Meat products are highly perishable and have a short shelf life. The effects of using a molecular hydrogen-producing magnesium-incorporated coating (H-P-Mg) on the color, pHysicochemical properties, deterioration, biogenic amines, free amino acid profile, and volatilomic profile of beef meatballs were evaluated. The meatballs were coated with different films as follows: group A (uncoated), group B (whey protein coating), group C (whey protein coating +7 % thyme extract), group D (whey protein coating +7 % thyme extract + Mg), and group E (whey protein coating + Mg). At the end of storage, group E samples showed higher color scores and lower pH (5.89) and Eh7 (+260 mV) values. At the end of storage, the H-P-Mg coating (groups D and E) showed an inhibitory effect on TBARS (58-64 %) and biogenic amines (15.38-25.87 %). The concentrations of putrescine, histamine, cadaverine, and tyramine were reduced by about 15, 20, 22, and 26 % in Mg-coated samples compared to the control. Group E showed higher levels of histidine, tyrosine, and lysine. Group D had the lowest levels of ketones and aldehydes. The use of H-P-Mg as an edible coating can bring numerous nutritional, safety, and technological benefits to meat technology.

Polymerized whey protein (PWP) and Auric Polysaccharide (AP) are crucial functional biopolymers. However, their application in goat milk yogurt has not been explored. This study investigated the structural alterations within PWP-AP gels with the AP concentration varied from 0 to 1.

This study investigated the role of thermal drive in the formation of soy protein isolate and whey protein isolate (SPI-WPI) complexes, as well as the stability effect of SPI-WPI complexes on high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs). The shift in the peaks in the infrared spectrum and the change in fluorescence intensity indicated the interaction between these two proteins, which implies that SPI-WPI is not two dispersed groups of particles. Maximum emulsification activity (10.

About 90 % of global lactate production is derived from bacterial fermentation of sugars via pure homofermentative cultures in batch mode. Acid whey, which is a lactose-rich wastewater from the yogurt industry, can be used as an alternative substrate for commercial lactate production. Operating reactor microbiomes reduces the lactate production costs by circumventing sterilization, while continuous operation with biomass retention achieves higher productivity at shorter production times.

Developing effective food-grade stabilizers for nano-Pickering emulsions (NPEs) presents a considerable challenge, as conventional binary systems often exhibit limited functionality. The potential of ternary conjugates incorporating bioactive phenolic compounds remains underexplored. This study aimed to synthesize a novel stabilizer through covalent bonding of whey protein concentrate (WPC), maltodextrin (MD), and pomegranate peel extract (PPex) under alkaline conditions.

Fucoidans are branched sulfated polysaccharides primarily derived from brown seaweed, especially the Fucus genus, as well as other algae and marine invertebrates. With pseudoplastic behavior, they offer promising applications in cosmetics, pHarmaceuticals, and food industries. While traditional drug delivery materials are well-studied, fucoidans have gained attention as encapsulants, particularly in combination with chitosan and whey protein concentrate, which enhances their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioactivity.
