RESUMEN

Egg white protein (EWP) is susceptible to denaturation and coagulation when exposed to high temperatures, adversely affecting its flavour, thereby influencing consumers' decisions. Here, we employ high-voltage cold plasma (HVCP) as a novel nonthermal technique to investigate its influence on the EWP's flavour attributes using E-nose, E-tongue, and headspace gas-chromatography-ion-mobilisation spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) due to their rapidness and high sensitivity in identifying flavour fingerprints in foods. The EWP was investigated at 0, 60, 120, 180, 240, and 300 s of HVCP treatment time. The results revealed that HVCP significantly influences the odour and taste attributes of the EWP across all treatments, with a more significant influence at 60 and 120 s of HVCP treatment. Principal component analyses of the E-nose and E-tongue clearly distinguish the odour and taste sensors' responses. The HS-GC-IMS analysis identified 65 volatile compounds across the treatments. The volatile compounds' concentrations increased as the HVCP treatment time was increased from 0 to 300 s. The significant compounds contributing to EWP characterisation include heptanal, ethylbenzene, ethanol, acetic acid, nonanal, heptacosane, 5-octadecanal, decanal, p-xylene, and octanal. Thus, this study shows that HVCP could be utilised to modify and improve the EWP flavour attributes.

RESUMEN

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laser alone therapy and laser combination therapy (mainly combined with other kinds of laser or steroids) for keloid.PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were searched for relevant articles from inception to June 2020. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software 2.0 (CMA) was used to perform the meta-analysis.A total of 29 articles were included in this meta-analysis. During the mean follow-up of 14 (1-84) months, the overall improvement rates of baseline Vancouver scar scale (VSS) score and itch were 0.454 (95%CI 0.351-0.561, I2 = 0) and 0.786 (95%CI 0.613-0.895, I2 = 0) in the laser combination therapy group. The improvement rates of scar height and flexibility in the laser combination therapy group were 0.629 (95%CI 0.519-0.727, I2 = 52.089) and 0.784 (95%CI 0.251-0.975, I2 = 89.420). The average improvement rate of the scar score in laser combination therapy was 0.338 (0.201-0.510); however, there were insufficient data for laser alone therapy comparison. The laser combination therapy had a greater pain improvement rate, 0.580 (0.389-0.750) versus 0.420 (0.224-0.645), compared to laser alone therapy, and a greater degree of good or excellent (> 50%) improvement in the overall scar, 0.636 (95%CI 0.347-0.852) versus 0.149 (95%CI 0.032-0.482), with laser alone therapy. Moreover, a lower regrowth rate of 0.187 (0.129-0.263) versus 0.249 (0.060-0.631), a lower post-treatment pigmentation rate of 0.125 (0.091-0.169) versus 0.135 (0.058-0.282), and a lower infection rate of 0.047 (0.009-0.209) versus 0.076 (0.012-0.351) were observed in the laser combination therapy compared with those rates in the laser alone therapy.The overall effect of laser combination therapy was better than that of laser alone therapy, and the incidence of adverse reactions was lower in laser combination therapy than in laser alone therapy.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The greatest hurdle to commercial marketing of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables is limited shelf life due to microbial hazards and quality deterioration. Atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) is an emerging non-thermal technology with significant potential to improve the safety and storability of fresh products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of ACP, generated in sealed packaging, on the qualitative, metabolic and microbial stability of fresh-cut pears during simulated cold storage. RESULTS: ACP treatments were effective in inhibiting the growth of mesophilic aerobic bacteria, yeast and mold, particularly CP3 (65 kV, 1 min), which could prolong shelf life to the greatest extent. While decontamination was not always associated with an increase in plasma intensity. Moreover, at 65 kV for 1 min, ACP treatment had the potential to retard respiration, and maintain organoleptic properties and other quality attributes. Additionally, peroxidase and pectin methylesterase (PME) activities were reduced immediately after treatments. These effects were dependent on treatment voltage and time, while a subsequent recovery in activity was only observed for PME. CONCLUSION: The results obtained from this study will contribute to an understanding of the effects of in-package ACP treatments on the storability and microbial safety of fresh-cut pears. This knowledge could be beneficial in reducing quality losses for fresh-cut pears and the preservation of other products. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

RESUMEN

Currently, there has been a surge of interest in revealing the interactions between plasma and food matrices. In this study, we investigated the impacts of atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) treatment on the structural, physicochemical and allergenic characteristics of soybean protein isolate (SPI). SPI dispersions were subjected to ACP treatments at different frequencies (80 to 100 Hz) and durations (1 to 10 min) to investigate the effects of exposing conditions. Results showed that ACP induced reactive oxygen species-mediated oxidation of soy proteins, resulting in modifications in the secondary and ternary structures of SPI. As a consequence, functional properties of SPI, such as emulsifying (56 to 168%, compared with control) and foaming properties (60 to 194%) were influenced by varying degrees. In addition, under certain circumstance (120 Hz, 5 min), the IgE-binding level of SPI was decreased by up to 75%, when compared to the control. Moderate treatment yielded products with improved functionality and reduced allergenicity, while extensive exposure induced a loss of vendibility due to protein aggregation. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, we demonstrated for the first time, that plasma species reacted with soybean proteins, resulting in spatial structural changes which are closely related with protein functionality and allergenicity. ACP interacts with macromolecules in aqueous systems and thus can be an alternative and promising nonthermal approach in modifying soybean proteins, whereas the exact role of different processing parameters needs to be well-elaborated.

RESUMEN

The study was aimed to investigate the combined effect of acid blanching (AB) and high-voltage electric field cold plasma (HVCP) on carrot juice quality. Before juice extraction, carrots were separated into three parts: control, blanched (100 °C for 5 min) with non-acidified water, and blanched with acidified water (35 g/L citric acid at pH 1.34). Carrot juice was then subjected to dielectric barrier discharge at 80 kV for 4 min. Results indicated that AB treatment significantly influenced the efficiency of HVCP. AB-HVCP resulted in antimicrobial synergism, which is an outcome of acidified NO2-, H2O2, O-, and peroxynitrites (ONOO-) or its precursor OH/NO2, along with other species. In addition, plasma treatment also promotes the accumulation of coloring compounds, chlorogenic acid, and sugar contents by surface erosion of the epidermal layer, cis isomerization, rupturing of phenol-sugar and phenolic-cell matrix bonds, and depolymerized long-chain polysaccharides by cleavage of the glycoside bond. Therefore, AB-HVCP is a potential emerging hurdle strategy for fresh produce.

RESUMEN

Lipid oxidation-a major cause of food product deterioration-necessitates the use of food additives to inhibit food oxidation. Ginger extract (GE) has been reported to possess antioxidant properties. However, components isolated from ginger have been rarely reported to inhibit fat oxidation. Herein, antioxidant properties of GE and four pure components derived from it (6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, 10-gingerol, and 6-shogaol) were examined and their properties were compared to those of butylated hydroxytoluene. GE and the constituent components exhibited antioxidant properties that might be attributed to their hydroxyl groups and suitable solubilizing side chains. 6-Shogaol and 10-gingerol exhibited higher activity at 60°C than 6-gingerol and 8-gingerol. Low antioxidant activity was detected at high temperatures (120/180°C). Overall, GE displayed the strongest dose-dependent antioxidant properties, especially at high temperatures, thereby demonstrating that GE can be employed as a natural antioxidant in lipid-containing processed foods.

RESUMEN

Effects of plant polyphenols (tea polyphenol [TP], grape seed extract [GSE], and gingerol) and α-tocopherol on physicochemical parameters, microbiological counts, and biogenic amines were determined in dry-cured bacons at the end of ripening. Results showed that plant polyphenols and α-tocopherol significantly decreased pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances content, and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) compared with the control (P < 0.05). Microbial counts and biogenic amine contents in dry-cured bacons were affected by plant polyphenols or α-tocopherol, with TP being the most effective (P < 0.05) in reducing aerobic plate counts, Enterobacteriaceae, Micrococcaceae, yeast, and molds, as well as in inhibiting formation of putrescine, cadaverine, tyramine, and spermine. Principal component analysis indicated that the first 2 principal components (PC) explained about 85.5% of the total variation. PC1 was related with physicochemical factors, parts of biogenic amines, and spoilage microorganisms, whereas PC2 grouped the TVBN, tyramine, 2-phenylethylamine, yeast, and molds. These findings suggest that plant polyphenols, especially TP, could be used to process dry-cured bacons to improve the quality and safety of finished products.
