There is an urgent need for affordable, abundant, nutritionally balanced, and sustainable sources of proteins to meet the food demands of the growing global population. The utilization of sunflower meal/cake proteins (SMPs) in the food industry is currently limited due to their high levels of...

Understanding mechanisms inside the conche is inevitable for targeted conching. Therefore, distribution and transition of aroma-active volatiles (acetic acid, benzaldehyde, (R, S)-(±)-linalool, 2, 3, 5, 6-tetramethylpyrazine, 2-phenylethanol, and 2-phenylethyl acetate) between the different...

Phytosterols reduce cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein concentrations in humans. The use of phytosterols is restricted due to their high melting temperature, low water solubility, and chalky taste. In addition, due to its structure, it is easily oxidized and its absorption and bioavailability...

Extruded yam flour was prepared at different feed moisture to improve its instant properties. The water solubility index (WSI) and water absorption index (WAI) were used to compare the instant properties of yam flour. Their chemical compositions, particle size distribution, crystalline structure,...

Using molecular docking and multispectral analytical techniques, the present work investigates the binding characteristics between hexanal and β-lactoglobulin at near neutral pH and ambient temperature. Fluorescence quenching demonstrates that binding between β-lactoglobulin and hexanal is of low...

Blackcurrant pomace (BP) is currently rarely used in human nutrition, although it contains a high amount of dietary fibre (-60%). A proper enrichment of foods could provide a good opportunity to improve the recommended daily fibre intake. Yoghurt, as a dispersed system, with high consumer...

The in-vitro digestive properties of myofibrillar protein (MP) in mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) after freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles were analyzed in terms of the relationship between protein degradation, oxidation, and structural properties. The F-T samples exhibited a significant increase in...

The practical application of luteolin in food systems faces challenges due to its inherent instability. This study aimed to develop luteolin-loaded liposomes coated with whey protein isolate (WPI) to enhance the thermal stability and antioxidant activity of luteolin. The physical characteristics of ...

The separation of valuable sugar components from a xylose mother liquor (XML) requires a pre-decolorization over a resin, however the market-available resins show a low performance. To overcome this drawback, an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) resin was designed for efficiently removing the...

The aim of this study was to determine the ability of probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus pentosus starter cultures to maintain Olea europaea L. cv. Gemlik fermentation and some chemical changes occurred by HPLC. It was observed that starter cultures decreased the pH by...
