Article Synopsis
- Mango seeds, a byproduct of mango juice processing, are rich in starch, but traditional extraction methods are inefficient and environmentally harmful.* -
- The study improved starch extraction from mango seed cotyledons using ultrasound, achieving a maximum yield of 50.74%, which is 82.4% higher than conventional methods.* -
- The ultrasound method enhanced starch purity and properties while maintaining its structure, indicating potential uses in food and pharmaceuticals.*
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the discovery of acrylamide in food, an analysis of patents related to the mitigation of this compound in food products obtained through immersion frying was carried out. For this purpose, a comprehensive search, compilation, and information analysis were conducted using free online databases such as Google Patents, Patenscope, and Lens. The search yielded a total of 79 patents within the considered time period (2002-2022).
