To evaluate the occurrence and evolution of biogenic amines during ripening fermented sausages their relationship with physico-chemical microbiological properties product.Salsiccia Soppressata were obtained from artisanal industrial plants in Basilicata pH, aW, microbial counts amine content measured. A high variability was observed. 2-Phenylethylamine histamine rarely found, while tyramine, putrescine cadaverine increased ripening. No correlation found between individual content, or...
By-products from the coffee industry are produced in large amounts each year. Among other wastes, silver skin (CSS) is highly available and more stable due to its lower content of water. This research aimed characterize composition evidence potentiality for use as a food-safe ingredient new formulations. Results showed an average total dietary fiber 50% but with higher ratio insoluble than soluble fiber. A high phenolic compounds, chlorogenic acid, caffeine, caffeic acid was found correlated...
Fifty strains of Staph. xylosus, isolated from artisanal fermented sausages in Southern Italy (Lucania region) were tested to verify their potential produce or degrade biogenic amines. Twenty-six analysed not able form amines, but seven had the spermine and/or spermidine and, at lower levels, tryptamine and tyramine. By contrast, about 80% that did possess amino acid decarboxylase activity, exhibited an ability histamine. The greatest histamine-oxidase activity was present S81 (100%...
To evaluate some physiological characteristics of the Enterobacteriaceae isolated from Pecorino cheese.The production organic acids, secondary volatile compounds, biogenic amines (BA) and lipolytic proteolytic activities Citrobacter braakii, Enterobacter sakazakii, Escherichia coli, Kluyvera spp., Salmonella enterica ssp. arizonae Serratia odorifera strains were determined in skim milk after 48 h fermentation at 30 degrees C. The activity observed only Ser. spp. was confirmed by peptide...
The composition of microbiota and the content pattern bioactive compounds (biogenic amines, polyphenols, anthocyanins flavanols), as well pH, color, antioxidant reducing properties were investigated in fermented Criollo cocoa beans shells. analyses conducted after fermentation drying (T1) two thermal roasting processes (T2, 120 °C for 22 min; T3, 135 15 min). practices affected shells, explaining great variability biogenic amines (BAs) content. Enterobacteriaceae counted a few samples with...
The cacao shell (CS) and pod husk (CPH), two of the most promising high-fiber co-products agro-industrial chain, were evaluated to determine their potential incorporation into food products. This research determined bioactive compounds techno-functional properties CS CPH, was enzymatic inactivation by thermal treatments in CPH. We found that is rich protein, lipids, dietary fiber (48.1 ± 0.3 g 100 gdw−1), antioxidant molecules such as epicatechin (1.10 0.02 mg g−1) isoquercetin (1.04 0.09...
The coffee plant Coffea spp. offers much more than the well-known drink made from roasted bean. During its cultivation and production, a wide variety of by-products are accrued, most which currently unused, thermally recycled, or used as fertilizer animal feed. Modern, ecologically oriented society attaches great importance to sustainability waste reduction, so it makes sense not dispose production but bring them into value chain, prominently foods for human nutrition. There is certainly...
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO)-mediated browning can have adverse effects on foods' quality during processing. Therefore, it's important to find natural and efficient PPO-inhibitors. This study investigated the effect mechanism of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) extract in preventing PPO-mediated browning. Firstly, 0.5 g·L−1 S. cerevisiae extracts [calculated based reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration] significantly fresh-cut vegetable fresh juice. The degree decreased by maximum 51.92%...
Carob pulp flour has antidiabetic and antioxidant activities, is naturally sweet, rich in fibers. It obtained from carob pod the evergreen tree
Monoterpene α-pinene exhibits significant potential as an alternative fuel, widely recognized for its affordability and eco-friendly nature. It demonstrates multiple biological activities has a wide range of applications. However, the limited supply pinene extracted from plants poses challenge in meeting needs aviation industry other sectors. Considering this, microbial cell factory is only viable option achieving sustainable production. This study employed rational design model to optimize...
