Abstract
Consumers seek healthy and sustainable products, whereas the food industry faces the challenge of processing by-products management. The application of fruit pomace as an additive could be a solution addressing the needs of both consumers and producers. The research objective has been to assess the effect of dried blackcurrant pomace powder (BP) and calcium ions in varied concentration on the physicochemical properties of multicomponent freeze-dried snacks as compared to the influence of low-methoxyl pectin (LMP). The snacks were prepared using varied content of BP (1, 3, 5%) and calcium lactate (0, 0.01, 0.05%). Water content and activity, hygroscopic properties, structure, texture, colour, polyphenols content (TPC), and antioxidant activity were analysed. The addition of BP resulted in lowering water activity and porosity. The microstructure of the snacks consisted of a large number of small and unevenly distributed pores. Consequently, the reduction of hygroscopic properties with the growing amount of BP was observed. Applied additives strengthened the structure and caused changes in compression curves indicating enhanced hardness and crispiness. The effect given by 5% of BP was comparable to that obtained with 0.5% of LMP. Additionally, blackcurrant pomace infusion increased TPC and enhanced antioxidant activity but it also caused significant changes in the colour of the snacks. Overall, obtained results have shown that dried blackcurrant pomace powder (BP) can be successfully applied as a food additive supporting stability, texture, and bioactive compounds content, thus fortifying the physicochemical properties of freeze-dried fruit and vegetable snacks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the effect of various amounts of dried apple pomace (AP) powder and calcium ions on selected physicochemical properties of restructured freeze-dried snacks in comparison with products obtained with low-methoxyl pectin (LMP). The material was prepared using frozen carrot, orange concentrate, ginger, water, and various concentrations of AP (1, 3, 5%) and calcium lactate (0, 0.01, 0.05%). The reference samples were without additives, and with 0.5 or 1.5% of LMP combined with 0.01% of calcium lactate. RESULTS The material was studied in terms of water content and activity, hygroscopic properties, structure, texture, color, and polyphenol content (TPC), and antioxidant activity. The addition of AP resulted in reducing water activity and porosity. As a consequence of the increasing density of the structure, the reduction of hygroscopic properties by up to 16% followed the increasing amount of AP. Apple pomace and calcium ions strengthened the structure. The addition of 3% and 5% of AP gave a hardening effect close to or better than 0.5% LMP. Because of the pigment dilution, LMP caused significantly greater total color change than AP. The incorporation of AP also increased TPC and enhanced antioxidant activity in comparison with the reference materials by up to 18%. CONCLUSION The results showed that dried AP powder can be applied successfully as an additive enhancing stability, texture and bioactive compound content, thus fortifying the physicochemical properties of restructured freeze-dried fruit and vegetable snacks. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In the present study encapsulation of ultrasound assisted red cabbage extract was carried out using four different carrier agents such as maltodextrin, gum arbic, xanthan gum, and gellan gum. Among the four hydrocolloids investigated, maltodextrin was found to have the least destructive effect on anthocyanin content (14.87 mg C3G/g dw), TPC (54.51 ± 0.09 mg GAE/g dw), TFC (19.82 Mg RE/g dw) and antioxidant activity (74.15%) upon freeze-drying. Subsequently a storage study was conducted using maltodextrin as carrier agent at 25-50 °C. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation was used to evaluate the net isosteric heat (qst) of water adsorption. The differential entropy (ΔS) and qst decreased from 82.298 to 38.628 J/mol, and 27.518 kJ/mol to 12.505 kJ/mol, respectively as the moisture content increased from 2 to 14%. The value of isokinetic energy and Gibb's free energy were found to be 364.88 and - 1.596 kJ/mol for freeze dried red cabbage. Graphical abstract

Abstract
Freeze-dried (FD) fruit and vegetable materials with a large amount of sugar are unstable. With the aim to understand the structure formation of FD products, the effects of fructose content on the texture and microstructure of FD matrix were investigated by using pectin-cellulose cryogel model. Cryogels containing fructose of 0-40% were produced using freeze-drying at three different primary drying temperatures of -40, -20, and 20°C. The resultant cryogels were characterized by texture profile analyzer, scanning electron microscope, and μCT. Results indicated that at drying temperature of -40°C, increasing fructose concentration promoted the hardness of the cryogels, and cryogels of 16% fructose obtained maximum hardness. Excessive fructose (≥20%) weakened the described hardness, while exhibiting stronger springiness and resilience. The microstructure showed that dense pores and increased wall thickness due to fructose aggregation were critical factors responsible for increased hardness. The porous structure as well as relatively large pore size were necessary for crispness, in addition, rigid pore wall with certain strength were also required. At the drying temperature of 20°C, large hetero-cavities dominated the microstructure of cryogels with 30% and 40% fructose, caused by melting inside during FD process. In this situation, lower Tm (-15.48 and -20.37°C) were responsible for cryogels' melting In conclusion, if possible, regulating fructose content and state may enable the precision texture design of FD fruit and vegetable foods.

[PMID: 37301342 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Recently, non-conventional sources of starch have attracted attention due to their potential to provide cost-effective alternatives to traditional starch. Among non-conventional starches, loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) seed starch is an emerging source of starch consisting of the amount of starch (nearly 20 %). Due to its unique structure, functional properties, and novel applications, it could be utilized as a potential ingredient. Interestingly, this starch has similar properties as commercial starches including high amylose content, small granule size, and high viscosity and heat stability, making it an attractive option for various food applications. Therefore, this review mainly covers the fundamental understanding of the valorization of loquat seeds by extracting the starch using different isolation methods, with preferable structural, morphological, and functional properties. Different isolation and modification methods (wet milling, acid, neutral and alkaline) are effectively used to obtain higher amounts of starch are revealed. Moreover, insight into various analytical techniques including scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction used to characterize the molecular structure of the starch are discussed. In addition, the effect of shear rate and temperature on rheological attributes with solubility index, swelling power, and color is revealed. Besides, this starch contains bioactive compounds that have shown a positive impact on the enhancement of the shelf-life of the fruits. Overall, loquat seed starches have the potential to provide sustainable and cost-effective alternatives to traditional starch sources and can lead to novel applications in the food industry. Further research is needed to optimize processing techniques and develop value-added products that can be produced at a large scale. However, there is relatively limited published scientific evidence on the structural and morphological characteristics of loquat seed starch. Thus, in this review, we focused on different isolation techniques of loquat seed starch, its structural and functional characteristics, along with potential applications.

Abstract
Nanostructured iron(III) compounds are promising food fortificants with desirable iron bioavailability and food compatibility. Here, gum arabic (GA) solubilized 252 mg of iron(III) per g at neutral pH in the form of GA-stabilized ferric oxyhydroxide nanoparticles (GA-FeONPs) with Z-average size of 142.7 ± 5.9 nm and ζ-potential of -20.50 ± 1.25 mV. Calcein-fluorescence-quenching assay revealed well-absorbed iron from GA-FeONPs by polarized Caco-2 cells due to efficient macropinocytic internalization and asialoglycoprotein receptor-mediated specific endocytosis facilitated by the polypeptide and arabinogalactan fractions of GA, respectively, with endocytosed GA-FeONPs being in part basolaterally transcytosed and in another part degraded into cellular labile iron pool. GA-FeONPs showed good colloidal stability under varied pH, gastrointestinal, thermal processing, and spray/freeze drying conditions and displayed remarkably weaker pro-oxidant activity than FeSO4 in glyceryl trilinoleate emulsion (P < 0.05). Oral pharmacokinetics unveiled desirable iron bioavailability of GA-FeONPs relative to FeSO4, i.e., 124.27 ± 5.91% in aqueous solution and 161.64 ± 5.01% in milk. Overall, GA-FeONPs are a promising novel iron fortificant with food-compatible, efficient, and targeted intestinal iron delivery and sustained iron-release properties.

Abstract
Prickly pear fruits are seasonal and have shades ranging from pale green to deep purple. Their pigments are associated with bioactive compounds, being sensitive to thermal transformation processes for their conservation. The objective of this research was to evaluate the bioactive compounds and the sensory analysis of freeze-dried prickly pear fruits from an inter-Andean valley in Peru. The prickly pear fruits of the morada, anaranjada, and blanca ecotypes came from an inter-Andean valley in Peru at 2972 m altitude. The sliced fruits were freeze-dried at -40 °C and 0.25 mTorr, and the total polyphenol content (TPC), vitamin C, and antioxidant activity (AA) were determined, as well as the color L* a* b*, color index (CI*), FTIR spectra, and mineral content. In the same way, sensory analysis of preferences with nine scales was applied. It was observed that in the freeze-dried fruits, TPC, AA, and vitamin C increased significantly (p-value < 0.05), and their corresponding functional groups increased in intensity in their corresponding FTIR spectra; furthermore, trace elements such as Cu, Fe, Se, Zn, Si, and Mn were identified. On the other hand, freeze-drying provided deeper colors to the fruits, which most panelists said they "very much liked" during the sensory analysis, although the texture was not very well accepted, with most panelists reporting being "indifferent" towards it. The freeze-drying technique allows the bioactive and sensory attributes of prickly pear fruits from inter-Andean valleys to be preserved, making it a potential fruit for export and conservation due to its seasonality.

Abstract
Siamese orange fruit is very popular today, driven by the increasing public demand or healthy food. Siamese oranges contain bioactive phenolic compounds, carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, and fiber which are good for health. The weakness of Siamese oranges is their quality declines quickly and their short shelf life. Postharvest handling with the application of coatings from natural ingredients to extend the shelf life of orange fruits is currently needed to reduce the use of synthetic materials. Natural ingredients that have the potential to be used as base materials for coatings are konjac tubers because they contain glucomannan polysaccharides and bioactive compounds that can form coatings. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nanocoating-konjacon the shelf life of Siamese oranges. The research began with the preparation of the nanocoating-konjac formula as the main ingredient of the nanocoating and the application of the nano coating-konjac on the surface of Siamese oranges. This study used a completely randomized two-factor design, namely nanocoating-konjac application (without coating, coating, and nanocoating) and storage time (0, 5, 10, and 15 days), three replications. Variables observed: Weight loss, number of damaged fruits, color, texture, acidity, total soluble solids, water content, vitamin C, and total plate count. The data obtained was tested for diversity with SPSS, if it shows differences the test is continued with Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The conclusion of this research is the application of nanocoating-konjac, coating-konjac and without coating on Siamese oranges to determine the effect of weight loss, number of damaged fruits, color, texture, acidity, total dissolved solids, water content, vitamin C, and total plate count during storage. This research recommends that the application of nanocoating-konjac as postharvest handling can extend the shelf life of Siamese oranges until the 10th days.

Abstract
Hickory (Carya cathayensis Sarg.) oil is a nutrient-dense edible woody oil, with its unsaturated fatty acids accounting for more than 90% of total ones, and liable to oxidation spoilage. To efficiently improve its stability and expand its application fields, the microencapsulation of cold-pressed hickory oil (CHO) by the molecular embedding method and freeze-drying technique was performed using malt dextrin (MD), hydroxylpropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), or porous starch (PS) as a wall material. Two wall materials and/or their CHO microcapsulates (CHOM) with higher encapsulation efficiencies (EE) were selected to carry out physical and chemical characterizations using laser particle size diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, derivative thermogravimetry, and oxidative stability tests. Results indicated β-CDCHOM and PSCHOM had significantly higher EE values (80.40% and 75.52%) than MDCHOM and HP-β-CDCHOM (39.36% and 48.32%). The particle sizes of the two microcapsules selected were both widely distributed with their spans being more than 1 µm and a certain degree of polydispersity. Microstructural and chemical characterizations indicated that β-CDCHOM had comparatively stable structure and good thermal stability compared with PSCHOM. Storage performances under light, oxygen, and temperature showed that β-CDCHOM was superior to PSCHOM, especially in terms of thermal and oxidative stability. This study demonstrates that β-CD embedding can be applied to improve the oxidative stability of vegetable oils such as hickory oil and act as a means of preparing functional supplementary material.

Abstract
The large amount of waste generated by the orange juice industry has sparked the interest of many researchers in incorporating recycling systems and following a much more sustainable circular economy model. This work proposes the valorization of the co-product generated in the orange juice extraction industry after freeze-drying for its subsequent reuse as a natural ingredient in the food industry. In addition, the possible protective effect of gum Arabic and corn starch esterified with octenyl succinic groups, in proportions optimised in previous studies 0.25 and 0.45 g/g orange co-product dry solutes, on the main bioactive compounds of orange peel during the freeze-drying process has been studied. The samples were characterised for their content of vitamin C (ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acids), flavonoids (hesperidin and narirutin), total phenols and total carotenoids, as well as their antioxidant capacity (DPPH and FRAP assays). In addition, samples were digested, mimicking the human enzymatic oral gastro-intestinal digestion process, and the bioaccessibility of the bioactive compounds was evaluated. It was observed that the addition of both biopolymers improved the stability of the hydrophilic compounds during freeze-drying. This conservative effect was more remarkable for higher biopolymer concentrations. However, no protective effect on carotenoid compounds was observed. This trend was reflected in the antioxidant activity of the different samples. In addition, the incorporation of biopolymers improved the bioaccessibility of the bioactive compounds studied. In conclusion, the results supported the feasibility of the freeze-dried orange juice co-product as a natural, sustainable source of health-promoting compounds.

Abstract
International guidelines strongly advise about the frequent and varied intake of plant in diet. In this scenario, the consumption of fruits is closely related to health benefits due to the abundant presence of bioactive substances. Accordingly, the production of tropical fruits has stood out worldwide, reaching records since the past decade. However, to ensure that phenolic substances are indeed used by the body, they need to be accessible for absorption. For this purpose, several methods are used to assess the phenomenon of bioaccessibility. We provide information on i) in vitro methods for the evaluation of the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds in tropical fruits, including their derivatives and by-products; ii) a study performed using a semi-dynamic in vitro digestion model; iii) simulated digestion with a dialysis membrane step, polyphenol transport/uptake using cell culture, and in vitro colonic fermentation process. Although standardized static and semi-dynamic in vitro digestion methods already exist, few studies use these protocols to assess the bioaccessibility of polyphenols in tropical fruits. To guarantee that in vitro digestion assays reproduce consistent results compared to in vivo reference methods, it is essential to universalize standardized methods that allow the comparison between results, enabling the validation of in vitro digestion methods.

[PMID: 34829038 PMCID: PMC8625165 DOI: 10.3390/foods10112756] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2021] [Revised: 11/05/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Nowadays, the consumer is looking for healthier, more attractive, ready-to-eat, and safer foodstuffs than fresh products. Despite freeze drying being known for providing high added value products, it is a slow process which is conducted at low pressures, so, in terms of energy consumption, it turns out to be quite costly for the food industry. With the purpose of obtaining a freeze-dried orange puree, previously formulated with gum Arabic and bamboo fiber, which can be offered to consumers as a snack at a low economic cost, the impact of the process conditions on energy consumption has been considered. The product temperature evolution and the energy consumption were registered during the drying of frozen samples at different combinations of chamber pressures (5 and 100 Pa) and shelf temperatures (30, 40 and 50 °C). In each case, the time processing was adapted in order to obtain a product with a water content under 5 g water/100 g product. In this study, the secondary drying stage was considered to start when the product reached the shelf temperature and both the pressure and the temperature affected the duration of primary and secondary drying stages. The results obtained led to the conclusion that the shorter duration of the process when working at 50 °C results in significant energy saving. Working at a lower pressure also contributes to a shortening of the drying time, thus reducing the energy consumption: the lower the temperature, the more marked the effect of the pressure.

Polyphosphates as an effective vehicle for delivery of bioavailable nanoparticulate iron(III). Food Chem 2021; 373:131477. [PMID: 34731816 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.131477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2021] [Revised: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Polyphosphates are widely used food additives with the potential to increase iron bioavailability but chemical nature of their soluble complexes with iron remains largely unknown. Here, pyrophosphate, tripolyphosphate, hexametaphosphate and ∼25-chain-length polyphosphate solubilized 896, 896, 1120 and 1344 mg Fe(III) per g, respectively, at neutral pH by mediating the formation of highly-negatively-charged ferric hydroxide-polyphosphate nanoparticles (PolyP-FeONPs). PolyP-FeONPs displayed fading yellow color with increasing initial dissolved P/Fe ratio ((P/Fe)init) and decreasing polyphosphate length due to rising proportion of Fe(III)-phosphate bonds, and specifically, pyrophosphate resulted colorless PolyP-FeONPs at (P/Fe)init ≥ 4. PolyP-FeONPs had weak pro-oxidant activity in glyceryl trilinoleate emulsion and good colloidal stability under spray/freeze-drying and gastrointestinal conditions. Serum iron kinetics in rats revealed sustained iron release and ∼170% iron bioavailability of oral PolyP-FeONPs relative to FeSO4. Calcein-fluorescence-quenching assay in polarized Caco-2 cells unveiled divalent-metal-transporter-1-independent and macropinocytosis-dependent iron uptake from PolyP-FeONPs. This study helps develop food-compatible, highly-bioavailable and sustained-release iron preparations.

How Do the Different Types of Carrier and Drying Techniques Affect the Changes in Physico-Chemical Properties of Powders from Chokeberry Pomace Extracts? Foods 2021; 10:foods10081864. [PMID: 34441643 PMCID: PMC8394545 DOI: 10.3390/foods10081864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 07/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Chokeberry fruit, one of the richest plant sources of bioactives, is processed into different foodstuffs, mainly juice, which generates a considerable amount of by-products. To follow the latest trends in the food industry considering waste management, the study aimed to produce chokeberry pomace extract powders and conduct experimental and chemometric assessment of the effect of different carriers and drying techniques on the physico-chemical properties of such products. The PCA analysis showed that the examined powders were classified into two groups: freeze-dried (variation in case of moisture content, water activity, colour, and browning index) and vacuum-dried (bulk density). No clear pattern was observed for the physical properties of carrier added products. The sum of polyphenolics (phenolic acids, anthocyanins and flavonols) ranged from 3.3-22.7 g/100 g dry matter. Drying techniques had a stronger effect on the polyphenols profile than the type of carrier. Hydroxymethyl-L-furfural formation was enhanced by inulin addition during high-temperature treatment. Overall, the addition of maltodextrin and trehalose mixture for freeze drying and vacuum drying at 90 °C caused the highest retention of polyphenolics and the lowest formation of hydroxymethyl-L-furfural; however, an individual and comprehensive approach is required when the obtainment of high-quality chokeberry powders is expected.
