This study mainly investigated the effect of soy protein isolate (SPI) on the gel quality of silver carp surimi under different storage conditions (storage temperatures of 4 °C, -20 °C, and -40 °C, and storage times of 0, 15, and 30 d). The results found that 10% SPI could inhibit the growth of ice crystals, improve the water distribution, enhance the water holding capacity of the gels, and strengthen the interaction between surimi and proteins. Compared to the control group, the composite silver carp surimi gel exhibited superior quality in texture, chemical interactions, and rheological properties during cold storage.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) is a widely utilized aromatic plant, with the economic value of its essential oil (EO) largely dependent on its aroma. This study investigated the differences in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) within the EOs of three species of lavender (H70-1, French blue, Taikong blue) in Ili region from 2019 to 2023 with the combination of sensory evaluation, gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how modifying soy protein isolate with tannic acid creates effective stabilizers for Pickering emulsions that can hold essential oils and aromas.
  • Nanoparticles with tannic acid concentrations over 2 mg/mL showed strong antioxidant properties and helped protect essential oils from degradation, maintaining aroma quality for longer periods.
  • This innovative approach not only enhances the longevity of flavor in beverages by extending shelf life but also offers a sustainable and cost-effective method for food processing.
