Evaluation of different blackcurrant seed ingredients in meatballs by using conventional quality assessment and untargeted metabolomics.

Blackcurrants are sources of phenolic compounds, such as anthocyanins, possessing strong antioxidant, antimicrobial and antifungal activity. Therefore, the addition of different blackcurrant pomace ingredients may affect the overall meat quality. The actual chemical profile and bioactivities of blackcurrant pomace ingredients may strongly depend on its preparation; for instance, in our study the highest values of the in vitro antioxidant capacity were determined for blackcurrant seeds after supercritical CO extraction.

Novel Formulation of Bigel-Based Vegetable Oil Spreads Enriched with Lingonberry Pomace.

In this study, bigel-based vegetable oil spreads with lingonberry pomace addition were prepared. The impact of gelatin, agar and collagen was examined as structuring agents as was the effect of lecithin concentration (0.5, 1.

Fiber-Rich Cranberry Pomace as Food Ingredient with Functional Activity for Yogurt Production.

In this study, different amounts (from 2% to 4.5%) of dietary fiber-rich cranberry pomace (CP) were added to yogurt before or after fermentation to increase dietary fiber content without changing the textural properties of the product. The addition of CP reduced whey loss, improved the firmness and viscosity, increased the total phenol compound content and the antioxidant capacity values (DPPH•, ABTS, and ORAC) of the yogurt in a dose-dependent manner, and had no significant effect on the viability of the yogurt culture bacteria.

Antioxidants Characterization of the Fruit, Juice, and Pomace of Sweet Rowanberry ( L.) Cultivated in Estonia.

This study aimed to identify promising candidates of rowanberry cultivars for a wider cultivation and utilization. Antioxidant properties and phenolic content were evaluated for fruit, juice, and pomace samples of 16 different sweet rowanberry cultivars (cvs) and wild rowanberry ( L.), while the antioxidant potential was assessed using three different methods, based on the capacity to scavenge ABTS and DPPH and measure the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC).

Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidant, and Antibacterial Properties of Berries: Evaluation of 11 Cultivars.

The aim of the study was to evaluate 11 cultivars of blue honeysuckle ( L.) for bioactive compounds, antioxidant capacity, and the antibacterial activity of berries. Total phenolic contents (TPCs) and total anthocyanin contents (TACs) were established by using ethanolic extracts.

Effect of black chokeberry pomace extract incorporation on the physical and oxidative stability of water-in-oil-in-water emulsion.

Background: Despite the obvious benefits of double emulsions in reducing fat content by replacing it with the water phase, their physical and oxidative stability remains a major concern. The objective of this study was to determine the ability of black chokeberry extract to inhibit lipid oxidation during storage at 4 °C for 60 days when different amounts of the extract were added to the inner water phase of the double emulsion. In the first step, the physical stability of the emulsions was evaluated.

Preparation and characterization of single and dual propylene oxide and octenyl succinic anhydride modified starch carriers for the microencapsulation of essential oils.

Hydroxypropylation with propylene oxide followed by esterification with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) was used to produce modified potato starch derivatives suitable for the encapsulation of essential oils. Caraway essential oil (EO) was encapsulated by spray-drying into enzymatically hydrolyzed dual/single modified and native starches. The EO microencapsulation efficiency in different modified starches, the retention of volatile aroma compounds, the emulsion particle size and the microstructure of the spray-dried encapsulated powdered products, as well as the compositional aroma changes taking place during the processing and storage for up to 8 months have been estimated.

Synthesis and biological activity of 3-[phenyl(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-amino]propanoic acids and their derivatives.

New N,N-disubstituted β-amino acids and their derivatives with thiazole, aromatic, and heterocyclic substituents were synthesized from N-phenyl-N-thiocarbamoyl-β-alanine by the Hantzsch method; derivatives with hydrazone fragments were also obtained. Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited discrete antimicrobial activity, and 3-[(4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)(phenyl)amino]propanoic acid was found to promote rapeseed growth and to increase seed yield and oil content.

Evaluation of the biological activity of naturally occurring 5,8-dihydroxycoumarin.

5,8-Dihydroxycoumarin (5,8-DHC) was isolated from aerial parts of sweet grass (Hierochloë odorata L.) and screened for antioxidant and genotoxic activities. A clear linear dependency of radical scavenging capacity in DPPH• and ABTS•+ assays was determined.
