title: Determination of probiotic characteristics and resistance to biological barriers under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions in goat cheese produced using microencapsulated probiotic bacteria

description: Abstract The method of microencapsulation has been performed on the probiotic microorganisms (Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium longum), which are used in conjunction with the starter cultures in white cheese production from goat‘s milk. For this purpose, 3 types of microcapsules, namely, one containing the probiotic bacteria and another symbiotic microcapsule containing the probiotic bacteria and fructooligosaccharides have been obtained in the study and the cheese containing these microcapsules were produced. The cheese samples have been stored at +40C for 180 days and during storage, loss in viabiality that might be consisted at in-vitro conditions at gastrointestinal system is analyzed. The present study revealed that probiotic bacteria at different bile concentrations gained resistance during maturation, and the rate of resistance was higher in prebiotic and protein-supported microencapsulated probiotic bacteria. The resistance of lactic acid bacteria used in cheese production to gastric secretions was lower than that of probiotic bacteria. The determination of hydrophobicity of bacteria revealed that Bifidobacterium longum had the highest hydrophobicity level followed by Lactococcus, which forms the cheese culture, while Lactobacillus paracasei had the lowest level. It was determined that the microencapsulation method reduced the viability losses of probiotic microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract.

title: Association of snps of aif-1 gene with susceptibility to oral cancer in chinese population

description: Abstract To investigate the association between allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1) gene polymorphism and susceptibility to oral cancer in Chinese population. A case-control study was conducted to collect 400 cases of newly diagnosed oral cancer patients diagnosed by pathology from January 2015 to June 2019 and 400 cases of physical examination in the same period. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the AIF-1 gene were detected using TaqMan probe technology. Unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the association between AIF-1 gene polymorphism and oral cancer susceptibility. GG genotypes reduced the risk of oral cancer in co-dominant models (OR = 0.499, 95% CI: 0.328-0.760, P = 0.001) and recessive models (OR = 0.496, 95% CI: 0.342-0.729, P &lt; 0.001). There was no significant difference between the case group and the control group in the dominant model genotype (OR = 0.836, 95% CI: 0.623~1.121, P = 0.836). Conclusion AIF-1 gene rs2857595 gene SNPs can reduce the risk of oral cancer.

title: Influence of microwave vacuum drying on the effective moisture diffusivity of seedless white grapes

description: Abstract In this study, the effects of microwave power, vacuum degree and load weight on the moisture content of seedless white grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) during microwave vacuum drying were investigated. The result found that during microwave vacuum drying, the effective moisture diffusivity (Deff) of seedless white grapes ranged between 1.0232 × 10−9 and 4.6354 × 10−9 m2/s. The Deff values increased with the increase in the microwave power and the decrease in the load weight, the vacuum degree played a relatively minor role. The kinetics of moisture ratio and drying time were established, with the drying process following the Page model, as reflected by the fitting between model-predicted and measured data. The Page model was demonstrated to precisely describe and predict the moisture content variation in seedless white grapes during microwave vacuum drying.

title: Phytochemical composition and antioxidant potential of different varieties viz. Flor Branca, Costa Rica and Junco of green unripe acerola (Malphigia emarginata D.C.) fruits

description: Abstract Malpighia emarginata D.C is an important crop of Brazil and significant source of antioxidant active compounds with notable health effects. The purpose of this work was to study three varieties of acerola (Malpighia emarginata D.C) at green unripe stage of maturity from the São Francisco Valley of Northeast Brazil. The fruits were evaluated for physico-chemical composition, bioactive compounds, through spectrophotometric analysis and liquid chromatography, as well as the profile of macro and micro minerals and antioxidant capacity. The fruits presented satisfactory results in physico-chemical quality parameters. HPLC-DAD phenolic profile analysis identified kaempferol-3-glucoside (32.68 mg/100 g), p-coumaric acid (28.87 mg/100 g) and isorhamnetin (11.41 mg/100 g) as the major compounds, mainly in the variety of Flor Branca (FB). The results obtained from the profiles of sugars and organic acids were similar among the varieties. The minerals were excellent sources of the elements of K, Ca, Mg and Mn. Moreover, FB variety represents higher antioxidant capacity in ABTS·+ (8613.54 μM Trolox/g) and ORAC (2454.42 μM Trolox/g). Thus, the results show the potential to be applied for variety selection and utilization programs based on their specific nutritive characters, contributing to the development of new products.

title: Preparation of high fischer ratio oligopeptide of chlorella powder using specific enzymatic hydrolysis

description: Abstract Enzymatic hydrolysis of chlorella powder is a promising process to prepare high Fischer ratio oligopeptides (HFOPs). However, the relationship between Fischer ratios and enzymatic hydrolysis approaches remains poorly understood. In HFOPs production, directed enzymatic hydrolysis to release aromatic amino acids may be an effective way to increase Fischer ratio. The mutant carboxypeptidase from Aspergillus niger M00988 (cpAR), which has good specificity for hydrophobic amino acids in terminal peptidolysis, and commonly used papain and flavourzyme have been used to prepare HFOPs in this study. cpAR enzyme, flavourzyme The results show that the use of cpAR enzyme can increase the Fischer ratio. With chlorella powder as the raw material, alkaline protease and cpAR enzyme were used for two-step hydrolysis, and then activated carbon adsorption and ultrafiltration were used to prepare HFOPs. The Fischer ratio of oligopeptides reached 37.39, the length of the peptide chain was mainly distributed around 7-9 amino acids.

title: Sugar derived from genetically modified sugarcane

description: Abstract Sugar is an ancient food and currently one of the most used ingredients in human nutrition and in the food industry. In tropical regions, sugar is produced mainly from sugarcane, while temperate countries produce sugar preferably from sugar beets. Due to its widespread use, the forthcoming adoption of genetically modified (GM) sugarcane varieties may raise questions about the quality and classification of the sugar produced. Here, we describe the several varieties of sugar and their specific uses and legal classifications. Regardless of whether they are produced from beet or from sugarcane and their final use, sugar consists of highly purified substances composed almost entirely from a disaccharide (sucrose) whose molecules consist of two monosaccharide residues: glucose and fructose. The differences between commercial sugar types are primarily in sucrose content (&gt; 99.00 to 99.80 °Z), moisture content, ICUMSA color, conductivity ashes and reducing sugar. Neither DNA nor proteins can be detected at relevant levels in the different types of sugar. Therefore, sugar from genetically modified sugarcane varieties is virtually identical to sugar produced from conventional sugarcane, and the adoption of GM sugarcane varieties should not cause any change to the current use of sugar in human nutrition and in the food industry.

title: Candida tropicalis sp. Nov., a novel, zinc-enriched yeast species found in China

description: Abstract Zinc is one of the most important trace elements and deficiency can lead to significant clinical complications. Microbial transformation is one of the most important methods used to supplement organic zinc and there may be some naturally occurring microorganisms that have both higher zinc tolerances and transformation capabilities. In this study, microorganisms which displayed such characteristics were widely screened, and a strain designated T-A was found. Morphological and molecular determination demonstrated that T-A is closely related to Candida tropicalis with 87% of 18S rDNA homology, with a G+C content measured by RP-HPLC of 88.42%. Candida tropicalis sp. T-A strains were shown to grow and transform zinc best at pH5 in medium with a zinc ion concentration of 8000 μg/mL at 28 °C for 121 hours. Our results showed C. tropicalis sp. T-A’s zinc content was 19.153 mg/g dry weight, with a relative bioavailability in rats of 173% when compared with traditional zinc supplements. Our study suggests that C. tropicalis sp. T-A could be exploited for use as a potential zinc supplement.

title: Physical-chemical and microbiological quality of milk and cheese of goats fed with bidestilated glycerin

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of replacing corn with bidistilled glycerin from the biodiesel industry on the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory quality of milk and goat cheese. Twelve Saanen multiparous goats weighing 40 ± 6 kg and 30 ± 5 days of lactation were used. The physicochemical parameters analyzed were: fat (%), non-fat solids (%), protein (%), lactose (%), salts (%), relative density at 15/15 °C (gmL-1), index cryoscopic (°C), electrical conductivity (mScm-1), pH and acidity. The milk from each treatment was used to make the rennet cheese. The physicochemical variables: pH, lipids, ESD, and cheese yield had a significant effect (P &lt; 0.05) for the increasing use of bidistilled glycerin in the goat feeding. The pH, acidity, EST, ESD, and yield variables presented linear regressive effect and lipids quadratic regressive effect. The softness sensory attribute had a significant effect (P &lt; 0.05) for the increasing levels of bidistilled glycerin in the goat diet; the softness decreased as the glycerin level increased. Bi-distilled glycerin, when inserted in the diets of dairy goats at increasing levels, promotes a reduction in the lipid content of milk, consequently affecting the cheese yield and the sensory softness parameter.

title: Gluten-free cookies from sorghum and Turkish beans; effect of some non-conventional and commercial hydrocolloids on their technological and sensory attributes

description: Abstract Consumption of gluten-free products is the best possible option for patients with celiac disease. The development of gluten-free cookies may provide a suitable alternative for individuals who are gluten-intolerant. The purpose of this research was to assess the use of hydrocolloids as gluten substitutes in cookies. Commercially available (gum Arabic and xanthan gum) and freshly extracted (cress seed, fenugreek, flaxseed, okra) hydrocolloids were added at a substitution level of 5% in gluten-free flour prepared from sorghum and Turkish beans. Pasting temperature of flour blends decreased significantly as a function of the type of hydrocolloid, except for gum Arabic, whereas the inclusion of gum resulted in an increase in water activity, moisture, ash, and fiber content of cookies. The hardness of cookies was higher in the presence of gum, while lightness and diameter were reduced with gum addition. Okra- and gum Arabic-substituted cookies had similar sensory acceptability as the control, and the presence of cress seed gum resulted in higher antioxidant activity. The cookies produced were acceptable from the technological and sensory standpoint and this may help the baking industry to provide gluten-free options for consumers who cannot tolerate gluten.

title: Optimization of hot-air drying conditions on functional properties of flour from dried South African sweet potato cultivars (Impilo and Bophelo) using the response surface methodology

description: Abstract The response surface method (RSM) has an important application in formulation of new products. This study determined the effect of electric hot-air drying on the functional properties of flour made from orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP). Flour from the cultivars Bophelo (B) and Impilo (IM) were treated with 13 temperature-time combinations designed by STAT EASE software version 8.01.0. Bophelo flour dried at 70 °C for 8.6 hrs and Impilo at 70 °C for 14.4 hrs showed the lowest gelatinization temperatures and enthalpy of gelatinization (ΔH), indicating ease of cooking. The highest swelling power of 12.45 g/g for Bophelo and 8.16 g/g for Impilo were significantly higher than the remaining samples. Flours for Bophelo and Impilo at drying temperatures and times at 70 °C for 4.4 hrs, 56 °C for 6.5 hrs and 60 °C for 6.5 hrs indicated favourable gelling properties and cost of drying, implying that these can be used at household level and in food industries as thickeners from both cultivars.
