Influence of induced electric field on cold brew coffee: Temperature rise, physicochemical properties, and shelf life.

Cold brew coffee has gained significant popularity in the global market. This study examined the differences in chemical properties and flavor of cold brew coffee during storage, which was subjected to low-temperature pasteurization using induced electric field (IEF) at temperatures of 52 °C and 58 °C for 92 s, corresponding to 18.52 V/cm and 25.

Machine learning supported single-stranded DNA sensor array for multiple foodborne pathogenic and spoilage bacteria identification in milk.

Ensuring food safety through rapid and accurate detection of pathogenic bacteria in food products is a critical challenge in the food supply chain. In this study, a non-specific optical sensor array was proposed for the identification of multiple pathogenic bacteria in contaminated milk samples. Fluorescence-labeled single-stranded DNA was efficiently quenched by two-dimensional nanoparticles and subsequently recovered by foreign biomolecules.

Effect of Storage Temperature on Storage Life and Sensory Attributes of Packaged Mustard Microgreens.

Short shelf life limits the commercial value of mustard microgreens. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different storage temperatures on postharvest quality and sensory attributes of mustard microgreens to identify the optimum storage temperature. Mustard microgreens were stored at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 °C in 150 µm polyethylene bags.

The Relation Between College Students' Social Anxiety and Mobile Phone Addiction: The Mediating Role of Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy and Subjective Well-Being.

The present study explores the underlying mechanism of the relationship between college students' social anxiety and mobile phone addiction. Adopting college students' social anxiety scale, regulatory emotional self-efficacy scale, subjective well-being scale and mobile phone addiction scale, this research tested valid samples of 680 Chinese college students. The results indicated that social anxiety exerted a significant and positive impact on mobile phone addiction.

Antimicrobial effects of thymol-loaded phytoglycogen/zein nanocomplexes against foodborne pathogens on fresh produce.

In this study, thymol-loaded hydrophobically modified phytoglycogen/zein nanocomplexes with a particle size around 100 nm were developed for improving microbial safety of fresh produce. The antimicrobial activities, including the determination of minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentration, growth kinetic curves, and inhibition zone of the nanocomplexes against foodborne pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enteritidis, and Escherichia coli) were evaluated. The results showed that the antimicrobial activities of the nanocomplexes were significantly stronger than that of free thymol control (without encapsulation), and the antimicrobial efficacy remained unchanged after storage at 4 °C for 60 days.

Red Cabbage Microgreens Lower Circulating Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Liver Cholesterol, and Inflammatory Cytokines in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States, and hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor. Population studies, as well as animal and intervention studies, support the consumption of a variety of vegetables as a means to reduce CVD risk through modulation of hypercholesterolemia. Microgreens of a variety of vegetables and herbs have been reported to be more nutrient dense compared to their mature counterparts.

Proliferation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Soil-Substitute and Hydroponic Microgreen Production Systems.

Radish (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus) microgreens were produced from seeds inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 by using peat moss-based soil-substitute and hydroponic production systems. E.

Comparison of the growth of Escherichia coli O157: H7 and O104: H4 during sprouting and microgreen production from contaminated radish seeds.

Both sprouts and microgreens are popular tender produce items, typically grown and harvested in indoor facilities which allow a higher degree of control compared to open field production. While sprouts, which have frequently been implicated in foodborne illness outbreaks, are the subject of numerous national and international standards for their production and distribution, there is a lack of data pertaining to the microbiological safety of microgreens. In this study, sprouts and microgreens were produced from radish seeds inoculated with Escherichia coli O157: H7 or O104: H4 and E.

Effect of light exposure on sensorial quality, concentrations of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity of radish microgreens during low temperature storage.

Radish microgreens constitute a good source of bioactive compounds; however, they are very delicate and have a short shelf life. In this study, we investigated the impact of light exposure and modified atmosphere packaging on sensorial quality, bioactive compound concentrations and antioxidant capacity of radish microgreens during storage. Results showed that light exposure during storage increased the amount of ascorbic acid and had no effect on α-tocopherol or total phenolic concentrations.

Profiling polyphenols in five Brassica species microgreens by UHPLC-PDA-ESI/HRMS(n.).

Brassica vegetables are known to contain relatively high concentrations of bioactive compounds associated with human health. A comprehensive profiling of polyphenols from five Brassica species microgreens was conducted using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography photodiode array high-resolution multistage mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-ESI/HRMS(n)). A total of 164 polyphenols including 30 anthocyanins, 105 flavonol glycosides, and 29 hydroxycinnamic acid and hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives were putatively identified.

Assessment of vitamin and carotenoid concentrations of emerging food products: edible microgreens.

Microgreens (seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs) have gained popularity as a new culinary trend over the past few years. Although small in size, microgreens can provide surprisingly intense flavors, vivid colors, and crisp textures and can be served as an edible garnish or a new salad ingredient. However, no scientific data are currently available on the nutritional content of microgreens.

Hypocholesterolemic effects of Auricularia auricula ethanol extract in ICR mice fed a cholesterol-enriched diet.

The cholesterol-lowering properties of Auricularia auricula are commonly attributed to the presence of polysaccharides based on previous research. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of ethanol extract of A. auricula (AAE) on hypercholesterolemia in ICR mice.

Dietary intervention with AHP, a functional formula diet, improves both serum and hepatic lipids profile in dyslipidemia mice.

Aurricularia aurricula, hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida), and Pueraria radix are well known for both traditional food and folk medicine. Each of the above 3 plants possesses a distinct pathway contributing to treat dyslipidemia. To develop a health-promoting diet against dyslipidemia, the polysaccharides from A.
