Abstract
This study aimed to assess the antibacterial activity and bio-preservation capability of bacteriocin-producing LAB isolated from Ethiopian traditional fermented dairy products in raw milk from Jimma town. Bacteriocin-producing LAB were tested for their antimicrobial activity against various foodborne pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella typhimurium. The results showed that probiotic LAB isolates inhibited foodborne pathogens (E. coli, S. aureus, and L. monocytogenes), with inhibition zones ranging from 22.00 ± 0.57 to 34.13 ± 0.57. Enterococcus faecium and Lactococcus lactis demonstrated possible antagonistic effects against E. coli, while Pediococcus pentosaceus had a 34.13 ± 0.57 mm inhibitory zone against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The isolates also showed co-aggregation potential with the pathogens, with Lactococcus lactis isolates and their combinations demonstrating the best co-aggregation capabilities against the investigated pathogens. The bio-preservative assay showed that putative probiotic isolates (L. lactis JULABE35, E. faecium JULABE 23, and P. pentosaceus JULABE05) were efficient in decreasing Listeria monocytogenes in raw milk. After 7-8 days, milk samples diagnosed with these isolates showed complete reduction of Listeria monocytogenes. The bio-preservation capability of bacteriocin-producing LAB on raw milk extended the shelf life of milk at 4 °C storage for ten days, compared to six days for milk samples without probiotic LAB. The milk samples preserved with probiotic and bacteriocin-producing isolates showed good proximate analysis, showing significant variation with milk kept without bacteriocin-producing isolates. The isolated chemicals employed in this study can be used as food additives or food preservatives, indicating potential applications in Ethiopian traditional fermented dairy products.

Abstract
Formation of the protein crosslink di-Tyrosine was studied in PET-bottled pasteurized milk exposed to fluorescent light in a commercial display cabinet. An HPLC method with fluorescence detection was developed and intra-laboratory validated using pure di-Tyrosine synthesized on purpose. Di-Tyrosine was detected after 1-day lightening and increased up to 7 days, reaching around 250 and 320 µg/g protein in whole and partly skimmed milk, respectively. Afterward, a progressive decrease occurred. By transmission electron microscopy with specific immune gold labelling, presence of di-Tyrosine was observed for the first time on the surface of casein micelles of lightened milk. The crosslink formation, however, did not bring to protein aggregation phenomena detectable by laser light scattering measurements. Exposure to light also induced degradation of riboflavin and decrease of yellowness index. Di-Tyrosine proved to be a suitable indicator to evaluate the progress of protein oxidation in pasteurized milk during storage on the market.

Abstract
Microbial community succession in raw milk determines its quality and storage period. In this study, carbon dioxide (CO2) at 2000 ppm was used to treat raw milk to investigate the mechanism of extending the shelf life of raw milk by CO2 treatment from the viewpoint of microbial colonies and metabolites. The results showed that the shelf life of CO2-treated raw milk was extended to 16 days at 4 °C, while that of the control raw milk was only 6 days. Microbiomics analysis identified 221 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) in raw milk, and the alpha diversity of microbial communities increased (p < 0.05) with the extension of storage time. Among them, Pseudomonas, Actinobacteria and Serratia were the major microbial genera responsible for the deterioration of raw milk, with a percentage of 85.7%. A combined metagenomics and metabolomics analysis revealed that microorganisms altered the levels of metabolites, such as pyruvic acid, glutamic acid, 5'-cmp, arginine, 2-propenoic acid and phenylalanine, in the raw milk through metabolic activities, such as ABC transporters, pyrimidine metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism and phenylalanine metabolism, and reduced the shelf life of raw milk. CO2 treatment prolonged the shelf life of raw milk by inhibiting the growth of Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, such as Acinetobacter guillouiae, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Serratia liquefaciens and Pseudomonas simiae.

Abstract
Biopolymers of different natures (carbohydrates, proteins, etc.) recovered from by-products of industrial processes are increasingly being studied to obtain biomaterials as alternatives to conventional plastics, thus contributing to the implementation of a circular economy. The food industry generates huge amounts of by-products and waste, including unsold food products that reach the end of their shelf life and are no longer usable in the food chain. Milk proteins can be easily separated from dairy waste and adapted into effective bio-based polymeric materials. Firstly, this review describes the relevant properties of milk proteins and the approaches to modifying them for subsequent use. Then, we provide an overview of recent studies on the development of films and coatings based on milk proteins and, where available, their applications in food packaging. Comparisons among published studies were made based on the formulation as well as production conditions and technologies. The role of different additives and modifiers tested for the performances of films and coatings, such as water vapor permeability, tensile strength, and elongation at break, were reviewed. This review also outlines the limitations of milk-protein-based materials, such as moisture sensitivity and brittleness. Overall, milk proteins hold great potential as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based polymers. However, their use in food packaging materials at an industrial level remains problematic.

Abstract
Retort sterilization is cost-effective for small-scale production of specialized nutrition products. However, the sensory properties and stability of active ingredients after sterilization remain undetermined. This study aimed to investigate the effect of retort on the existence of functional compounds and the sensory satisfaction of a fortified complete nutrition formula with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and fish oil providing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Changes in EPA and BCAA contents after retort were determined by using LC-MS/MS. Nutrient values, osmolality, rheology and sensory acceptance of the processed fortified and control formulas were compared. After retort, the fortified formula had an increase in all types of BCAAs but 30% loss of EPA (p = 0.001). The fortified formula had slightly higher protein and fiber contents, along with increased osmolality. It had higher viscosity and shear stress, but similar IDDSI level at 0. Among flavors tested, the fortified formula with Japanese rice flavor received the highest satisfaction scores with over 80% sensory acceptance. In conclusion, retort sterilization preserved BCAAs of the functional drink, but the addition of 30% fish oil was required to compensate for the EPA loss. The sterilized fortified formula with Japanese rice flavor was sensory acceptable.

Abstract
Increasing awareness of balanced diet benefits is boosting the demand for high-protein food and beverages. Sports supplements are often preferred over traditional protein sources to meet the appropriate dietary intake since they are widely available on the market as stable ready-to-eat products. However, the protein components may vary depending on both sources and processing conditions. The protein fraction of five commercial sports supplements was characterized and compared with that of typical industrial ingredients, i.e., whey protein concentrates and isolates and whey powder. The capillary electrophoresis profiles and the amino acid patterns indicated that, in some cases, the protein was extensively glycosylated and the supplemented amino acids did not correspond to those declared on the label by manufacturers. The evaluation by confocal laser scanning microscopy evidenced the presence of large aggregates mainly enforced by covalent crosslinks. The obtained findings suggest that, beside composition figures, provisions regarding sports supplements should also consider quality aspects, and mandatory batch testing of these products would provide more reliable information to sport dieticians.

Abstract
Civilization has begun around 3,500 BCE in Mesopotamia and the realization by people that they could manipulate food to preserve it, through sun drying, fermentation, freezing in the snow, or cooking by fire, was an important factor for the nomadic humans to start settling. Food by nature is subject to spoilage and the application of any kind of preservation method enables storage and weighted consumption. Throughout human history, many techniques have been developed and improved such as heat treatment, drying, freezing, extraction, mixing and the use of preservatives, among others. In the food industry of the modern world, each technique is implemented through sequential steps, known as unit operations. This opinion paper presents an overview of the main heating unit operations used in the food industry, highlighting their benefits to converting raw materials into palatable products with high quality and safe for consumption. Examples are presented to illustrate how several food products available in the market were submitted only to physical transformations based on scientific knowledge. However, there is a range of intensity in physical processing and the applied energy level depends on the nature of the food, target microorganism, storage conditions, type of packaging, and desired shelf-life. The importance of food safety is stressed since processed foods have been criticized for confusion between nutritious values and processing steps. There are still many challenges to the food industry to design the process in optimal conditions for food quality and with less environmental impacts and novel thermal and non-thermal technologies have been studied and implemented.
