Abstract Seafood processing has traditionally been challenging due to the rapid spoilage rates and quality degradation of these products. With rise food science technology, novel methods are being developed overcome challenges improve seafood quality, shelf life, safety. These range from high‐pressure (HPP) edible coatings, their exploration application in great importance. This review synthesizes recent advancements various emerging technologies used industry critically evaluates efficacy,...
Abstract This study presents an innovative anchovy burger formulation optimized using response surface methodology and Ideal Profile method. The objective is to create a nutritious, appealing, environmentally friendly alternative traditional red meat burgers. research utilized two-tiered experimental approach: initial screening Plackett-Burman Design evaluate the impact of various ingredients on cooking yield, texture, moisture retention, followed by optimization phase employing Central...
This study investigates the potential of utilizing three food wastes: cheese whey (CW), beet molasses (BM), and corn steep liquor (CSL) as alternative nutrient sources for cultivation diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, a promising source polyunsaturated eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) carotenoid fucoxanthin. The CW media tested did not significantly impact growth rate P. tricornutum; however, hydrolysate enhances cell growth. BM in medium biomass production fucoxanthin yield. optimization new...
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) have multiple beneficial effects on human health, in particular docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6, n-3) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5, n-3). A variety of microorganisms has been used for the commercial production non-animal-source LC-PUFAs. The oomycetes Pythium family are promising EPA producers, this work, optimization irregulare growth using food industry by-products wastes as cheap sources nutrients was carried out. Sugar cane molasses...
Basil crops are appreciated for their distinct flavour and appeal to various cuisines globally. production is mainly implemented in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) systems. Soil-less cultivation (e.g., hydroponic) optimal producing basil, while aquaponics another technique suitable leafy such as basil. Shortening the chain through efficient techniques reduces basil production’s carbon footprint. While organoleptic quality of demonstrably benefits from successive cuts, no studies...
Mozzarella stretching water (MSW) is a dairy effluent generated from mozzarella cheese production that does not have real use and destined to disposal, causing environmental problems representing high disposal cost for producers. Spent brewery yeast (SBY) another promising food waste produced after manufacturing could be recycled in new biotechnological processes. Aurantiochytrium mangrovei an aquatic protist known as producer of bioactive lipids such omega 3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty...
Osmotic dehydration is an important phase in the production of dried products, including most fruits and vegetables, food industry. The drying process for candied fruit produces a liquid waste called “spent osmotic solution”, which characterized by high content organic compounds, mostly dissolved sugars. sugar this by-product could be valorized through growth biomass with added value. In study, spent solution from industry was used as carbon source docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) cultivation...

A pilot re-circulating system was used for the cultivation of two Mediterranean calanoid copepods: Temora stylifera and Centropages typicus. The automatically concentrated naupliar copepodite stages. fed flagellate Rhodomonas baltica or Prorocentrum minimum, whereas C. typicus with a mixture R. P. minimum Tetraselmis suecica. Both copepods also received Isochrysis galbana. After 21 days, T. population increased 26-fold, reaching density 38 000 individuals, mostly represented by nauplii...
Abstract BACKGROUND The present study reports for the first time physical, chemical and sensory characterization of a traditional fish sauce from Italy, called ‘ Colatura di Alici ’, which is considered to be direct descendant ancient roman Garum ’. RESULTS Among volatile compounds, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, sulphuric compounds pyrazines were identified. most abundant identified 3‐methyl‐butanoic acid, nonanal 3‐methyl‐butanal. sample A had highest amount fatty acids (>250 μg kg −1 ) B...
Cynara cardunculus (Asteraceae family) is a perennial plant native to Mediterranean regions. This represents source of high-value compounds, such as polyphenols and fatty acids that have several industrial applications. However, in vitro cell cultures can represent valid alternative in-field cultivation facilitate the extraction metabolites commercial interest. Generally, sucrose main sugar used for cultures, but other carbon sources be considered. Here, we investigated potential use organic...
This study explored the cultivation of Porphyridium cruentum using beet molasses and corn steep liquor (CSL) as alternative agri-waste substrates. The objective was to enhance biomass lipid production P. cruentum, known for its potential an industrial EPA producer. Using a Box-Behnken Design (BBD) part response surface methodology (RSM), we investigated effects molasses, CSL, F/2 nutrients on microalga's cultivation. results demonstrated significant influence these factors final cell count...
This study involves an investigation of the effects various cooking temperatures, freeze–thaw processes, and food preservatives on quality shelf-life sous vide Mediterranean mussels. Cooking temperatures 80 °C or above significantly improved microbiological quality, with bacterial counts remaining within acceptability range for human consumption even after 21 days refrigerated storage. Fast freezing followed by slow thawing preserved highest moisture content, potentially improving texture....
