Lopes AC, Queirós RP, Inácio RS, Pinto CA, Casal S, Delgadillo I, Saraiva JA. High-Pressure Processing Effects on Microbiological Stability, Physicochemical Properties, and Volatile Profile of a Fruit Salad. Foods 2024; 13:1304. [PMID: 38731676 PMCID: PMC11083073 DOI: 10.3390/foods13091304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Nowadays, consumers are more aware of the effects of their diet on their health, and thus demand natural or minimally processed food products. Therefore, research has focused on processes that assure safe products without jeopardizing their nutritional properties. In this context, this work aimed to evaluate the effects of high-pressure processing (550 MPa/3 min/15 °C, HPP) on a fruit salad (composed of melon juice and pieces of Golden apple and Rocha pear) throughout 35 days of storage at 4 °C. For the physicochemical properties analysed (browning degree, polyphenol oxidase activity, antioxidant activity (ABTS assay), and volatile profile), a freshly made fruit salad was used, while for the microbiological tests (total aerobic mesophiles, and yeast and moulds) spoiled melon juice was added to the fruit salad to increase the microbial load and mimic a challenge test with a high initial microbial load. It was determined that processed samples were more microbiologically stable than raw samples, as HPP enabled a reduction of almost 4-log units of both total aerobic mesophiles and yeasts and moulds, as well as an almost 1.5-fold increase in titratable acidity of the unprocessed samples compared to HPP samples. Regarding browning degree, a significant increase (p < 0.05) was observed in processed versus unprocessed samples (roughly/maximum 68%), while the addition of ascorbic acid decreased the browning of the samples by 29%. For antioxidant activity, there were no significant differences between raw and processed samples during the 35 days of storage. An increase in the activity of polyphenol oxidase immediately after processing (about 150%) was confirmed, which was generally similar or higher during storage compared with the raw samples. Regarding the volatile profile of the product, it was seen that the compounds associated with melon represented the biggest relative percentage and processed samples revealed a decrease in the relative quantity of these compounds compared to unprocessed. Broadly speaking, HPP was shown to be efficient in maintaining the stability and overall quality of the product while assuring microbial safety (by inactivating purposely inoculated microorganisms), which allows for longer shelf life (7 versus 28 days for unprocessed and processed fruit salad, respectively).

Xu Y, Gao G, Tian L, Cao Y, Dong X, Huo H, Qi D, Zhang Y, Xu J, Liu C. Changes of Volatile Organic Compounds of Different Flesh Texture Pears during Shelf Life Based on Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction with Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Foods 2023; 12:4224. [PMID: 38231607 DOI: 10.3390/foods12234224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Aroma is an important sensory factor in evaluating the quality of pear fruits. This study used headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to analyze the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of three crispy pears and five soft pears during shelf life, and the changes in soluble solids content (SSC) were analyzed. The results showed that the SSC of the soft pears such as Nanguoli, Jingbaili and Louis was always higher than that of the crispy pears throughout shelf life. A total of 160 VOCs were detected in the eight pear varieties. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) combined with predictor variable importance projection (VIP) showed that the eight pear varieties could be obviously classified into six groups according to the differences in their VOCs, and 31 differential VOCs were screened out, which could be used to differentiate between pears with different flesh textures. The results of clustering heat map analysis showed that, with the extension of shelf life, the content of each different VOC did not change much in crispy pears, whereas the difference in soft pears was larger. This study confirmed the potential of determining the optimal shelf life of different pear varieties about aroma evaluation and studying the mechanism of differences in VOCs in the future.

Abstract
In this paper, several technologies suitable for strawberry crops, such as armyworm boards, tank-mix adjuvants, mist sprayers combined with pesticide reduction, and biostimulant nano-selenium, were comprehensively applied and evaluated. The combined use of 60% etoxazole and bifenazate, bucket mixing additives, nano-selenium, and mist sprayers achieved an 86% prevention effect on red spiders. The prevention effect of pesticides according to the recommended dosage was 91%. Similarly, the disease index of strawberry powdery mildew in the green control group (60% carbendazim, bucket mixing additives, nano-selenium, and mist sprayer) decreased from 33.16 to 11.11, with a decrease of 22.05. The disease index of the control group decreased from 29.69 to 8.06, with a decrease of 21.63. Additionally, the combination of pesticide reduction and nano-selenium significantly improved the antioxidant activity and soluble sugar level of strawberry fruit and reduced water loss during storage. Therefore, the integrated application of green control technologies is beneficial for reducing the amount of chemical pesticides and improving their effectiveness, while enhancing the quality of strawberry fruits in disease and pest control.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:1953.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the metabolic changes that occurred in olive leaves as responses over time to variations in climatic elements. Rainfall, temperature, and solar radiation data were collected over 4 months (August-November) to assess the impact of different climatic trends on the metabolism of the leaves of 15 Italian olive cultivars, cultivated at the experimental farm of the University of Florence. The net photosynthetic rate (AN) and stomatal conductance (gs), measured as main indicators of primary metabolism, were mainly influenced by the "cultivar" effect compared to the "climate" effect. The lowest AN value was showed by "Bianchera", while "Ascolana" recorded the highest (8.6 and 13.6 µmol CO2 m-2s-1, respectively). On the other hand, the secondary metabolism indicators, volatile organic compound (VOC) and oleuropein (OL) content, were much more influenced by climate trends, especially rainfall. A phase of high rainfall caused a significant increase in the VOCs emission from leaves, even with different behaviors among the genotypes. The highest differences were observed between "Maiatica di Ferrandina", with the highest average values (~85,000 npcs), and "Frantoio", which showed the lowest (~22,700 npcs). The OL content underwent considerable fluctuations in relation to the rainfall but also appeared to be controlled by the genotype. "Coratina" always showed the highest OL concentration (reaching the maximum ~98 mg g-1), indicating the great potential of this cultivar for the industrial recovery of OL.

Abstract
The Cuiguan pear is called "June snow" and the skin is thin; the meat is crisp and juicy; the taste is thick and fresh; and the juice is rich and sweet. In this study, the volatile organic compounds and the sensory and physicochemical parameters of the Cuiguan pear from four different regions of China (Sichuan (SC), Shangdong (SD), Chongming (CM), Zhuanghang (ZH)) were assessed. The highest differences in the physicochemical parameters were observed between four regions. The volatile fingerprints of GC-IMS showed great differences in the volatile of the Cuiguan pear, which suggested that the aroma of pears could be largely impacted by origin areas. (E)-ethyl-2-hexenoate can be used to distinguish between the 'CM' and pears from other regions. High contents of 2-heptanone, 1-pentanol, 1-butanol, 3-methylbutanol, butyl 2-methylbutanoate, heptyl acetate and butyl acetate were observed in the 'SD'. Dimethyl trisulfide, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, 1-penten-3-one, beta-pinene, γ-terpinene, propanal, (e)-2-pentenal, (e)-2-heptenal, 1-pentanol and 3-methyl-1-pentanol were primarily contained in the 'ZH'. Principal component analysis showed that there was very good discrimination based on the information obtained from GC-IMS for four samples. These findings were in agreement with the sensory analysis. In the opinion of the respondents to the consumer test, 'ZH' resulted in the most appreciated sample based on the average scores of the acceptability. This study provides some reference for the development and utilization of the Cuiguan pear.

Abstract
Considering the large number of volatile molecules that characterize Cannabis sativa L., adequate investigation supported by the application of robust and effective analytical methods is essential to better understand the impact of these low- and medium-molecular-weight molecules on the entire phytocomplex. This work aimed to characterize the volatile fraction of the chemical profile of three different cultivars of Cannabis sativa L. pollen, grown in Italy, which were thoroughly investigated by the application of two complementary techniques: SPME-GC-MS and PTR-ToF-MS. Furthermore, in order to provide more information on the chemical profile of the matrices under study, the cannabinoid content of the hexane extracts was also measured by GC-MS. Until now, no similar study, in terms of survey techniques applied, has been performed on C. sativa pollen. The obtained results showed a high content of volatile molecules, which differentiated the three matrices. The data relating to the content of cannabinoids were also interesting as they showed that one of the three cultivars was richer than the others. Finally, an in-depth statistical survey was performed to better compare the investigated samples and identify the molecules that most contribute to differentiating them. The findings of this study may be useful for integrating the compositional information on C. sativa L.

Abstract
A total of 124 identical volatile aromatic compounds were identified during storage of the European ‘Conference’ and the Asian ‘Yali’ pear cultivars in different temperature conditions. Only 5 volatiles were statistically differentiated in both cultivars by means of successive multinomial logistic regression: 3-methylbutan-1-al, 2-methylpropyl acetate, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, ethanol, and eugenol. Significant statistical data obtained by sequential multinomial logistic regression developed by the principal component analysis (PCA) procedure and distinguishing the different ‘Conference’ and ‘Yali’ pears storage regimes were dimensionless in themselves. The PCA components were expressed as linear combinations of selected variables necessary to distinguish the cultivars. The eigenvalues of the first three PCA components differentiated the storage regimes. For each principal components were selected volatiles with a probability higher than 0.4. Combinations created from PCA components were shown using clusters distinguishing the pear storage conditions used. Analytical data from SPME-GC/MS such as concentration (ng kg−1) demonstrated multiple and order-of-magnitude differences between the ‘Conference’ and ‘Yali’ pears. The ‘Yali’ cultivar exhibited significantly higher concentrations of eugenol.

Abstract
Peaches are climacteric and highly perishable fruits, with a short shelf life, and are prone to rapid deterioration after harvest. In this study, the chemical proprieties, aroma profile and a sensory evaluation were conducted to: (1) characterize and compare fruits of 13 different peach and nectarine cultivars, harvested at physiological maturation; and (2) assess the suitability of these cultivars, that are successfully used in long food supply chains (LFSCs), for their use in short food supply chains (SFSCs). Through statistical analysis clear differences were found among the studied cultivars, and in particular between cultivars suited to SFSCs compared to those suited for LFSCs. Results indicate that, despite all cultivars being planted in the same orchards and with the same pre-harvest management and practices, their post-harvest performances were mainly influenced by the cultivar genetic makeup. Therefore, cultivars conventionally used in SFSCs, such as “Guglielmina” and “Regina di Londa”, had the best aroma, sweetness and juiciness compared to LSCPs ones. In contrast, the LSCPs varieties showed interesting values for firmness and crunchiness.

Abstract
Chocolate has specific rheological behavior during oral processing that delivers its distinct sensory characteristics. When incorporating functional or flavoring ingredients into chocolate, these properties must be maintained to meet consumer expectation. Water-soluble and fat-soluble ingredients have a potential effect on the properties of chocolate; therefore, successfully adding functional supplements in this medium can have challenges. This study investigated the effect of functional or flavoring ingredients on chocolate microstructure, mouthfeel (texture), and flavor release, during oral processing. Participants were classified by their oral processing "pattern": a chewing preference (CP), a sucking preference (SP), and a mixed group who had a preference for both chewing and sucking (MP). Chocolate samples (72% dark chocolate) were prepared with different flavor ingredients (water-soluble: ginger powder and fat-soluble: menthol). Instrumental testing of chocolate viscosity and hardness showed no significant differences in chocolate with low concentrations of added ingredients (0.5% ginger and 0.1% mint), while chocolate with higher concentration (2.5% ginger and 0.5% mint) showed a significant difference compared to standard chocolate. Modified Qualitative Descriptive Analysis (MQDA) tests showed no significant differences in sensory perception of texture between the formulations, or the oral processing behavior groups. There was an impact on flavor perception both from composition and from oral processing behavior. The CP group rated the chocolate with the lowest flavoring concentration as also having the lowest cocoa flavor intensity. Moreover, the MP and SP groups showed a similar perception of cocoa flavor intensity.

Abstract
Landraces, that is, crop and livestock not improved by formal breeding, are scarce in the industrialized world and are mainly maintained ex situ for breeding purposes. The natural biodiversity of these landraces may contribute to securing food production that can adapt to a changing climate, crop pathogens, diseases, and other agricultural challenges. In addition, landraces might also possess unique quality traits. Our aim is to take the idea of crop and livestock diversity further by connecting flavor differences of different landraces and varieties, with gastronomic applications. Do landraces provide a creative possibility of using distinct sensory characteristics to create new dishes and food products and/or to optimize recipes by finding the right variety for existing dishes and food products? This study suggests that apple, pea, pear, and poultry landraces, apart from being valuable in terms of biodiversity in sustainable food systems, also possess unique and distinct gastronomic potential. For example, citrus odors in apples, nutty taste in gray peas, astringent taste in pears, and high odor intensity of stable in poultry is of culinary relevance when working with apple juice, plant‐based alternatives to meat, poached pears, and roasted rooster, respectively. To fully explore, and take advantage of, the gastronomic potential landraces possess, additional studies are needed in order to find suitable cooking methods and development of recipes. Practical Application Seeking to increase market interest for landraces, highlighting gastronomic values could stimulate higher demand and, in turn, contribute to larger and more resilient populations preserved in situ. Specifically, the paper is of use to (I) crop and livestock producers and food companies who wish to provide products with greater sensory variation, (II) individuals, companies, and organizations with the aim to increase landrace demand and/or preservation, and (III) breeders and genetic engineers managing genetic traits of landraces and other varieties.

Volatile compounds profiling by using proton transfer reaction-time of flight-mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS). The case study of dark chocolates organoleptic differences. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2019; 54:92-119.

Abstract
Direct-injection mass spectrometry (DIMS) techniques have evolved into powerful methods to analyse volatile organic compounds (VOCs) without the need of chromatographic separation. Combined to chemometrics, they have been used in many domains to solve sample categorization issues based on volatilome determination. In this paper, different DIMS methods that have largely outperformed conventional electronic noses (e-noses) in classification tasks are briefly reviewed, with an emphasis on food-related applications. A particular attention is paid to proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS), and many results obtained using the powerful PTR-time of flight-MS (PTR-ToF-MS) instrument are reviewed. Data analysis and feature selection issues are also summarized and discussed. As a case study, a challenging problem of classification of dark chocolates that has been previously assessed by sensory evaluation in four distinct categories is presented. The VOC profiles of a set of 206 chocolate samples classified in the four sensory categories were analysed by PTR-ToF-MS. A supervised multivariate data analysis based on partial least squares regression-discriminant analysis allowed the construction of a classification model that showed excellent prediction capability: 97% of a test set of 62 samples were correctly predicted in the sensory categories. Tentative identification of ions aided characterisation of chocolate classes. Variable selection using dedicated methods pinpointed some volatile compounds important for the discrimination of the chocolates. Among them, the CovSel method was used for the first time on PTR-MS data resulting in a selection of 10 features that allowed a good prediction to be achieved. Finally, challenges and future needs in the field are discussed.
