Dietary fiber from coffee peel is rich in bound polyphenols good for human health due to the antioxidant activity. In this study, we evaluated the bound polyphenol release conditions and activities in coffee peel soluble dietary fiber (CPSDF) in the process of in vitro simulation digestion. The CPSDF structure became loose and porous due to simulated digestion but retained the polysaccharide backbone.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in intercellular communication and have the potential to serve as in vivo carriers for delivering active molecules. The biocompatibility advantages of EVs over artificial nanocarriers create new frontiers for delivering modern active molecules. Milk is a favorable source of EVs because of its high bioavailability, low immunogenicity, and commercial producibility.

This study explored the isolation of anthocyanin monomers using a medium- and high-pressure separation technique as a means to increase the added value of a by-product of the blueberry juice industry. Six anthocyanin monomers were isolated with a purity of 95% and identified as mono-galactoside, glucoside, and isomers of delphinidin, malvidin, and even malvidin-3-O-arabinoside, malvidin-3-(6″-acetyl)-O-glucoside by LC-MS and H NMR. Following the conformation search, the computer calculation manifested the active sites of six anthocyanins (C-OH) and their stabilities based on the structural and energy parameters.

Green coffee oil (GCO) extracted from green coffee beans, is known for its antioxidant and anticancer properties, and has been increasingly utilised in cosmetic and other consumer products. However, lipid oxidation of GCO fatty acid components during storage may be harmful to human health, and there remains a need to understand the evolution of GCO chemical component oxidation. In this study, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H and C NMR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the oxidation status of solvent-extracted and cold-pressed GCO under accelerated storage conditions.

Food lipids play an important role in food quality, and their attributes contribute to texture, flavor, and nutrition. However, high-temperature processing leads to lipid peroxidation, degradation, and the formation of reactive carbonyl species (RCS), such as acrolein (ACR), glyoxal (GO), and methylglyoxal (MGO). We investigated the changes in the peroxidation value (POV), Rancimat induction time, formation and total amount of RCS, and inhibitory effects of synthetic polyphenol antioxidants on ACR/GO/MGO in plant oils during heating processing through an accelerated oxidation test using Rancimat.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chemical, enzymatic, chemical-enzymatic, ultrasound-assisted enzymatic, and shear emulsifying-assisted enzymatic extraction methods on the physicochemical, structural, and functional properties of soluble dietary fiber from coffee peel. We found that the highest extraction yield of soluble dietary fiber was obtained using the shear emulsifying-assisted enzymatic method, and that similar protein contents were obtained from coffee peel using the enzymatic and shear emulsifying-assisted enzymatic methods. Compared with the other extraction methods, shear emulsifying-assisted enzymatic processing resulted in a higher water-holding capacity (7.

Acrolein (ACR) is an unsaturated aldehyde with high activity and toxicity and is produced in vivo and in food. This study investigated the impact of B-ring structure on the trapping of ACR by flavonols and the trapping mechanism and efficacy of ACR by myricetin. Galangin, kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin, which possess the same A- and C-ring but different numbers of -OH groups on the B-ring, were selected for this study.

The lipid oxidation process of Robusta green coffee beans was characterized during accelerated storage for 20 days at 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C. The conventional oxidation indexes and fatty acid compositions were evaluated, and the shelf life of the green coffee beans was predicted using the Arrhenius model. The acid value, iodine value, peroxide value, total oxidation value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and free fatty acid content increased throughout storage, while the moisture content, -anisidine value, and unsaturated fatty acid content decreased, which suggests that lipid oxidation occurred during accelerated storage.

The effect of improved extrusion cooking technology (IECT) on jackfruit seed starch (JFSS) digestion properties was investigated by the in vitro starch hydrolysis, hydrolysis index (HI) and glycaemic index (GI). The IECT markedly increased the content of rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS), equilibrium concentration (C), HI, GI, and the rate of starch digestion but decreased in resistant starch (RS). Increasing the temperature and screw speed resulted in significant increases in SDS, C, HI, GI, and decreases in RDS, RS content.

This study investigated the effect of different drying techniques, namely, room-temperature drying (RTD), solar drying (SD), heat-pump drying (HPD), hot-air drying (HAD), and freeze drying (FD), on bioactive components, fatty acid composition, and the volatile compound profile of robusta coffee beans. The data showed that FD was an effective method to preserve fat, organic acids, and monounsaturated fatty acids. In contrast, HAD was ideal for retaining polyunsaturated fatty acids and amino acids.
