D-Psicose, as a low-calorie rare sugar, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years for alternating to sucrose. The anti-obesity effect of D-psicose has been extensively confirmed in previous studies, however, the impact of D-psicose on colitis remains vague. Here, we firstly evaluated the...

Elucidating the molecular mechanisms controlling fruit development is a primary target for the improvement of new apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) cultivars. The first two weeks of development following pollination are crucial to determine fruit characteristics. During this period, a lot of changes ...

Flavor and spice are largely consumed in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. A novel coronavirus, recently named the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first identified in humans in Wuhan, China in 2019. This study is to examine whether flavor components...

The present study sought to evaluate the effects and mechanisms of mannitol and xylitol on the regeneration of spicy wheat gluten sticks (SWGSs) through texture profile analysis (TPA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD),...

Successful sucrose replacement in cake systems requires thorough understanding of its functionality. Time-domain ¹H NMR showed that water in the viscous aqueous phase isolated from cake batter by ultracentrifugation [i.e. the batter liquor (BL)] exhibits low mobility by its low T₂ relaxation time...

The qualitative X-ray phase analysis of natural and artificial food sweeteners was applied to trace the authenticity of such food additives. The mineral composition of different sweeteners commonly added to foods was studied to estimate their mineral profiles and assess the risk related to the...

In this study, the principal component analysis method was used to evaluate the relationships between quantitative and qualitative parameters of muffin with reduced sugar. The principal component analysis (PCA) method is a useful tool for interpreting and finding relationships in a set of...

Chocolate is a popular and widely consumed product in different ages, however, the demand of consumers has increased for healthy chocolate with free or low sugar in recent years. The objective of present research is to substitute the sucrose of chocolate with D-tagatose and lemon essential oil for...

Using Dendrobium powder and potato powder as raw materials,a compound meal powder of Dendrobium and potato was prepared by single factor experiment and response surface experiment, and the glycemic production index (Glycemic index,GI) was obtained by measuring the postprandial blood glucose value....

Ginseng, Polygonati Rhizoma and wolfberry mixed extract(RHG) which consists of ginseng, Polygonati Rhizoma and wolfberry, is the main ingredient of RHG beverage. The neuroprotective effects of RHG on Caenorhabditis elegans were investigated and the beverage formulation was optimized by...
