RESUMO

Browning and other undesirable effects on Agaricus bisporus (A. bisporus) during storage seriously affect its commercial value. In this study, a strain, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NML21, that resists browning and delays the deterioration of A. bisporus was screened among 72 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and its preservative effect was analyzed. The results demonstrated that gallic acid, catechin, and protocatechuic acid promoted the growth of NML21, and the strain conversion rates of gallic acid and protocatechuic acid reached 97.16% and 95.85%, respectively. During a 15 d storage of the samples, the NML21 treatment displayed a reduction in the browning index (58.4), weight loss (2.64%), respiration rate (325.45 mg kg-1 h-1), and firmness (0.65 N). The treatment further inhibited Pseudomonas spp. growth and polyphenol oxidase activity, improved the antioxidant capacity, reduced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and reduced the malonaldehyde content and cell membrane conductivity. Taken together, the optimized concentrations of NML21 may extend the shelf life of A. bisporus for 3-6 d and could be a useful technique for preserving fresh produce.

RESUMO

Flavor is a crucial parameter for assessing the sensory quality of yak milk. However, there is limited information regarding the factors influencing its taste. In this study, the effects of endogenous lipoprotein lipase (LPL) on the volatile flavor components of yak milk under storage conditions of 4 °C, 18 °C and 65 °C were analyzed via headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) combined with orthogonal partial least-squares (OPSL) discrimination, and the reasons for the changes in yak milk flavors were investigated. Combined with the difference in the changes in volatile flavor substance before and after the action of LPL, LPL was found to have a significant effect on the flavor of fresh yak milk. Fresh milk was best kept at 4 °C for 24 h and pasteurized for more than 24 h. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were employed to characterize the volatile components in yak milk under various treatment conditions. Twelve substances with significant influence on yak milk flavor were identified by measuring their VIP values. Notably, 2-nonanone, heptanal, and ethyl caprylate exhibited OAV values greater than 1, indicating their significant contribution to the flavor of yak milk. Conversely, 4-octanone and 2-heptanone displayed OAV values between 0.1 and 1, showing their important role in modifying the flavor of yak milk. These findings can serve as monitoring indicators for assessing the freshness of yak milk.

RESUMO

Purpose: This review aims to examine the potential of oleogels as a frying medium to decrease oil absorption during deep-frying and enhance the nutritional and energy content of foods. By investigating the factors influencing oil incorporation during deep-frying and examining the application of oleogels in this process, we seek to provide insights into using oleogels as an alternative to traditional cooking oils. Scope: Deep-frying, a widely used cooking method, leads to the retention of large amounts of oil in fried food, which has been associated with health concerns. To address this issue, researchers have investigated various methods to minimize oil absorption during frying. One promising approach is the use of oleogels, which are thermo-reversible, three-dimensional gel networks formed by entrapment of bulk oil with a low concentration (<10% of weight) of solid lipid materials known as oleogelators. This review will focus on the following aspects: a) an overview of deep-fried foods, b) factors influencing oil uptake and underlying mechanisms for oil absorption during deep-frying, c) the characterization and application of different frying oils and their oleogels in deep-fried foods, d) components of the oleogel system for deep-frying, and e) the health impact, oxidative stability, and sensory acceptability of using oleogels in deep-frying. Key findings: The review highlights the potential of oleogels as a promising alternative frying medium to reduce fat absorption in deep-fried foods. Considering the factors influencing oil uptake during deep-frying, as well as exploring the properties and applications of different frying oils and their oleogels, can result in improved product qualities and heightened consumer acceptance. Moreover, oleogels offer the advantage of lower fat content in fried products, addressing health concerns associated with traditional deep-frying methods. The capacity to enhance the nutritional and energy profile of foods while preserving sensory qualities and oxidative stability positions oleogels as a promising choice for upcoming food processing applications.

RESUMO

Chitooligosaccharide (COS) is a low molecular weight product of chitosan degradation. Although COS induces plant resistance by activating phenylpropanoid metabolism, there are few reports on whether COS accelerates wound healing in potato tubers by promoting the deposition of phenolic acids and lignin monomers at wounds. The results showed that COS activated phenylalanine ammonialyase and cinnamate 4-hydroxylase and promoted the synthesis of cinnamic, caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic acids, total phenolics and flavonoids. COS activated 4-coumaric acid coenzyme A ligase and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase and promoted the synthesis of sinapyl, coniferyl and cinnamyl alcohols. COS also increased H2O2 levels and peroxidase activity and accelerated the deposition of suberin polyphenols and lignin on wounds. In addition, COS reduced weight loss and inhibited lesion expansion in tubers inoculated with Fusarium sulfureum. Taken together, COS accelerated wound healing in potato tubers by inducing phenylpropanoid metabolism and accelerating the deposition of suberin polyphenols and lignin at wounds.

RESUMO

Both chitosan (CTS) and chitooligosaccharide (COS) can promote fruit healing. However, whether the two chemicals regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis during wound healing of pear fruit remains unknown. In this study, the wounded pear fruit (Pyrus bretschneideri cv. Dongguo) was treated with a 1 g L-1 CTS and COS. We found CTS and COS treatments increased NADPH oxidase and superoxide dismutase activities, and promoted O2.- and H2O2 production at wounds. CTS and COS also enhanced the activities of catalase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase, and glutathione reductase, and elevated the levels of ascorbic acid and glutathione. In addition, the two chemicals improved antioxidant capacity in vitro and maintained cell membrane integrity at fruit wounds during healing. Taken together, CTS and COS can regulate ROS homeostasis at wounds of pear fruit during healing by scavenging excessive H2O2 and improving antioxidant capacity. Overall, the COS demonstrated superior performance over the CTS.

RESUMO

Lignin is a crucial component in the wound tissue of tubers. The biocontrol yeast Meyerozyma guilliermondii increased the activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase, cinnamate-4-hydroxylase, 4-coenzyme coenzyme A ligase, and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase, and elevated the levels of coniferyl, sinapyl, and p-coumaryl alcohol. The yeast also enhanced the activities of peroxidase and laccase, as well as the content of hydrogen peroxide. The lignin promoted by the yeast was identified as guaiacyl-syringyl-p-hydroxyphenyl type using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance. Furthermore, a larger signal area for G2, G5, G'6, S2, 6, and S'2, 6 units was observed in the treated tubers, and the G'2 and G6 units were only detected in the treated tuber. Taken together, M. guilliermondii could promote deposition of guaiacyl-syringyl-p-hydroxyphenyl type lignin by activating the biosynthesis and polymerization of monolignols at the wounds of potato tubers.

RESUMO

This study aimed to compare the effects of chitosan (CTS) and chitooligosaccharide (COS) treatments on wound healing of pear fruits and to investigate the related mechanisms during postharvest storage under ambient conditions. The results revealed that CTS and COS treatments reduced the weight loss and disease index of the wounded pears (Pyrus bretschneideri cv. Dongguo), and accelerated suberin polyphenolic and lignin deposition at wounds during 7 d of investigation. Furthermore, CTS and COS elevated the level of the genes expression and activities of key enzymes and increased product contents of phenylpropanoid metabolism. Collectively, these treatments at a concentration of 1 g/L could promote wound healing in pears by activating phenylpropanoid metabolism. Comparatively, COS treatment presented better effects to CTS and could be useful as a preservative method to enhance storability of fresh produce.
