Fabrication of biopolymer stabilized microcapsules for enhancing physicochemical stability, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of cinnamon essential oil.

The current study entails the encapsulation validity to enclose naturally occurring food preservatives, such as cinnamon essential oil (CM), within various wall materials. This approach has demonstrated enhanced encapsulated compounds' stability, efficiency, and bioactivity. The base carrier system consisted of a solid lipid (Berry wax, RW) individually blended with whey protein (WYN), maltodextrin (MDN), and gum Arabic (GMC) as wall materials.

Cooking-Induced Oxidation and Structural Changes in Chicken Protein: Their Impact on In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion and Intestinal Flora Fermentation Characteristics.

Meat digestion and intestinal flora fermentation characteristics are closely related to human dietary health. The present study investigated the effect of different cooking treatments, including boiling, roasting, microwaving, stir-frying, and deep-frying, on the oxidation of chicken protein as well as its structural and digestion characteristics. The results revealed that deep-fried and roasted chicken exhibited a relatively higher degree of protein oxidation, while that of boiled chicken was the lowest ( < 0.

Black rice (Oryza sativa L.) processing: Evaluation of physicochemical properties, in vitro starch digestibility, and phenolic functions linked to type 2 diabetes.

Black rice is recognized for managing diabetes in Chinese folk medicine. Therefore, the present study investigates the effect of thermal treatments and the succeeding cooking on black rice physicochemical properties, phenolic composition, total antioxidant activity (TAA), enzymes and glycation inhibition in addition to starch digestibility. Thermal decomposition of anthocyanin and cyanidin-3-glucoside was evident across all processing methods and reflected in increasing levels of protocatechuic acid, while proanthocyanidins (TPAC) were susceptible to cooking.

Effects of Exogenous Abscisic Acid on Bioactive Components and Antioxidant Capacity of Postharvest Tomato during Ripening.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone which is involved in the regulation of tomato ripening. In this research, the effects of exogenous ABA on the bioactive components and antioxidant capacity of the tomato during postharvest ripening were evaluated. Mature green cherry tomatoes were infiltrated with either ABA (1.

Enhancing stability and bioaccessibility of chlorogenic acid using complexation with amylopectin: A comprehensive evaluation of complex formation, properties, and characteristics.

Chlorogenic acid (CA) performs numerous bioactivities; however, its usage is currently limited because of low stability and poor bioaccessibility. In this study, a amylopectin-CA complex was formed. FTIR studies confirmed that the new complex formed via hydrogen and CH-π bonding, and was involved with the reorganization of the skeletal α-1,4 glucosidic linkages of amylopectin.

Protein-polysaccharide complex coated W/O/W emulsion as secondary microcapsule for hydrophilic arbutin and hydrophobic coumaric acid.

This study aimed to examine the modification effect of whey protein concentrate (WPC), WPC-gum arabic (WPC-GA) or WPC-high methoxyl pectin (WPC-PEC) complex to tailor-modify W/O/W emulsion for secondary microencapsulation of hydrophilic arbutin and hydrophobic coumaric acid. The stability and rheological properties of coated emulsions, encapsulation yield, release and degradation kinetics of arbutin and coumaric acid were investigated. Results revealed that WPC-PEC complex (at the ratio of 1:3) coating W/O/W emulsion exhibited the highest viscosity and stability, with the highest encapsulation yield of 91.

Optimization model for ultrasonic-assisted and scale-up extraction of anthocyanins from Pyrus communis 'Starkrimson' fruit peel.

Ultrasonic effect on extraction of cyanidin-3-galactoside (Cy3-gal) from pear fruit peel was investigated and compared with conventional extraction (CE) method. Different process factors were tested to determine the optimum conditions for ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE). Results revealed that under optimized UAE conditions (ultrasonic power = 162 W, temperature = 71 °C, trifluoroacetic acid = 3%, ethanol = 57%, ultrasonication time = 11 min, and sample to solvent ratio = 1:30 g/ml), Cy3-gal yield was significantly higher (0.

Ultrasonic impact on viscosity and extraction efficiency of polyethylene glycol: A greener approach for anthocyanins recovery from purple sweet potato.

Purple sweet potatoes are known for its vibrant purple color due to high level of anthocyanins. A polyethylene glycol based ultrasonic-assisted green extraction (PEG-UAE) of anthocyanins from purple sweet potato was proposed. Different types of PEG were tested for anthocyanin extraction along with PEG concentration, liquid-to-solid ratio, ultrasonic temperature and time were investigated for its impact on viscosity and extraction efficiency.
