Identification of 4'-Demethyl-3,9-dihydroeucomin as a Bitter-Masking Compound from the Resin of .

Masking the bitter taste of foods is one of the key strategies to improve their taste and palatability, particularly in the context of clean labeling, where natural compounds are preferred. Despite the demand, the availability of natural bitter-masking compounds remains limited. Here, we identified the bitter-masking compound 4'-demethyl-3,9-dihydroeucomin () isolated from the resin of by means of an activity-guided in vivo (sensory bitterness rating of quinine) and in vitro (cell-based bitter response assays) approach.

Comparative flavonoid profile of orange () flavedo and albedo extracted by conventional and emerging techniques using UPLC-IMS-MS, chemometrics and antioxidant effects.

Introduction: fruits are one of the most frequently counterfeited processed products in the world. In the juice production alone, the peels, divided into flavedo and albedo, are the main waste product. The extracts of this by-product are enriched with many bioactive substances.

Phenylacrylic acids addition to potato and sweet potato showed no impact on acrylamide concentration oxa-Michael-addition during frying.

Three phenolic acids, -coumaric, ferulic and caffeic acid as well as cinnamic acid were added to raw potatoes and sweet potatoes before frying. A distinct mitigation of acrylamide was not detected. Fried samples were analysed for postulated adducts of a direct reaction between acrylamide and these phenolic acids using LC-MS.

Determination of the Geographical Origin of L. by H NMR Spectroscopy.

Food authenticity concerning the geographical origin becomes increasingly important for consumers, food industries, and food authorities. In this study, H NMR metabolomics combined with machine learning methodologies was applied to successfully distinguish the geographical origin of 237 samples of white asparagus from Germany, Poland, The Netherlands, Spain, Greece, and Peru. Support vector classification of the geographical origin achieved an accuracy of 91.
