This study highlights the differences in the metabolomes of cow milk yoghurt (CY) and goat milk yoghurt (GY) using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomic approach. The 1H HRMAS-NMR spectrum displayed 21 metabolites comprising organic acids, sugars, amino acids, amino acid derivatives and phospholipids. The orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis model clearly separated CY and GY groups, implying differences in metabolite composition.

Background: The identification of adulterated sweet potato vermicelli faces significant challenges, seriously hindering the development of the vermicelli industry. Herein, we investigate effects of energy-gathered ultrasound (EGU) and energy-divergent ultrasound (EDU) (30, 40 and 50 W L) on structure, DNA extraction and adulterated quantification of sweet potato vermicelli and its starch, thereby exploring their potential in adulteration of sweet potato vermicelli.
Results: EGU-assisted modified cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) protocol with β-mercaptoethanol significantly improved DNA extraction from sweet potato vermicelli (223.

Terahertz spectroscopy is an emerging rapid detection method that can be used to detect and analyze food quality issues. However, models developed based on various spectral characteristics of terahertz have shown different performances in food identification. Therefore, we preliminarily analyzed the effect of terahertz spectral characteristics on the identification and quantification of collagen powder adulterated with food powders (plant protein powder, corn starch, wheat flour) with the use of random forest (RF), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and partial least squares regression (PLSR), and determined the spectral characteristics suitable for identification and quantitative analysis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTomato paste is the most consumed tomato product on the Ghanaian market, the majority of which are imported into the country. This food product is easily adulterated, and thus, routine quality checks are necessary. Therefore, the current study is aimed at assessing the quality of eight tomato paste products on the Ghanaian market and checking for the presence of starch and artificial colourant erythrosine as possible adulterants.
