Article Synopsis
- - The study conducted a meta-analysis on the prevalence and levels of Ochratoxin A (OTA) in beer, reviewing 30 papers with a total of 70 data reports, which revealed a combined OTA prevalence of 50.60%.
- - The countries with the highest OTA levels in beer were identified as South Africa, Slovakia, Portugal, Tunisia, and Greece, with South Africa having the highest concentration at 1170.750 μg/L.
- - While the risk of non-carcinogenic effects from OTA in beer is deemed acceptable in most countries, it is advised to improve the quality control of raw materials like barley, especially in South Africa and Slovakia.
This study aimed to stabilize and mask the bitterness of peptides obtained from the enzymatic hydrolysis of coconut-meal protein with maltodextrin (MD) and maltodextrin-pectin (MD-P) as carriers via spray-drying. Essential (~35%), hydrophobic (~32%), antioxidant (~15%), and bitter (~45%) amino acids comprised a significant fraction of the peptide composition (with a degree of hydrolysis of 33%). The results indicated that the peptide's production efficiency, physical and functional properties, and hygroscopicity improved after spray-drying.
