Article Synopsis
  • * Hybrid products change the functional and nutritional properties based on the type of alternative protein used, and they can provide a balance of amino acids, enhancing their overall nutrition profile.
  • * Despite the potential benefits of hybrid products, such as improved iron bioavailability, further research is needed to understand their digestibility, oxidative stability, and microbiological safety.

The gelation of milk proteins can be achieved by various means, enabling the development of diverse products. In this study, heat-set milk protein gels (15 % protein) of diverse textures were made by pH modulation and two gels were selected for dynamic in vitro gastric digestion: a spoonable soft gel (SG, pH 6.55' G' of ∼100 Pa) and a sliceable firm gel (FG, pH 5.

Modification of dairy proteins during processing impacts structural assemblies, influencing textural and nutritional properties of dairy products, and release and availability of amino acids during digestion. By modifying only pH, acid heat-set bovine dairy gels with divergent textural properties were developed to alter protein digestion. assay confirmed faster digestion of protein from a firm gel (pH 5.

The study was carried out to investigate cricket protein hydrolysates' (CPH) potential to enhance the storage stability of cheddar cheese. The cricket protein (CP) samples pre-processed with microwave (T), ultrasonication (T) or without pre-treatment (T) were used for developing the CPH using alcalase enzyme (3%). Freeze-dried CPH were incorporated in the cheese samples (CPH-T, CPH-T and CPH-T) at the maximum level of 1.

Sheep meat (encompassing lamb, hogget and mutton) is an important source of animal protein in many countries, with a unique flavour and sensory profile compared to other red meats. Flavour, colour and texture are the key quality attributes contributing to consumer liking of sheep meat. Over the last decades, various factors from 'farm to fork', including production system (e.

The present study investigated the effect of processing parameters comprising rigor temperature, ageing and display time on conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) concentrations, stability and the development of cholesterol oxidation products in hot boned beef muscles. Meat samples, having attained rigor mortis at 5 °C and 25 °C, were vacuum packed and aged for 7 and 14 days and then displayed under aerobic conditions for 7 days at 4 °C. Lipid was extracted at each time interval then H NMR and GC-FID were used for CLA quantification.

The effects of rigor temperature (5, 15, 20 and 25°C), ageing (3, 7, 14, and 21 days) and display time on meat quality and lipid oxidative stability of hot boned beef M. Semimembranosus (SM) muscle were investigated. Ultimate pH (pH(u)) was rapidly attained at higher rigor temperatures.
