This study aimed to investigate the effect of desalting processes on oxidative stability of JB. JB were submitted to five desalting procedures: immersion in water at room temperature for 12 h without changing the water (AT12); immersion in water at room temperature for 12 h followed by boiling for 30 min and changing the water between the two procedures (AT12 + C30); immersion in boiled water for 10, 20, and 30 min (C10, C20, and C30, respectively).

- - Obesity is a long-term condition that often needs various treatments and increased intervention over time.
- - There was no common definition for recurrent weight gain and lack of adequate weight loss until the recent consensus from IFSO, which aims to standardize terminology for better data comparison.
- - The IFSO position statement offers guidance on managing weight regain after bariatric surgery, highlighting the importance of using these new definitions in future research and publications.

September 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Acerola fruits have high nutritional value but degrade quickly, which complicates their commercialization; using edible coatings can help protect and maintain their quality during storage.
- - A new edible coating made from pearl pineapple peel flour and yam starch has been developed, showing effective moisture retention and minimal weight loss, particularly when refrigerated.
- - The study found that the coated acerolas (T3 treatment) maintained better color and soluble solid levels compared to uncoated and glycerol-coated fruits, indicating that this coating technology can enhance the post-harvest quality of acerola.
