Rapid identification of adulteration in raw bovine milk with soymilk by electronic nose and headspace-gas chromatography ion-mobility spectrometry.

The adulteration of soymilk (SM) into raw bovine milk (RM) to gain profit without declaration could cause a health risk. In this study, electronic nose (E-nose) and headspace-gas chromatography ion-mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) were applied to establish a rapid and effective method to identify adulteration in RM with SM. The obtained data from HS-GC-IMS and E-nose can distinguish the adulterated samples with SM by principal component analysis. Furthermore, a quantitative model of partial least squares was established. The detection limits of E-nose and HS-GC-IMS quantitative models were 1.53% and 1.43%, the root mean square errors of prediction were 0.7390 and 0.5621, the determination coefficients of prediction were 0.9940 and 0.9958, and the relative percentage difference were 10.02 and 13.27, respectively, indicating quantitative regression and good prediction performances of SM adulteration levels in RM were achieved. This research can provide scientific information on the rapid, non-destructive and effective adulteration detection for RM.

Fabrication and characterization of zein-tea polyphenols-pectin ternary complex nanoparticles as an effective hyperoside delivery system: Formation mechanism, physicochemical stability, and in vitro release property.

Hyperoside (HYP) has various potential benefits, however, its low water-solubility and poor bioavailability have restricted its application. Here, HYP-loaded zein-tea polyphenols (TP)-pectin ternary complex nanoparticles (Z/TP/P-HYP) were prepared by the antisolvent precipitation method for HYP delivery. The formed Z/TP/P-HYP are negatively charged spherical particles with a size of 246 nm, and have the highest HYP encapsulation efficiency (94.2%) at TP was 0.25 mg/mL. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic effects were major interactions to Z/TP/P-HYP formation. Differential scanning calorimetry confirmed that encapsulated HYP was in an amorphous state. Freeze-dried Z/TP/P-HYP displayed good water-redispersibility and high particle yield (95.2%). Z/TP/P-HYP exhibited improved pH (2.0-8.0) and ionic (0-500 mM) stability. Furthermore, Z/TP/P-HYP demonstrated stronger antioxidant properties than free HYP and provided HYP sustained release under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Therefore, Z/TP/P-HYP have great potential as an effective HYP delivery system for applications in foods.
