In order to enhance the flavor, texture, color, and appearance of hazelnuts, they are roasted during postharvest processing. In this study, raw hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.) were roasted using microwave (MW) and MW-assisted hot air methods under various roasting conditions. The hazelnuts roasted were then examined to determine the percent DPPH radical scavenging activity, antioxidant capacity, total phenolic content, resistant starch, non-resistant starch, total starch, and protein concentration. The roasting experiments were done using a completely randomized factorial arrangement of two roasting types by three roasting times (9, 15, and 21 min) by three roasting temperatures (70, 90, and 110°C) using three replications within each experiment. These roasting methods were found to yield significant differences in antioxidant capacity, total phenolic content, resistant starch, non-resistant starch, and protein concentration between MW and MW-assisted hot air roasting processes, while no difference was found in percent DPPH radical scavenging activity and total starch. The results obtained may be of great importance to the food research community and industrial hazelnut roasting technologies.

Hazelnuts are frequently involved in IgE-mediated reactions and are the main cause of nut allergies in Europe. Most food products are processed before human consumption. Food processing can modify the structure, properties, and function of proteins, and as a result, the IgE-binding capacity of allergens can be affected.

The increase in food production is accompanied by an increase in waste, particularly agricultural by-products from cultivation and processing. These residues are referred to as agricultural by-products. To address this issue, biotechnological processes can be used to create new applications for these by-products.

Article Synopsis
- Acrylamide, found in heat-processed foods, poses health risks such as neurotoxicity and cancer, underscoring the need for effective detection methods.
- A user-friendly aptasensor has been developed to rapidly quantify low levels of acrylamide in nuts using a unique chemical engineering technique that visually indicates the presence of the chemical.
- The aptasensor demonstrates high sensitivity with a detection limit of just 0.106 amol/L and has been successfully tested on various roasted nut samples, proving its effectiveness for food safety monitoring.*

The brown marmorated stink bug () poses a significant threat to hazelnut crops by affecting kernel development and causing quality defects, reducing the market value. While previous studies have identified bitter-tasting compounds in affected kernels, the impact of stink bug feeding on the hazelnut metabolome, particularly concerning aroma precursors, remains underexplored. This study aims to map the nonvolatile metabolome and volatilome of hazelnut samples obtained by caging on different cultivars in two locations to identify markers for diagnosing stink bug damage.

- The study explored how different roasting degrees (light, medium, dark) affect the properties and sensory characteristics of ultra-high-pressure (UHP) cold brew coffee compared to traditional cold brew coffee.
- While many physical characteristics of UHP coffee were similar to conventional cold brew, certain chemical components, like antioxidants and caffeine, significantly increased with darker roasting degrees.
- Sensory analysis revealed that darker roasts enhanced nutty flavors and bitterness while reducing floral and fruity notes, and fewer differences were found in UHP coffee compared to conventional cold brew regarding the impact of roasting degree.
