Black olive has become one of the most prestigious olives processed in the olive industry, and its processing has been increased recently in different countries. The firmness of black olives may be changed by the processing methods, fermentation, and solution salts. In this study, the employment of CaCl, Ca-acetate, and Ca-lactate during the processing of some Iranian black olive cultivars, including Mari, Zard, Rowghani, Shengeh, Dakal, Dezful, and Fishomi, was evaluated in terms of physicochemical and phenolic compounds and textural attributes.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explored producing functional ricotta cheese by incorporating broccoli sprouts extract (BSE) using two forms: free extract and nano-capsules, in levels of 3% and 5% w/w.
  • Over a 15-day storage period at 4-6°C, results indicated that adding BSE increased the cheese's acidity, hardness, and chewiness while reducing pH, moisture, total phenol content, and antioxidant activity.
  • Cheeses with nano-capsulated BSE showed better preservation of bioactive compounds and higher sensory acceptance, particularly in flavor and overall quality, compared to those with free extract.

Sudan I is an azo dye that causes cancer and is not allowed to be used in food products. The current study focused on the design and manufacture of an electrochemical sensor modified with NiO/SWCNTs, as a nano-catalyst, and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (1H3MIbTMI), as an ionic liquid binder, to monitor Sudan I as azo additive dyes in various food samples. The modified carbon paste electrode (CPE/NiO/SWCNTs/1H3MIbTMI) offered superior electrochemical performance metrics as an analytical sensor to detect trace levels of Sudan I within the concentration range of 1.

Rice bran protein (RBP) is an alternative plant protein that can be used in a wide range of foods due to its unique functional, nutritional, and hypoallergenic properties. The interactions of RBP with other biopolymers have revealed its feasibility for application in dairy products such as whipped cream and dairy desserts. Therefore, the effects of RBP and fat content on the rheological properties of dairy desserts were investigated.

The determination of food additives is one of the major points in the food industry that directly is relative to human health. This research work focused on sensing and monitoring sunset yellow as azo additive dyes in fruit juices using an electrochemical sensor amplified with Ni doped Pt decorated carbon nanotubes (NiO/Pt/CNTs) as nano-catalyst and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([HMIM][Cl]) as an ionic liquid binder. Carbon paste electrode (CPE) amplified with NiO/Pt/CNTs and [HMIM][Cl] (CPE/([HMIM][Cl])/NiO/Pt/CNTs) improved the sensitivity of sunset yellow sensing in aqueous solution in acidic condition and successfully monitored this azo dye in concentration range 1.

We reported a simple and sensitive colorimetric assay for detection of hydrogen peroxide (HO) based on the oxidation of 2,2׳-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) by UV-Vis spectroscopy method. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared using green tea extract as bio-reducing and stabilizer agent and decorated by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The surface of Au interface was modified with HRP-rGO hybrid.

Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites of fungi that are the most dangerous mycotoxin and food safety challenges. Human exposure to mycotoxins occurs directly throughout the intake of contaminated agricultural products or indirectly throughout the consumption of products prepared with animal origin or obtained from animals that were fed with contaminated material. For detoxification and reducing threats to public health and the economic damage caused by the aflatoxins in animal and plants food products, different techniques (physical, chemical and biological) has been studied.

The effect of rice bran protein (RBP) isolate addition on the rheological and structural properties of commercial whipped cream with 25% and 35% fat was investigated. Results showed that increasing the fat content from 25% to 35% leads to an increase in the elastic modulus. Furthermore, by increasing the amount of RBP from 1% to 3% in both creams, significant increase occurred in the complex modulus.
