The results showed that contain 5.02, 21.07, 39.02, 3.02, 6.01, 25.86% moisture, crude proteins, fat, ash, fiber, carbohydrates, respectively. It also contains substantial amounts minerals, namely calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, iron, zinc, copper. Glutamic acid (4.10 g/100 g protein) is major amino seeds. volatile...

The aquaculture sector is among the most significant and fastest-growing sectors of global agrifood system. production not only increasingly important as a primary protein source to feed world's population, but also enormous importance trade good in commerce. However, industry faces many challenges meet demands including over-exploited natural stocks, warming, pollution, perishability, widespread food frauds, food-borne diseases. A major requirement increasing demand for seafood security...

Although various inhibitors have been employed to react with phenylacetaldehyde form adducts and thus interrupt the formation of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), high concentrations PhIP remain in final system. It remains unknown whether other critical aldehyde or ketone intermediates are involved generation PhIP, scavenging these reactive carbonyls simultaneously may achieve higher inhibitory efficiency PhIP. In this study, a glucose/creatinine/phenylalanine model...

Food authenticity and safety are major concerns for researchers, consumers, particularly the meat industry. Meat products targets species substitution adulteration due to their market value. Presently, demand halal is witnessing a substantial increase. Therefore, it essential use appropriate science-based methods determining origin of meat. DNA barcoding useful technique molecular identification biological specimens, raw processed foods. The potential using increasingly applied as an...

Among the toxin-producing microbes, those that produce mycotoxins are especially problematic due to their broad distribution in environments and foods. Several species of Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium sources potent such as aflatoxins, ochratoxins, patulin, deoxynivalenol, fumonisins. It is, therefore, vital mycotoxigenic fungi contaminants food rapidly accurately identified for ensuring safety consumers. Most current methods based on PCR using gene-specific or species-specific primers....

Recently, the use of biostimulants as natural and eco-friendly fertilizers has received increasing attention because their efficiency in terms improving crops’ qualitative quantitative parameters, i.e., growth, yield, chemical composition. We studied effect four biostimulants—humic acid (20 g/L), vermicompost tea (15 mL/L), moringa leaf extract (1:30 v/v), yeast (5 with tap water a control treatment—on characteristics snap beans. The experiment was designed using complete randomized block...

Abstract The determination of geographical origin is a demand the traceability system import–export food products. One hypothesis for tracing source product by global analysis microbial communities and statistical linkage this to food. For purpose, molecular technique employing 26S rDNA profiles generated PCR–DGGE was used detect variation in yeast community structures three species Physalis fruit ( ixocarpa Brat, pubescens L, pruinosa L) from four Egyptian regions (Qalyoubia, Minufiya,...

Recently, the demand for composite edible coatings has increased significantly as a new trend to confront serious processing and storage problems that always arise regarding chicken meat. We aim develop carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) coating containing various concentrations (0, 1, 2, 3, 4%) of an ethanolic propolis extract (EPE) maintain quality extend shelf life breast meat stored at 2 °C 16 days. The influence CMC EPE on physicochemical microbiological parameters meat, e.g., pH, color,...

Worldwide aquaculture production is increasing, but with this increase comes quality and safety related problems. Hence, there an urgent need to develop potent technologies extend the shelf life of fish. Xanthan gum commonly used in food industry because its high-water solubility, stability aqueous solutions a wide pH range, high viscosity. One modern applications use as gelling agent edible coatings building. Therefore, study, effect xanthan coating containing various concentrations (0, 1,...

The pharmaceutical industry has boosted gelatin consumption worldwide. This is supported by the availability of cost-effective production from porcine by-products. However, cross-contamination materials, where was unintentionally included in other animal sources gelatin, caused significant concerns about halal authenticity. real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enabled a highly specific and sensitive species detection method various food products. Hence, such technique employed present...

ABSTRACT Ground cherry (Physalis pubescens L.) is one of the most promising exotic fruits and some interesting functional products could be developed from these berries. The fresh juice was yellowish or orangey had a light, sweet taste with acidic nature (pH 3.5). titratable acidity 1.43, polyphenols 76.6 mg/100 mL vitamin C 38.8 mL. Physalis rich in carotenoids (70 µg/mL). high level minerals such as phosphorus (578 mL), potassium (1,196 zinc (2.4 mL) boron (1 mL). essential amino acids...

Abstract BACKGROUND Poor quality and quantity of DNA extracted from gelatin capsules often causes failure in the determination animal species using PCR . Gelatin, which is mainly derived porcine bovine, has been a matter concern among customers order to fulfill religious obligation safety precaution against several transmissible infectious diseases associated with bovine species. Thus, optimised extraction very important for successful real‐time detection In this work, method was terms lysis...

Abstract BACKGROUND The growth of halal food consumption worldwide has resulted in an increase the request for authentication. DNA‐based detection using powerful real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique been shown to be highly specific and sensitive authentication tool. efficient DNA extraction method terms quality quantity is a backbone step obtain successful PCR assays. In this study, different methods three lysis buffers were evaluated developed recommend much more as well...

Abstract Traceability is now one of the great concerns customers and food regulators. We proposed a new analytical molecular method based on analysis in universal way microbial communities that we linked statistically to its geographical origin. 28S rDNA profiles generated by PCR-DGGE were used detect variation fungal three species Physalis fruit (Physalis ixocarpa Brot, pubescens L, pruinosa L) from four Egyptian regions (Qalyoubia, Minufiya, Beheira, Alexandria). The different specific for...

Objectives Shea tree is a multi-purpose daily used by rural African communities. Economic importance of fruits has been rising and achieving great success in African, American European markets. butter mainly chocolate industry, cosmetic or pharmacological products. Traceability now one the concerns customers lawyers. In view difficulties installing these documentary systems developing country particularly countries sub-Saharan Africa, new strategies traceability emerge. Methods Molecular...
