Abstract
BACKGROUND Nitrogen (N) fertilization influences plant growth and yield, and may also affect fruit quality. For two consecutive seasons, we examined the effects of various N fertilization levels - 5 to 200 mg L-1 - on pomegranate fruit, aril and juice quality. Evaluations included fruit and aril weight, size and color, appearance of peel blemishes, internal black rot and nutritional composition of extracted juices. RESULTS Nitrogen fertilization affected pomegranate fruit, aril and juice quality. The most pronounced effects were observed in trees grown under the lowest N fertilization level, which bore smaller fruit and arils, the latter with lighter color; the fruit suffered from sunburn, and the juice had lower total soluble solid, acidity and anthocyanin contents. The proportion of edible aril weight per total fruit weight gradually increased with an increase in N fertilization concentration. In contrast, N fertilization did not affect peel color, roughness or cracking incidence. Black rot incidence increased with increasing N concentration. CONCLUSIONS Nitrogen fertilization affected pomegranate fruit, aril and juice quality, and the total number of marketable fruits per tree. The optimal N fertilization levels, which were most beneficial for achieving high-quality marketable fruit, were between 40 and 100 mg L-1 . © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the protective effects of chokeberry juice and silymarin against chemical-induced liver fibrosis in rats. Liver fibrosis was induced by CCl4 administered two days a week for six weeks. Two groups of rats were co-treated with chokeberry juice, 10 mL/kg/day. or silymarin as a positive control, 100 mg/kg/day for six weeks. Hepatic lipid peroxidation was suppressed by 50% and the activity of hepatic antioxidant enzymes was increased by 19%–173% in rats co-treated with CCl4 and substances tested as compared to rats administered CCl4 alone. Hepatic hydroxyproline was decreased by 24% only in rats treated with silymarin. The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of fibrosis-related molecules, procollagen I, α-SMA, TIMP-1, TGFβ, and TNFα, which were significantly increased in the liver of CCl4-treated rats, were not modulated by substances tested. Histological evaluation revealed a slight protective effect of silymarin against fibrosis. However, in CCl4 + chokeberry-treated rats, the density of vacuolated hepatocytes was significantly lower than that in silymarin administered animals. Chokeberry juice did not demonstrate an antifibrotic effect in the applied experimental model of fibrosis, and the effect of the known antifibrotic agent, silymarin, was very limited.

Abstract
The bacterial disease Huanglongbing (HLB) has been causing large economic losses in the citrus industry worldwide. Aimed at unraveling the mechanisms of scion/rootstock combination on improving HLB-affected orange juice quality, a specific scion/rootstock combination field trial was designed using three sibling rootstocks and two late-maturing sweet orange scion cultivars. Scion/rootstock combination significantly improved the overall consumer liking of orange juice from the HLB-affected trees. Rootstocks showed significant effects on the consumer liking and overall flavor, while scions had significant effects on the freshness and overall orange flavor intensity of the juice. A PLS-DA model combined with KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and some biomarker metabolites further indicated that scions mainly affected metabolism of alanine, aspartate, and glutamate in orange fruits. Meanwhile, rootstocks had an impact on the biosynthetic pathways of secondary metabolites. Sugars and organic acids were not closely correlated with the overall liking and sensory perception of orange juice. Rather, flavonoids, terpenoids, and volatile aromas played important roles in improving consumer overall liking. These results indicated that an optimum tolerant scion/rootstock combination can make a positive contribution toward improved fruit or juice quality from HLB-affected citrus trees.

Advantages of microfiltration processing of goat whey orange juice beverage. Food Res Int 2020; 132:109060.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological, physicochemical and functional quality of an innovative goat whey orange juice beverage (GOB) processed by microfiltration. The microfiltration (0.2 µm) of the GOBs had a variation on the feed temperature (20, 30, 40, 50 °C) and were compared to the conventional heat treatment LTLT (63 °C/30 min). Microbiological (aerobic mesophilic bacteria, mold and yeast and lactic bacteria), physicochemical (pH, color, rheology and volatile compounds) bioactive compounds (acid ascorbic, total phenolics) and functional activity (DPPH, ACE, α-amilase and α-glucosidase) analysis were performed. The GOB processed by microfiltration using at least 30 °C presented adequate microbial counts (less than 4, 3 and 4 log CFU/mL, for AMB, molds and yeasts and LAB, respectively). In general, the pH, color parameters, volatile and bioactive compounds were not influenced by microfiltration temperature, but presented a difference from the LTLT processing. The rheological parameters were influenced by MF temperature and the utilization of temperatures of 20° and 30 °C maintained the consistency similar to the LTLT sample, preserving the compounds responsible for the texture. Therefore, it is suggested a processing of GOB by microfiltration using mild temperatures (between 30° and 40 °C) to preserve consistency and also obtain a desirable microbial quality, beyond the preservation of many functional properties and volatile compounds.

Abstract
This work proposes a novel approach based on the real-time monitoring of the fining process of apple juices by static multiple light scattering. The change in transmission was used to determine the fining effectiveness of three vegetable proteins, respectively, red lentil, green lentil, and green pea proteins. Further treatment with gelatin-bentonite was used as a control. The modified Gompertz function was applied to fit the transmission signals. According to (1) the rate of flocculation and (2) the rate of sedimentation, the best fining efficiency was achieved by red lentil, which was similar to that of gelatin-bentonite and higher than green lentil and green pea proteins. This ranking was obtained at any dose from 60 to 900 mg per liter of juice. The results suggest the use of red lentil as a potential fining agent for apple juices and highlight the advantages of using static multiple light scattering technique as a quality control tool for studying the kinetics of the fining process. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The study proposed the use of vegetable proteins as fining agents for apple juices. Their efficiency was ably monitored in real time by static multiple light scattering.

Ma B, Zheng ZM. Canopy reflectance, stalk sugar and juice yields in specialty corn hybrids as affected by nitrogen management strategies. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2020; 100:1080-1091.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The newly developed sugarcorn is conceived for dual-purpose use as a potential biofuel feedstock and a high-energy silage crop. Its agronomic traits are, however, not fully appraised under the umbrella of nitrogen (N) management and with canopy reflectance indicator. A 3-year field study was conducted to examine the responses of silage biomass, stalk sugar concentration, sugar and juice yields to various N applications; and determine the quantitative relationships between canopy reflectance, expressed as the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and stalk sucrose or other sugar measures in a dual-purpose sugarcorn (cv. 'CO384xC103'), in comparison with a commercial leafy silage-specific hybrid (cv. 'Pride A5892G3 EDF'). RESULTS The moderate N rate, 125 kg ha-1 , produced similar stalk sucrose, silage and grain yields, compared to the high rate (250 kg N ha-1 ), regardless of application methods. The NDVI signatures measured at the V8-V10 stage exhibited significant (P < 0.01) and exponential relationships with stalk sucrose concentrations, sucrose and juice yields at the R3 stage, and with silage yield at approximately 65% whole-plant moisture, the optimum silage-harvest window. CONCLUSION The results indicate that the moderate N rate, 125 kg ha-1 , which is recommended for conventional grain corn production in the region, was likely close to the economic optimum N rate for leafy silage-specific and sugarcorn. Canopy reflectance, measured at the early growth stages, can be used as a potential indicator of sugar and silage production, and this quantitative relationship necessitates further evaluation with more genotypes and under wide environmental conditions. © 2019 Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada Journal of The Science of Food and Agriculture © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pomegranate has antioxidant, cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. We designed a crossover study aimed at determining if consumption of pomegranate juice (PJ) improves lipid profile and oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers of hemodialysis patients. Forty-one hemodialysis patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: PJ-treated group receiving 100 mL of natural PJ immediately after their dialysis session three times a week and the control group receiving the usual care. After 8 weeks, a 4-week washout period was established and then the role of the groups was exchanged. Lipid profile, blood pressure and oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers were measured before and after each sequence. RESULTS Based on the results of intention-to-treat analysis, triglycerides were decreased in PJ condition and increased in the controls. Conversely, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was increased in PJ and decreased in the control group. Total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol did not significantly change in either condition. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly decreased in PJ condition. Total antioxidant capacity increased in PJ condition (P < 0.001) and decreased in the controls (P < 0.001). Conversely, malondialdehyde and interleukin-6 decreased in PJ (P < 0.001) and increased in the control group (P ≤ 0.001). The changes of these biomarkers were significantly different between the two conditions. CONCLUSIONS Eight-week PJ consumption showed beneficial effects on blood pressure, serum triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, oxidative stress and inflammation in hemodialysis patients. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Huanglongbing (HLB) disease has reduced orange yield and flavor quality in Florida. Orange juice (OJ) and peel molasses (PM) compounds are "from the named fruit" (FTNF) and were tested for their effects on HLB-affected OJ taste. These and other "target" compounds, reportedly found in citrus, were spiked into off-flavored, HLB-affected reference juices. The spiked juice was evaluated by a sensory panel in comparison with unspiked juice for "sweetness", "sourness", "bitterness", "astringency", and "aftertaste". Of the target compounds, feruloyl putrescine, taxifolin, and neodiosmin most effectively reduced "bitterness", feruloyl putrescine reduced "astringency" and "aftertaste", while feruloyl putrescine and neodiosmin enhanced perceived "sweetness", perhaps due to reduced bitterness. OJ and PM fractions containing reported bitter limonoids, hydroxycinnamates, hesperidin, and/or polymethoxylated flavones enhanced "sourness', "bitterness", "astringency", and "aftertaste", and/or suppressed perceived "sweetness" (perhaps due to enhanced bitterness). Other fractions, containing feruloyl putrescine and/or vicenin-2 enhanced "sweetness" and reduced "bitterness", "sourness", "astringency", and/or "aftertaste". These potentially FTNF compounds may be useful for management of HLB-affected OJ juice flavor.

Abstract
The off-flavor produced after thermal stabilization of mandarin (Citrus reticulata, Blanco) juices has limited the production of commercial juices. Methanethiol, a putrid-smelling sulfur volatile, has been identified for the first time in heated mandarin juices. Identification was achieved using a combination of capillary gas chromatography with two dissimilar columns and a dual sulfur-specific pulsed flame photometric detector and selected ion mass spectrometry detection. Static headspace solid-phase microextraction quantitation found that average odor activity values (OAVs) in heated juices were 25.5 for methanethiol compared to 10.8 for dimethyl sulfide. OAVs for methanethiol and dimethyl sulfide in fresh juices were ND (not detected) and 5.5, respectively. Hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, and dimethyl disulfide were also identified and quantitated. Thermal decomposition studies of nonvolatile sulfur-containing potential precursors indicated that methionine was the major source of methanethiol. Additional heating studies with model juices demonstrated that ascorbic acid greatly accelerated the formation of methanethiol and methional, as well as dimethyl di and tri sulfides.

Abstract
Ascorbic Acid (AA) is a natural and powerful water-soluble antioxidant associated with long-lasting food products. As time passes, the AA content in products sharply decreases, and they become increasingly degraded. There are several techniques to precisely quantify AA concentrations. However, most of them employ costly laboratory instruments, such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) or complex electrochemical methods, which make unfeasible recurrent AA measurements along the entire supply chain. To address this issue, we contribute with an in-field and real-time voltammetric method, carried out with a low-cost, easy-to-use, and portable device. An unmodified Screen-Printed Electrode (SPE) is used together with the device to achieve short reading times. Our method has been extensively tested in two multifruit juices using three different SPEs. Calibration curves and Limit of Detection were derived for each SPE. Furthermore, periodic experiments were conducted to study the shelf life of juices under consideration. During the analysis, a set of assays for each SPE were implemented to determine the remaining AA amount per juice and compare it with that obtained using HPLC under the same conditions. Results revealed that our cost-effective device is fully comparable to the HPLC equipment, as long as the juice does not include certain interferents; a scenario also contemplated in this article.

Abstract
Patulin is a toxic mycotoxin usually associated with apple products. Due to its unhealthy effects for humans, its content is regulated by the food safety authorities. The removal or degradation of this mycotoxin in contaminated apple juices has been studied with different approaches with uneven effectiveness. However, a strategy based on the chemical reaction between patulin and glutathione (GSH), in order to generate the conjugates that are formed during cell detoxification process, is an innovative approach yet to be evaluated. In this work, the formation of patulin-GSH conjugates activated by the application of pulsed light treatments and catalyzed by Fe2+ ions was evaluated. The study of patulin degradation and effect of the GSH/Fe2+ molar ratio showed that a molar ratio of 5 allows an adequate catalytic effect of the metal ions. In addition, mono-substituted patulin-glutathione adducts were identified as the main type of generated conjugates.

Abstract
Background Rootstock has a significant impact on plant growth and development, including fruit maturation. However, the existence of mutual interaction between scion and rootstock is often neglected. To explore the origin of different fruit quality traits in citrus, we studied the effect of rootstock and the reciprocal interaction between scion and rootstock of nine combinations; three mandarin varieties grafted on three different rootstocks. We analyzed the metabolic profile of juice via gas and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS and LC-MS, respectively). Additionally, we profiled phloem sap composition in the scion and the rootstock. Quality traits of fruit and their physio-chemical characteristics were also evaluated. Results For all three cultivars, rootstock was found to affect fruit yield and biochemical fruit quality parameters (sugar and acidity) in interactions with the scions. In mandarin juice, eight of 48 compounds (two primary and six secondary) were related directly to the rootstock, and another seven (one primary and six secondary) were interactively affected by scion and rootstock. In scion and rootstock sap, six and 14 of 53 and 55 primary metabolites, respectively, were directly affected by the rootstock, while 42 and 33 were affected by rootstock interactively with scion, respectively. Conclusion In this work, we show for the first time a reciprocal effect between rootstock and scion. Based on our results, the scion and rootstock interaction might be organ, distance or time dependent.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify the key aroma-active volatiles in cranberry wines through three vinification methods (White, Red and Thermo) using GC-MS/O to identify the important aroma compounds. A total of 70 compounds were detected, with 67 in wines and 61 in juices. The esters was the most diversified class, while alcohols and acids were the most abundant, especially 3-methylbutanol, methylbutyric acid, and benzoic acid. The volatile profiles of cranberry wines are distinctive from their source juices. Most alcohols, esters, and acids are fermentation-derived, while terpenes, phenols, aldehydes and ketones are varietal. The Red vinification retained the most varietal volatiles from the must, while the White and Thermo vinifications produced more volatiles during fermentation. Thermovinification reduced the yield of benzoic acid and its derivatives after fermentation. Olfactory analysis identified 47 aroma-active compounds, among which 41 were considered as the major aroma contributors (ethyl benzoate had the highest modified detection frequency).

Abstract
A quenching based apta-sensing platform was developed for the detection of Patulin. Three different aptamer sequences were studied to screen the aptamer with the maximum affinity towards Patulin. Carboxyfluorescein (CFL) was used as a fluorescent dye while -COOH functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were applied as novel nanoquenchers. Aptamer tagged at the 3' end with 40 nucleotide bases exhibited the maximum affinity towards Patulin and caused substantial fluorescence recovery. Interestingly, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were calculated as 0.13 μg L-1and 0.41 μg L-1 respectively. Commonly occurring mycotoxins in food were also tested to confirm the selectivity of apta-assay. The developed apta-assay was applied to a spiked apple juice sample and toxin recoveries were observed ranging from 96% to 98% (n = 3). These results demonstrated the potential of the developed apta-assay for the selective detection and quantification of Patulin in food samples.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to optimize a new method for preconcentration and determination of trace iron concentrations in aqueous solutions. For this purpose, a newly synthesized ligand, 3-(3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-oxopyridin-1(4H)-yl) benzoic acid (3-OH-3-MOPBA), was used in the dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) method coupled with UV-vis spectroscopy. The experiments considering input variables of extractant volume, disperser volume, salt concentration, and pH were designed with the aid of central composite design (CCD). The results were analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM). The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 4.0 μg L-1 under the optimized conditions. A calibration curve with a good linearity (R2 = 0.9986) was obtained over the concentration range of 15-800 μg L-1. The relative standard deviations (RSD) were found to be around 2.1% (n = 7). The main advantages of the developed method are simple application, environment friendly, short time, and low cost which makes this method to be applied routinely for measuring iron in various water samples.

A new analytical method to measure S-methyl-l-methionine in grape juice reveals the influence of yeast on dimethyl sulfide production during fermentation. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2019; 99:6944-6953.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is a small sulfur-containing impact odorant, imparting distinctive positive and / or negative characters to food and beverages. In white wine, the presence of DMS at perception threshold is considered to be a fault, contributing strong odors reminiscent of asparagus, cooked cabbage, and creamed corn. The source of DMS in wine has long been associated with S-methyl-l-methionine (SMM), a derivative of the amino acid methionine, which is thought to break down into DMS through chemical degradation, particularly during wine ageing. RESULTS We developed and validated a new liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method with a stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) to measure SMM in grape juice and wine. The application of this new method for quantitating SMM, followed by the quantitation of DMS using headspace-solid phase micro-extraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS), confirmed that DMS can be produced in wine via the chemical breakdown of SMM to DMS, with greater degradation observed at 28 °C than at 14 °C. Further investigation into the role of grape juice and yeast strain on DMS formation revealed that the DMS produced from three different Sauvignon blanc grape juices, either from the SMM naturally present or SMM spiked at 50 mmol L-1 , was modulated depending on each of the four strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeast used for fermentation. CONCLUSION This study confirms the existence of a chemical pathway to the formation of DMS and reveals a yeast-mediated mechanism towards the formation of DMS from SMM during alcoholic fermentation. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The carotenogenesis in the endocarp and flavedo of Navel oranges over four consecutive maturity stages was assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-multistage mass spectrometry. After optimization of the extraction method, 77 carotenoids, including 26 monoesters and 33 diesters of violaxanthin, β-citraurin, and antheraxanthin, were characterized. Whereas chloroplast-specific pigments, such as (all-E)-lutein and (all-E)-β-carotene, predominated in the flavedo of green-ripe fruit, a highly complex pattern of xanthophyll esters was found in the mature oranges. Total carotenoid contents of flavedo were approximately 9-fold higher [12 605 μg/100 g of fresh weight (FW)] than those in the endocarp (1354 μg/100 g of FW) at the fully mature stage. The mature endocarp abundantly contained violaxanthin mono- and diesters, in addition to diverse antheraxanthin esters, which were exclusively detected in this fruit fraction. Likewise, β-citraurin esters were found to be unique flavedo constituents of mature fruit. Therefore, they may support the detection of fraudulent use of peel fractions during orange juice production.

Abstract
Naringinase is an enzyme complex which exhibits α-l-rhamnosidase and β-d-glucosidase activity. This enzymatic complex catalyzes the hydrolysis of naringin (4',5,7-trihydroxy flavanone 7-rhamnoglucoside), the main bittering component in grapefruit. Reduction of the level of this substance during the processing of juice has been the focus of many studies. The aim of the study was the immobilization of naringinase on chitosan microspheres activated with glutaraldehyde and, finally, the use of such immobilized enzyme for debittering grapefruit juice. The effect of naringinase concentration and characterization of the immobilized enzyme compared to the soluble enzyme were investigated. The maximum activity was observed at optimum pH 4.0 for both free and immobilized naringinase. However, the optimum temperature was shifted from 70 to 40 °C upon immobilization. The KM value of the immobilized naringinase was higher than that of soluble naringinase. The immobilization did not change the thermal stability of the enzyme. The immobilized naringinase had good operational stability. This preparation retained 88.1 ± 2.8% of its initial activity after ten runs of naringin hydrolysis from fresh grapefruit juice. The results indicate that naringinase immobilized on chitosan has potential applicability for debittering and improving the sensory properties of grapefruit juices.

Abstract
For the first time in literature, this study revealed the participation of polymeric components of orange juice cloud and pulp (such as proteins, arabinogalactan proteins, or protein-pectin complexes) during nonenzymatic browning. In a quest to better understand the nonenzymatic browning of shelf-stable orange juice during storage, the juice was fractionated into different fractions depending on the solubility in water/ethanol and the obtained fractions were characterized. The results showed that brown compounds that were formed during storage of orange juice were distributed over water insoluble (pulp), ethanol insoluble (cloud), and ethanol soluble (serum) fractions. In the ethanol insoluble fraction, the brown compounds are hypothesized to be associated with proteins, arabinogalactan proteins, and/or protein-pectin complexes of this fraction without significantly changing their molecular weight distributions, monosaccharide compositions, and protein contents. The changes in the ethanol soluble fraction including ascorbic acid degradation, acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of sucrose, and formation of furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural were highly correlated to the browning development of the juice during storage.

Abstract
Apple juice is rich in phenolic compounds that are important as natural antioxidants. In turn, blue honeysuckle berry juice is a valuable source of bioactive ingredients and can be an interesting and beneficial supplement to fruit juices. The aim of this study was to examine the physicochemical and sensory properties of the newly designed mixture of apple juice and blue honeysuckle berry juice. The addition of blue honeysuckle berry juice to apple juice had a significant effect on the content of anthocyanin and vitamin C in the newly designed fruit juices. After production, the content of anthocyanins and polyphenols in the blue honeysuckle berry juice was high (595.39 and 767.88 mg/100 mL, respectively). As the concentration of blue honeysuckle berry juice added to apple juice was increased, the polyphenol content also increased. The juices analyzed after 4 months of storage were lighter and showed a less intense red color than the juices analyzed directly after production. Antioxidant activity (ABTS assay) in the apple juice mixed with 10% blueberry juice was almost 3 times higher than the pure apple juice after 3 months of storage; the addition of 30% blueberry juice significantly increased the antioxidant activity of the apple juice. Thus, the results of this research have expanded the existing knowledge about the health and sensory properties of apple juice mixed with blue honeysuckle berry juice. These findings can be utilized in further research aiming at the development of new products that can meet consumer expectations.

Abstract
In blackcurrant juice powders made using freeze-, vacuum-, and spray-drying methods, 19 polyphenolic compounds were identified: anthocyanins (6), (+)-catechin, flavonols (8), and phenolic acids (4). The highest content of identified polyphenols was noted after vacuum drying at 90 °C, which was connected with the thermally induced release of (+)-catechin. Drying at this temperature also increased the formation of the Maillard reaction/caramelization product, hydroxymethyl-l-furfural, when inulin was added. The higher the vacuum drying temperature was, the stronger the degradation of anthocyanins was. Inulin was a better protectant of anthocyanins than maltodextrin, except during vacuum drying at 90 °C, which probably triggered inulin’s participation in the formation of hydroxymethyl-l-furfural (HMF), thus limiting its capability to protect anthocyanins. Flavonols and phenolic acids were best retained after vacuum drying at 50 °C. Carrier selection affected only slightly, whereas carrier concentration did not affect, the content of flavonols and phenolic acids. The quality of fruit juice powders should be considered taking into account a broad spectrum of factors, including the initial composition of the material subjected to drying, the drying parameters, the carrier type and concentration, and the interactions that occur during the thermal treatment of fruit juices.

Abstract
There are various methodologies to generate second-order data. Spectrophotometric method owing to its high sensitivity continues to be of wide interest to analytical chemists. Spectra recording at different interval time while the reaction is proceeded, or at different pHs, or at different concentrations of complexing agent are examples of strategies by which one can generate second-order data by the spectrophotometric method. In this work, for the first time, we employed α-CD as an inclusion complexing agent under ultrasonic irradiation for simultaneous determination of gallic acid (GA) and vanillic acid (VA). UV spectra of a mixture of two analytes were recorded as a function of α-CD concentration. A calibration set containing 9 reference samples was used to construct model using bilinear least squares/residual bilinearization (BLLS/RBL) as second-order calibration method. The predictive ability of the resulting model was validated by a test set including 5 samples. Finally, the proposed model was successfully applied to simultaneously determine the content of GA and VA in five fruit juice samples. Satisfactory results in terms of the recovery yields were obtained. In a word, UV-spectroscopy coupled with a strategy to yield a second-order data in combination to second-order calibration methods has high potential to be a simple, quick and accurate analysis procedure for the determination of various types of chemical structures in practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pectin characteristics from different parts of lemon fruit (Citrus limon L.) were studied as a basis for assessing their suitability for functional applications. Pectin was extracted from lemon albedo, lemon core parts and membranes, and lemon extract using an aqueous extraction protocol. The composition and structural properties of the isolated pectins were examined by means of complementary analytical methods to assess their molecular characteristics for potential industrial applications. RESULTS The isolation protocol yielded pectins that were predominantly composed of galacturonic acid, with differences in the degree of methylation and neutral sugars content, and with low protein content, indicating high-purity materials. The same extraction protocol resulted in differences in yield and purity between the three different parts of lemon fruit, and in structural variations in the pectin backbone, as evidenced by differences in sugar composition and molecular weight. Solutions of the isolated lemon pectins exhibited pseudoplastic behavior. Macromolecular characterization showed that the lemon extract pectin had the highest molecular weight and hydrodynamic volume, followed by lemon core and lemon albedo pectin. CONCLUSION The work demonstrates that pectins with distinct structural properties may be extracted from different parts of lemon wastes and used for different technological purposes. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osmotic pretreatment is an effective processing unit for improving the textural quality of dried fruit and vegetable snacks, whereas nutrition loss and high calorie after impregnation is still a noteworthy shortcoming of sugar-immersed products. Therefore, the use of apple juice concentrate as a clean label solution to improve the qualities of instant controlled pressure drop (DIC)-dried carrot chips was investigated. RESULTS Apple juice concentrate impregnation substantially enhanced the physical properties of the carrot chips, including hardness (38.28 N), crispness (2.01 mm), porosity (66.72%) and homogeneous microstructure, comparable to chips obtained using sucrose and maltiltol based osmotic solutions. Additionally, compared to the sucrose and maltiltol impregnated chips, a higher retention of carotenoids (302.81 μg g-1 , dry basis), a higher multiplicity of phenolic compounds, stronger antioxidant activities and a superior sensory score were observed in the chips pretreated with apple juice concentrate. CONCLUSION Apple juice concentrate could be used as a clean label osmotic solution to enhance the organoleptic attributes and fortify the nutritional properties of DIC-dried carrot snacks. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
