Heat-induced color changes of crustaceans are commonly described as the release of astaxanthin. In this study on Crangon crangon, it was found that astaxanthin plays a minor role in the (dis)coloration. By LC-HRMS, two polar, process dependent pigments were found. One pigment was identified as riboflavin and one as drosopterin (level-2 certainty). Thermal treatments had highest effect on drosopterin concentration changes and were chosen as indicator for a kinetic study of heat-induced color changes. The kinetic data fitted a consecutive step model (r = 0.971), including a first step in which drosopterin was released (k = 0.95 ± 0.09 min; Ea = 105 ± 4 kJ/mol) and a second step where drosopterin is degraded (k = 0.02 ± 0.002 min; Ea = 190 ± 15 kJ/mol). The kinetic model shows that shrimp should be heated at lower temperatures (<80 °C) than the heating temperatures used by fishermen (86-101 °C), creating opportunities for quality optimization. Therefore, this study delivers essential information needed in a comprehensive quality optimization study of the cooked brown shrimp.

Introduction: In the forensic field, having accurate understanding of the macroscopic and microscopic alterations that occur in teeth when exposed to temperatures has remarkable significance. The preservation of delicate incinerated teeth is crucial in fire investigations that pertain to the temperature exposed, as well as the identification of victims. This preservation is necessary in order to conduct macroscopic and microscopic ultra-structural examinations, which provide valuable insights into the structural alterations that dental tissues undergo when exposed to low to high temperatures.

Organic-inorganic metal halides have attracted great attention due to their tunable structural and spectroscopic properties. Here, two organic-inorganic hybrid manganese bromides, (TEMA)MnBr (TEMA = triethylmethylammonium) and (TEBA)MnBr (TEBA = benzyltriethylammonium), are synthesized using the evaporation crystallization method. Following a heat-induced phase transition at 363 K, the structure and optical properties of (TEMA)MnBr change but return to their initial state upon cooling to room temperature, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence (PL), and Raman spectra.

Bee products, including bee pollen (BP) and bee bread (BB) are natural sources that contain a diverse range of bioactive compounds. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of BP and BB to enhance the functional properties of shortcrust pastry cookies. The impact on BP and BB on the colour parameters, polyphenolic compounds content, heat-induced compounds content (acrylamide, furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)), antioxidant properties, and inhibitory effects against advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was examine by enriching cookies with 3 and 10% of BP or BB.

While a recent characterization of non- thermally inactivated yeasts (TIYs) in a wine-like solution highlighted the release of oenologically relevant compounds and different oxygen consumption rates and antioxidant activity, here the impact of TIYs derived from (SL), (MP), (TD), and (SC), as the reference strain, was evaluated in white wine. Wine treatment with TIYs resulted in an increase in polysaccharide concentration compared to the untreated wine, with SL-TIY exhibiting the highest release. Additionally, all TIYs, particularly SL-TIY, improved protein stability by reducing heat-induced haze formation.

Global warming significantly threatens crop production, and adversely affects plant physiology due to rising temperatures. Oriental hybrid lily, an ornamental plant of economic importance, experiences flower color changes in response to elevated temperatures. Anthocyanins belong to a subgroup of flavonoids and are the primary pigments responsible for the coloration of oriental hybrid lily petals.
