ABSTRACT

The potential of MIRS was investigated to: i) differentiate cooked purees issued from different apples and process conditions, and ii) predict the puree quality characteristics from the spectra of homogenized raw apples. Partial least squares (PLS) regression was tested both, on the real spectra of cooked purees and their reconstructed spectra calculated from the spectra of homogenized raw apples by direct standardization. The cooked purees were well-classified according to apple thinning practices and cold storage durations, and to different heating and grinding conditions. PLS models using the spectra of homogenized raw apples can anticipate the titratable acidity (the residual predictive deviation (RPD) = 2.9), soluble solid content (RPD = 2.8), particle averaged size (RPD = 2.6) and viscosity (RPD ≥ 2.5) of cooked purees. MIR technique can provide sustainable evaluations of puree quality, and even forecast texture and taste of purees based on the prior information of raw materials.

ABSTRACT

Food packaging films were coated with polyvinyl acetate (PVA) containing different concentrations of citral or Litsea (L.) cubeba essential oil (EO). Antimicrobial contact trials in style of ISO22916 were performed. Citral coatings achieved bactericidal effects against Escherichia coli (2.1 log) and Staphylococcus aureus (4.3 log) at concentrations of 20%DM. L. cubeba inactivated more than 4 log cycles of both bacteria at a concentration of 20%DM. To determine the antimicrobial activity across the gas phase, a unique method for volatile agents was developed, adapting ISO22196. GC/MS measurements were performed to supplement microbiological tests in a model packaging system with a defined 220 ml headspace (HS). HS-equilibrium concentrations of 1.8 µg/mlAir were found for 20%DM 'citral-coatings, resulting in antimicrobial effects of 3.8 log against of E. coli. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (4.74 log) and Aspergillus niger (4.29 log) were more effectively inactivated by 3%DM and 5%DM coatings. In an application trial with strawberries, simulating a headspace packaging, growth inhibitory effects on the yeast and mold microbiota were found for the 20%DM coatings.

ABSTRACT

Following a structure/odor activity approach as previously published, the present study was focused on three aromatic thiols also identified as food odorants, namely 1-phenylethane-1-thiol, phenyl methanethiol, and 2-phenylethanethiol. Their structures were systematically modified to receive 16 new sulfur-containing benzene derivatives. A determination of odor thresholds indicated that none of its homologues elicited a lower odor threshold than 1-phenylethane-1-thiol, and an enantiospecific synthesis, elucidated that its ( S)-enantiomer turned out to be the compound with by far the lowest odor threshold of 0.00025 ng/L in air. Within the homologous series of the ω-phenylalkane-1-thiols as well as the 1-phenylalkane-1-thiols the threshold values increased constantly with an elongation of the side chain. Among the respective cyclohexane derivatives, the tendencies with respect to thresholds and odor properties were comparable. The odor thresholds and odor qualities of the aromatic thiols were quite similar to those of their heterocyclic analogues considered in a previous publication. In addition, spectroscopic data for 28 new sulfur-containing compounds were generated, which might be helpful in the identification of such sulfur containing odorants occurring in trace levels in foods.
