Article Synopsis
- Global wine production has increased waste, prompting producers and scientists to find management solutions, particularly focusing on grape seed oil as a valuable byproduct in the food industry.
- A bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database from 1990 to 2023 shows a rise in interest in grape seed oil research, primarily concentrated in Asian countries.
- Grape seed oil is rich in beneficial compounds like fatty acids and vitamin E, largely found in food products through pressing techniques, indicating the potential for further exploration of this waste product in new food applications.*
When looking for new ingredients to process red meat, poultry, and fish products, it is essential to consider using vegetable resources that can replace traditional ingredients such as animal fat and synthetic antioxidants that may harm health. The Amazon, home to hundreds of edible fruit species, can be a viable alternative for new ingredients in processing muscle food products. These fruits have gained interest for their use as natural antioxidants, fat replacers, colorants, and extenders.

For these reasons, it is an attractive fruit to replace animal fat in meat products.

- Rats and mice are often overlooked as models for studying binaural hearing, particularly in low-frequency sound localization via interaural time differences (ITDs), due to their head size and hearing range.
- Recent studies reveal that the morphology and physiology of mouse medial superior olive (MSO) neurons are similar to those in other mammals that effectively use ITDs to locate sounds.
- The research involved neuroanatomical tracing in rats, showing that the MSO is well-developed with significant connections to auditory nuclei, suggesting a potential role in sound localization despite previous assumptions about its size and significance.
The long-chain omega-3 fatty acids alpha linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have proven health benefits, but it is not common to find them together in a processed food product. This could lead to healthier and more functional food products, which may have positive implications for consumer health and well-being. This work aimed to fortify a model burger manufactured with fillets of an Amazonian fish (boquichico, ) by adding microencapsulated sacha inchi oil ( rich in ALA) (MSIO) produced by spray-drying.
