The food and drink manufacturing industry is constantly seeking for alternative sanitation and disinfection systems that may achieve the same antimicrobial efficiency of conventional chemical sanitisers and at the same time be convenient in terms of energy and water savings. A candidate technology for this purpose is the use of light in combination with photosensitisers (PS) to generate a bioactive effect against microbial agents in a process defined as photodynamic inactivation (PDI). This technology can be applied to the food processing of different food matrices to reduce the microbial load of foodborne pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. Also, the PDI can be exploited to increase the shelf-life period of food by inactivation of spoiling microbes. This review analyses new developments in the last five years for PDI systems applied to the food decontamination from foodborne pathogens. The photosensitisation mechanisms and methods are reported to introduce the applied technology against microbial targets in food matrices. Recent blue light emitting diodes (LED) lamp systems for the PDI mediated by endogenous PS are discussed as well PDI technologies with the use of exogenous PS from plant sources such as curcumin and porphyrin-based molecules. The updated overview of the most recent developments in the PDI technology both in wavelengths and employed PS will provide further points of analysis for the advancement of the research on new competitive and effective disinfection systems in the food industry.The extraction conditions of kidney bean water-soluble polysaccharides (SKPSs) from kidney bean fibers were examined. The factors such as temperature, pH, and time were combined to derive the conditions for obtaining high yields of high molecular mass polysaccharides. The optimal extraction temperature, time, and pH were 120 °C, 30 min, and 9, respectively. Under these conditions, the yield of SKPS (SKPS9) obtained was as high as 26.4%. The weight average molecular mass of SKPS9 measured using size exclusion chromatography equipped with a multi-angle laser light scattering detector was 2,530 kg/mole. The main constituent sugars of SKPS9 were arabinose (67.2%) and galacturonic acid (15.6%). SKPS9 carbohydrate molecules observed using a scanning probe microscope showed the mixed structures of a multi-branched structure, whose sugar chains extended outward from the center to the periphery of the molecule, and a little-branched straight chain structure. SKPS9 had protein dispersing and stabilizing properties under acidic conditions. In the acidified milk system containing 3% non-fat milk solids, 0.4% SKPS9 was able to maintain a mono-modal distribution of fine protein particles in pH level ranging from 3.8 to 4.4. This work suggests the potential for the creation of a value added ingredient from kidney bean.Reducing oil/fat content without compromising the structural and sensory quality of food is a great technical challenge to the food industry. The present work aims to investigate the possibility of a novel emulsion design that gives an enhanced oral release of oil/fat from an emulsion gel and therefore an enhanced mouthfeel of oiliness. Hence, alpha-amylase sensitive emulsifier such as starch was used for this purpose. On the other hand, whey protein isolate (WPI) i.e. α-amylase insensitive emulsifier was used as a reference. The gellan gum was selected as a gelling agent to prepare emulsion gels. The mastication and size reduction of the emulsion gels were examined through in-vitro and in-vivo studies. The amount of oil released as indicated by the β-carotene analysis was monitored and various influencing factors (pH, time, compositions, etc.) were also investigated. Using sensory panelists, oral processing of emulsion gels was examined in terms of both mastication parameters and perceptions of oiliness and thickness. The obtained results showed that the use of a starch emulsifier gives a higher oil release and an enhanced oral sensation of oiliness mouthfeel. Therefore, starch emulsion could provide a novel solution in the design of fat-reduced food products with no effect on the mastication parameter, sensation and perception of fat-related attributes.The present study aimed to better understand the metabolite release and rheological characteristics of sponge cake after in vitro digestion and the effect of Eucheuma as a fibre-rich flour replacer. Overall, 22 compounds including amino acids, saccharides, fatty acids, and other metabolites were identified based on nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Principal component analysis and orthogonal projection to latent structures-discriminant analysis showed that Eucheuma reduced the release of amino acids and fatty acids. The released glucose from the EP20 sample (20% replacement of flour with Eucheuma) decreased by 35.4% in intestinal phases compared with the control cake. Eucheuma's in vitro effects on sponge cake digestion mainly reflected altered flow behaviour index. All samples showed solid-like behaviour and a decrease in viscoelastic moduli after digestion. This study forms the basis for future optimisation of food properties to control their digestive characteristics.Agro-industrial activities generate large amounts of solid residues, which are generally discarded or used as animal feed. Interestingly, some of these by-products could serve as natural sources of bioactive compounds with great potential for industrial exploitation. This study aimed to optimize the extraction of phenolic antioxidants from the pulp residue (oil processing by-product) of inajá (Maximiliana maripa, a native species found in the Brazilian Amazon). The antioxidant properties of the optimized extract and its phenolic profile by high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-QTOF-MS) were further determined. Central composite rotatable design and statistical analysis demonstrated that the temperature of 70 °C and 50% (v/v) ethanol concentration improved the extraction of phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. WZ811 ic50 The optimized extract also showed scavenging activity against the ABTS radical cation and reactive oxygen species (ROS; peroxyl and superoxide radical, and hypochlorous acid). Moreover, the optimized extract was able to reduce NF-κB activation and TNF-α release, which are modulated by ROS.
