The aim of the study was to add blueberry flour (BF) to Bologna-type mortadella as a natural antioxidant and to evaluate its activity during in vitro digestion and refrigerated storage. Five treatments of mortadella were prepared: without antioxidant, with sodium erythorbate and with the addition of three levels of BF: 0.05 %, 0.075 % and 0.1 %. Twenty-three phenolic compounds were quantified in blueberry fruits and twenty-eight in BF, with prevalence of chlorogenic acid. The presence of BF did not affect the proximal composition of the mortadella, but it had a small effect on pH, hardness (texture profile) and instrumental color, as well as reduced lipid oxidation during refrigerated storage (2-8 °C) for 90 days. During in vitro digestion, the addition of BF increased the content of total phenolic compounds and the antioxidant activity of mortadella (p < 0.05), among all simulated stages. At a concentration of 0.05 %, BF can be used as a synthetic antioxidant substitute in Bologna-type mortadella, enhancing the use of blueberry fruits in the form of flour and enriching the product with natural antioxidants.

Vegan diets are currently attracting a great deal of attention. However, avoiding animal-based foods restricts the diet and is associated with risks, the extent and medical implications of which are at present not sufficiently understood. Elimination diets represent the usual therapeutic long-term management in the presence of food allergy.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study tested the impact of low-bush wild blueberry (LBP) and organic American cranberry (CRP) pomaces, with or without a multienzyme supplement (ENZ), on broiler chickens' growth, organ weight, and plasma metabolites over a 35-day period.
  • - Results showed that birds fed BMD were heavier and had better feed conversion compared to those receiving berry supplements; however, LBP led to heavier liver weights and altered plasma metabolite levels, particularly in enzyme-fed birds.
  • - Overall, the ENZ did not enhance the growth performance of the broilers, but indicated potential metabolic modulation effects from berry pomaces, with LBP boosting weight in the starter phase and CRP in

Effects of Adding Blueberry Residue Powder and Extrusion Processing on Nutritional Components, Antioxidant Activity and Volatile Organic Compounds of Indica Rice Flour.

Biology (Basel)

December 2022

Key Laboratory of Jianghuai Agricultural Product Fine Processing and Resource Utilization of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Anhui Agricultural University, Hefei 230036, China.

Using indica rice flour as the main raw material and adding blueberry residue powder, the indica rice expanded powder (REP) containing blueberry residue was prepared by extrusion and comminution. The effects of extrusion processing on the nutritional components, color difference, antioxidant performance and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of indica rice expanded powder with or without blueberry residue were compared. The results showed that the contents of fat and total starch decreased significantly after extrusion, while the contents of total dietary fiber increased relatively.

Extracts from bilberry leaves and blueberries containing a wide range of biologically active compounds, including polyphenols, are of particular interest due to their antioxidant, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties. In this regard, of this research was to investigate in vivo the effect of a concentrate of blueberrie polyphenolic compounds with buckwheat flour on some physiological and biochemical parameters in C57Bl/6 mice with impaired carbohydrate and lipid metabolism induced by the consumption of a high fat high carbohydrate (HFHC) diet. .
