title: Effect of oil type and batter ingredients on the properties of deep-frying flakes

description: Abstract Deep-fried batter food products have recently gained popularity since they are both appetizing and palatable. However, deep-fried food contains high oil content, promoting increasing health concerns of consumers. Oil absorption reduction batter formulae and new types of cooking oil are showing improved customer demand. Coconut oil is gaining interest as a healthy food selection but information comparing coconut oil to palm oil for frying is limited. Effects of oil type and ingredients on the properties of deep-fried batter were investigated. Density of the fried flakes differed slightly between the samples. Flakes fried in coconut oil had lower density, higher oil absorption, and better texture than those fried in palm oil. Addition of whey protein and soluble fiber to the samples increased oil absorption with texture better than the control. Oil absorbed by fried flakes with added whey was greater than those with added fiber, and oil content increased as the amount of whey increased. Results showed that coconut oil was not a good frying medium since high oil content was absorbed into the food pieces. Addition of whey and fiber did not reduce oil uptake but modified the texture of the fried flakes.

title: Pseudomonas SP. in uninspected raw goat’s milk in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

description: Abstract Although quite controversial from the point of view of food safety, a considerable number of people across different age and socioeconomic groups consume raw goat’s milk. Even if refrigerated after milking, raw goat's milk may still be susceptible to the lipolytic and proteolytic actions of psychrotrophic microorganisms, such as Pseudomonas. In this study, Pseudomonas sp. from 21 refrigerated raw goat’s milk samples were characterized. All samples were freely commercialized, without any type of inspection, by small producers and markets from different regions of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A total of 136 isolates were identified, most of which belonged to the species, P. putida, P. koreensis, P. monteilii, and P. fluorescens. The production of protease and lipase varied according to the incubation temperature. We found that 91.4% of the Pseudomonas isolates were susceptible to all antibiotics tested. None of the isolates exhibited a multidrug-resistance phenotype. None of the raw goat’s milk samples contained detectable antibiotic residues, which may explain the very low frequency of resistant bacteria. Although Pseudomonas is not considered a typical food-related pathogen, its presence indicate that the determination of microbiological standards for raw goat's milk and greater control of the commercialization of this product, are necessary.

title: Selected minerals concentration and microbiological safety in non-carcass bovine components of “PANELADA” dish

description: Abstract “Panelada” is a typical dish from Brazil, made up of some bovine non-carcass components (intestine, rumen and ox feet), whose nutritional value and microbiological quality are not reported. The total contents of selected minerals were determined using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and electrothermal (ETAAS) for samples of raw, seasoned and Panelada dish. The content of metal nutrients found in raw sample was higher than for various types of conventional cuts and meats. The added seasoning increased of the content of metal nutrients comparing to from raw sample, except for Zn. Instead, the cooking process interferes negatively in the minerals content, in contrast to Mg concentration. The Panelada dish presented high nutritional value being found 3.3, 79, 334 and 75 mg kg-1 for Cu, Fe, Mg and Zn, respectively. The microbiological analyses revealed absence of Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes from Panelada dish.

title: Prediction of total phenolics, anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity of blackberry (Rubus sp.), blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) and jaboticaba (Plinia cauliflora (Mart.) Kausel) skin using colorimetric parameters

description: Abstract The food industry should have methods that allow identifying bioactive compounds quickly, efficiently and at low cost. The objective of this research was to obtain mathematical models for predicting the amount of total phenolics, anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity of blackberry, blueberry and jaboticaba skin, based on colorimetric parameters (L*, a*, b*, C* and h*). All analyses were done in the phenolic extracts obtained from these fruits. The mathematical models were obtained through multiple linear regression using the stepwise method. The significant correlation between the colorimetric parameters and chemical analyses resulted in models with a high predictive ability (high r2), such as in the determination of the contents of anthocyanins (r2 = 0.99), total phenolics (r2 = 0.86) and for the antioxidant capacity (r2 = 0.99). Thus, the prediction of levels of these bioactives compound, using colorimetric parameters, is very promising for cost and time savings.

title: miRNA-1180 suppresses HCC cell activities via TRAF1/NF-κB signaling pathway

description: Abstract The miRNA-1180 anti-cancer effects in hepatocellular carcinoma cell were studied. 33 hepatocellular carcinoma patients were collected. In cancer and adjacent normal tissue from patients, TRAF1 protein and miR-1180 expression was determined by HE staining, IHC and RT-PCR methods. In the cell experiments, HepG2 cells were divided into three groups: NC group, BL group and miRNA group. The cells of NC group were un-treated; BL group were transfected with empty camer; miRNA group were transfixed with miRNA-1180. We determinates cell proliferation rate of difference groups, measuring the cell apoptosis rate and cell cycle of difference groups by flow cytometry, detected cell invasion and migration abilities of difference groups by transwell and wound healing assay and evaluating relative proteins expressions by WB assay. Compared with Normal liver tissue, cell infiltrations were significantly increased. miR-1180 was negative correlation with TRAF. The cell proliferation rate of miRNA group was significantly lower than that of NC group; The cell apoptosis and G1 phase rates were significantly difference among three groups; however, P53 and P21 protein expressions were significantly increased in miRNA groups. Over-expression miRNA-1180 had effect to inhibit HepG2 cell proliferation, invasion, migration and improve HepG2 cell apoptosis by regulation TRAF1/NF-κB signaling pathway.

title: In vitro anticancer and antioxidant potential of Amaranthus cruentus protein and its hydrolysates

description: Abstract New insights on the use of peptides as therapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer have emerged with reports showing anti-tumour activity of peptides, predominantly derived from animals or microorganisms. Amaranth is a pseudocereal traditionally acknowledged to possess pharmacotherapeutic properties. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the in vitro anti-cancer effect of amaranth protein hydrolysates (alcalase, trypsin, and pepsin). Protein hydrolysates were tested for their antioxidant activity together with the anticancer and apoptotic potential. Antioxidants results revealed hydrolysates to have a greater antioxidant effect than un-hydrolysed protein, with results exceeding that of controls. The MTT cytotoxicity assay conducted on MCF-7, A549 and HEK 293 cell lines showed the trypsin hydrolysate to exhibit a preeminent anti-cancer effect. Annexin V-FITC flow cytometry showed an increased number of early apoptotic and late necrotic cells compared to untreated cells, further validated by caspase 3/7 activity. These assays confirmed the induction of apoptosis of the trypsin hydrolysate thereby demonstrating that the hydrolysate can be used as a potential therapeutic against selected cancers.

title: Determining the opinions and expectations of the local farmers about the potential impacts of kocaeli kandira food specialized Organized Industrial Zone, Turkey

description: Abstract This research analyzed the potential impacts of the establishment of Food Specialized Organized Industrial Zones on the region and its neighborhood. The villages of Kocakaymaz and Goncaaydin in Kandıra district of Kocaeli province were included in the research, and the data obtained from 131 farmers through survey was used. In line with the data, the farmers were grouped as the farmers whose land in Kandira Food Specialized Organized Industrial Zone (FSOIZ) was expropriated (directly affected) and the farmers whose land in Kandira FSOIZ was not expropriated (indirectly affected), and then they were evaluated. For this purpose, both the socio-economic characteristics of the farmers included in the research and their opinions and expectations about the probable impacts of the establishment of Kandira FSOIZ on farmers’ income, product pattern, raw material procurement, product marketing, employment and neighborhood were presented. The obtained results showed that, of the farmers, 71.76% were planning to engage in livestock production to meet the raw material needs of the FSOIZ and 90.07% desired their family members to work in Kandira FSOIZ (desirable and very desirable), which may prevent the young population in the establishments from leaving their village and have a positive impact on agricultural employment.

title: Total phenolic acids and flavonoid contents determination in Yemeni honey of various floral sources: Folin-Ciocalteu and spectrophotometric approach

description: Abstract Twenty-nine Yemeni honey samples were analyzed to determine total phenolic and flavonoid contents using Folin-Ciocalteu and spectrophotometric technique. These tested honey samples were collected from different regions corresponding to various floral species: jujube, cactus and multifloral plants. Folin-Ciocalteu method was adopted for the analysis of total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Gallic acid and quercetin were considered as the best standards as the spectrophotometric response of these compounds are equivalent to most other phenolic acids and flavonoid compounds, respectively. The obtained results of honey samples were in a wide range; the highest phenolic acid concentration was obtained for honey produced from cactus, while the lowest value corresponded to monofloral honey from jujube. On the other hand, a broad variation was also observed in total flavonoid content; the highest value was obtained for honey collected from cactus area (S4) and the lowest value was found in honey produced from multifloral plants (A1).

title: Consumer perception of Petit-Suisse cheese: identifying market opportunities for the Brazilian dairy industry

description: Abstract The dairy market is hugely competitive, with dairy industries always looking for new products to reach the consumer. Projective techniques, such as the Completion task, are great allies in this process, as they identify consumer needs and expectations, which helps in developing brand new, more competitive products. Petit-Suisse cheese is a product which is well established in the Brazilian dairy market; however, its consumption is restricted to children and has few sales variations. The objective of the present work was to investigate the consumers’ perception about Petit-Suisse and to identify possibilities of market expansion for this product category, through the technique of Completion task. According to the participants, Petit-Suisse is a widely accepted product, and its recognition was strongly related to the brand. Besides, although considered a product intended primarily for children, as a snack option, there is a substantial market possibility for the consumption of this product by other groups. Completion task made it possible to identify that there are different aspects of Petit-Suisse cheese, like flavor, composition and functional appeal that can still be explored by the dairy industry in making more competitive products on the market.
