The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of adding copigment gallic acid (GA) on the stability of anthocyanin and color in blueberry juice, and assays were carried out with different anthocyanin:GA molar ratios (1:0, 1:1, 1:3, 1:5) in accelerated experiments (40 °C for 10 days). Results showed that the addition of GA made blueberry juice to appear more crimson color tonality, color saturation and anthocyanins stability. The most obvious hyperchromic effect appeared in juice with 1:5 of anthocyanin:GA molar ratios, and in this ratio, total anthocyanin content (137.67 mg/L) and main anthocyanin peonidin-3-glucoside content (51.68 mg/L) of the blueberry juice were higher than juice without copigment (total anthocyanin of 116.96 mg/L and peonidin-3-glucoside of 34.2 mg/L). Furthermore, anthocyanins in blueberry juice copigmented with molar ratios 1:5 of anthocyanin:GA were more stable at 4 °C than that at 25 °C and 40 °C. Thus, the addition of gallic acid at appropriate levels might be a promising juice process technology to obtain juices with high color quality and anthocyanin stability.

Article Synopsis
- The study developed functional beverages using jarilla, a medicinal plant from Argentina, and blueberry juice sweetened with lemon honey, utilizing maltodextrin for encapsulation.
- Both beverages exhibited high water solubility and retained significant polyphenol and flavonoid contents after spray-drying, while anthocyanins were less stable.
- The powdered version showed strong antioxidant properties and potential inhibition of key digestive enzymes, with favorable sensory evaluations, indicating its viability as a non-toxic functional food.

Article Synopsis
- Natural fruit juices are becoming more popular due to consumer demand for healthier options, but traditional heating methods can damage their quality.
- This study explores pulsed thermosonication, a gentler method of processing, to inactivate microbes in blueberry juice while preserving its beneficial compounds.
- Results show that thermosonication at lower temperatures is more effective and quicker for microbial reduction without harming the juice's nutritional and sensory qualities compared to conventional heating.

Background: Fruits are an important source of flavonoids, and greater intake of dietary flavonoids in older adults has been shown to be associated with decreased risk of dementia. It is unclear whether this relationship is similar or different between younger adults and older adults.
Objectives: We examined for associations between midlife and late-life intake of flavonoid-rich fruits and incident dementia.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disorder marked by the buildup of triacylglycerols (TGs) in the liver. It includes a range of conditions, from simple steatosis to more severe forms like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can advance to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. NAFLD's prevalence is rising globally, estimated between 10% and 50%.

The effects of MRS, whey protein and blueberry alone, and mixed fermentation on the survival rate of lactic acid bacteria under various freeze-drying conditions were investigated. The surface structure of the freeze-dried powders was also investigated to explore the anti-freezing protection mechanism of mixed whey protein and blueberry fermentation on the bacteria. It was found that the mixed fermentation medium of blueberry and whey protein has a protective effect on the freeze-drying bacteria and is better than the traditional MRS and whey protein medium.
