Thermoanalytical study of protein state during rehydration and rehydration kinetics in osmotically dehydrated pork meat (Longissimus dorsi): Insights from Peleg and Weibull models.

Osmotically dehydrated pork meat (Longissimus dorsi), in the molasses, was used in the aim to study the protein state during rehydration. Protein state and rehydration kinetics are crucial for obtaining the desired meat product quality. The thermoanalytical techniques were employed to follow protein state and kinetics of rehydration.

Enhancing composition and functionality of jelly candies through apple and beetroot pomace flour addition.

The functionalization of food products with agri-industial residues is of great interest. Apple and beetroot pomace flour, abundant in dietary fiber and antioxidants, were incorporated into jelly candies using agar, pectin, or gelatin. Three functional formulations were devised for each flour type at the pilot scale, resulting in jelly candies with desirable sensory properties and texture.

Thermal Characterisation and Isoconversional Kinetic Analysis of Osmotically Dried Pork Meat Proteins .

The kinetic properties and thermal characteristics of fresh pork meat proteins (), as well as osmotically dehydrated meat proteins, were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. Two isoconversional kinetical methods, namely the differential Friedman and integral Ortega methods, were employed to analyze the data. The obtained kinetic triplet, activation energy, pre-exponential factor, and extent of conversion, has been discussed.

Effect of Beetroot Powder Incorporation on Functional Properties and Shelf Life of Biscuits.

The demand for ready-to-use functional foods is high, which encourages manufacturers to develop new, nutritionally valuable products. As an excellent source of biologically active compounds, beetroot ( L.) is considered to have highly beneficial effects on health.

Formulation of Novel Liqueurs from Juice Industry Waste: Consumer Acceptance, Phenolic Profile and Preliminary Monitoring of Antioxidant Activity and Colour Changes During Storage.

Research Background: Apple juice is one of the most popular and liked beverages worldwide. Due to the increased health consciousness among consumers, beetroot and chokeberry juices have also rising consumption trends. Despite representing a considerable percentage of the processed fruit and rich source of bioactive compounds, fruit pomace, remaining after juice production, has still been underutilised.

Functionality and Palatability of Yogurt Produced Using Beetroot Pomace Flour Granulated with Lactic Acid Bacteria.

Following the idea of sustainability in food production, a yogurt premix based on beetroot () pomace flour (BPF) was developed. BPF was granulated with lactose solution containing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) by a fluidized bed. Particle size increased ~30%.

Bioactivity and Sensory Properties of Probiotic Yogurt Fortified with Apple Pomace Flour.

To meet the demand for new functional foods in line with the trend of sustainable development, a novel probiotic yogurt fortified with 1%, 3%, and 5% apple pomace flour (APF) added immediately after inoculation with and was developed. Upon fermentation in the presence of APF, a number of probiotic strains remained within the required range, while the syneresis of enriched yogurts was reduced up to 1.8 times in comparison to the control.

Evaluation of Apple Pomace Flour Obtained Industrially by Dehydration as a Source of Biomolecules with Antioxidant, Antidiabetic and Antiobesity Effects.

Apple pomace flour (APF) obtained at industrial scale level by the application of innovative technological process (dehydration (5 h, T ≤ 55 °C), grinding (300 µm)) was evaluated as a source of bioactive compounds with antioxidative, antiobesity and antidiabetic effects. Proximate composition, individual (HPLC-DAD-MS/MS) and total phenols (TPC) as well as flavonoids content (TFC), antioxidant (AO) activity (DPPH, ABTS, HPMC), water and oil holding capacity (WHC and OHC) of APFs obtained from apple pomace from mixed and individual apple cultivars grown conventionally and organically were compared. The effect of APF supplementation on the glycaemic status and glucose tolerance (oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)) of C57BL/6J mice exposed to high-fat and sucrose diet was examined.

Functionality and Storability of Cookies Fortified at the Industrial Scale with up to 75% of Apple Pomace Flour Produced by Dehydration.

Apple pomace flour (APF) with high content of dietary fibers (DF), total polyphenolics (TPCs) and flavonoids (TFCs) was produced at the industrial scale. Bulk and tapped density, swelling, water and oil holding capacity, solubility and hydration density of fine and coarse APF with average particle size 0.16 and 0.

Influence of sunflower oil qualities and antioxidants on oxidative stability on whey-based salad dressings.

The antioxidant effect of ascorbic acid and EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) in food emulsions, based on whey and sunflower oils with enhanced oleic acid, α- and β- tocopherol content, was not described up to now. Salad dressings based on cold-pressed high-oleic/α-, β- tocopherol sunflower oil were oxidatively stable after 3 months of storage at 25 °C regarding primary (peroxide value, PV) and secondary (hexanal) lipid oxidation products (PV = 0.34 mmol O2 kg-1, hexanal value = 1.
