Changes in Microbial Safety and Quality of High-Pressure Processed Camel Milk.

High-pressure processing (HPP) is used as a non-thermal approach for controlling microbial viability. The purposes of this study were to (i) establish the decimal reduction times (D-values) for pathogenic bacteria during 350 MPa HPP treatment,; (ii) evaluate the impact of 350 MPa HPP on total plate count (TPC), yeasts and molds (YM), and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in camel milk; (iii) investigate the behavior of several spoilage-causing bacteria during storage at 4 °C and 10 °C for up to 10 d post-HPP treatment; and (iv) assess the effect of HPP on the protein degradation of camel milk. The D-values for , O157:H7, and spp.

Effect of bovine and buffalo ghee fractionation on triacylglycerols profile, lipids nutritional quality indices, thermal behavior, and tocopherols content: A comparative analysis with two categories of infant formula fat.

The increased use of dairy fat in various applications is facilitated by its fractionation into hard and liquid fractions. Herein, the fractionation of bovine ghee and buffalo ghee was investigated, and triacylglycerol (TAG) profiles of milk fat fractions and 2 categories of infant formulas fat were quantified by using ultra-performance convergence chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPC-Q-TOF-MS) using carbon dioxide as the mobile phase. Furthermore, the thermal behavior of the different samples was evaluated, and tocopherols content was also quantified.

Date seeds polysaccharides as novel capping agents for selenium nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization, stability, biological activities, and gut microbiota modulation.

Date seed polysaccharides were utilized to synthesize selenium nanoparticles (MPS-NP) through a redox reaction involving sodium selenite and ascorbic acid. Characterization of MPS-NP showed a uniform, amorphous, spherical shape with a particle size of 89.2 nm, remaining stable for 42 days.

Garlic and Chitosan Improve the Microbial Quality of Hummus and Reduce Lipid Oxidation.

This study investigated the antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of garlic and chitosan on hummus. Hummus was prepared by using 0.5% or 1% (/) chitosan, with or without 1% (/) garlic, and samples were stored at 4, 10, or 25 °C for 28, 21, or 7 d, respectively.

Effect of acid whey protein concentrate on the rheological properties, antioxidant capacities, and biological activities of bioaccessible fractions in fermented camel milk.

The production of set-type camel milk yogurt is challenging due to its unique physicochemical properties, which differ from those of other milk species. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of camel milk supplementation with different levels (0% [WPCA0], 3% [WPCA3], and 6% [WPCA3]) of whey protein concentrate (WPC) on the texture, rheological properties, antioxidant capacity, and biological activity of camel milk yogurt compared with bovine milk (BM) yogurt. These characteristics were evaluated before and after in vitro digestion of yogurt samples after 1 and 15 d of storage at 4°C.
