[PMID: 37048286 PMCID: PMC10094368 DOI: 10.3390/foods12071465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Opuntia spp. are crops well adapted to adverse environments and have great economic potential. Their constituents, including fruits, cladodes, and flowers, have a high nutritional value and are rich in value-added compounds. Cladodes have an appreciable content in dietary fiber, as well as bioactive compounds such as kaempferol, quercetin, and isorhamnetin. Fruits are a major source of bioactive compounds such as phenolic acids and vitamin C. The seeds are mainly composed of unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. The flowers are also rich in phenolic compounds. Therefore, in addition to their traditional uses, the different plant fractions can be processed to meet multiple applications in the food industry. Several bakery products have been developed with the incorporation of cladode flour. Pectin and mucilage obtained from cladodes can act as edible films and coatings. Fruits, fruit extracts, and fruit by-products have been mixed into food products, increasing their antioxidant capacity and extending their shelf life. Betalains, obtained from fruits, can be used as food colorants and demonstrate promising applications as a sensor in food packaging. This work reviews the most valuable components of the different fractions of this plant and emphasizes its most recent food applications, demonstrating its outstanding value.

Abstract
Chestnut rose is an endemic plant in Guizhou Province, China, also known as seedless prickly pear, rich in mineral elements, vitamin C, and flavonoids. With chestnut rose as the main raw material, with grapes, apples, and other fruits as auxiliary ingredients, through the technical process of deastringency, sterilization, fermentation, blending, and other technical processes to obtain the composite beverage, known as a chestnut rose jiaosu compound beverage, it is hereinafter referred to as CRJCB. The CRJCB fermented from chestnut rose juice is nutritious and has a variety of health effects, and the flavor is unique, with good color, aroma, and taste, which is a new type of beverage. However, at present, the fermentation related technology of CRJCB is not perfect, resulting in its low quality, which seriously restricts the industrialization development of CRJCB. In order to improve the quality of the jiaosu compound beverage, probiotics such as Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus royale (Lactobacillus reuteri), Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Streptococcus thermophilus, etc., were used. The chestnut rose as the main raw material was used for the fermentation, and grapes, apples, and sugar were used as auxiliary materials to carry out the research on the fermentation of single or mixed probiotics. The key fermentation processes affecting the quality of the jiaosu, such as juice preparation, deastringency of chestnut rose juice, fermentation temperature and time, sugar addition, and taste mixing of the jiaosu, were optimized. The optimized ratio, fermentation process parameters, and strains of probiotics of compound beverage with chestnut rose jiaosu, with high quality, were obtained. The experimental results showed that the SOD enzyme activity value was 167.7 U·ml−1, the vitamin C content was 1154.5 mg/100 mL, the soluble solids content was 5.80%, and the nitrite content was 89.8 mg/kg in the compound beverage with chestnut rose jiaosu, obtained by using the optimized ratio and fermentation process parameters proposed in this paper. The development and utilization of chestnut rose resources provide a new idea and is of great significance in promoting the development of the chestnut rose industry.

Abstract
Functional nutrition, which includes the consumption of fruit juices, has become the field of interest for those seeking a healthy lifestyle. Functional nutrition is also of great interest to the food industry, with the aims of improving human health and providing economic prosperity in a sustainable manner. The functional food sector is the most profitable part of the food industry, with a fast-growing market resulting from new sociodemographic trends (e.g., longer life expectancy, higher standard of living, better health care), which often includes sustainable concepts of food production. Therefore, the demand for hurdle technology in the food industry is growing, along with the consumption of minimally processed foods, not only because this approach inactivates microorganisms in food, but because it can also prolong the shelf life of food products. To preserve food products such as fruit juices, the hurdle technology approach often uses non-thermal methods as alternatives to pasteurization, which can cause a decrease in the nutritional value and quality of the food. Non-thermal technologies are often combined with different hurdles, such as antimicrobial additives, thermal treatment, and ultraviolet or pulsed light, to achieve synergistic effects and overall quality improvements in (functional) juices. Hence, hurdle technology could be a promising approach for the preservation of fruit juices due to its efficiency and low impact on juice quality and characteristics, although all processing parameters still require optimization.

Abstract
Traditional medicine has led to the discovery of important active substances used in several health-related areas. Phytochemicals in Rhoeo discolor extracts have proven to have important antimicrobial activity. In the present study, our group determined the antimicrobial effects of extracts of Rhoeo discolor, a plant commonly used in Mexico for both medicinal and ornamental purposes. We evaluated the in vitro activity of phenolic rich extracts against specifically chosen microorganisms of human health importance by measuring their susceptibility via agar-disc diffusion assay and flow cytometry: Gram-positive Listeria innocua and Streptococcus mutans, Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and lastly a fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Ten different extracts were tested in eight different doses on all the microorganisms. Analytical data revealed a high content of phenolic compounds. Both agar-disc diffusion assay and flow cytometry results demonstrated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the least affected by extract exposure. However, low doses of these extracts (predominantly polar), in a range from 1 to 4 μg/mL, did produce a statistically significant bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect on the rest of the microorganisms. These results suggest the addition of certain natural extracts from Rhoeo discolor could act as antibacterial and antimycotic drugs or additives for foods and cosmetics.
