Processing can affect (bio)chemical conversions in vegetables and can act on their volatile properties accordingly. In this study, the integrated effect of pretreatment and pasteurization on the volatile profile of leek and Brussels sprouts and the change of this profile upon refrigerated storage were investigated. Pretreatments were specifically selected to steer biochemical reactivities to different extents. Volatile profiles were analyzed by headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. For both vegetables, it was observed that different pretreatments prior to a pasteurization step led to diverse volatile profiles. The differences in volatile profiles observed in the different samples were presumably attributed to the different degrees of enzymatic conversions, further conversions of enzymatically formed products and thermally induced reactivities. Interestingly, the observed initial relative differences between volatile profiles of differently pretreated pasteurized samples were still observed after a refrigerated storage of 4 weeks at 4 °C. In conclusion, refrigerated storage only limitedly affected the resulting volatile profile.

Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research, Head Quarter, Food Science and Nutrition Research, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Background: It is well known that deterioration is a big concern in the food supply chain. The problem is more serious in handling of traditional foods in developing country such as Ethiopia, due to the limited knowledge about the optimum processing, packaging and storage conditions.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of packaging material and storage condition on the shelf life of Ethiopian traditional paste.

Phenolic acid-chitosan derivatives have received extensive attention due to their greatly enhanced mechanical, antibacterial and antioxidant properties, especially in food preservation. The chitosan-gentianic acid (CS-g-GA) was prepared and its impact on myofibrillar proteins (MPs) in sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) during refrigerated storage was investigated in this study. Fish fillets were immersed in distilled water, CS, GA and CS-g-GA solutions, respectively, followed by an 18-day refrigerated storage.

Background: The quality of Acipenser sinensis deteriorates significantly during frozen storage due to its high water, protein, and unsaturated fatty acid content. Conventional freezing methods are insufficient to preserve it effectively. This study investigated the effects of liquid nitrogen freezing (LNF) on the quality and myofibrillar protein (MP) characteristics of A.

As consumer awareness grows regarding the environmental and health impacts of animal-based products, plant-based alternatives are gaining popularity in developed countries. Plant-based proteins, like soy protein isolate (SPI), are valued for their sustainability and ability to complement animal proteins. SPI is commonly used in plant-based yogurts due to its high-quality protein, strong gelling capacity, and support for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) growth.
