The study aimed to produce a functional ricotta cheese with chia seed extract (CSE) nanocapsules. First, the CSE was encapsulated using lecithin and basil seed gum, and its characteristics and antioxidant activity (AA) were evaluated. The free CSE (F-CSE) and encapsulated CSE (E-CSE) were then added to ricotta cheese formulation (1.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explored producing functional ricotta cheese by incorporating broccoli sprouts extract (BSE) using two forms: free extract and nano-capsules, in levels of 3% and 5% w/w.
  • Over a 15-day storage period at 4-6°C, results indicated that adding BSE increased the cheese's acidity, hardness, and chewiness while reducing pH, moisture, total phenol content, and antioxidant activity.
  • Cheeses with nano-capsulated BSE showed better preservation of bioactive compounds and higher sensory acceptance, particularly in flavor and overall quality, compared to those with free extract.

The high demands for the consumption of edible oils have caused scientists to struggle in assessing wild plants as a new source of seed oils. Therefore, in this study, the oil yield, fatty acid and tocopherol compositions, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the oils obtained from Iran's two endemic plants ( and ) were investigated. The obtained oil yields from the and .
