Ultrasound (US) is an emerging technology capable of affecting enzymes and microorganisms, leading to the release amino acids formation volatile compounds. The effect different exposure times (0, 3, 6, 9 min) US (25 kHz, 128 W) on proteolysis compounds dry fermented sausages during processing (day 0 28) storage 1 120) was investigated. Lower alanine, glycine, valine, leucine, proline, methionine, tyrosine levels were observed at beginning manufacture for sample subjected min (p < 0.05) when...
Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) conditions were optimized to improve the recovery of orange (Citrus sinensis) by-products terpenoids. The neuroprotective potential PLE extracts tested against a set in-vitro assay (antioxidant (ABTS), reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS)) as well enzymatic tests (acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and lipoxygenase (LOX)). Gas chromatography coupled high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-q-TOF-MS) analysis revealed higher...
This study investigated a sustainable alternative to squalene production utilizing Thraustochytrium sp. and Aurantiochytrium sp., thereby reducing dependence on critically endangered sharks exploited for this compound. By optimizing fed-batch cultivation, technique prevalent in industrial biotechnology, we have enhanced yields demonstrated, through sensitivity analysis, the significance of shift preserving species at risk extinction. Optimization culture conditions led highest biomass...
Aromatization of extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) with aromatic plants is commonly used to enrich the and antioxidant compounds. Ultrasound can be an alternative accelerate this process. The objective work was determine if ultrasound able EVOO aromatization rosemary basil how it affects migration volatile other compounds, oxidative stability capacity aromatized products. parameters (amplitude, time, temperature extraction) were optimized for each herb central composite designs. Free fatty acid,...
The effect of pork backfat replacement by gels containing skin and canola oil on some physicochemical, technological, nutritional, sensory parameters burgers was evaluated.Three different batches were manufactured: a control with 100% backfat, treatments T1 T2 where 50% replaced skin/ water/canola mixtures at 45 : 10 (T1) or 40 20 (T2) ratios.A fat reduction up to 34% an improvement the fatty acid profile achieved in reformulated burgers.Lower diameter lower cooking loss observed modified...
The aims of this study were to develop and characterize a fermented sausage produced with different percentages mutton (from adult female sheep, over four years old) additional native starter cultures. Three treatments prepared: (T1) 30% mutton; (T2) 60% (T3) 90% mutton. Starter cultures Staphylococcus xylosus LQ3 Pediococcus pentosaceus P38 used for the fermentation/maturation process. parameters aw, pH, acidity, weight loss, monitoring evaluated during fermentation maturation processes....
The present study aimed to evaluate two different processes of olive oil aromatization with Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, conventional maceration (CM) and ultrasound-assisted (UM), their influence on quality parameters, total phenolic compounds (TPC), fatty acid profile (FA), volatile organic (VOCs), antioxidant capacity, oxidative stability. Flavoring reduced peroxide values, although it increased free acids extinction coefficients. flavorization process did not change the FA profile,...
Phormidium autumnale (P. autumnale) is a cyanobacteria with an unknown metabolic system, since only few studies have been reported. Among the produced metabolites, sterols profile important considering ability to this cyanobacterium in producing such compounds and their benefits for human health. In study, compressed fluid technologies were evaluated obtain phytosterol-rich extracts from P. investigating potential neuroprotective properties. A preliminary study was performed by comparing...
The effect of a 50% reduction NaCl and its replacement by KCl, CaCl 2 , blend KCl (1 : 1) on lipid oxidation dry fermented sausages was investigated. We found that in decreased the intensity reactions to oxidation, while treatments with added resulted increased during manufacture storage. Fatty acid composition also changed owing presence showing decrease saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated fatty acids after 30 days Furthermore, of<mml:math...
Germination is a simple and cost-effective technology that enhances the technological, sensory, nutritional potential of grains, making them more attractive for use in food industry. Germinating indigenous seeds an alternative to increase noticeability add value these which hold social economic significance regions where they are cultivated, such as creole purple pericarp corn (PPCC) from Couto Magalhães de Minas region Brazil. This study aimed optimize germination parameters time (24-96 h)...
