Harnessing Natural Antioxidants for Enhancing Food Shelf Life: Exploring Sources and Applications in the Food Industry. Foods 2023; 12:3176. [PMID: 37685108 PMCID: PMC10486681 DOI: 10.3390/foods12173176] [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: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Consumers are increasingly showing in maintaining a healthy dietary regimen, while food manufacturers are striving to develop products that possess an extended shelf-life to meet the demands of the market. Numerous studies have been conducted to identify natural sources that contribute to the preservation of perishable food derived from animals and plants, thereby prolonging its shelf life. Hence, the present study focuses on the identification of both natural sources of antioxidants and their applications in the development of novel food products, as well as their potential for enhancing product shelf-life. The origins of antioxidants in nature encompass a diverse range of products, including propolis, beebread, and extracts derived through various physical-chemical processes. Currently, there is a growing body of research being conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of natural antioxidants in the processing and preservation of various food products, including meat and meat products, milk and dairy products, bakery products, and bee products. The prioritization of discovering novel sources of natural antioxidants is a crucial concern for the meat, milk, and other food industries. Additionally, the development of effective methods for applying these natural antioxidants is a significant objective in the food industry.

Characterization of Phenolic Profile in Milk Obtained by Ewes Fed Grape Pomace: Reflection on Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Status. Biomolecules 2023; 13:1026. [PMID: 37509062 PMCID: PMC10377608 DOI: 10.3390/biom13071026] [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: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present work was to evaluate if the use of grape pomace (GP) in the feeding of dairy ewes can improve the content of phenolic compounds (PCs) in the milk and affect the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative status of the milk. For this purpose, 46 ewes were randomly assigned to two groups of 23 animals each: a control group (Ctrl) that received a standard diet and an experimental group (GP+), whose diet was been formulated with 10% GP on a dry matter (DM) basis. At the end of the 60 days of the trial, from 10 ewes selected randomly from each group, individual milk samples were collected and analyzed for the identification and the quantification of phenolic compounds through an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography system, and milk anti-inflammatory and antioxidative status were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, determining the activity of GPx and CAT and the levels of IL-1 and TNFα. In addition, gelatinolytic activity of Type IV collagenases (MMP-2/MMP-9) was evaluated by the fluorometric method and zymographic approach. The results obtained showed that the diet with GP affects the phenolic profile of milk, inducing milk enrichment of phenolic compounds without, however, having a significant impact on milk antioxidant and inflammatory status. However, a lower activity of MMP-9 was found in GP+ milk. The use of the molecular docking approach showed the ability of luteolin to approach the catalytic pocket of the enzyme, interfering with the recruitment of the substrate, and therefore, slowing down their hydrolytic activity.

Dietary Grape Pomace Supplementation in Lambs Affects the Meat Fatty Acid Composition, Volatile Profiles and Oxidative Stability. Foods 2023; 12:foods12061257. [PMID: 36981183 PMCID: PMC10048055 DOI: 10.3390/foods12061257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementing grape pomace (GP) in lambs’ diets. A total of 30 lambs homogeneous for body weight (13.1 ± 2.1 kg) and age (25–30 days) were randomly allocated into two groups. The control group (CTR) received a standard diet for 45 days, while in the same period the experimental group (GP+) was fed with a diet containing 10% GP on a dry matter (DM) basis. The meat samples from the two groups showed no significant differences in drip loss, cooking loss, meat color and total lipid amount. However, the experimental feeding strategy influenced the meat fatty acid composition, with an increase in the relative percentages of stearic, vaccenic and rumenic acids. In particular, the increase in rumenic acids is associated with several health benefits attributed to its high bioactive properties. In cooked meat samples stored for 5 days at 4 °C, the dietary GP supplementation induced an increase in nonanal and 1-octen-3-ol and a significant reduction of hexanal, an indicator of oxidation; this improved resistance to oxidation in the GP+ samples and was also confirmed by the thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) test. In summary, the present study showed that the dietary GP supplementation was effective in improving the fatty acid composition and the oxidative stability of lamb meat. The use and valorization of the GP as a matrix of interest for zootechnical nutrition can, therefore, represent a suitable strategy for improving the qualitative aspects of animal production.

Grape, Pomegranate, Olive, and Tomato By-Products Fed to Dairy Ruminants Improve Milk Fatty Acid Profile without Depressing Milk Production. Foods 2023; 12:foods12040865. [PMID: 36832939 PMCID: PMC9957115 DOI: 10.3390/foods12040865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The continuous increase in the cost of feeds and the need to improve the sustainability of animal production require the identification of alternative feeds, such as those derived from the agro-industrial sector, that can be effectively used for animal nutrition. Since these by-products (BP) are sources of bioactive substances, especially polyphenols, they may play an important role as a new resource for improving the nutritional value of animal-derived products, being effective in the modulation of the biohydrogenation process in the rumen, and, hence, in the composition of milk fatty acids (FA). The main objective of this work was to evaluate if the inclusion of BP in the diets of dairy ruminants, as a partial replacement of concentrates, could improve the nutritional quality of dairy products without having negative effects on animal production traits. To meet this goal, we summarized the effects of widespread agro-industrial by-products such as grape pomace or grape marc, pomegranate, olive cake, and tomato pomace on milk production, milk composition, and FA profile in dairy cows, sheep, and goats. The results evidenced that substitution of part of the ratio ingredients, mainly concentrates, in general, does not affect milk production and its main components, but at the highest tested doses, it can depress the yield within the range of 10-12%. However, the general positive effect on milk FA profile was evident by using almost all BP at different tested doses. The inclusion of these BP in the ration, from 5% up to 40% of dry matter (DM), did not depress milk yield, fat, or protein production, demonstrating positive features in terms of both economic and environmental sustainability and the reduction of human-animal competition for food. The general improvement of the nutritional quality of milk fat related to the inclusion of these BP in dairy ruminant diets is an important advantage for the commercial promotion of dairy products resulting from the recycling of agro-industrial by-products.

Abstract
The main objective of this research was to evaluate the development of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the accumulation of biogenic amines (BAs) in relation to the dynamic of microbial population composition in fresh and ripened cheese produced from raw milk of ewes fed a diet containing grape pomace (GP+) and fed a standard diet (Ctrl). Genomic DNA was extracted from the cheeses at 2 (T2), 60 (T60), 90 (T90) and 120 (T120) days of ripening and prepared for 16S rRNA-gene sequencing to characterize the cheese microbiota; furthermore, VOCs were determined via solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and biogenic amines by HPLC analyses. Diet did not affect the relative abundance of the main phyla identified, Proteobacteria characterized T2 samples, but the scenario changed during the ripening. At genus level, Pseudomonas, Chryseobacterium and Acinetobacter were the dominant taxa, however, a lower percentage of Pseudomonas was detected in GP+ cheeses. Enterococcus became dominant in ripened cheeses followed in Ctrl cheeses by Lactobacillus and in GP+ cheeses by Lactococcus. The diet affected the development of carboxylic acids and ketones but not of aldehydes. Low levels of esters were identified in all the samples. In total, four biogenic amines were determined in cheeses samples and their levels differed between the two groups and during ripening time. In 60, T90 and T120 GP+ cheeses, a lower amount of 2-phenylethylamine was found compared to Ctrl. Putrescine was detected only in GP+ samples and reached the highest level at 120 days. Conversely, the amount of cadaverine in GP+ samples was invariable during the ripening. The concentration of tyramine in GP+ samples was compared to Ctrl during the ripening. Overall, significant positive correlations between some families of bacteria and the formation of VOCs and BAs were found.
