoplastic behavior was observed in all samples. In OAP solutions (0.1-1.5 %), the up and down curves in the shear stress-shear rate diagram did not coincide, which indicated time-dependent (thixotropic) behavior. Although, the thixotropic properties of 1 % OAP solution were weakened with adding NaCl (0.1-0.5 M) and at different pH (3-11). The results obtained from the dynamic oscillatory test showed that the OAP solutions at concentrations higher than 0.1 % had a gel-like behavior, and the viscoelastic moduli (G' and G″) were weakened in the presence of salt and with a change in pH. Also, in the temperature sweep test, the 1 % solution showed the behavior of thermally irreversible gels.

Abstract
Dietary fiber (DF) significantly affects the quality attributes of food matrices. Depending on its chemical composition, molecular structure, and degree of hydration, the behavior of DF may differ. Numerous reports confirm that incorporating DF derived from food waste into food products has significant effects on textural, sensory, rheological, and antimicrobial properties. Additionally, the characteristics of DF, modification techniques (chemical, enzymatic, mechanical, thermal), and processing conditions (temperature, pH, ionic strength), as well as the presence of other components, can profoundly affect the functionalities of DF. This review aims to describe the interactions between DF and water, focusing on the effects of free water, freezing-bound water, and unfreezing-bound water on the hydration capacity of both soluble and insoluble DF. The review also explores how the structural, functional, and environmental properties of DF contribute to its hydration capacity. It becomes evident that the interactions between DF and water, and their effects on the rheological properties of food matrices, are complex and multifaceted subjects, offering both opportunities and challenges for further exploration. Utilizing DF extracted from food waste exhibits promise as a sustainable and viable strategy for the food industry to create nutritious and high-value-added products, while concurrently reducing reliance on primary virgin resources.

Abstract
Hydrophilic polysaccharides have been widely applied as fat replacers in meat products, but their effects on the digestibility of meat proteins has seldom been studied. Replacement of backfat in emulsion-type sausage with konjac gum (KG), sodium alginate (SA) and xanthan gum (XG) were found to reduce the released amino group (-NH2) during simulated gastric digestion and initial intestinal digestion. The suppressed gastric digestibility of protein was verified by the denser structures of protein gastric digests and reduced generation of peptides in gastric digestion when a polysaccharide was added. After the whole gastrointestinal digestion, high level of SA and XG resulted in larger digests and a more obvious SDS-PAGE band between 5 and 15 kDa, and KG and SA significantly reduced the total release of -NH2. Additional of KG, SA and XG were found to the increase the viscosity of the gastric digests mixture, which could account for the reduced hydrolysis efficiency of pepsin during the gastric digestion, as evidenced in the pepsin activity study (decreased by 12.2-39.1%). This work highlights the influence of polysaccharide fat replacer on the digestibility of meat protein by changing the matrix characteristics.

Abstract
(1) Background: Carbohydrates are the most important source of nutritional energy for the human body. Carbohydrate digestion, metabolism, and their role in the gut microbiota modulation are the focus of multiple studies. The objective of this weight of evidence systematic review is to investigate the potential relationship between ingested carbohydrates and the gut microbiota composition at different taxonomic levels. (2) Methods: Weight of evidence and information value techniques were used to evaluate the relationship between dietary carbohydrates and the relative abundance of different bacterial taxa in the gut microbiota. (3) Results: The obtained results show that the types of carbohydrates that have a high information value are: soluble fiber with Bacteroides increase, insoluble fiber with Bacteroides and Actinobacteria increase, and Firmicutes decrease. Oligosaccharides with Lactobacillus increase and Enterococcus decrease. Gelatinized starches with Prevotella increase. Starches and resistant starches with Blautia decrease and Firmicutes increase. (4) Conclusions: This work provides, for the first time, an integrative review of the subject by using statistical techniques that have not been previously employed in microbiota reviews.

[PMID: 37504396 PMCID: PMC10379134 DOI: 10.3390/gels9070517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Rheology plays a crucial role in the field of extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) printing, particularly in the context of hydrogels. Hydrogels have gained popularity in 3D printing due to their potential applications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery. The rheological properties of the printing material have a significant impact on its behaviour throughout the 3D printing process, including its extrudability, shape retention, and response to stress and strain. Thus, understanding the rheological characteristics of hydrogels, such as shear thinning behaviour, thixotropy, viscoelasticity, and gelling mechanisms, is essential for optimising the printing process and achieving desired product quality and accuracy. This review discusses the theoretical foundations of rheology, explores different types of fluid and their properties, and discusses the essential rheological tests necessary for characterising hydrogels. The paper emphasises the importance of terminology, concepts, and the correct interpretation of results in evaluating hydrogel formulations. By presenting a detailed understanding of rheology in the context of 3D printing, this review paper aims to assist researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the field of hydrogel-based 3D printing in optimizing their printing processes and achieving desired product outcomes.

Abstract
The effects of hydrocolloid gum, gum arabic, carrageenan, and xanthan on the Ostwald ripening of emulsions fabricated using Brij or Tween surfactants were examined. Emulsions prepared using pure n-decane exhibited low stability to Ostwald ripening, and modifying the oil composition by mixing corn oil improved the stability to Ostwald ripening. When gums were added to emulsions prepared using pure n-decane, the stability to Ostwald ripening decreased further, except for xanthan in emulsions stabilized using Tween surfactant. This could be because gums may affect interactions between water molecules and the hydrophilic head of the surfactant, increasing the water solubility of n-decane. However, gum addition (or viscosity increment) increased the stability of emulsions prepared using the modified oil composition (90% n-decane and 10% corn oil). In conclusion, emulsions unstable to Ostwald ripening may be negatively affected by gum addition, whereas emulsions relatively stable to Ostwald ripening may be positively affected.

Abstract
Pectin methylesterases (PMEs) are enzymes that play a critical role in modifying pectins, a class of complex polysaccharides in plant cell walls. These enzymes catalyze the removal of methyl ester groups from pectins, resulting in a change in the degree of esterification and consequently, the physicochemical properties of the polymers. PMEs are found in various plant tissues and organs, and their activity is tightly regulated in response to developmental and environmental factors. In addition to the biochemical modification of pectins, PMEs have been implicated in various biological processes, including fruit ripening, defense against pathogens, and cell wall remodelling. This review presents updated information on PMEs, including their sources, sequences and structural diversity, biochemical properties and function in plant development. The article also explores the mechanisms of PME action and the factors influencing enzyme activity. In addition, the review highlights the potential applications of PMEs in various industrial sectors related to biomass exploitation, food, and textile industries, with a focus on development of bioproducts based on eco-friendly and efficient industrial processes.

Abstract
Yogurt, produced by the lactic fermentation of milk base, is an important dairy product worldwide. One of the essential sensory properties of yogurt is the texture, and some textural defects such as weak gel firmness and syneresis likely occur in various types of yogurts, affecting consumer acceptance. In this regard, various strategies such as enrichment of milk-based with different additives and ingredients such as protein-based components (skimmed milk powder (SMP), whey protein-based powders (WP), casein-based powders (CP), and suitable stabilizers, as well as modification of processing conditions (homogenization, fermentation, and cooling), can be applied in order to reduce syneresis. The most effective proteins and stabilizers in syneresis reduction are CP and gelatin, respectively. Furthermore, yogurt's water holding capacity and syneresis can be affected by the type of starter cultures, the protolithic activity, production of extracellular polysaccharides, and inoculation rate. Moreover, optimizing the heat treatment process (85 °C/30 min and 95 °C/5 min), homogenization (single or dual-stage), incubation temperature (around 40 °C), and two-step cooling process can decrease yogurt syneresis. This review is aimed to investigate the effect of fortification of the milk base with various additives and optimization of process conditions on improving texture and preventing syneresis in yogurt.

Abstract
Pereskia aculeata Miller, is an unconventional food plant native to South America. This study aimed to investigate the influence of different ultrasonic extraction times (10, 20, 30, and 40 min) on the phytochemical profile, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of ethanolic extracts obtained from lyophilized Pereskia aculeate Miller (ora-pro-nobis) leaves, an under-researched plant. Morphological structure and chemical group evaluations were also conducted for the lyophilized P. aculeate leaves. The different extraction times resulted in distinct phenolic content and Antioxidant Activity (ATT) values. Different extraction time conditions resulted in phenolic compound contents ranging from 2.07 to 2.60 mg EAG.g-1 of extract and different ATT values. The ATT evaluated by DPPH was significantly higher (from 61.20 to 70.20 μM of TE.g-1 of extract) in extraction times of 30 and 40 min, respectively. For ABTS, it varied between 6.38 and 10.24 μM of TE.g-1 of extract and 24.34 and 32.12 μM ferrous sulp.g-1 of extract. All of the obtained extracts inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, particularly the treatment employing 20 min of extraction at the highest dilution (1.56 mg.mL-1). Although liquid chromatography analyses showed that chlorogenic acid was the primary compound detected for all extracts, Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry (PS-MS) suggested the extracts contained 53 substances, such as organic, fatty, and phenolic acids, sugars, flavonoids, terpenes, phytosterols, and other components. The PS-MS proved to be a valuable technique to obtain the P. aculeate leaves extract chemical profile. It was observed that the freeze-drying process enhanced the conservation of morphological structures of P. aculeate leaves, as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) identified carboxyl functional groups and proteins between the 1000 and 1500 cm-1 bands in the P. aculeate leaves, thus favoring water interaction and contributing to gel formation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate different times (10, 20, 30 and 40 min) for ultrasound extraction of P. aculeate leaves. The polyphenols improved extraction, and high antioxidant activity demonstrates the potential for applying P. aculeate leaves and their extract as functional ingredients or additives in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
In order to enhance the range of processable alloys of laser-based powder bed fusion, reinforced alloys have gained focus. Satelliting is a recently introduced method for adding fine additives to larger parent powder particles using a bonding agent. Satellited particles prevent a local demixing due to size and density effects of the powder. In this study, the satelliting method is used for the additivation of Cr3C2 to AISI H13 tool steel via a functional polymer binder (pectin). The investigation includes a detailed binder analysis and comparison to the previously used PVA binder as well as processability in PBF-LB and the microstructure of the alloy. The results reveal that pectin is a suitable binder for the satelliting process and the demixing behavior that appears when using a simple powder blend can be significantly reduced. However, the alloy is enriched with carbon, which results in austenite being retained. Thus, in future research, a reduced binder content will be investigated.

Abstract
Gel based formulations offer an opportunity to fortify bioactives in food. However, a comparative evaluation of gel systems is scantly available. Thus, this study intended to evaluate the impact of various gel formulations (hydrogel, oleogel, emulsion gel, bigels of different compositions) on the delivery and antioxidant activity of lutein. Ethyl cellulose (EC,15 %w/w) and guar-xanthan gum mixture (1:1,1.5 %w/w) was used as oleogelator and hydrogelator, respectively. The microscopic evaluation indicated an oil-based continuous-phase for bigel with 75% oleogel. An increase in oleogel content enhanced textural and rheological properties. An increase in hydrogel composition (25%-75%) of bigel improved the lutein release (70.4%-83.2%). The highest release of lutein was recorded for emulsion gel (84.9%) and bigel with 25% oleogel (83.2%). The antioxidant activity was comparatively lower in gastric medium than simulated intestinal fluid. It could be inferred that the gel matrix significantly affected the lutein release, antioxidant profile, physiochemical and mechanical characteristics.

Abstract
23Na multiple quantum filtered (MQF) rheo-NMR methods were applied to probe the molecular foundation for flow induced self-assembly in 0.5% κ-carrageenan fluid. This method is sensitive enough to utilize an endogenous sodium ion concentration of approximately 0.02%. Rheo-NMR experiments were conducted at different temperatures and shear rates to explore varying molecular dynamics of the biopolymer in the fluid under shear. The temperature in the rheo-NMR experiments was changes from 288 K to 313 K to capture transition of κ-carrageenan molecules from helices to coils. At each temperature, the fluid was also tested for flow and oscillatory shear behaviour using bulk rheometry methods. It was found that the 23Na MQF signals were observed for the 0.5% κ-carrageenan solution only under shear and when the fluid demonstrated yielding and/or shear-thinning behaviour. At temperatures of 303 K and above, no 23Na MQF signals were observed independent of the presence or absence of shear as the molecular phase transition to random coils occurs and the fluid becomes Newtonian.

Complex coacervation and freeze drying using whey protein concentrate, soy protein isolate and arabic gum to improve the oxidative stability of chia oil. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:3322-3333. [PMID: 36750451 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.12489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chia oil (CO) is popular for being the richest vegetable source of α-linolenic acid (60-66%). However, this content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) limits the incorporation of bulk CO in food products due to its high probability of oxidation. This justifies the study of alternative wall materials for microencapsulation. No reports regarding the use of dairy protein/vegetable protein/polysaccharide blends as wall material for the microencapsulation of CO have been published. Therefore, this work analyzed the behavior of a whey protein concentrate (WPC)/soy protein isolate (SPI)/arabic gum (AG) blend as wall material. The complex coacervation (CC) process was studied: pH, 4.0; total solid content, 30% w/v; WPC/SPI/AG ratio, 8:1:1 w/w/w; stirring speed, 600 rpm; time, 30 min; room temperature. RESULTS The oxidative stability index (OSI) of CO (3.25 ± 0.16 h) was significantly increased after microencapsulation (around four times higher). Furthermore, the well-known matrix-forming ability of AG and WPC helped increase the OSI of microencapsulated oils. Meanwhile, SPI contributed to the increase of the encapsulation efficiency due to its high viscosity. Enhanced properties were observed with CC: encapsulation efficiency (up to 79.88%), OSIs (from 11.25 to 12.52 h) and thermal stability of microcapsules given by the denaturation peak temperatures of WPC (from 77.12 to 86.00 °C). No significant differences were observed in the fatty acid composition of bulk and microencapsulated oils. CONCLUSION Microcapsules developed from complex coacervates based on the ternary blend represent promising omega-3-rich carriers for being incorporated into functional foods.
