The fruit of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one most abundant fruits in world. Hundreds varieties having different texture, color, and flavor are available for valorization adoption food processing operations. Such utilization should be based on valuable characteristics; mainly its richness dietary fiber phenolic antioxidants. This review article complements these existing reviews by primarily addressing chemistry pulp seeds with particular emphasis antioxidants as linked to...

The global demand for safe and healthy food with minimal synthetic preservatives is continuously increasing. Natural antimicrobials especially essential oils (EOs) possess strong antimicrobial activities that could play a remarkable role as novel source of preservatives. Despite the excellent efficacy EOs, they have not been widely used in industry due to some major intrinsic barriers, such low water solubility, bioavailability, volatility, stability systems. Recent advances nanotechnology...

Abstract The consumption of omega‐3 fatty acids provides a wide range health benefits. However, the incorporation these in foods is limited because their high oxidative instability. A new paradigm has emerged to better explain oxidation mechanism polyunsaturated acids, which will be discussed here with reference bulk lipids considered special case water oil microemulsion. This suggests that lipid reactions are initiated by heterogeneous catalysis metal oxides followed formation micelles...

Abstract Date fruits vary widely in the hardness of their edible parts and they are classified accordingly into soft, semi-dry, dry varieties. Fruit texture, a significant parameter determining consumer acceptance, is related to tissue structure chemical composition fruit, mainly ratio sucrose reducing sugars. This study aimed understand relationship between composition, microstructure, texture profile 10 major Emirati date fruits. The soluble sugars, glucose fructose, represent ca 80 g/100...

Phenolic compounds in date palm fruit (dates) contribute to the color, antioxidant activity, and nutritional value of fruit. This study aimed compare accuracy Folin–Ciocalteu, 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS.+), ferric reducing power (FRAP), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) methods for measuring total activity extracts. A 26 varieties from United Arab Emirates Pakistan that varied color shape were analyzed terms their phenolic content using...

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...

In this study, polymer solution casting was utilized to fabricate a multilayer film with ethylcellulose (EC) as the outer layers and trans-cinnamaldehyde-loaded pectin inner layer. A significant increase in whiteness UV–visible light blocking capability remarkable decrease total color difference yellowness of films were seen via increasing thickness EC layers. Scanning electronic microscopy observation showed that had smooth uniform surfaces clear boundary. The thicker has better...

Achieving the sustainability of protein is central to creating a sustainable food system. Current meat consumption patterns require paradigm shift, as status quo unsustainable. However, at present, consumer participation in this shift limited necessitating change behaviour. This review seeks understand willingness consume alternative proteins (cultured meat, edible insects, plant and fermentation-based proteins) factors influencing their decisions, considering variations across categories...

ABSTRACT: The effect of temperature on electroporation plant tissues during the pulsed electric field (PEF) or alternative current (AC) treatment was studied. characteristic damage time t, which determines effectiveness mechanism in tissue damage, estimated for potatoes range strengths E = 40 to 500 V/cm and at temperatures T 22°C 49 °C PEF experiments. Experimental results AC ohmic heating potato apple are evidence importance moderate fields (MEF), when strength is under 100 V/cm, show that...

In this study, the variability in 23 physicochemical properties related to fruit size, color, texture, and taste (sugars organic aids) was investigated 21 date varieties grown UAE. The results revealed extensive variation with some traits displaying high coefficient of variations, e.g. flesh weights (33.0% 35.8%), red/green yellow/blue colors (43.3% 55.6%), acids (31.7–40.5%), texture profile variables (hardness cycles 1 2, adhesive force, fracturability, springiness, 27.0–68.6%). Total...

This study evaluated the influence of supplementing bovine milk with increasing levels camel (0–60%) on different properties yogurt. Fresh raw and milks were heated separately at 85 °C for 5 min mixed before fermentation lactic acid bacteria. The decrease in gel strength after addition caused a viscosity related parameters including G', G", stringiness, syneresis. Bostwick consistency values increased proportions providing further evidence that produced yogurts are less viscous have higher...

Purpose Knowing the students' readiness for fourth industrial revolution (4IR) is essential to producing competent, knowledgeable and skilled graduates who can contribute workforce in country. This will assist Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) ensure that their own skill sets needed work 4IR era. However, studies on preparedness developing countries such as Sultanate of Oman are still lacking. Therefore, this study investigates level 4IR. The findings benefit HEIs policymakers,...

Despite having an appealing nutritional profile and lower environmental impacts compared to traditional meat products, edible insects face challenges in gaining consumer acceptance, especially western societies. No study on has been conducted France. Hence, this aims evaluate French consumers' willingness adopt insect-based food (IBF) identify factors influencing entomophagy (the consumption of as food). A 46-question online questionnaire was administered 617 subjects assess how various...

Quality characteristics of coffee-like beverage from roasted date seeds (Phoenix dactylifera, L.) were determined and compared with those traditional Arabic coffee.The seed was found to have lower amount total phenolic compounds be a less powerful antioxidant than coffee.Phytochemical screening showed that extracts contained steroids, tannins, coumarins, while caffeine, terponoids, saponins, alkaloids, anthraquinones, anthocyanins not detected.The levels trace elements in the within ranges...

The environmental impact of dairy production is heavily influenced by milk farm efficiency, characteristics, and farming activities, such as feed management. existing research on the impacts differently managed systems often in contrast difficult to be compared. Thus, present study aimed assess used for same cheese comparing four different management choices, geographical area, herd size productivity. A Life Cycle Assessment was performed following Product Environmental Footprint methodology...
