This study investigated the impact of adding raspberry pomace to the phenolic content and biological properties of freeze-dried apple/raspberry bars. The bars were prepared by replacing apple puree with raspberry pomace (5-50%), and their phenolic compounds were assessed using ethanol and buffer extracts. This work also explored the potential bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds in enriched bars through a simulated digestion process (digest).

Oil blending is increasingly utilized to improve and model the characteristics of enriched oils. This study aims to investigate the effect of blending refined sunflower oil (rich in essential omega 6 fatty acids) with cold-pressed flaxseed oil (a source of essential omega 3 fatty acids) on the fatty acid composition, quality, color, and sensory characteristics of the resulting oils. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the optimal fatty acid composition was achieved in the sample with 20% sunflower oil and 80% flaxseed oil (20S/80F).

The rise in the global population has increased the demand for dietary food protein. Strategies to maximize agricultural and livestock outputs could strain land and freshwater supply and contribute to substantial negative environmental impacts. Consequently, there has been an emphasis on identifying alternative sources of edible proteins that are more sustainable, sustainable, ethical, and healthy.

Galactose oxidase (GOase) is a versatile biocatalyst with a wide range of potential applications, ranging from synthetic chemistry to bioelectrochemical devices. Previous GOase engineering by directed evolution generated the M-RQW mutant, with unprecedented new-to-nature oxidation activity at the C6-OH group of glucose, and a mutational backbone that helped to unlock its promiscuity toward other molecules, including secondary alcohols. In the current study, we have used the M-RQW mutant as a starting point to engineer a set of GOases that are very thermostable and that are easily produced at high titers in yeast, enzymes with latent activities applicable to sustainable chemistry.

Food preservation aims to maintain safe and nutritious food for extended periods by inhibiting microbial growth that causes spoilage and poses health risks. Traditional chemical preservatives like sodium sulfite, sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate, tBHQ and BHA have raised concerns due to potential carcinogenicity, genotoxicity and allergies with long-term consumption. As a natural alternative, bacteriocins have emerged for food preservation.

Brassica vegetables contain glucosinolates and S-methyl-l-cysteine sulfoxide, which can be enzymatically hydrolyzed to form bioactive compounds. Glucosinolate hydrolysis can result in formation of health-promoting isothiocyanates, however, often less desirable nitriles and epithionitriles are formed due to presence of specifier proteins. Also, S-methyl-l-cysteine sulfoxide yields beneficial volatile organosulfur compounds (VOSC), such as S-methyl methanethiosulfinate.

Berberine is a natural substance obtained from the roots of common barberry which, due to its strong pharmacological activity, is a commonly tested ingredient of dietary supplements. However, ornamental barberries, which are widely available, have not been considered as a source of berberine so far. The research aimed to check whether the ornamental barberry leaves and twigs could be used as an easily accessible raw material for obtaining natural berberine-rich extract with biological activity.

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans, and one of the new strategies to increase its intake is to fortify foodstuff with Se-bioaccessible species. This study aimed to produce Se-microparticles (selenate, selenite and Se-organic) using combined methods of microencapsulation; fortify commercial plant-based beverages (PBBs); evaluate the stability of microparticles; and estimate the bioaccessibility of Se and its contribution to the Recommended Daily Intake (RDA). Samples and bioaccessible fractions were submitted to acid digestion and Se levels (total and bioaccessible) were quantified by ICP-MS.
