Effect of partial replacement of meat by carrot on physicochemical properties and fatty acid profile of fresh turkey sausages: a chemometric approach
2020
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the modification of physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid composition of fresh turkey sausages manufactured including carrot (Daucus carota L.) as a vegetable source (i.e., 10%, 20% and 30%, w/w). RESULTS The results were compared with sausages used as controls (i.e., containing 100% turkey meat, w/w). Overall, significant differences were detected for all of the evaluated attributes. The inclusion of 20% and 30% carrot (w/w) in the sausages resulted in a reduction of the lipid content (by 5.42 and 5.26 g/100 g, respectively) and reduced energy value (-7.6%). The color parameters were strongly affected by the inclusion of carrot, recording a signific…
Persistence of a mixed lactic acid bacterial starter culture during lysine fortification of sourdough breads by addition of pistachio powder
2020
Abstract Pistachio powder was added to flour or semolina to evaluate its contribution to increase the amount of lysine in bread. Bread production was carried out by sourdough technology using a selected 3-species (Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis/Leuconostoc citreum/Weissella cibaria) lactic acid bacterial (LAB) starter culture. All sourdoughs were subjected to a long-time fermentation (21 h) and showed levels of LAB around 109 CFU/g, indicating the suitability of pistachio powder for lactic fermentation. Yeasts were also detected, in particular in semolina trials. MiSeq Illumina technology was applied to investigate the bacterial composition of sourdoughs evidencing a different distribution …
Applications of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for food analysis.
2012
Abstract HPLC–MS applications in the agrifood sector are among the fastest developing fields in science and industry. The present tutorial mini-review briefly describes this analytical methodology: HPLC, UHPLC, nano-HPLC on one hand, mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) on the other hand. Analytical results are grouped together based on the type of chemicals analyzed (lipids, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, vitamins, flavonoids, mycotoxins, pesticides, allergens and food additives). Results are also shown for various types of food (ham, cheese, milk, cereals, olive oil and wines). Although it is not an exhaustive list, it illustrates the main current directions of appli…
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…
Qualitative screening of 116 veterinary drugs in feed by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry: potential application to quantitati…
2014
Abstract Veterinarian and human pharmaceuticals may be intentionally added to animal feed to enhance animal production. Monitoring these substances is necessary for protecting the consumers. In this work, a screening method covering 116 human and veterinary drugs has been developed and validated in five types of animal feed at 0.02 and 0.2 mg kg−1. After a simple extraction and dilution, the samples were analysed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF MS). Nearly all compounds tested were detected at 0.02 mg kg−1, based on the presence of the accurate-mass (de)protonated molecule. However, the identification using a…
Influence of alginate emulsion-based films structure on its barrier properties and on the protection of microencapsulated aroma compound
2009
In recent years the use of natural polymers coming from renewable sources has greatly increased due to the over-solid packaging waste and dwindling petroleum reserves. Biopolymer films, which contain both lipid and polysaccharide ingredients to form complex packaging enable us to obtain edible films with good mechanical and water barrier properties as emulsified alginate edible films. Moreover, these can be considered to encapsulate active molecules as flavours. The aim of this work is to better understand the influence of the composition and the structure of the film matrix on its barrier properties and thus on its capacity to protect encapsulated active substances. Granulometry, Different…
Analiza etykiet produktów żywnościowych dostępnych w obrocie handlowym w Polsce pod kątem obecności barwników
2016
Barwniki spożywcze są nieodzownym elementem produkcji. Ich zawartość w artykułach żywnościowych jest ściśle limitowana obostrzeniami prawnymi. Ograniczenia zawartości poszczególnych barwników lub nawet zakaz ich stosowania w niekutych krajach związany jest z potencjalnym zagrożeniem dla zdrowia konsumenta. Celem przeprowadzonych badań była ocena występowania barwników w różnych kategoriach produktów spożywczych dostępnych w obrocie handlowym na terenie Opolszczyzny, w oparciu o składy podane na opakowaniach. Materiał badawczy stanowiło 197 produktów spożywczych różnych marek przyporządkowanych do 8 kategorii. Analizę składu artykułów spożywczych dokonano w oparciu o informacje zawarte przez…
The Effect of Some Commercial Fibers on Dough Rheology
2011
Bread is largely consumed and could be used as a carrier for different nutrients. Fibers play an important role in human nutrition but the bread are depleted in this nutrient. For fibers, supplementation could be used different sources. The fibers needed to be tested before their use in breadmaking. This work investigates how some commercial fibers (Exafine, Apple AF12, Potato KF 200, Oat HF 200 and Wheat WF400) influence the rheology of dough at 10 and 15 % addition. All fibers increased the water absorption and development time because of competition for water between fibers and flour component. Product Apple AF12 deteriorates the dough rheology by dough stability reduction and increases …
Pulsed electric field (PEF) as an efficient technology for food additives and nutraceuticals development
2020
Abstract The use of pulsed electric field (PEF) technology has been extensively investigated in the area of food pasteurization and gene transfection. In the recent years the technology has also shown promising application in the development of various plant- and microorganism-based added-value compounds. The main working principle of PEF is electroporation or electropermeabilization of cell membranes. The pretreatment of biological tissues with PEF improves mass transfer during solvent extraction of metabolites and thereby increases the extraction efficiency. Moreover, the application of PEF at lower intensity has shown to induce stress on the biological tissues that in turn improves the a…
High Resolution-magic Angle Spinning NMR Study of Olive Leaves
2013
In recent years HR-MAS 1H NMR spectroscopy has proven to be a useful tool for the rapid determination of the metabolic profile of several solid and semisolid foods, such as fruits and vegetables, cheese and meat. Olive leaves are today recognized as direct sources of bioactive compounds and natural antioxidants (flavonoids, secoiridoids) suitable as food additives, and their extracts form the basis of beauty care products and pharmaceutical supplements. Thus, olive leaves are emerging as a new and potentially important product for olive tree growing regions. In this report we present the application of 1H and 13C HR-MAS 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy for the characterization and analysis of tri…
