Application of seaweeds to develop new food products with enhanced shelf-life, quality and health-related beneficial properties
2017
International audience; Edible seaweeds are a good source of antioxidants, dietary fibers, essential amino acids, vitamins, phytochemicals, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and minerals. Many studies have evaluated the gelling, thickening and therapeutic properties of seaweeds when they are used individually. This review gives an overview on the nutritional, textural, sensorial, and health-related properties of food products enriched with seaweeds and seaweed extracts. The effect of seaweed incorporation on properties of meat, fish, bakery, and other food products were highlighted in depth. Moreover, the positive effects of foods enriched with seaweeds and seaweed extracts on different lifestyl…
Effect of extrusion on the anti-nutritional factors of food products: An overview
2017
International audience; Edible plant seeds such as cereals, legumes and nuts contain substantial amounts of nutrients including proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, and dietary fibers. However, the bioavailability of these nutrients in humans or animals is relatively low, particularly when they are consumed in their unprocessed or raw form. One of the major factors that contribute to a lower nutritional value of legumes and cereals is the presence of naturally-occurring anti-nutritional factors (ANFs, e.g. phytate, tannins and enzyme inhibitors) that indirectly decreasing the bioavailability status of minerals. Fortunately, these ANFs can be modified or reduced through different pro…
Current and New Insights on Molecular Methods to Identify Microbial Growth in Fruit Juices
2018
International audience; Identification of microorganisms in fruit juices plays an important role as it determines the viability of this food product from a commercial point of view. Several microorganisms use fruit as a substrate, thus causing spoilage and generating off‐flavors and odors. In addition, under favorable conditions, toxigenic fungi can produce mycotoxins in fruit juices. Conventional detection and enumeration of microorganisms using traditional plating assays are accurate and can detect low microbial contamination levels. However, in most cases they require long detection times. In recent years, the food industry has shown increased interest in developing new methods with incr…
Emerging opportunities for the effective valorization of wastes and by-products generated during olive oil production process: Non-conventional metho…
2015
Abstract Background A large amount of wastes and by-products are generated during olive oil production process. Traditionally, these products have been considered as a problem. However, they constitute a great source of high-added value compounds, which have the potential to be used as food additives and/or nutraceuticals. Therefore, valorization of wastes and by-products from food industry kills two birds with one stone and addresses both the use of waste and by-products and societal health, thus greatly contributing for a sustainable food chain from an environmental and economical point of view. Scope and approach In the present review, current and new insights in the recovery of high-add…
QSAR/QSPR approach of aroma compounds behaviour in food products
2007
National audience; Fat and flavour are important factors in food acceptance and can affect the partitioning of hydrophobic flavour molecules. Most investigations on the release of flavour of fat-free yoghurts contain multiple thickeners. The addition of thickeners separately to fat-free yoghurt has not been extensively studied. For this reason, the aim of this work was to study the effects of different thickeners (starch and pectin) on the aroma release when added separately via a model fruit preparation to industrial fat-free yoghurt. After aromatisation of the yoghurt, and then a seven-day storage period, headspace analysis using solid phase micro extraction (SPME) was carried out. To eva…
