    Abstract The elderly people are prone to dysphagia due to weakened muscle strength. 3D food printing could modify the nutritional ratio and shape design to produce personalized nutritious food suitable for patients with dysphagia. White mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) is rich in a variety of active ingredients such as polysaccharides and polyphenols which are beneficial to human body, but its unique texture is not suitable for patients with dysphagia to chew. This study investigated the impact of different concentrations of soybean protein isolate (SPI, 3%, 5%, 7%, w/w) on 3D food printing of white mushroom powder and carried out the hierarchical representation of dysphagia diet within the framework of International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI). The results illustrated that SPI addition to white mushroom gel reduced water mobility and promoted hydrogen bond formation, which significantly improved the mechanical strength and cohesiveness of printing inks, including yield stress, viscosity and hardness. IDDSI tests showed that the SPI addition of 3% and 5% helped the printing ink pass the spoon tilt test and the fork drip test, which could be classified as level 5 minced and moist food under the consideration of the fork pressure test. The 3D printing results indicated that the 7% SPI addition made the yield stress too high and was not easy for extrusion, resulting in the appearance defects of the printed sample. The addition of 3% SPI could make the printed sample have smooth surface and excellent self-supporting capacity. This work provides insights of white mushroom 3D printing technology as a more visually appealing dysphagia diet.

    Abstract Background: Soy protein, peanut protein and wheat protein are commonly applied in plant-based products, but specific off-odor makes it difficult for consumers to accept, with 2-pentylfuran being one of the most representative flavors. In this study, 2-pentylfuran was employed as an example to explore the behavior and mechanism of the three proteins in absorbing off-odors.
    Results: Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis indicated that different plant proteins were able to adsorb 2-pentylfuran. Circular dichroism proved 2-pentylfuran could drive the α-helix to β-sheet transition of soy protein, which was not obvious in peanut protein or wheat protein. Ultraviolet spectroscopy tentatively determined that 2-pentylfuran caused changes in the tyrosine and tryptophan microenvironments of different plant proteins, which were further evidenced by synchronous fluorescence at fixed wavelength intervals of 15 nm and 60 nm. Static quenching of protein intrinsic fluorescence indicated that they formed a stable complex with 2-pentylfuran, except for wheat protein (dynamic quenching).
    Conclusion: The various conformations of the three proteins are the main reason for the difference in flavor retention of protein. Soy protein, peanut protein and wheat protein adsorbing 2-pentylfuran relies on non-covalent forces, especially hydrophobic interactions, maintained between the protein and 2-pentylfuran. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract During thermal processing of braised sauce beef, the lipid content of circularly used sauce increased accordingly because of lipid migration from beef to sauce, which may impact the bacterial heat resistance in the products. This study aims to characterize the heat resistance of Clostridium sporogenes spores in braised sauce beef, and investigate the effects of oil on the spore surface characteristics and microstructure. The results indicated that the heat resistance of C. sporogenes spores in beef was significantly higher than that in sauce. Oil addition remarkably enhanced the spore heat resistance in sauce, with D

    Abstract In this study, the antifatigue effect and mechanism of peanut sprouts were explored. BALB/c mice divided into three groups (control, dark and UV-C) were respectively supplemented with a normal diet, peanut sprouts (dark germination) added diet and stilbenes-enriched peanut sprouts (UV-C radiated germination) added diet. Results showed that swimming time and levels of blood glucose and antioxidant enzymes significantly increased, while contents of triglyceride and malondialdehyde notably decreased by peanut sprout supplementation. Besides, combined analysis of gut microbiota gene sequencing and targeted metabolomics of fecal metabolites revealed that peanut sprout supplementation up-regulated abundances and metabolic transformations of

    Abstract The effects of ascorbic acid treatment alone and in combination with degreasing or hydrothermal treatment on eating quality and in vitro digestibility of brown rice were explored for improving poor mouthfeel and low digestibility, and the improvement mechanism was investigated. The results indicated that the texture of cooked brown rice was significantly improved by degreasing combined with ascorbic acid hydrothermal treatment; the hardness and chewiness decreased to the level of polished rice; the stickiness increased three times of the cooked untreated brown rice; and the sensory score and in vitro digestibility were significantly enhanced from 68.20 and 61.37% to 83.70 and 79.53%, respectively. In addition, the relative crystallinity and water contact angle of treated brown rice were respectively reduced from 32.74% and 113.39° to 22.55% and 64.93°, and normal temperature water uptake significantly increased. Scanning electron microscope showed that the separation of starch granules occurred inside cooked brown rice grain obviously. The improvement of eating quality and in vitro digestibility of brown rice is conducive to enhancing the consumers acceptance and human health.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: The pasting properties of rice change markedly after aging, although the mechanism for this still remains unknown. Aged and fresh rice grains were ground and the flours were fractionated by particle size, and then the pasting properties, particle size distribution and microscopic morphology of the heated flour fractions were evaluated. RESULTS: Compared to the corresponding fresh flour fractions with the same particle size, a lower peak viscosity for those aged flour fractions from 80 μm to 450 μm and a higher peak viscosity for those aged flour fractions from 20 μm to 60 μm were observed. The amounts of smaller particles disaggregated from the aged flour fractions were significantly less and the separated entities were always larger than the corresponding fresh rice fractions. CONCLUSION: Disaggregation difficulty of starch granules was the reason for the changes in the pasting properties of rice after aging. This finding is helpful for understanding rice aging mechanisms and regulating eating quality of rice flour as an ingredient. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract In recent years, quinoa, as a nutritious and sustainable food material, has gained increasing popularity worldwide. To investigate the diversity of nutritional characteristics among different quinoa cultivars and explore their potential health benefits, metabolites of five quinoa cultivars (QL-1, SJ-1, SJ-2, KL-1 and KL-2) were compared by non-targeted metabolomics analysis based on UPLC-ZenoTOF-MS/MS in this study. A total of 248 metabolites across 13 categories were identified. Although the metabolite compositions were generally similar among the different quinoa cultivars, significant variations existed in their respective metabolite contents. Among the identified metabolites, amino acids/peptides, nucleosides, saponins and phenolic acids were the most abundant. Notably, SJ-1 exhibited the most distinct metabolite profile when compared to the other cultivars. Amino acids/peptides and nucleosides were found to be crucial factors contributing to the unique metabolite profile of SJ-1. Collectively, these aforementioned metabolites accounted for a substantial 60% of the total metabolites observed in each quinoa variety. Additionally, a correlation between the DPPH radical scavenging activity and the free phenolic content of quinoa was observed. Variations in phenolic content resulted in different antioxidant capacities among the quinoa cultivars, and SJ-1 exhibited lower phenolic levels and weaker antioxidant activity than the others. These results can provide important information for the development of quinoa resources.
