Two edible coatings (gelatin coating and ginger essential oil-gelatin coating) were prepared to maintain the flavor quality of fish fillets at two storage temperatures (4 °C 25 °C). The effects on evaluated by detecting physical properties, microstructure, microbial volatile taste fish. In same method, stored 4 showed better effect than that water content, color texture, however, closer fresh in °C; whatever temperature, could slow down growth microorganisms, color, fillets; GGC exhibited GC.

Gelatin emulsion was an important process for preparing gelatin films. A film with water resistance and ductility could be prepared using emulsion, whereas the has several defects (e.g., low tensile strength poor thermal stability). This study aimed to modify through ultrasonic treatment, then by modified emulsion. The results showed that: under condition of treatment 12 min at 400 w, zeta potential viscosity were largest; thickness, vapor permeability (WVP) solubility (WS) corresponding...

Abstract Methionine restriction (MR) provides metabolic benefits in many organisms. However, mechanisms underlying the MR-induced effect remain incompletely understood. Here, we show budding yeast S. cerevisiae that MR relays a signal of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) deprivation to adapt bioenergetic mitochondria nitrogenic anabolism. In particular, decreases cellular SAM constrain lipoate metabolism and protein lipoylation required for operation tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle mitochondria,...

In this study, novel umami peptides were prepared from oyster (Crassostrea gigas) hydrolysates, and their mechanisms investigated. Umami fractions G2 G3 isolated by gel filtration chromatography (GFC) sensory evaluation. The scores of the 7.8 ± 0.12 7.5 0.18, respectively. 36 potential with molecular weights below 1500 Da, E D accounting for >30% iUmami-SCM > 588 screened peptidomics. Peptide source analysis revealed that myosin, paramyosin, sarcoplasmic major precursor proteins these...

Traditional food packaging has problems such as nondegradable and poor safety. Edible films play an important role in packaging, transportation storage, having become a focus of research due to their low cost, renewable, degradable, safe non-toxic characteristics. According the different materials edible substrate, are usually categorized into proteins, polysaccharides composite films. Functional properties prepared from substrate also vary, single defective some aspects. ingredients...
