Present work evaluated the extraction yield and quality of protein from defatted sesame meal (DSM) using ultrasound-assisted (UAE), low-temperature microwave-assisted (MAE), moderate electric field-assisted (MEFAE). It was observed that application emerging technologies as pre-treatments significantly increased 26.4% (without pre-treatments) to 38.9% (with UAE 450 W–20 min), 36.05% for MAE 500 min) 32.75% MEFAE 100 V–30 improved functional properties Sesame isolate (SPI). FTIR revealed Amide...

Protein-carbohydrate interactions occur naturally in glycoproteins which are highly stable nature and involved various food complexes can enhance the quality functional properties of foods. In current study, we characterized protein-carbohydrate complex formed between commercial soy protein isolate rice starch using different treatments namely heat treatment alone, ultrasound combination mixing alone. The structural data obtained circular dichroism indicated that during formation, α-helix...

Aflatoxin contamination is a significant barrier in the international trade of major spices like chilli, aniseed, and pepper. Hence, it crucial to develop effective aflatoxin decontamination management strategies enhance export potential Indian spices. However, traditional methods employed for reduction significantly impact characteristics chilli. Thus, an investigation was conducted determine effectiveness non-thermal, light-based techniques such as UV-C, blue LED atmospheric plasma...

Abstract The current study investigates the effect of microwave (MW), Ohmic heating (OH), and ultrasound (US) pre‐treatments on extraction bioactive compounds drying kinetics ginger using a vacuum‐assisted conductive system. US pre‐treatment produced acoustic cavitation, microstreaming in slices which enhanced total phenolic content radical scavenging activity 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (i.e., 14.83 ± 0.03 mg GAE/ml 57.37 0.00%) obtained aqueous extract (AGE). Similarly, OH...

Power ultrasound (US)-modified tomato waste (pomace) was used to prepare a highly efficient novel biosorbent, which then remove congo red (CR) and methylene blue (MB) dyes from an aqueous solution. Characterization of produced biosorbent using the US done Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET analysis), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric...
