ABSTRACT Chlorine was assessed as a reconditioning agent and wash water disinfectant in the fresh-cut produce industry. Artificial lettuce water, made from butterhead lettuce, used for experiments. In experiments, chlorine added to artificial inoculated with Escherichia coli O157 (6 log CFU/ml). Regression models were constructed based on inactivation data validated actual leafy vegetable processing companies. The model that incorporated dose chemical oxygen demand (COD) of accurately...
Abstract Because it is important to develop new sustainable sources of edible protein, insects have been recommended as a protein source. This study applied Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) investigate the environmental impact small-scale insect production unit in South Korea. IMPACT 2002 + was baseline assessment (IA) methodology. The CML-IA baseline, EDIP 2003, EDP 2013, ILCD 2011 Midpoint, and ReCiPe midpoint IA methodologies were also used for LCIA methodology sensitivity analysis. fat...
Limited information on monitoring adulteration in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) by hyperspectral imaging (HSI) exists. This work presents a comparative study of chemometrics for the authentication and quantification EVOO with cheaper edible oils using GC-MS, HSI, FTIR, Raman UV-Vis spectroscopies. The mixtures were prepared separately blending safflower oil, corn soybean canola sunflower sesame authentic different concentrations (0–20%, m/m). Partial least squares-discriminant analysis...
Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) is commonly used as a rapid measurement of the antimicrobial free chlorine during industrial fresh produce washing. The current study tested hypothesis that ORP can act "single variable" bacterial (vegetative and endospores) inactivation effectiveness with irrespective water pH value. This situation has on occasion been assumed but never confirmed nor disproven. Chlorine-dosed 6.5 8.5 phosphate buffer solutions were inoculated Escherichia coli (E. coli),...
Valorization of food waste is a potential strategy toward circular supply chain. In this regard, measuring the circularity valorization systems highly important to better understand multiple environmental impacts. Therefore, study investigated system (refining oil from olive kernel) using life cycle assessment methodology. An inventory an industrial-based kernel production also provided in study. The boundary was cradle factory gate system. results indicated that natural gas consumption...
β-lactoglobulin (BLG) is a major whey protein with numerous techno-functional properties desirable for the food industry. Phycocyanobilin (PCB), bioactive pigment of Arthrospira platensis health-promoting effects, covalently binds to BLG at physiological pH. This study investigated effects this covalent modification on functional properties. The BLG–PCB adduct possesses enhanced antioxidant properties, and bound PCB protects against free radical-induced oxidation. Despite similar thermal...
Human ingestion of microplastics (MPs) is common and inevitable due to the widespread contamination food items, but implications on gastric digestion proteins are still unknown. In this study, interactions between pepsin polystyrene (PS) MPs were evaluated by investigating enzyme activity conformation in a simulated human environment presence or absence PS MPs. The impact was also assessed monitoring kinetics protein hydrolysis through static vitro cow's milk contaminated with PS. binding...
Water conservation and economics dictate that fresh produce processors reuse/recirculate the process water. However, ensuing accumulation of organic matter in water depletes chlorine sanitizer required for food safety. In this study, we comprehensively investigated chemical compounds are responsible quality relation to oxygen demand (COD) (CLD), two most critical factors associated with treatment replenishment. Simulating commercial fresh-cut wash operations, multiple batches diced cabbage...
