UV-C Treatment Impact on the Availability of Water-Soluble Carbohydrates, Polyphenols, and Antioxidant Capacity of an Algerian Underutilized Date Fruit ( L.).

Underutilized dates are considered as a socioeconomically important fruit for local and global communities, such as Degla-Beida, a common date fruit variety. The aim of this research was to elucidate, for the first time, the efficiency of UV-C light treatment (over different irradiation durations 5, 10, 20, and 40 min) in the enhancement of soluble carbohydrates and phenolic compounds, and to evaluate its effect on the antioxidant capacity. Furthermore, the content of dietary fiber was analyzed: insoluble dietary fiber (11.

Sustainable Approaches Using Green Technologies for Apple By-Product Valorisation as A New Perspective into the History of the Apple.

The apple has been recognised as the most culturally important fruit crop in temperate land areas. Centuries of human exploitation and development led to the production of thousands of apple cultivars. Nowadays, the apple represents the third most widely cultivated fruit in the world.

Pasteurization Modifies the Sensorial Attributes and Nutritional Profile of Orange Pulp By-Product.

After orange processing, different by-products are generated, i.e., peels, seeds and pulps.

High Hydrostatic Pressure Assisted by Celluclast Releases Oligosaccharides from Apple By-Product.

A novel and green procedure consisting of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) aided by a commercial cellulase (Celluclast) has been applied to valorise the apple by-product, a valuable source of dietary fibre but mainly composed by insoluble fibre. Optimal conditions for solubilisation of dietary fibre were first determined at atmospheric pressure as 2% (/) of substrate concentration and 20 Endo-Glucanase Units of cellulase. Monitoring of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides released from apple by-product was carried out by means of a newly validated HPLC method with refractive index detector.
