Abstract
Lipid accumulation in adipocytes occurs through multifactorial effects such as overnutrition due to unbalanced eating habits, reduced physical activity, and genetic factors. In addition, obesity can be intensified by the dis-regulation of various metabolic systems such as differentiation, lipogenesis, lipolysis, and energy metabolism of adipocytes. In this study, the Jeju roasted peel extract from Citrus unshiu S.Markov. (JRC), which is discarded as opposed to the pulp of C. unshiu S.Markov., is commonly consumed to ameliorate obesity. To investigate the anti-obesity effect of JRC, these studies were conducted on differentiated 3T3-L1 cells and in high-fat diet-induced mice, and related methods were used to confirm whether it decreased lipid accumulation in adipocytes. The mechanism of inhibiting obesity by JRC was confirmed through mRNA expression studies. JRC suppressed lipid accumulation in adipocytes and adipose tissue, and significantly improved enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyl transferase and serum lipid profiles. In addition, it effectively modulated the expression of genes related to lipid and energy metabolism in adipose tissue. As a result, these findings suggest that JRC could be a therapeutic regulator of body fat accumulation by significantly alleviating the dis-regulation of intracellular lipid metabolism in adipocytes and by enhancement of energy metabolism (Approval No. CNU IACUC-YB-2023-98).

Demircan B, Velioglu YS, Giuffrè AM. Comparison of different drying methods for bergamot peel: Chemical and physicochemical properties. J Food Sci 2024; 89:1498-1516. [PMID: 38317407 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of seven drying methods applied to bergamot peels, encompassing hot air, microwave, infrared-assisted microwave, freeze, infrared, sun, and oven drying. All samples exhibited moisture content and water activity levels within the acceptable range for dry foods. All methods effectively transformed the peels into powdered form, yielding comparable results. Each method offers distinct advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of method should be based on the desired properties of the final product. The highest ascorbic acid content was found in freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples (>400 mg/100 g), whereas sun-dried samples had the lowest (89.58 mg/100 g). Infrared-dried samples exhibited the highest levels of total phenolics and flavonoids (193.40 and 530.14 mg/100 g, respectively), attributed to reactions induced by elevated temperatures. The total carotenoids were higher in freeze-dried samples (54.12 mg/100 g) compared to other drying methods (<27 mg/100 g). Microwave-dried samples had the highest 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content (73.06 mg/100 g), and freeze-dried samples had the highest naringin content (1568.70 mg/100 g). Although infrared drying had good particle density, porosity, and fluidity, freeze-drying was the most effective, retaining the highest levels of bioactive compounds. Among the methods studied, freeze-drying is recommended due to its superior ability to preserve bioactive compounds. Infrared and infrared-assisted drying methods were suitable for recovering phenolics from bergamot waste, offering lower energy consumption and practical preservation of physicochemical properties. This study emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate drying method to ensure high-quality dried food and producing value-added products from bergamot waste, contributing to sustainable agriculture and waste reduction. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study demonstrates that infrared and freeze-drying are the most effective methods for producing high-quality bergamot peel samples with enhanced antioxidant properties. These findings hold promising implications for the food industry, offering a viable approach to preserve bergamot peels and their valuable attributes.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28031079. [PMID: 36770746 PMCID: PMC9920512 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28031079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Peach leaf orange dark tea (ODT) is a fruity tea made by removing the pulp from peach leaf orange and placing dry Qingzhuan tea into the husk, followed by fixing them together and drying. Since the quality of traditional outdoor sunlight fixing (SL) is affected by weather instability, this study explored the feasibility of two new fixing methods, including hot air fixing (HA) and steam fixing (ST). Results showed that fixing method had a great impact on ODT shape, aroma, and taste. Compared with SL and ST, HA endowed ODT with higher fruit aroma, mellow taste, better coordination, and higher sensory evaluation score. Physical-chemical composition analysis showed that SL-fixed orange peel was higher than HA- or ST-fixed peel in the content of polyphenols, flavonoids, soluble protein, hesperidin and limonin, while HA has a higher content of volatile substances and contains more alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, and acid and esters than ST and SL. Activity analysis showed that HA was superior to ST or SL in comprehensive antioxidant activity and inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase. Comprehensive results demonstrated that HA has better performance in improving ODT quality and can replace the traditional SL method in production.

Abstract
Astragali Radix (AR), which is extensively used as a healthy food supplement and medicinal herb, contains two forms of products corresponding to raw Astragalus Radix (RAR) and processed Astragali Radix (PAR), which was obtained by roasting. In this study, a non-targeted rapid resolution liquid chromatography coupled with quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometry (RRLC-Q/TOF-MS) based metabolomics approach was developed to investigate the chemical changes of AR due to roasting. A total of 63 compounds were identified or tentatively identified. Among them, 23 isoflavonoids (composed of 12 isoflavones, eight pterocarpans, and three isoflavans) and six cycloastragenols were characterized as differential metabolites. Heatmap visualization and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array and evaporative light scattering detector (HPLC–PDA-ELSD) quantitative analysis revealed that malonyl isoflavonoids or cycloastragenols were at higher levels in RAR. These might be converted to corresponding acetyl isoflavonoids and cycloastragenols and related isoflavonoid glycosides during roasting. To prove this prediction, chemical conversion experiments on malonyl isoflavonoids and cycloastragenols were performed to confirm and clarify the chemical transformation mechanism.

Abstract
Roasting has been widely used in manufacturing food products, ensuring microbial safety, and improving extraction efficiency. Roasting treatment affects various qualities such as the chemical composition, physical properties, colour, aroma, and texture of food. This study determined the effect of novel convection heated roasting on aroma and taste components, that is, amino acids (AAs) and nucleotides in vegetables, meat, and their products. Heat treatment conditions were confirmed with a temperature condition of 250°C for 20–50 min for each raw material. The individual raw materials were each subjected to a convection oven process, then mixed together, and pressurised by heating at 121°C for 3 hours to prepare a key-based broth for use in Korean soup dishes. As for aroma components, aroma of fermented spirits, unpleasant aroma, and bad aroma were observed in the absence of roasting. By contrast, convection heated roasting-related aroma components such as savoury fatty aroma, coffee aroma, and roasted barley aroma were observed in the finished products after roasting. The products’ sensory profile presumably changed from negative to positive owing to roasting. By roasting, in the case of raw material extracts, the total AA and glutamic acid contents increased to 24.1–38.1%, and for the finished product, the total AA and glutamic acid contents slightly increased to 5.8–8.9%. However, no significant effect of roasting was found on nucleotides. In conclusion, it was concluded that the positive aroma component as well as the total amount of AA (umami taste) increased owing to roasting. The present results contribute immensely to the food industry as the enhancement of taste and aroma can help with the production of more palatable foods as desired by food consumers, thereby increasing the sales of nutritious foods that otherwise consumers may not buy.

Abstract
Leaves of Lippia thymoides (Verbenaceae) were dried in an oven at 40, 50 and 60 °C and the kinetic of drying and the influence of the drying process on the chemical composition, yield, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the obtained essential oils were evaluated. The composition of the essential oils was determined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-flame ionization detection analyses. The influence of drying on the chemical composition of the essential oils of L. thymoides was evaluated by multivariate analysis, and their antioxidant activity was investigated via the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The Midilli model was the most appropriate to describe the behavior of drying kinetic data of L. thymoides leaves. Thymol was the major compound for all analyzed conditions; the maximum content was obtained from fresh leaves (62.78 ± 0.63%). The essential oils showed DPPH radical scavenging activity with an average of 73.10 ± 12.08%, and the fresh leaves showed higher inhibition (89.97 ± 0.31%). This is the first study to evaluate the influence of drying on the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of L. thymoides essential oils rich in thymol.
