    Abstract Seven varieties of Chinese dwarf cherries were evaluated and compared with respect to their weight, diameter, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, color, polyphenol contents, ascorbic acid levels, anthocyanin profiles, enzymatic activity, and antioxidant capacity. The fruits are rich in phenolic content (339.07–770.30 mg/100 g fresh weight). Nine anthocyanins were obtained from fruits after chromatographic separation and their structures analyzed using HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Cyanidin-3-glucoside was the major anthocyanin with 50.36–78.39% concentration. Three anthocyanins were reported for the first time in these cherries. They exhibit low polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities, but their superoxide dismutase activity is high (572.75–800.17 U/g FW). The highest amounts of soluble solid content (15.67 Brix %), total titratable acid (1.90%), ascorbic acid (18.47 mg/100 g FW), and total anthocyanin (152.66 mg/100 g FW) were observed. Three methods (DPPH-scavenging ability, oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay, and cellular antioxidant activity assay) were employed to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of the phenolic extracts of these cherries. Number 5 has the highest values of ORAC and CAA of 205.68 μmol TE/g DM and 99.67 μmol QE/100 g FW, respectively.

    Abstract [Objective] To enrich the variety of Chinese chestnut products, promote the transformation of Chinese chestnut raw materials and increase added value, we developed a Chinese chestnut stuffing method and optimized the compounding process in order to provide a reference for the industrial development of Chinese chestnut stuffing. [Method] The degree of Chinese chestnut ripening, Chinese chestnut particle size, job’s tear dosage, red bean dosage and date paste dosage were optimized through single-factor experiments; then orthogonal experiments were conducted for the dosage of job’s tear, red bean and date paste. The Box-Behnken experimental results were then analyzed by response surface method. [Results] Firstly, it was determined that when the Chinese chestnut was steamed to the fifth to seventh degree of ripeness and crushed to 4-6 mesh size, the optimal amount of job’s tear was 10 g/25 g chestnut, red bean 10 g/25 g chestnut, and red date paste was 6 g/25 g chestnut. The results of the orthogonal experiment showed that the compounding effect was better with the barley dosage of 9 g/25 g chestnut, red bean 10 g/25 g chestnut and red date paste 7 g/25 g chestnut. Response surface analysis yielded the regression equation Y (sensory score) = 8.2-0.27χ1 -0.059χ2 +0.26χ3 -0.22χ1 χ2 +0.062χ1 χ3 -0.46χ2 χ3 -0.81χ12 -0.41χ22 - 0.32χ32. The model had a low coefficient of variation (CV= 0.023), indicating that the equations fit well with high confidence. [Conclusion] A better quality Chinese chestnut filling could be obtained by compounding diced chestnuts of five to seven minutes steam ripening and crushed in 4-6 mesh with job’s tear, red beans and date paste in the ratio of 8.96 g/25 g, 9.77 g/25 g 7.37 g/25 g respectively. The error between the theoretical value (8.32 points) and the experimental value (8.28 points) was small (0.48%), indicating the optimized parameters are accurate and have practical value.

    Abstract Concerns about fossil fuel depletion and the environmental effects of greenhouse gas emissions have led to widespread fermentation-based production of bioethanol from corn starch or sugarcane. However, competition for arable land with food production has led to the extensive investigation of lignocellulosic sources and waste products of the food industry as alternative sources of fermentable sugars. In particular, whey, a lactose-rich, inexpensive byproduct of dairy production, is available in stable, high quantities worldwide. This review summarizes strategies and specific factors essential for efficient lactose/whey fermentation to ethanol. In particular, we cover the most commonly used strains and approaches for developing high-performance strains that tolerate fermentation conditions. The relevant genes and regulatory systems controlling lactose utilization and sources of new genes are also discussed in detail. Moreover, this review covers the optimal conditions, various feedstocks that can be coupled with whey substrates, and enzyme supplements for increasing efficiency and yield. In addition to the historical advances in bioethanol production from whey, this review explores the future of yeast-based fermentation of lactose or whey products for beverage or fuel ethanol as a fertile research area for advanced, environmentally friendly uses of industrial waste products.

    Abstract Polyphenol-starch complexes exhibit synergistic and beneficial effects on both polyphenols and resistant starches. This study evaluates the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of α-amylase on a Lonicera caerulea berry polyphenol-wheat starch (LPWS) complex following high hydrostatic pressure treatments of 400 MPa for 30 min and 600 MPa for 30 min. The IC50 values for α-amylase inhibition by the complex were 3.61 ± 0.10 mg/mL and 3.42 ± 0.08 mg/mL at a 10 % (w/w) polyphenol content. This interaction was further supported by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism, which confirmed that the alpha helix component of the secondary structure of α-amylase was reduced due to the complex. Multifluorescence spectroscopy revealed that the complex induces changes in the microenvironment of fluorophores surrounding the α-amylase active site. Molecular dynamics simulations and molecular docking revealed that the active site of amylose within the complex becomes enveloped in polyphenol clusters. This wrapping effect reduced the hydrogen bonds between amylose and α-amylase, decreasing from 16 groups to just one group. In summary, the LPWS complex represents a low-digestible carbohydrate food source, thus laying the groundwork for the research and development of functional foods aimed at postprandial hypoglycemic effects.

    Abstract Chestnut is popular worldwide for its unique flavor, high eating quality and nutrition. Here, we evaluated the influence of phosphorylation and acetylation on the structural, physicochemical and functional properties of chestnut starch. Scanning electron micrographs showed the agglomeration of starch granules and the appearance of numerous dents on the starch granule surface under phosphorylation and acetylation. X-ray diffractograms confirmed that the modification treatments did not affect the C-type crystal pattern, but reduced the relative crystallinity of the chestnut starch, particularly phosphorylation. Moreover, modification improved the paste transparency of the starch. Differential scanning calorimeter analysis revealed that the gelatinization temperature and enthalpy of the starch decreased with the increasing substitution degree, particularly in phosphorylated starch. The Rapid Visco Analyser analysis demonstrated that phosphorylation could greatly improve the pasting properties of chestnut starch. In addition, phosphorylated and acetylated starch had a smaller amount of slowly digested starch and a larger amount of resistant starch relative to native chestnut starch. In conclusion, the functional and physicochemical properties of chestnut starch can be significantly improved through phosphorylation and acetylation, demonstrating its great application potential as a food additive.

    Abstract Chinese sweet rice wines (CSRW) are traditional, regionally distinct alcoholic beverages that are generally brewed with glutinous rice and fermentation starters. This study aimed to characterize microbial communities and volatile compounds of CSRW starters and explore correlations between them. The major volatiles in starters include 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, 2-nonanol, phenylethyl alcohol, 2-nonanone, acetophenone, and benzaldehyde. Microbiological analysis based on high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology demonstrated that starter bacterial communities are dominated by Weissella, Pediococcus, and Lactobacillus, while Saccharomycopsis and Rhizopus predominate in fungal communities. Carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism are the most active metabolic pathways in starters. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that 15 important volatile compounds including alcohols, acids, aldehydes and esters were significantly positively correlated with nine microbial genera (|r| > 0.7, p < 0.05), including five bacterial genera (i.e., Weissella, Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, Bacillus, and Nocardiopsis) and four fungal genera (i.e., Saccharomycopsis, Rhizopus, Wickerhamomyces, and Cyberlindnera), spanning 19 distinct relationships and these microorganisms were considered the core functional microorganisms in CSRW starters. The most important positive correlations detected between phenylethyl alcohol and Weissella or Saccharomycopsis and between 2-nonanol and Pediococcus. This study can serve as a reference to guide the development of defined starter cultures for improving the aromatic quality of CSRW.

    Abstract Hawthorn polyphenols (HP) have various physiological functions; however, they are unstable in nature and are easily degraded by environmental changes. In this study, hawthorn polyphenol-chitosan nanoparticles (HPN) were prepared using dynamic ultra-high-pressure microfluidization (DHPM) and ion gelation methods, and their stability, in vitro sustained-release performance, antibacterial performance, intestinal bacterial fermentation characteristics, and cellular antioxidant properties were investigated. HP was successfully loaded into chitosan nanoparticles, with an average particle size of 301.12 nm. HPN exhibited higher thermal stability than unembedded HP. Molecular self-assembly dynamics simulations demonstrated the stability of HPN through electrostatic, van der Waals force, and hydrogen bond interactions. Intestinal fermentation studies revealed that acetic, propionic, and butyric acids were the main free fatty acids in the intestine and that their contents increased with increasing fermentation time (p < 0.05). Additionally, HPN exhibited strong antibacterial properties, and its antibacterial effect was greater against Gram-positive bacteria (Listeria innocua) than Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). The cytotoxicity assay showed that HPN prepared using DHPM and ion gelation has high biological safety. Cell antioxidant assays showed that HPN effectively ameliorated oxidative stress induced by H₂O₂. Overall, the prepared HPN has potential applications in the development of new multifunctional food ingredients and realizing functional factor homeostasis.

    Abstract Chinese chestnut shell is a by-product of chestnut food processing and is rich in polyphenols. This study sought to investigate the effect of chestnut shell polyphenol extract (CSP) on weight loss and lipid reduction in a 12-week high-fat diet (HFD)-induced murine obesity model. CSP (300 mg per kg body weight) was administered intragastrically daily. AG490, a JAK2 protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was also intraperitoneally injected. The results showed that an HFD induced leptin resistance (LR). Compared to corresponding values in the HFD group, CSP treatment improved blood lipid levels, weight, and leptin levels in obese mice (
