"Yellow curd" (YC) is one of the most popular homemade Persian fermented foods and is consumed by many people. Notwithstanding, no studies are available to date on its nutritional and microbiological composition. In this study, we examined YC samples obtained from different local markets of Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran. The results of the chemical analyses revealed a homogenous content of protein (13.71% ± 1.07), lipids (4.09% ± 0.73), and carbohydrates (61% ± 2.13) among the samples. By comparing the average mineral content of YC with yogurt, many relevant differences were detected. Apart from the calcium content, which was similar on average to that of YC, all other minerals tested are present in higher amounts in YC than in yogurt. The analysis of the main sugars present (i.e., lactose, galactose and glucose) highlighted relevant differences among samples, indicating that different YC samples contain natural strains with different capabilities to metabolize sugars. The concentration of galactose in YC samples should be taken into consideration by galactose intolerant people. From the microbiological perspective, the metagenomics analysis revealed that lactic acid bacteria, and particularly the genera , , and were dominant in YC. The information provided shows that YC is an interesting base for the preparation of novel functional foods with a good content of beneficial bacteria.

Healthy non-bovine functional dairy products are reaching high interest among consumers. In the present study, an aqueous polyphenol-rich Moringa oleifera extract (MoE) and a Bifidobacterium strain of human origin (B. pseudolongum INIA P2) were added, alone or in combination, for the manufacture of three experimental and one control sheep milk cheeses.

The effects of high hydrostatic pressure on the constituents and coagulation ability and their effect on cheese production of sheep milk have not been studied in detail. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of high hydrostatic pressure processing on the coagulation kinetics and physicochemical properties of sheep milk and to explore how such treatment could improve the cheesemaking process. Five batches of milk were tested: 1 untreated control batch and 4 batches each subjected to a different pressure (150, 300, 450, or 600 MPa) for 5 min at 10°C.

Article Synopsis
- A new magnetic covalent organic framework (COF) was developed, named FeO@COF-SONa, for efficient extraction of the dye basic orange II from food samples.
- This framework utilizes techniques like ion exchange and hydrogen bonding for selective adsorption and demonstrates strong performance in detecting low concentrations of the dye, with detection limits as low as 1.0-1.4 µg/L in various food types.
- The study suggests that the tunability of COF functional groups through thiol-yne reactions allows for the design of effective adsorbents, highlighting a novel approach for food safety analysis.

The current study aimed to screen bacteriocin producing LAB from different dairy products and evaluation of their biological properties. Initially, 12 (4-chess, 4-curd, and 4-yohurt) LAB species were isolated and only 4 isolates alone were selected based on their clear yellow halo zone around the colonies in the selective medium. The selected 4 isolates were identified based on their morphological and biochemical characteristics.

Peas contain less protein than soy and vary in protein composition. Because peas contain more starch than soy and less lipids, an alternative procedure for pea tofu production needs to be developed to prevent excessive starch gelatinization while promoting curd development.
