Chao E, Fan L. Changes in polyphenolic compounds and antioxidant activities of seed-used pumpkin during hydrothermal treatment. Food Chem 2023; 414:135646.

Abstract
An environmentally friendly physical processing method, hydrothermal treatment (HT), was used to increase the content of specific compounds and antioxidant activities of seed-used pumpkin byproducts. The influence of hydrothermal temperature (80 °C-160 °C) and time (30-150 min) on changes in polyphenols and antioxidation was evaluated. The results revealed that the maximum free polyphenol content (140 °C for 120 min) was 3.96-fold higher than the untreated samples. Elevated temperature and long duration changed phenolic acid contents. For example, p-coumaric acid, rutin and chlorogenic acid exhibited a decreasing trend, and p-hydroxybenzoic acid, quercetin and cinnamic acid showed an increasing trend. Compared to controls, HT was significantly associated with increased antioxidant activities. To comprehensively reveal the influence of hydrothermal temperature and time on changes in polyphenolic content, back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) models with accurate prediction ability were developed, and the results exhibited well-fitted and strong approximation ability (R2 > 0.95 and RMSE < 2 %) and stability.

Abstract
The goal of this review is to provide an overview of the current findings on the major carotenoids and their content in pumpkin products and by-products. The content of total carotenoids and the composition of carotenoids in pumpkins depend mainly on the species and cultivar, pedoclimatic conditions, the part of the plant (pulp, peel or seed), extraction procedures and the type of solvent used for extraction. The major carotenoids identified in pumpkins were β-carotene, α-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. β-Carotene is the major carotenoid in most pumpkin species. The number and content of total carotenoids are higher when minor carotenoids and ester forms are considered. The use of carotenoids in the development of functional foods has been the topic of many versatile studies in recent years, as they add significant value to foods associated with numerous health benefits. In view of this, pumpkin and pumpkin by-products can serve as a valuable source of carotenoids.

Associations of Protein Molecular Structures with Their Nutrient Supply and Biodegradation Characteristics in Different Byproducts of Seed-Used Pumpkin. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12080956. [PMID: 35454203 PMCID: PMC9027784 DOI: 10.3390/ani12080956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 04/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this experiment was to explore the relationship of protein functional groups (including amide I, amide II, α-helix, and β-sheet) in byproducts of seed-used pumpkin (pumpkin seed cake, pumpkin seed coat, and seed-used pumpkin flesh) with their nutrient profiles and biodegradation characteristics. The experiment was designed to use conventional chemical analysis, combining the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) and nylon bag technology to assess the nutritional value and biodegradation characteristics of seed-used pumpkin byproducts. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyze the protein molecular structure properties of byproducts of seed-used pumpkin. In this study, we also applied correlation and regression analysis. The results showed that different byproducts of seed-used pumpkin had different in situ biodegradation, nutrient supplies, and spectral structures in the protein region. Among the byproducts of seed-used pumpkin, acid detergent-insoluble crude protein (ADICP) and neutral detergent-insoluble crude protein (NDICP) contents of the pumpkin seed coat were the highest, resulting in the lowest effective degradabilities (EDs) of dry matter and crude protein. The crude protein (CP) ED values were ranked as follows: pumpkin seed cake > seed-used pumpkin flesh > pumpkin seed coat. Significant differences were observed in the peak areas of amide I and amide II and the corresponding peak heights in the two peak areas in the molecular structure of the protein. The peak areas of amide I and amide II and the corresponding peak heights were at the highest levels for pumpkin seed cake, whereas there was no significant difference between the pumpkin seed coat and seed-used pumpkin flesh. Similarly, the peak heights of α-helices and β-sheets were highest for pumpkin seed cake. Correlation and regression results indicated that amide I and amide II area and height, α-helix and β-sheet heights, and area ratios of amide I: amide II, as well as the height ratios of amide I: amide II, and α-helices: β-sheets effectively estimated nutrient supply and that the height ratio of α-helices: β-sheets was mostly sensitive to biodegradation characteristics in different byproducts of seed-used pumpkin. There were significant differences in CP chemical composition and digestibility of different byproducts of seed-used pumpkin that were strongly related to the changes in protein molecular structures.

Abstract
Discoloration and unpleasant flavor were observed in freeze-dried carrots (FDC) during shelf life. This study aimed to investigate the effects of thermal/non-thermal pre-treatments and storage temperatures on the color and flavor of FDC during the 120-day storage. Results showed that terpenes and sulfur-containing organics were the main volatiles sensitive to the 60 °C treatment (p < 0.05). Nonenzymatic browning of FDC happened during storage, which was significantly positively related to moisture content (r = 0.63) and water activity (r = 0.84), while negatively correlated with total carotenoid content (TCC, r = -0.62). However, redness (29.66%), chroma (16.59%) and TCC (3.40%) of FDC at 120-day (25 °C) was effectively improved after the combination treatment of ultrasound (40 kHz, 100 W, 10 min) and ascorbic acid (2%, w/v)-CaCl2 (1%, w/v) solution (UAA-CaCl2), showing that carrots pre-treated with UAA-CaCl2 and preserved at 25 °C facilitated the FDC storage.

Abstract
Effects of blanching (BL), ultrasound (US) and freeze-thawing (FT) pretreatments prior to far-infrared drying (FIRD) on drying characteristics, water distribution, and quality parameters of seed-used pumpkin (SUP) slices were investigated in this study. US, BL and FT pretreatments significantly accelerated drying rate due to the destruction of cell structure. Modified Page model was the fittest model for predicting the FIRD process. Low field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) results revealed that T2 distribution curves of all pretreated samples moved rapidly to the positive x-axis direction, indicating an increase in the rate of water migration. The color of US-FIRD was closer to fresh SUP. BL-FIRD exhibited the highest free polyphenols content (241.28 ± 1.11 mg GAE/100 g DW) and total carotenoids content (129.69 ± 2.49 μg/ g DW), increasing by 45% and 34% respectively compared to the untreated sample.

Abstract
The effects of far-infrared radiation drying (FIRD), freeze drying (FD), vacuum drying (VD), and hot air drying (HAD) on appearance, physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities, antityrosinase capacity using B16F10 melanoma cell from seed-used pumpkins (hull-less pumpkin and hull pumpkin) were evaluated. Results suggested that hull-less pumpkin (HLP) dehydrated by FIRD provided the highest total polyphenols content (37.11 ± 1.05 mg GAE/ g DW) and the ability of scavenging free radicals. HPLC analysis exhibited that coumaric acid was predominant phenolic acid in pumpkin. The correlation analysis demonstrated that polyphenolic compounds were related to antioxidant capacity. HLP-FD possessed better colour, higher preservation of β-carotene, ascorbic acid and higher sugar contents compared with HLP-HAD. The highest antityrosinase activity was recorded in HLP-VD with a concentration of 37.16%. The melanin inhibition increased to 76.61%, and intracellular tyrosinase activity in B16F10 melanoma cells decreased to 88.63% at 800 μg/mL of polyphenol extract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High carotenoid content always lead to a yellower/redder color in carrots, while a puzzling phenomenon still exists that freeze-dried carrots (FDC) have a higher carotenoid content but a lighter color compared with thermal-dried carrots. It seems that carotenoid is not the only main factor affecting sample color. Hence the discoloration characteristics of freeze-dried carrots were comprehensively analyzed from physical structure and color-related chemical composition profile. RESULTS Outcomes of low-field nuclear magnetic resonance and scanning electron microscopy showed that sublimation of immobilized water preserved the intact porous structure of FDC, which kept the volume shrinkage below 30% and led to less accumulations of color-related compositions. Besides, results of correlation and principal component analysis-X model proved that lutein and caffeic acid mainly affected a* value (r = 0.917) and b* value (r = 0.836) of FDC, respectively. Moreover, lipoxygenase indirectly affected sample color by degrading carotenoids, and the lutein content loss for fresh and blanching FDC was 41.56% and 47.14%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The discoloration of FDC was significantly affected by both physical structure and color-related chemical compositions. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Devices of human-based senses such as e-noses, e-tongues and e-eyes can be used to analyze different compounds in several food matrices. These sensors allow the detection of one or more compounds present in complex food samples, and the responses obtained can be used for several goals when different chemometric tools are applied. In this systematic review, we used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, to address issues such as e-sensing with chemometric methods for food quality control (FQC). A total of 109 eligible articles were selected from PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. Thus, we predicted that the association between e-sensing and chemometric tools is essential for FQC. Most studies have applied preliminary approaches like exploratory analysis, while the classification/regression methods have been less investigated. It is worth mentioning that non-linear methods based on artificial intelligence/machine learning, in most cases, had classification/regression performances superior to non-liner, although their applications were seen less often. Another approach that has generated promising results is the data fusion between e-sensing devices or in conjunction with other analytical techniques. Furthermore, some future trends in the application of miniaturized devices and nanoscale sensors are also discussed.

Bioaccessibility of carotenoids and antioxidant capacity of seed-used pumpkin byproducts powders as affected by particle size and corn oil during in vitro digestion process. Food Chem 2020; 343:128541.

Abstract
Powders made from seed-used pumpkin flesh (SUPF) are potential sources of carotenoids. In this study, unexplored effects of particle size and corn oil on bioaccessible amounts of carotenoids and antioxidant capacity of SUPF powders during in vitro digestion process were investigated. Overall, total carotenoid relative bioaccessibility (TCRB) of 100 mesh-sized powder (100 MP, 15.46%) was higher than that of 18 mesh-sized powder (18 MP, 12.94%). With the addition of 2% corn oil, TCRB increased 108.35% (18 MP) and 88.55% (100 MP), respectively. Lutein (≥27160 µg/100 g) and β-carotene (≥5192 µg/100 g) were main carotenoid monomers in SUPF and significantly correlated with DPPH radical scavenging activity of digestive supernatant (p < 0.05). Notably, DPPH radical scavenging activity of 18 MP increased 96.54% with corn oil. These results implied that smaller particle size and oil addition could improve bioaccessible amounts of carotenoids and antioxidant capacity of SUPF powders.
