The methods to obtain cellulose-chitosan composite films exhibiting excellent water-resisting and antibacterial abilities have been widely explored. Cellulose-chitosan-citric films (C-Ch-F) were successfully obtained by a facile coating of chitosan-citric complex on the surface of cellulose. The occurrence of nonenzymatic browning at 80 °C improved the thermal stability, water-resistance, mechanical property and oxygen-barrier ability of C-Ch-F membranes. C-Ch-F hydrogel showed excellent breaking stress of 6.03 ± 0.25 MPa, and elastic module of 27.09 ± 1.21 MPa, probably assigned to nonenzymatic browning. Under different test temperatures, the nonenzymatic browning and the content of chitosan-citric complex will significantly improve the oxygen barrier property of membranes (P < 0.05), and C-Ch-F membrane represented the value of oxygen permeation below the detection level. Excellent antibacterial capability of C-Ch-F hydrogels demonstrated that polycationic chitosan-citric complex immobilized in films still retained excellent antibacterial ability. The excellent decontamination in meat preservation endowed C-Ch-F films with potential application in food packaging.

Large yellow croaker roes were used to make fish sauce using enzymolysis method, and the impact of different fermentation temperatures (25, 32 and 40 °C) on the physicochemical characteristics and metabolite composition was revealed. Results indicated that compared with 25 and 32 °C, the higher contents of total acidity, amino nitrogen, total soluble nitrogen, and the deepening of the nonenzymatic browning degree of fish sauce fermented at 40 °C were obtained. The total volatile basic nitrogen content at 40 °C was lower than 32 °C.

Ready-to-eat (RTE) abalones, scallops and oysters were prepared through a process of cooking, drying, vacuum packaging, and high-temperature sterilization, and were subjected to accelerated storage. Upon storage, the three RTE shellfishes all showed color deterioration, as indicated by darker color, decreased L* and W* values, and increased a* value. In contrast, the color deterioration of RTE oysters was more pronounced.

Non-enzymatic browning (NEB) reduced the colour quality of hot-air dried peppers, but the specific mechanism remains unclear. This may be related to the degradation of chlorophyll, ascorbic acid, and polyphenols. The findings revealed that the surface of pepper gradually browned during hot-air drying, with the ΔE value and browning degree (BD) significantly increasing by 119.

The quality of Polygonatum cyrtonema rhizome is considerably influenced by steaming, a post-harvest procedure; however, the mechanisms behind this quality formation are not well understood. This study explored two innovative streaming methods for Polygonatum cyrtonema rhizome: constant temperature and humidity steaming and drying (CTHSD) and constant temperature and humidity combined with vacuum-steam pulsed steaming and drying (CTH + VSPSD). Traditional atmospheric steaming, simmering, and drying (ASD) were also used.

A color-deepening effect of theaflavins on the theanine-glucose thermal reaction model was revealed. Generated chromogenic intermediates in the initial stage and an accelerated browning rate through the promoted degradation of theanine-glucose Amadori rearrangement product in the intermediate and final stages are responsible for the color-deepening effect. Four pink-to-red theaflavin-theanine intermediates were verified as theaflavinies referencing the nuclear magnetic resonance and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry information on theaflavins and l-theanine, including one accurately identified as theaflavinie 4.
