Abstract:
To balance the nutrition and improve quality of sausages. This research investigated quality improvements of Sichuan sausages by 41.5% poultry, rabbit meat and fish addition. The moisture, crude fat, crude protein contents, pH, Aw, colour, texture, TBARS, protein carbonyl, free thiol groups, fatty acids composition and sensory attributes of pork, poultry, rabbit meat and fish mixture group sausages were evaluated. The results showed that the hardness of pork and rabbit meat mixture group sausages (76.37, 68.01 kg) was significant (P<0.05) higher than that of other 2 groups. The TBARS values in poultry meat and fish mixture group sausages (0.60, 0.63 mg MDA/kg) were significant (P<0.05) higher than that of rabbit meat mixture group. Only EPA and DHA were detected in fish mixture sausages. The ∑poly unsaturated fatty acids (19.96%) and ∑n-6:∑n-3 (22) in poultry meat mixture group sausages were significant (P<0.05) higher than that of other 3 groups. The overall quality scores of poultry and rabbit meat mixture group sausages (7.33, 7.05 points) were significant (P<0.05) higher than those of fish mixture groups. The results of this study indicated that the rabbit meat mixture group sausages had improved quality attributes, the yield rate management and application of liquid fat (vegetable and fish oil) addition could improve nutrition value of Sichuan sausages in the future work. The fish mixture group sausages had better fatty acids composition, and a slightly higher fat oxidation level, thus the application of antioxidates and de-fishy substances could be added in fish-based sausages to control fat oxidation and improve whole sausage quality and sensory attributes.

Abstract:
To investigate the ameliorative effect of the D-α-tocopheryl acetate compound on D-galactose-induced aging in mice, the in vitro antioxidant capacity of the compound of natural oils+phytosterols (VEO), the compound of D-α-tocopheryl acetate+phytosterol (VEZ), and the compound of D-α-tocopheryl acetat+phytosterol+astaxanthin (VEX) were measured. The aging model was established using mice injected with D-galactose on the back of the neck, while the intervention was carried out with different compounds. The results showed that all three groups of compounds had strong antioxidant effects, with the VEZ group showing better in vitro antioxidant effects. Compared with the aging model mice, the intervention of the three compounds increased glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) (P<0.01), and a decrease in the serum inflammatory factors interleukin-1β(IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and liver function indicators alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were significantly reduced (P<0.01). After the intervention, the mRNA and protein expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), quinone oxidoreductase (NQO-1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in mice were significantly enhanced (P<0.0001). This indicated that the different combinations exerted their antioxidant effects through up-regulating the expression of Nrf2, NQO-1 and HO-1, thus achieving anti-aging effects, with the VEZ group showing the best expression effect. In conclusion, D-α-Tocopheryl acetate complex achieved their anti-aging effects by increasing the expression of antioxidant-related mRNAs and proteins, thus enhancing the levels of downstream antioxidant enzymes, among which D-α-tocopheryl acetate was more effective when combined with phytosterols.

Abstract:
For the purpose of demonstrating the kinetics of immersion in slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) on the storage quality of fresh-cut Gastrodia elata slices. Pretreated fresh-cut slices of Gastrodia elata were dipped in SAWE at solid-liquid ratios of 1:1, 1:3, 1:5 g/mL, and stored at 4 ℃ for comparison with the untreated group. Establish a quality decay dynamics model system based on a 28-day storage observation experiment, recording and analyzing its physical, chemical and nutritional indicators. SAEW impregnation significantly inhibited browning rate, browning degree, and spoilage occurrence. The total number of colonies in the untreated group, the solid-liquid ratio 1:1, 1:3, and 1:5 groups were 8.25, 5.11, 5.13, and 5.10 lg CFU/g, the vitamin C content was 4.42, 5.66, 4.79, and 4.79 mg/100 g, and the gastrodin content was 0.25%, 0.24%, 0.24%, 0.24%. By kinetic fitting, the variation law of the total number of colonies of Gastrodia elata fresh slices by SAEW immersion treatment conformed to the Logistic model. The water activity index change law was derived using Expdec2. The indicator variation rules were derived from the dynamic model system, and R2 was greater than 0.8, which indicated a good match between indicators. Moreover, SAEW dip treatment effectively suppresses browning, browning rate, rot index, and the total number of colonies of Gastrodia elata fresh slices, and gastrodin and vitamin C content were slowed. For application of SAEW dipping in the storage of fresh-cut products, the relevant results might provide technical guidance.

Abstract:
To explore the development value of different freshwater fish productions of prefabricated grilled fish and realize the diversified development of prefabricated grilled fish categories, an analysis was hereby carried out on the nutritional and textural characteristics of prefabricated grilled fish processed from six common freshwater fish. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the moisture and ash content (P>0.05), the protein content ranged from 21.87%~24.28%, and the fat content was low in all six types of grilled fish. Besides, the content of glutamic acid, aspartic acid and lysine was high, and that of the total essential amino acids ranged from 7.71~9.42 g/100 g. Among them, that of common carp and Wuchang fish was higher, followed by tilapia and grass carp, Wuchang fish, common carp and tilapia had a high fresh amino acid content. The ratio of the essential amino acids to the total amino acids of the six grilled fish was about 40%, which was a high-quality animal protein source. According to the amino acid score, the first limiting amino acid of all six grilled fish was methionine+cysteine, common carp had the highest essential amino acid index, followed by tilapia. Besides, a total of 22 fatty acids were detected in the six grilled fish species, which had a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids. Tilapia and Wuchang fish contained high functional fatty acids with a high nutritional value, such as eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. Through the principal component analysis, the comprehensive score of nutritional indicators followed the order of tilapia>Wuchang fish>common carp>grass carp>crucian carp>pincer fish, while in terms of textural characteristics, the elasticity and chewiness of tilapia and Wuchang fish were significantly(P<0.05)higher than those of traditional common carp and grass carp, and the hardness was lower. In this case, it could be tentatively inferred that tilapia and Wuchang fish had a better muscle texture. As raw materials of grilled fish, all these six freshwater fish were excellent protein sources, reasonable amino acid composition and rich fatty acids, among which, tilapia and Wuchang fish produced prefabricated grilled fish with better nutrition and better taste. Overall, this study provides a theoretical basis for the development of grilled fish in multiple categories and the extension of the "breeding+processing" industry chain.

Abstract:
Sargassum fusiforme, rich in a variety of nutrients and active substances, is one of the important economic seaweeds in China and its quality could be easily affected by environmental factors such as marine areas. This paper aimed to figure out the differences in nutritional composition of Sargassum fusiforme cultivated in different marine areas. This paper used Sargassum fusiforme cultivated in seven marine areas in Zhejiang Province as the research object, and determined the basic nutrients, amino acids and fatty acids using the National Food Safety Standard. The antioxidant activities of the seven Sargassum fusiforme polysaccharides were determined using DPPH· and ·OH scavenging as evaluation criteria, and the structural composition of seven kinds of Sargassum fusiforme polysaccharides were preliminarily analyzed. The results indicated that the moisture content of seven Sargassum fusiforme was highest, between (82.50±0.32) and (86.50±0.23) g/100 g. In addition to moisture content, the other main nutrient component was polysaccharide. The polysaccharide content of Sargassum fusiforme cultivated in No.7 marine area was the highest (P<0.05), which was 2.51 g/100 g. The fat content of Sargassum fusiforme of each marine area was relatively low, which was (0.30±0.01)~(0.40±0.01) g/100 g, indicating that Sargassum fusiforme was a kind of typically low-fat food. The amino acid content of Sargassum fusiforme varied greatly and the EAAI (Essential Amino Acid Index) values of Sargassum fusiforme in each marine area were all more than 0.9, indicating that Sargassum fusiforme in the seven marine areas were all high-quality protein sources. Furthermore, the amino acid composition ratios of Sargassum fusiforme cultivated in No.2 and No.6 marine areas were reasonable, which were closer to the ideal protein model recommended by WHO /FAO in 1937. A total of eight fatty acids were detected in Sargassum fusiforme from seven marine areas. Except for Sargassum fusiforme cultivated in No.2 marine area, the rest were mainly polyunsaturated fatty acids. The heavy metal content of Sargassum fusiforme complied with the requirements of in National Food Safety Standard - Maximum Levels of Contaminants in Foods (GB 2762-2017). The contents of Ca and K in Sargassum fusiforme cultivated in No.4 marine area were (131.44±6.36) mg/100 g and (1687.63±28.14) mg/100 g, respectively, which were good sources of Ca and K. The polysaccharide structures of Sargassum fusiforme in each marine area were similar, all of which contained sulfate groups and had the activity of scavenging ·OH and DPPH·. Among them, the polysaccharide of Sargassum fusiforme cultivated in No.5 marine area had the highest antioxidant activity, and the IC50 of scavenging ·OH and DPPH· were 0.534 mg/mL and 0.236 mg/mL, respectively. This study laid a certain foundation for the scientific breeding, processing and quality grade evaluation of Sargassum fusiforme.

Abstract:
To optimize the extraction process of polysaccharide form Solanum lyratum and investigate its in vitro antioxidative activity.In this study, response surface methodology was employed to optimize the ultrasonic-assisted extraction process of polysaccharides from Solanum lyratum. Single-factor experiments were conducted to explore the effects of three factors: extraction temperature, extraction time, and solid-liquid ratio on the yield. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyze the structure of Solanum lyratum polysaccharide, and in vitro antioxidant activity was investigated. The results revealed that the optimal extraction conditions were the material-liquid ratio of 1:57 g/mL, the extraction time of 58 min, and the extraction temperature of 65 ℃. Under these conditions, the yield of polysaccharides was 7.54%±0.12%. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the extracted polysaccharides exhibited a typical polysaccharide absorbance. Moreover, the half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of polysaccharides against DPPH and ABTS+ free radicals were 1.104 and 1.408 mg/mL, respectively, indicating significant in vitro antioxidant activity. The results of this study provided a theoretical foundation for the further development and utilization of Solanum lyratum polysaccharides.

Abstract:
In order to enrich potato staple products and improve the sensory quality of scones, the rheological properties of mixed dough of potato flour and wheat flour were studied. With sensory score and texture characteristics as evaluation indexes, the formulation of potato flour scone was optimized by single factor test and orthogonal test. The results showed that potato flour could improve the water absorption of wheat flour and shorten the formation time of dough, but it would lead to the decline of dough elasticity and gluten strength and the decline of dough quality. Therefore, the appropriate substitution ratio for whole potato flour was considered to be 20%. The best process recipe for scones was based on a mixture of wheat flour and whole potato flour quality, with 20% whole potato flour added, 68% water added, 0.8% yeast added and 6% sugar added. The hardness of the scone prepared under the optimal condition was 342.63 g, and the chewiness was 106.76 N. The research results provided a theoretical basis for the quality improvement of the scones and the development of whole potato flour products.

Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) treatment combined with salt stress on the enrichment of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in adzuki beans after germination. The effect of CAPP voltage, frequency, and duration of treatment of seeds, on their GABA content during germination was investigated using adzuki beans as raw material. In addition, the method of germination using L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) combined with salt stress was used to investigate the effect of single factors (germination time and concentrations of CaCl2, L-Glu, and NaCl) on enrichment of GABA. The optimal process conditions for enrichment of GABA using response surface optimization experiments were also determined. The results showed that the treatment of seeds with CAPP technology had a beneficial effect on their germination and enrichment of GABA. The CAPP treatment was more effective under the following conditions: voltage of 90 kV, frequency of 120 Hz, and duration of 20 min. When the germination time was 58 h and the CaCl2, L-Glu, and NaCl concentrations were 4.4 mmol/L, 3.2 mg/mL, and 66 mmol/L, respectively, the GABA content of germinated adzuki beans was 160.23±2.91 mg/100 g, which was 7.12 times higher than that of ungerminated adzuki beans. This method is efficient, reliable, cost-effective, and provides a technical reference for the industrial production of GABA-rich foods.

Abstract:
In order to improve the content of resistant starch of light speckled kidney bean and reserve the other nutrients, an autoclaved method for preparing light speckled kidney bean with high resistant starch was studied. The essential nutrients, in vitro digestibility and structural characteristics of autoclaving light speckled kidney bean were evaluated. Results showed that, the process conditions of autoclaved method for preparing light speckled kidney bean with high resistant starch were optimized as follows: Autoclaving temperature 124 ℃, solid-liquid ratio 1:1.9 (g:g), retrograded time 73 h, and autoclaving time 24 min. Under the optimized conditions, the content of resistant starch was 35.63%, which was close to the corresponding theoretical value. An analysis on the structural characteristics showed that the original starch grains was changed significantly in morphology and in molecular crystal form, but no new group was generated. After autoclaving, the crude fat, crude protein in the light speckled kidney bean did not obviously changing, but the content of starch and resistant starch increased obviously (P<0.05). The in vitro digestion rate of high resistant starch in the light speckled kidney bean decreased significantly after autoclaving. The method of autoclaving improve the content of resistant starch of light speckled kidney bean would provide a reference for the commercialization and its application in food industry as well.

Abstract:
The study aimed to determine the influence of harvest date on ‘Yeniang No.2’ (Vitis quinquangularis Rehd.) wine basic chemical variables and aroma components. A series of three ‘Yeniang No.2’ wines were produced from grapes of different harvest dates, Harvest 1: 15 August, Harvest 2: 10 September and Harvest 3: 23 September. The physicochemical properties and aroma components were determined. Results showed that, the grapes of sequential harvest treatments showed an increase in total sugar and a decrease in titratable acidity. In the wines, alcoholic strength, phenol, tannin and flavonoid were enhanced with the sequential harvest, whereas residual sugar and acidity were decreased. there also existed significant difference among different harvest periods(P<0.05). There were 89 aroma components identified in 3 wines, including 22 alcohols, 37 esters, 7acids, 5 aldehydes , 5 terpenes and 13 others. The highest concentration of aroma components was in the last harvest date, 852370.83 μg/L. The main aroma characteristics of ‘Yeniang No.2’ wines were fruity, caramel, fatty and floral aromas, but the odor activity value (OAV) of the same aroma component of wines harvested on different dates was different, which led to differences in their aroma characteristics. The higher OAV of isovaleric acid and octoic acid in wines harvested on 15 August gave the wine a higher fatty flavor. The higher OAV of phenylacetaldehyde, β-damastone and TDN in wines harvested on 10 September gave the wine more floral and caramel characteristics. The higher OAV of ethylcaproate in wines harvested on 23 September gave the wine a higher fruity aroma. The analysis results of the fruit quality and aroma characteristics showed that the best harvest period of the ‘Yeniang No.2’ grape was between 10 September and 23 September.

Abstract:
In order to understand the adsorption mechanism of chitosan microflower (CSMF) on procyanidins (PC), CSMF was used as an adsorbent to adsorb PC solutions under different adsorption conditions. The drug-loaded particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), etc. Through adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherm, and adsorption thermodynamics, the mechanism of CSMF adsorption PC was systematically studied. The results showed that the FTIR pattern of the drug-loaded particles produced a new characteristic peak at 1456 cm−1, indicating that the PC was successfully loaded onto the CSMF. The results of SEM and XRD analysis showed that the morphology and crystallinity of CSMF did not change after loading. The adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption of PC by CSMF conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption rate was affected by the interaction between particle diffusion and boundary layer diffusion. The adsorption isotherm showed that the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model could more accurately reflect the entire adsorption process, indicating that the adsorption process of CSMF to PC was multilayer adsorption with surface energy inhomogeneity. Finally, adsorption thermodynamics showed that the adsorption of PC by CSMF was a spontaneous physical adsorption process with reduced entropy.

Abstract:
In this study, mango core-shell cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were prepared successfully after hypochlorite bleaching, alkalization TEMPO oxidation and high pressure homogenization. The effects of pH and ionic strength on emulsion stability were also investigated. The results showed that the mango core-shell CNFs prepared by TEMPO oxidation and high pressure homogenization method maintained the basic structure of cellulose, and some hydroxyl groups were oxidized to carboxyl group. The cellulose crystallinity was reduced to 57%, which was more sensitive to temperature, but still maintained high thermal stability. The particle size of Pickering emulsion stabilized by mango core-shell CNFs decreased significantly with the increase of pH. The smallest particle size was 469.5 nm at pH11, and the particle size distribution was more uniform. The 30 day CI was 58.8%, showing good stability. The ionic strength had a great influence on the stability of mango core-shell CNFs Pickering emulsion. Under the ionic strength of 50~100 mmol/L, a large number of positively charged sodium ions aggregated on the surface of CNFs and neutralize the negative charge on the surface, which weakened the electrostatic repulsion between droplets and makes droplets more likely to aggregate, which was not conductive to the stability of the emulsion. In summary, the mango core-shell CNFs could be used as excellent solid particles in Pickering emulsion, which would provide a new for the high value utilization of mango core-shell.

Abstract:
In order to study the effect of ultrasound-assisted salting on the flavor quality of microwave heating snakehead fillet, the parameters of ultrasonic and brining of snakehead fillet were first investigated, then the electronic nose, electronic tongue, volatile substances and free amino acid substance of microwave heated snakehead fillets were determined. The results showed that the optimum parameters of ultrasound-assisted brining were as follows: Salt content 4 g/mL, solid-to-liquid ratio 1:4 g/mL, constant temperature (24±1) ℃, ultrasonic frequency 40 kHz, ultrasonic power 200 W and ultrasonic time 60 min. In electronic nose and volatile flavor substances analysis, ultrasonic assisted salting treatment effectively inhibited the formation of organic sulfide and increased the contents of five volatile substances (alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids and esters) in microwave heated fillets. In electronic tongue and free amino acid substance content analysis, the response of ultrasonic assisted salting treatment to sour and bitter taste was the lowest, and the response to salty, umami and sweet taste was the highest. And the ultrasonic treatment increased the contents of 13 free amino acids of microwave heated snakehead fillet, suggesting the improvement of flavor and taste. Two-factor analysis of variance found that ultrasonic treatment had a more significant effect on flavor, and salting treatment had a more significant effect on taste. The results of this study provide theoretical support for the industrial production of prefabricated aquatic products.

Abstract:
To explore the antimicrobial activity of epidermis mucus, the basic components and amino acid composition were analyzed and the antimicrobial substances in the mucus were extracted in this study. Their antimicrobial activity, preservation effects on salmon were explored. The components with antimicrobial activity were isolated and purified by solid phase extraction, gel filtration chromatography and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. And the peptide sequences were identified. Then, the antimicrobial peptides were synthesized accordingly and their antimicrobial activities were verified. The results exhibited that the main composition of epidermis mucus of sturgeon was protein with 47.44%±0.59%. The total amino acid content was 459.68 mg/g, with a high content of basic amino acids and hydrophobic amino acids. The crude antimicrobial peptide exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis. Crude antimicrobial peptide (50 mg/mL) significantly inhibited the growth of microorganisms and protein degradation during salmon preservation. The highest active component after final liquid chromatography purification exhibited an inhibition rate of 92.40%±4.50% against Bacillus subtilis and 75.43%±5.02% against Escherichia coli. The sequences of novel peptides were identified as HSETLHDV and PLTDWQL. The synthetic antimicrobial peptides of sturgeon epidermis mucus had obvious inhibitory effects on Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Shewanella baltica. Therefore, this study would provide a theoretical basis for exploring the antimicrobial value of sturgeon mucus and lay a foundation for the development and application of natural preservatives.

Abstract:
Cordyceps militaris polysaccharides from the fermentation broth were prepared via chitosan flocculation and water extraction and alcohol precipitation methods to obtain the flocculated polysaccharide (XDT) and alcohol precipitation polysaccharide (CDT) respectively. The extraction yields, component content, average particle sizes and solubility of XDT and CDT were comparatively investigated. The microstructures, functional groups and spatial conformations were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy and Congo red assay. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by scavenging ability of DPPH, superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical. The hypoglycemic activity was estimated by α-glucosidase inhibitory ability, and the antitumor cell activity was analyzed by inhibition of HepG2 cell proliferation. The results showed a yield of 3.58% for XDT, 1.91 times that of CDT. CDT and XDT exhibited different microstructures under electron microscopy, and similar absorption patterns under infrared spectrum, while XDT contained more triple helix structures than CDT. XDT displayed smaller average particle sizes but a faster dissolution rate than CDT. In vitro antioxidant tests showed that XDT exhibited significantly higher scavenging ability of DPPH, superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical than CDT at the same concentration. There was no significant difference between the XDT and CDT in the inhibition of α-glucosidase at low concentration, but XDT showed significantly higher inhibition than CDT as the increase of concentration. XDT was found to be a stronger inhibitor of HepG2 cells proliferation than CDT at the same treatment concentration. In summary, XDT showed higher yields, smaller average particle sizes, faster solubility, and higher antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and antitumor activity in vitro.

Abstract:
In this work, the different proportions (0~2.0%, wt%) of chito-oligosaccharides were added into the low gluten wheat flour to prepare the crisp cookie, and the variations of flour properties, dough rheological properties, crisp cookie quality and antioxidation during storage (35 ℃, 28 d) were also investiated to evaluate the potential application of chito-oligosaccharides in flour food. Results showed that the addition of chito-oligosaccharide extended the formation time and stability time of dough but reduced the water absorption, weakening degree, gluten strength and viscoelasticity. Moreover, from the texture measurement, the crisp cookies containing 1.5% chito-oligosaccharide diplayed the lowest hardness (9422.80 gf) and chewability (2816.95 gf), which was accordance to the result of crisp taste test. However, color of the samples was gradually deepened with the increasing chito-oligosaccharide. In the sensory experiment, when the addition amount was 1.0%, the texture characteristics of cookies were not significantly different from those with 1.5% (P>0.05), and the color was golden with the highest sensory score. Therefore, the cooky with 1.0% chito-oligosaccharide showed the overall higher acceptability of consumers than that of others. Remarkably, the acid value, peroxide value and malondialdehyde (TBA) of the cookies with chito-oligosaccharide were lower than those of control group (P<0.05) after the storage (35 ℃, 28 d) experiment. These results indicated that the addition of chito-oligosaccharide could effectively promote the quality of cooky and delay the oxidation rout of cookies during the storage period, it could be used for quality improvement of wheat products.

Abstract:
The influence of soybean meal protein addition to the gel properties of silver carp surimi was studied, and the potential causes were further analyzed from the perspective of chemical forces and protein secondary structures. The surimi gels were prepared by the addition of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% of soybean meal protein, respectively, to the frozen surimi samples of silver carp. The water-holding capacity, cooking loss rate, whiteness value, texture characteristics, sensory quality, chemical strength, total sulfhydryl content and protein secondary structure of surimi gel were measured by a texture analyzer and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The results showed that when the amount of soybean meal protein accounted for 1.5% of the frozen silver carp surimi, the water holding capacity, hardness, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness of the surimi gel increased to the maximum values of 87.59%±1.44%, 381.70±7.64 g, 12.41±0.67 mm, 0.89±0.02 and 38.60±0.14 mJ, respectively, while the cooking loss rate decreased to the minimum value of 10.20%±0.52%, the sensory quality reached the best, and the whiteness value decreased slightly. This could be explained that the addition of 1.5% soybean meal protein led to a maximum hydrophobic interaction and total sulfhydryl content of surimi gel, and a tight gel three-dimensional network structure was formed. Moreover, the addition of soybean meal protein had little effect on the secondary structure of surimi protein. Therefore, the addition of 1.5% soybean meal protein effectively improved the gelation properties of surimi products.

Abstract:
In order to study the mechanism of protease which influences on the flavor of soymilk, different kinds and concentrations of protease (papain, 15000, 30000, 45000, 60000 and 75000 U/L, aminopeptidase, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 U/L, flavor protease, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 U/L, alkaline protease, 500, 1500, 2500, 3500 and 4500 U/L) were added to the soymilk made by automatic soymilk maker. Sensory evaluation was carried out on the soymilk after heating. The content and difference of polypeptide and amino acid nitrogen in the soymilk after enzymatic hydrolysis and heating were determined, and the correlation between them and sensory flavor indexes was analyzed. The volatile flavor components of soymilk were analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that in the blank control group prepared by automatic soymilk maker without protease, the unpleasant beany odor and pleasant bean aroma of soymilk after heating were both lighter than those prepared by traditional method named the raw bean control group, while the contents of polypeptide and amino acid nitrogen showed reductions of 37.98% and 25.78% as compared to the raw bean control group, respectively. The sensory evaluation was carried out after adding different proteases to the soymilk prepared by automatic soymilk maker. The results showed that the soymilk added with 250 U/L flavor protease had the highest sensory score, which increased by 118.41% compared with the blank control group. In all groups added with proteases, the sensory score was significantly higher (P<0.05) except when it was added with 4500 U/L alkaline protease, compared with blank control group. The contents of hexanal, 2-pentyl furan, hexanol, trans,trans-2,4-decadienal and other volatile compounds related to beany ador in the enzyme added samples were lower than those in the blank control group and the raw bean control group, and the contents and types of volatile compounds related to bean aroma were increased to varying degrees. The addition of exogenous protease could significantly improve the contents of polypeptide and amino acid nitrogen in soymilk, among which the content of polypeptide was the highest when adding 4500 U/L alkaline protease (2.30±0.15 g/L), and the content of amino acid nitrogen was the highest when adding 2500 U/L aminopeptidase (0.087±0.0045 g/L). The amino acid nitrogen content of enzymolized soymilk in the group added with flavor protease was significantly positively correlated with the score of bean aroma (P<0.05), the increase of polypeptide in groups added with the other three enzymes were significantly or extremely significantly positively correlated with the score of beany odor (P<0.05, P<0.01). The increase of amino acid nitrogen was significantly negatively correlated with the beany odor, bean aroma and total score in the group added with aminopeptidase (P<0.05). The above results indicated that proteases are beneficial for increasing the content of polypeptides and amino acids as flavor precursors, which give a lighter beany odor and a richer bean aroma to the soymilk. This study provides theoretical guidance for the optimization of soymilk preparation technology.

Abstract:
To improve the gel quality of chicken blood, a by-product of concentrated slaughter, the effects of different concentrations and formulations of xanthan gum (XG) and guar gum (GG) on the gel properties of chicken blood were investigated using the indices of water retention, texture, and rheological properties, as well as analysis of molecular interactions and sensory scores. The results showed that while individual treatment with either XG or GG improved the water-holding capacity of the chicken blood gel, the action of XG was superior. Addition of 4.0 g/L of XG resulted in a cooking loss rate of 10.02%, centrifugation loss of 12.73%, and syneresis rate of 10.96% (at 48 h), while the hardness, cohesiveness, gelation, mastication, and recovery of the gel were decreased. Addition of 6.0 g/L of GG significantly improved the textural properties of the gel, resulting in a hardness of 366.95 N, elasticity of 0.94 mm, cohesiveness of 0.77, adhesiveness of 281.94, masticatory value of 263.72 mJ, and recovery of 0.25. Analysis of dynamic rheology and intermolecular forces showed that the gelation transformation of the chicken blood gel system was mainly determined by the elastic response. The formulation of XG and GG had a synergistic effect in stabilizing the chicken blood gel, with strengthened ionic bonds (from 29.18% to 32.62%) and hydrogen bonds (from 2.48% to 6.43%), reduced hydrophobic force (from 22.68% to 16.28%), increased water-holding capacity of the gel, and enhanced gel stability. The addition of 4.0 g/L of formulated colloid (XG and GG in a ratio of 7:3) to chicken blood resulted in optimal water retention and texture, together with high sensory scores of the gel.

Abstract:
Fermented dried noodles are a popular nutritional noodle flour product in current market. Wheat bran dietary fiber (WBDF) can improve the nutritional value of fermented dried noodles, but also affect the quality characteristics of fermented dried noodles. In this paper, the effects of WBDF content on the cooking characteristics, texture characteristics and porosity of fermented dried noodles were investigated by single factor experiments, and the correlation analysis for WBDF content and the quality characteristics of fermented dried noodles was taken. The results showed that the porosity, breaking strength, water absorption, optimal cooking time, cohesiveness, resilience and tensile distance decreased significantly with the increase of bran dietary fiber addition (P<0.05), while the flexibility, rate of cooking loss, hardness, adhesiveness, chewiness and tensile resistance increased significantly (P<0.05) and the sensory evaluation score decreased. Adding 2% wheat bran dietary fiber had weaker influence on the cooking characteristics, texture characteristics and sensory evaluation score of fermented dried noodles. The research could lay a theoretic basis for the investigation of dietary fiber fermented dried noodles.

Abstract:
The in vitro models of oleoyl lysophosphatidylcholine 18:1 (LPC(18:1)), oleoyl lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine 18:1 (LPE(18:1)) and oleic acid were constructed by simulating the pH, LPC(18:1) and LPE(18:1) contents and steaming conditions of Chinese water chestnut (CWC). The content of nonanal, decanal and oleic acid, and peroxide value (POV) produced by the in vitro models were used as indicators to investigate the formation mechanism of nonanal and decanal from LPC(18:1) and LPE(18:1) during the steaming of CWC. The results showed that the possible mechanism of the oxidation of LPC(18:1) and LPE(18:1) to form nonanal and decanal was as follows. First of all, the C8 and C11 positions close to the double bond on the unsaturated acyl chain of LPC(18:1) and LPE(18:1) lost H respectively, and then formed R·. In the second step, the R· directly reacted with O2 and H to form 8-hydroperoxide (8-ROOH), or reacted with O2 and H to form 9-hydroperoxide (9-ROOH) and 10-hydroperoxide (10-ROOH) after electron rearrangement. Finally, 8-ROOH split homogeneously to form decanal, 9-ROOH and 10-ROOH split homogeneously to form nonanal. The results can provide scientific reference for the formation mechanism of flavor substances and the regulation of flavor quality of fruits and vegetables.

Abstract:
In this study, to reveal the physicochemical properties and microbial taxa of Hong Qu produced in Shandong, China three Hong Qu samples were collected from a Shandong Qu-making company, and based on the determination of their physicochemical indexes and fermentation characteristics, the microbial taxa were resolved using MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technology, and the Bacillus and lactic acid bacteria contained in them were isolated and identified. The results showed that the moisture content of the three Hong Qu samples ranged from 8.27% to 10.30%, acidity ranged from 1.0 to 1.3 mmol/10 g, amino acid nitrogen content ranged from 131.65 to 172.76 mg/100 g, saccharification power ranged from 476 to 764 U/g, esterification power ranged from 331 to 548 U/g, and fermentation power, liquefaction power and alcoholization power were less than 10 U/g. The bacterial taxa of Hong Qu were mainly composed of Weissella (41.93%) and Acetobacter (9.99%), and the fungal taxa were mainly composed of Pichia (55.83%) and Monascus (21.24%), where the correlation between bacteria and alcoholization power was significant, and while the correlation between fungi and saccharification power was significant (P<0.05). Bacillus siamensis (B. siamensis) accounted for 79.17% of the Bacillus isolates and Pediococcus pentosaceus (P. pentosaceus) accounted for 55.55% of the lactic acid bacteria isolates. This shows that the Bacillus and lactic acid bacteria taxa included in this study mainly consisted of B. siamensis and P. pentosaceus, and the low content of Monascus and high content of Pichia might be the main reason for their low saccharification power.

Abstract:
In this paper, konjac powde were hydrolyzed by Bacillus licheniformis to prepare oligosaccharides. The effects of concentration of konjac powder, inoculum amount of strain, bacteriolysis temperature and hydrolysis time on hydrolysis rate of konjac powder were determined by single factor tests. The antioxidant activity of konjac powder oligosaccharides was evaluated with the scavenging ability of ·OH, ·O2· and DPPH· as indexes. The prebiotic activity of konjac powder oligosaccharides was investigated by in vitro fermentation test. The results showed that the optimal hydrolysis process parameters was as follows: concentration of konjac powder 20 g/L, inoculation capacity 1×107 CFU/g, hydrolysis temperature 43.6 ℃, hydrolysis time 10.2 h. Under the optimal conditions, the hydrolysis rate of konjac powder was 39.06%±0.12%, and the yield of KGOS was 66.72%. With the prolongation of hydrolysis time, the viscosity of solution decreased from 2430.33 mPa·s to 18.06 mPa·s. When the concentration of konjac powder was 10 mg/mL, the clearance rates of ·OH, ·O2 and DPPH· were 61.47%, 34.60% and 81.43%, respectively. The OD600 of KGOS, glucose and konjac powder on the proliferation of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevity and Lactobacillus casei in vitro were 0.775, 1.371, 0.236, 0.791, 1.339, 0.224 and 0.916, 1.336, 0.243, respectively. The results provide a theoretical basis for the further processing and utilization of oligosaccharides in konjac powder.

Abstract:
To investigate the effect of phenyllactic acid (PLA) on Listeria monocytogenes biofilms, crystal violet method was used to measure the biomass of L. monocytogenes biofilms, and inverted microscope and scanning electron microscope were used to observe the structure of L. monocytogenes biofilms, the content of extracellular polysaccharide, extracellular protein and extracellular DNA in biofilm was measured by phenol-sulfuric acid method, Folin-phenol method and diphenylamine method, respectively. The effect of PLA on the transcription of genes associated with biofilm formation of L. monocytogenes was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The results showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration values of PLA against eight L. monocytogenes strains were 6 mg/mL. PLA inhibited L. monocytogenes biofilm formation by reducing the synthesis of extracellular polysaccharides and extracellular proteins. For mature biofilms of L. monocytogenes, PLA destroyed the biofilm structure and reduced the biofilm biomass by reducing the amount of extracellular polysaccharides and extracellular proteins. PLA also inhibited the swarming motility of L. monocytogenes. The transcription levels of quorum sensing system agr in L. monocytogenes were significantly (P<0.05) decreased in the presence of PLA. As a natural antimicrobial compound, PLA had the potential application to control food contamination by L. monocytogenes and its biofilms.

Methods: Two glycines were utilized as the linker to connect the active fragments of NK-lysin and Piscidin, and the physicochemical properties and functional structures of the hybrid antimicrobial peptides were predicted by bioinformatics. The hybrid antimicrobial peptide NK-LPd gene was optimized according to Pichia pastoris codon preference principle. The optimized gene was amplified by gene splicing via overlap extension polymerase chain reaction (gene splicing by overlap extension polymerase chain reaction, SOE-PCR) and inserted into the secretory expression vector pPIC9K. The recombinant plasmid was chemically transformed into P. pastoris KM71 competent cells. The recombinant expression was induced by 0.5% methanol as the inducer, which products were purified by affinity purification and its activity was evaluated. Results: KM71/pPIC9K-NK-LPd was successfully constructed. After expression for 5 days, an expression product with a relative molecular mass of about 6 kDa was obtained in the supernatant, which was in line with the expected size. Bacteriostatic activity experiments showed that NK-LPd had strong bacteriostatic activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Compared with the parent peptides, the bacteriostatic activity of NK-LPd was significantly enhanced. Conclusion: The hybrid antimicrobial peptide NK-LPd was designed and expressed in P. pastoris KM71, and its bacteriostatic activity was superior to that of the parent peptides. This study could provide technical reference for the design and production of novel hybrid antimicrobial peptides.

Abstract:
To evaluate the effects of different starter cultures and different fermentation substrates on the quality of fermented milk, the samples were prepared with Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (Ba) in co-cultures with traditional yogurt starter cultures (SL), and the acidification profile, viable bacteria count, water-holding capacity, proteolytic activity, rheological property, physical stability, microstructure, volatiles and sensory characteristic of fermented cow milk, fermented yak milk and fermented milk mixtures of cow to yak milk ratios of 1:1 were investigated. The results showed that for the same fermentation substrates, Ba-SL significantly improved the acidification property and viable bacteria count of fermented milk (P<0.05), and increased the proteolytic activity of fermented cow milk, yak milk and mixed milk at the first day by 0.026, 0.025 and 0.016 compared with SL alone, respectively. Furthermore, Ba-SL improved the gel network structure, volatiles, and sensory quality of fermented milk. However, the co-cultures of Ba-SL had no significant effect on the physical stability of fermented milk (P>0.05). Ba-SL significantly enhanced the water-holding capacity of fermented cow milk and fermented mixed milk (P<0.05), and there was a higher water-holding capacity in fermented mixed milk in comparison to fermented cow milk and fermented yak milk during the whole refrigeration period, with the largest values of water-holding capacity being 45.68% on the 7 d. SL starter in conjunction with Ba increased the viscoelasticity of fermented yak milk, but decreased the viscoelasticity of fermented cow milk and fermented mixed milk compared to the single-culture of SL. For the same starter cultures, the acidification property, viable bacteria count, physical stability, and sensory score of fermented cow milk were significantly higher than those of the other groups (P<0.05), and the viscoelasticity of fermented yak milk was the highest among the fermented milk. The water-holding capacity of fermented mixed milk was significantly higher than those of the other groups throughout the refrigeration period (P<0.05), and the gel network structure and key volatiles of fermented mixed milk was the densest and more diverse among the three fermented milk, while the proteolytic activity of fermented mixed milk was between fermented cow milk and fermented yak milk. This study suggested that Ba in co-culture with SL could improve the quality of fermented milk, and both of cow milk and mixtures of cow and yak milk were more suitable to prepare fermented milk compared to yak milk.

Abstract:
The taste and flavor of fermented vinegars are closely related to the fermentation microorganisms. In order to investigate the vertical distribution of bacterial community in the acetic acid fermentation stage of Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar, and to investigate the enrichment effect of different media on the culturable bacteria from Cupei. In this study, the bacterial diversity of Cupei and enriched culture samples were determined by high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that the number of OTUs in the surface, middle and bottom Cupei samples were 66, 76 and 111, respectively. The dominant bacterium in the surface layer was Acetobacter, while the dominant bacterium in the middle and bottom layers was Lactobacillus. The richness and diversity of bacterial flora became more abundant and diverse with the depth of fermentation. Meanwhile, high-throughput sequencing after enrichment showed that the oligotrophic medium enriched higher bacterial diversity than the nutrient-rich medium. This study revealed that there were differences in bacterial diversity in different depths of Cupei. And it also proposed an oligotrophic medium for bacterial isolation to make isolation of fermentation microorganisms from Cupei more efficient.

Abstract:
The Penicillium expansum produces a toxic secondary metabolite, patulin. The PatC gene encodes the MFS transport protein, and transports the patulin precursor substance to the extracellular space, ultimately forming PAT. This has high reference value in the prevention of patulin. In order to study the transport mechanism of the PatC, the spatial structure of the PatC was predicted by using bioinformatics methods, and the interaction site and possible mechanism of E-ascladiol and the PatC were analyzed by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. The results showed that the gene encoded 546 amino acids, containing 14 transmembrane helix and MFS functional domains. The molecular docking results showed that the protein had 4 binding sites with the E-ascladiol, namely SER353, TYR336, PRO339, and PRO188. Molecular dynamics simulations of 200 ns were performed for the Wild protein complex system and the P188A mutant system. The results showed that the small molecule substrate and the PatC were tightly bound, and that the protein's flexibility changed strongly after forming a complex in the Pro188~Ser197aa and Gly231~Val241aa regions. It could be inferred that these two regions might have functional sites. By analyzing the parameter data of the P188A mutant system, it could be predicted that PRO188 was an important target of the PatC protein, which could provide a basis for subsequent molecular experiments. The results of the research could lay the foundation for exploring the transport mechanism of patulin, and provide new strategies for the prevention of apple rot.

Abstract:
To optimize the micro-water degumming process, this study investigated the effects of different processing techniques including mechanical peeling degumming+sun drying (A), mechanical peeling degumming+heat pump drying (B), manual peeling+heat pump drying (C), mechanical peeling degumming+water soaking degumming+heat pump drying (D), and manual peeling+water soaking degumming+heat pump drying (E) on the content of aroma precursors (protein and crude fat), taste-producing substances (caffeine, chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid), and volatile substances in green coffee beans. The results showed that compared to the manual peeling degumming+heat pump treatment group, the mechanical peeling degumming+heat pump drying group exhibited a significantly increased chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid contents in raw coffee beans, a significantly decreased (P<0.05) protein content with the increase in pectin residue (P<0.05). The content of crude fat and caffeic acid in raw coffee beans significantly higher in the mechanical peeling degumming+water soaking degumming+heat pump drying treatment group than in the mechanical peeling degumming+heat pump drying treatment group (P<0.05). Chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid contents in raw coffee beans were significantly higher in the mechanical peeling degumming+heat pump drying treatment group than in the mechanical peeling degumming+sun-drying treatment group (P<0.05). The contents of protein, crude fat, and caffeine in green coffee beans were lower in manual peeling+heat pump drying (C) and manual peeling+water soaking degumming+heat pump drying (E). The protein content in green coffee beans was the highest (13.71%) in mechanical peeling degumming+water soaking degumming+heat pump drying(D), and its crude fat content was only second (9.84%) to mechanical peeling degumming+sun drying (A). According to the overall score of quality indicators from high to low, the 5 treatment groups were ranked as D>B>A>E>C. The PCA score plot grouped samples B and D into one quadrant, and the samples in other treatment groups were located in different quadrants, which indicated a relatively small difference in the quality of raw coffee beans between the mechanical peeling degumming+heat pump drying group and mechanical peeling degumming+water soaking degumming+heat pump drying treatment group, while the difference in quality of raw coffee beans among the other treatment groups was dramatic. The analysis results of the relative content of volatile substances showed that raw coffee beans in the manual peeling+water soaking degumming+heat pump drying treatment group contained more main flavor compounds such as n-octadecane (4.80 µg/g), damascenone (1.85 µg/g), dibutyl phthalate (20.28 µg/g) than those in the mechanical peeling degumming+water soaking degumming+heat pump drying treatment group (1.63, 0.94, 4.07 µg/g), and compounds in raw coffee beans exhibited an overall decreasing trend with decreasing pectin residues. Taken together, rich flavor could be obtained from green coffee beans by taking advantage of pectin, and the optimal comprehensive quality could be obtained from the micro-water degumming process, namely, mechanical peeling degumming+water soaking degumming+heat pump drying. The findings would provide new perspectives for the processing of the Yunnan fine coffee beans and fermented flavor coffee beans.

Abstract:
To improve the production process of meat products in the industrialization of Sichuan cuisine, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different vacuum frying temperature, frying time and slice thickness on moisture content, color, texture characteristics and sensory scores of pork belly slices, and to optimize the vacuum frying process conditions of pork belly slices using response surface combined with principal component analysis based on single-factor experiments and correlation analysis. The results showed that moisture content, a* value, b* value, hardness, and chewiness were more strongly correlated with 3 factors, namely, frying temperature, frying time, and slice thickness. The cumulative contribution rate of the first two principal components extracted in the principal component analysis was 82.822%, which could evaluate the quality of vacuum-fried pork belly slices to a certain extent. An optimal vacuum frying process for pork belly slices was achieved, where frying temperature 100 ℃, frying time 3 min, and slice thickness 3 mm. In this case, the standardized comprehensive score of pork belly slices was 0.931, and a standard deviation from the predicted value was 0.5%, indicating that the model could better predict the standardized comprehensive score of vacuum-fried pork belly slices. This process would provide a feasible method and a certain theoretical reference for the production of meat products in the industrialization of Sichuan cuisine.

Abstract:
In order to study the effect of compound lactic acid bacteria fermentation on reducing acid of sea buckthorn juice, the Oenococcus oeni and Lactobacillus brevis were used to ferment sea buckthorn juice. With the total acid degradation rate as the index, the fermentation process of sea buckthorn juice was optimized by single factor experiment and response surface experiment, and the changes of flavonoids, polyphenols, total acid, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), reducing sugar, organic acid and antioxidant activity during fermentation were studied. The results showed that the optimal fermentation conditions were as follows: The ratio of Oenococcus oeni to Lactobacillus brevis was 1:1, the initial pH was 3.7, fermentation temperature was 31 ℃, fermentation time was 18 h, inoculation amount was 5%. Under these conditions, the total acid degradation rate reached 38.52%. At this time, the contents of flavonoids, polyphenols, total acid, pH and TSS were significantly different from those before fermentation (P<0.05). The contents of flavonoids and polyphenols in sea buckthorn fermentation broth increased by 44.74% and 22.22%, respectively, compared with those before fermentation. The pH increased from 3.71 to 3.85, the total acid content decreased from 8.49 g/L to 5.22 g/L, the TSS content decreased by 20.29%, and the reducing sugar content did not change significantly (P>0.05). The content of malic acid in fermentation broth decreased significantly (P<0.05), the degradation rate was 94.59%, and the content of lactic acid increased significantly (P<0.05), reached 10.37 mg/mL. The changes of quinic acid, ascorbic acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid and citric acid were not significant (P>0.05). The maximum values of DPPH and ABTS+ free radical scavenging rate and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of sea buckthorn juice after lactic acid fermentation reached 78.20%, 64.48% and 1.1626 mmol/L, respectively. Therefore, the sea buckthorn juice fermented by compound lactic acid bacteria could effectively reduce its acidity and improve its quality and antioxidant activity, which would provide a theoretical basis for the development of acid-reducing technology and related products.

The yield of total flavonoids from Haloragis micrantha (Thunb.) R. Brown. was 28.61±0.05 mg/g. The total flavonoids of Haloragis micrantha (Thunb.) R. Brown. could effectively scavenge DPPH and ABTS+ free radicals. Within a certain range, the scavenging ability increased with the increasing of mass concentration, and the total flavonoids of Haloragis micrantha (Thunb.) R. Brown. had high reducing power and better antioxidant activity. The total flavonoids of Haloragis micrantha (Thunb.) R. Brown. had the strongest ability to scavenge ABTS+ free radicals.

The results showed that the optimum extraction conditions for PSMF were 1:15 g/mL, 50 ℃, 70% ethanol volume fraction, 30 min, (240.28±2.25) μg/mL of PSMF extraction amount. The PA membrane had a better separation effect, and the composite membrane had a better purification effect on PSMF, and the water solubility of flavonoids was increased to more than 90% after separation. After calcination at 800 ℃, the residual mass of the raw material solution was 1.43% and that of the PA membrane separation was 0.76%, and the BTESE/PA composite membrane was reduced to 0.26%, with fewer impurities and higher purity. Comparing its antioxidant activity before and after separation, the ·OH, DPPH· scavenging rate and reducing power were improved after separation, and the O2· scavenging rate decreased from 79.94% to 64.82%. In this study, the active components in peony seed meal were analyzed. PSMF would be a novel phytoflavonoid resource with rich composition and certain research space.

Abstract:
To improve the solubility of the walnut protein, it was modified through glycosylation. The preparation process of the walnut protein isolate-inulin conjugate was optimized by single-factor and response surface tests. To determine the structural and functional properties of walnut isolated proteins-inulin conjugate, infrared spectra, endogenous fluorescence spectra, solubility and emulsification properties were studied. Results showed that when the reaction temperature was 89 ℃, the reaction time was 75 min, the mass ratio of protein to sugar was 1:2, and the walnut protein isolate-inulin conjugate could reach a maximum solubility of 83%, which was 47% higher than that of walnut isolated protein. Fourier infrared spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy analyses showed that the walnut isolated protein and inulin were joined by covalent bonding, that their shape changed from scattered small granular particles into a sheet structure, and that their fluorescence intensity remarkably reduced. Compared with walnut isolate protein, the foamability and foam stability of walnut protein isolate-inulin conjugate increased by 49% and 23%, respectively, and the emulsification index increased by 17%. These results indicate that protein modification through glycosylation improved the structure and properties of the products. This paper would provide a new method for the processing and utilisation of walnut isolate protein and broadening the field of walnut protein processing and utilization.

In order to optimize the process conditions for the preparation of waxy rice resistant starch by ultrasonic annealing method, this study took the content of resistant starch as an index, and based on the single factor experiment, the response surface analysis method was used to explore the effects of water content, ultrasonic time, annealing temperature and annealing time on the content of resistant starch, and the physicochemical properties of the prepared resistant starch were analyzed. The results showed that the optimum conditions were as follows: Water content 68%, ultrasonic time 23 min, annealing temperature 55 ℃, annealing time 25 h. Under these conditions, the content of resistant starch was 45.61%±0.95%. Compared with original starch, the transparency of waxy rice resistant starch increased by 38.19%, and the solubility at 90 ℃ increased from 6.03% to 52.45%, while the swelling power decreased from 41.04 g/g to 6.38 g/g. Under scanning electron microscope, the surface morphology of resistant starch changed significantly, which showed that it was a rough structure with many holes. Fourier infrared spectroscopy showed that ultrasonic annealing promoted the generation of short-range ordered structures of starch. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that the enthalpy of resistant starch increased by 5.05 J/g after ultrasonic annealing, and X-ray diffraction analysis displayed that the crystalline shape was changed and the crystallinity of resistant starch was improved. This study provided a reference for the industrial production of waxy rice resistant starch.

Abstract:
A method for the determination of 10 tetracycline antibiotics in fruit products and meat sauce was established by QuEChERS coupled with ultra performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The optimal experimental conditions were determined by optimizing the mass spectrometric parameters, chromatographic conditions and pre-treatment techniques. The samples were extracted by 0.2% formic acid acetonitrile under ultrasonication, and then purified with PSA for fruit products and C18 for meat sauce. The target analytes were separated on a ZORBAX SB-Aq column (2.1 mm×150 mm, 3.5 μm), and detected by UPLC-MS/MS. The results demonstrated that the 10 tetracycline antibiotics showed good linearity in the respective linear range with the correlation coefficients (r) higher than 0.999. The limits of detection (S/N=3) were 0.09~3.92 μg/kg, and the limits of quantification (S/N=10) were 0.31~13.05 μg/kg. The average recoveries at three different spiked levels of 75, 300 and 750 μg/kg ranged from 70.0% to 101.0% with the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.0%~10.3% (n=7). The method is sensitive, simple and suitable for the rapid and simultaneous detection of 10 tetracycline antibiotics in fruit products and meat sauce.

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to investigate the variations of optical properties during the progression of black spot disease and select the characteristic wavelengths for disease detection. The optical absorption and scattering properties were measured on winter jujubes using a single integrating sphere detection system in the band range of 900~1650 nm combined with inverse adding-doubling (IAD) algorithm in this study. The characteristic wavelengths were obtained depending on the correlation analysis between optical properties absorption and physicochemical indicators. Finally, the effectiveness of characteristic wavelengths was verified using near-infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that a* and weight loss increased with storage time, while L*, soluble solids content and chlorophyll showed a consistent decrease. Both the absorption coefficient (μa) and the reduced scattering coefficient (μs') of the winter jujubes showed a significant downward trend with the development of black spot disease. The μa and μs' curves were highly correlated with disease extent (spot area) and some quality indicators (weight loss, L*, a*, soluble solids content and chlorophyll) in the 1400~1650 and 900~1360 nm, respectively. The discriminant models built based on the 10 characteristic variables selected by optical properties performed best compared with the models based on full wavelengths and algorithm-based characteristic wavelengths, with an overall accuracy of 92.53% and 92.35% for the calibration and prediction set, respectively. This study demonstrated the potential of the short- and mid-wave infrared optical signal in the disease detection on winter jujubes and the effectiveness of characteristic wavelengths on the basis of optical properties.

Abstract:
To explore the quality evaluation indicators of roasted macadamia nut kernels and establish a quality evaluation system, 21 samples of macadamia nuts roasted by different temperature and time duration were selected to determine with 16 quality indicators which included in browning index, moisture, total phenolic content, ABTS+ free radical scavenging activity ratio, acid value, peroxide value, hardness, fracture force, shear force and 7 sensory evaluations. These 16 indicators were comprehensively explored by correlation analysis, principal component analysis and cluster analysis to screen the critical indicators of quality evaluation for roasted kernels in macadamia nuts. As indicated by the research findings, with the augment of roasting temperature and time duration, the indicators including moisture, hardness, fracture force, shear force and sensory evaluation of hardness exhibited downturn trends, but the browning index, acid value, peroxide value, and the sensory evaluation of color, aroma, sweetness, bitterness, crispness, overall preference took on an overall upward trend. Aside from that, the total phenolic content and ABTS+ free radical scavenging activity ratio displayed changing trends of initial augment and subsequent reduction. As demonstrated by the results of correlation analysis on 16 indicators, 11 pairs of indicators had remarkable correlation (P<0.05) and 66 pairs of indicators had extremely noticeable correlation (P<0.01). There was a striking positive correlation between browning index and color, aroma, crispness, bitterness in sensory evaluation and a marked positive correlation between moisture and hardness, fracture force, shear force. What’s more, overall preference was positively associated with browning index, total phenolic content and ABTS+ free radical scavenging ratio, and was negatively linked to hardness, fracture force and shearing force. Furthermore, overall preference was also positively associated with color, aroma, sweetness and crispness in sensory evaluation. The roasted kernels with 130 ℃/30 min obtained the highest comprehensive score in principal component analysis, which indicating the best comprehensive quality in all samples. Meanwhile, by combining with cluster analysis, moisture, browning index, hardness, ABTS+ free radical scavenging activity ratio, acid value and peroxide value were determined as the critical indicators to evaluate the quality of roasted kernels in macadamia nuts. The research findings in this paper would provide a certain theoretical basis and scientific reference for the quality evaluation and processing of roasted kernels in macadamia nuts.

Abstract:
In this study, the nutritional and flavor components of the fruit bodies of 10 Pleurotus pulmonarius strains were analyzed and the results would provide a certain theoretical basis for the development, utilization and deep processing of Pleurotus pulmonarius. The apple sawdust and corn cob were used as substrates for cultivation of 10 strains of Pleurotus pulmonarius (5 strains collected in the field and 5 commercial cultivation strains), and the crude protein, total sugar, hydrolyzed amino acids, mineral elements, γ-aminobutyric acid and other nutrients as well as free amino acids and 5'-nucleotides and other flavor substances of their fruit bodies were determined. And then the protein nutrition were evaluated by comparative analysis of the amino acid score (AAS), chemical score (CS), amino acid ratio coefficient (RC), essential amino acid index (EAAI) and score ratio coefficient amino acid (SRCAA). The results showed that the crude protein in the fruit bodies of the 10 tested Pleurotus pulmonarius strains was between 30.00 and 36.07 g/100 g. The total sugar content was between 31.10% and 47.63%. The γ-aminobutyric acid content was between 249.64 and 485.34 mg/kg. The minerals were rich. And the essential amino acids were rich and balance, especially rich in lysine. The nutritional value of Pleurotus pulmonarius was closed to the nutritional level required by the human body, suggesting it was a good protein source and the nutritional value of the commercial strains were significant super to the wild ones. Comprehensive comparison of 10 test strains found that the index differences among 5 commercial cultivated strains were small and the quality was generally high, among which PL9 showed the best performance, and its protein nutritional value and EUC value were significantly higher than those of the other 4 strains. The difference among the 5 wild strains was significant, and some strains showed a high content of a single nutrient.

Abstract:
The volatile substances among Malus toringoides (Rehd.) Hughes black tea, green tea and Kang brick tea were detected by electronic nose (E-nose), trap head space-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS Trap GC-MS) and the differences of the volatile substances were analyzed by orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), relative odor activity value (ROAV) and differential thermography in order to explore the odor differences of Malus toringoides (Rehd.) Hughes teas with three different processes. Result showed that E-nose could effectively distinguish three kinds of Malus toringoides (Rehd.) Hughes teas, and the prediction ability of the model established by E-nose combined with OPLS-DA was 95.70%. GC-MS analysis showed that aldehydes, esters and hydrocarbons were the main volatile substances, while alcohols were the main common volatile substances of black tea and green tea. The differences in the contents of aldehydes, esters, hydrocarbons and alcohols account for the variations in the aroma of Malus toringoides (Rehd.) Hughes teas produced by different processes. ROAV value combined with aroma type analysis showed that the volatile components of fruit aroma had a relatively large contribution to the formation of the odor of Malus toringoides (Rehd.). Isovaleraldehyde might be the key aroma substance to Malus toringoides (Rehd.) Hughes teas. Differential thermogram analysis showed that trimethoxyester, isovaleraldehyde and 2-ethylfuran were the main common volatile substances in Malus toringoides (Rehd.) Hughes teas.

Abstract:
Headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and sensory evaluation were used to investigate the aroma characteristics of different dark tea products (Fu brick tea, Dark brick tea, Tibetan tea, Liupao tea, and Tianjian dark tea). Sensory evaluation results showed that the aroma characteristics of the five dark tea samples differed remarkably. Fungal and stale aromas were the major aroma profiles of Fu brick tea. Results showed that, Liupao tea had obvious persistent areca-like and stale aromas, Tibetan tea had a persistent stale aroma, and Dark brick tea exhibited a pure aroma feature. Furthermore, Tianjian dark tea showed a persistent smoked aroma. The following rank order of the score of the sensory evaluation in the five dark teas was observed: Tibetan tea (91.35) > Fu brick tea (90.15) > Dark brick tea (89.05) > Liupao tea (88.85) > Tianjian dark tea (86.33). A total of 56 volatile compounds were identified in the five dark teas. The composition and content of aroma components varied significantly among the different dark teas. Contents of the volatile compounds in the five dark teas with the following rank order: Fu brick tea (6355.30 μg/L) > Tibetan tea (5858.73 μg/L) > Dark brick tea (5789.71 μg/L) > Tianjian dark tea (4801.37 μg/L) > Liupao tea (3740.14 μg/L). Multivariate statistical analysis and odor activity values analyses showed that 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene was the characteristic volatile component of the stale aroma of Tibetan tea. (E,E)-2, 4-decadienal, (E,E)-2, 4-nonadienal, citral I, citral II, hexanal, and methyl salicylate contributed to the fungal aroma of Fu brick tea, while 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene was the key contributor to the stale aroma of Fu brick tea. In Liupao tea, (+)-cedrol was a major contributor to the areca-like aroma. (E,E)-2, 4-decadienal, (E,E)-2, 4-nonadienal, hexanal, and phytol were the main contributors to the pine-smoked aroma of Tianjian dark tea. The pure aroma of Dark brick tea was formed by the comprehensive action of many volatile components, including benzene ethanol, neroltertiary alcohol II, and oxidized linalool I. This study would provide a statistical basis for exploring the aroma quality of different types of dark teas.

Abstract(41) HTML(26) PDF(16)
Abstract:
In this study, the effects of storage at 4 ℃ for 0, 30 and 60 d on the phenolic content and browning key enzyme activities of fresh-cut yam during shelf life were investigated using 'Changshan fine hair yam' vegetable yam and 'Henan Wenxian' iron stick yam as test materials. The results showed that the browning index of both fresh-cut yams increased with the extension of shelf life, but with the extension of storage period, the browning index of vegetable yam was lower, while the browning index of iron stick yam was higher. At the 8th day of shelf period, the browning index of fresh-cut vegetable yam stored for 30 d was only 4.6% lower than that stored for 60 days, with no significant difference, while the browning index of fresh-cut iron stick yam for the same period was 8.4% lower than that stored for 60 days, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). Increase in respiration rate, ethylene release, lignin content, phenolics, chlorogenic acid, and browning key enzyme activities during the shelf life of fresh-cut iron stick yam as storage period and shelf life increased. However, the respiration rate and lignin content of fresh-cut yam decreased with the prolongation of storage period, the browning key enzyme activity showed a rising and then decreasing trend with the prolongation of storage period, and the phenolic substances increased in the late shelf stage, and other indicators were more consistent with the change pattern of iron stick yam. Further correlation analysis showed that the phenolic substances and enzyme activities in iron stick yam varied more with the storage time and were positively correlated with the browning index, while the browning index of vegetable yam varied with the storage time and was only positively correlated with the enzyme activity. In conclusion, vegetable yam was more suitable for fresh-cut processing, and the shelf-life of fresh-cut products can reach 8 days after 60 days of storage, while the shelf-life of fresh-cut product of iron stick yam was only 4 days after 60 d of storage.

Abstract(28) HTML(5) PDF(4)
Abstract:
To investigate the effects of different concentrations of antimicrobial peptide from marine Bacillus subtilis on the quality changes of freshly squeezed cucumber juice during the storage period (5 d) at room temperature. Sensory evaluation, physicochemical analysis (pH, stability coefficient, total sugar content, total bacteria count), and electronic nose technique (principal component analysis, radar plot, corresponding values of primary flavor components sensors) were used to comprehensively evaluate the effect of freshness preservation. The results showed that the concentration of antimicrobial peptide was positively correlated with various physicochemical indexes. And 2×MIC concentration of antimicrobial peptide had the best effect, with the highest sensory score (7.03), pH (4.97), stability factor (32.86%), total sugar content (5.11 mg/mL), and the best antibacterial effect (0.88 log CFU/mL). Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the flavor characteristics of cucumber juice in each antimicrobial peptide treatment group were similar, while the flavor characteristics of cucumber juice in the control group and the potassium sorbate treatment group were similar. The radar plot revealed that the flavor components of cucumber juice in each antimicrobial peptide treatment group increased at the later stage of storage (5th d), while the flavor components of cucumber juice in the control and potassium sorbate treatment groups remained unchanged basically during the storage period. The analysis of the response values of the flavor component sensors showed that the antibacterial peptide from Bacillus subtilis BBW1542 had a certain impact on the volatile flavor compounds in freshly squeezed cucumber juice. In conclusion, the preservation effect of antimicrobial peptide from B. subtilis BBW1542 was significantly better than that of the chemical preservative group (P<0.05). This study would provide a theoretical basis for the quality assurance of freshly squeezed cucumber juice in short-term storage and the development of marine microbial freshness preservatives.

Abstract:
In order to prepare a composite film with good mechanical properties and preservation properties, different bleached shellac/sodium alginate composite films were prepared by taking 1.5% sodium alginate as the base film solution, adding different concentrations of bleached shellac particle emulsion, and loading antioxidant tocopherol. Then the mechanical properties and permeability were compared, and the structure was characterized through FTIR spectroscopy analysis and SEM testing. The differences in preservation effects on cold fresh meat were also compared. The results showed that the composite film with 5% bleached shellac content had better properties, including mechanical properties, 37.37% reduction in transmittance and 43.00% increase in utraviolet ray barrier compared with PE film, and better CO2/O2 selectivity. And the microstructure characterization of the composite films were mutually confirmed with their performance. Using this film to pack chilled pork for preservation can effectively reduce the TVB-N content, drip loss, pH value and metmyoglobin content, and increase the shelf life to 9 days. This work has certain reference significance for the development of edible film and benefits for slowing down the spoilage of chilled pork during storage, protecting the color and taste of pork, and enhancing its nutritional value.

Abstract:
Edible fungi were rich in nutrients and were potential sources of high-quality protein. In this study, nutritional components such as moisture, ash, protein, total sugar and L-ergothione in 18 kinds of edible fungi were analyzed, and headspace solid phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) were used to analyze the fruit-body, mycelium and fermentation broth of 6 edible fungi (Lentinula edodes, Agaricus bisporus, Coprinus comatus, Pleurotus eryngii, Auricularia heimuer and Ganoderma lucidum). The results showed that the water content of 18 edible fungi ranged from 6.7 to 13.77 g/100 g, ash content from 2.24 to 10.9 g/100 g, fat content from 0.3 to 2.92 g/100 g and total sugar content from 2.11 to 10.5 g/100 g. The crude protein content of 18 edible fungi ranged from 7.88 to 35.87 g/100 g, among which the protein content of Agaricus bisporus was as high as 35.87 g/100 g. There was no significant difference in the content of other nutrients. The amino acids were rich and contained 8 kinds of essential amino acids necessary for human body. Principal component analysis showed that the amino acid composition ratio of Lentinula edodes, Auricularia heimuer, Grifola frondosa, Volvariella volvacea, and Flammulina velutipes was most similar to that of egg, but significantly different from that of meat, soybeans and wheat. The results of high performance liquid chromatography showed that Lentinula edodes was rich in ergothioneine, and the content was up to 336 mg/kg. The ergothioneine content of edible fungi such as Grifola frondosa, Morchella, Agaricus bisporus and Coprinus comatus were also higher than 100 mg/kg. A total of 34 volatile compounds, including aldehydes, ketones, esters, alcohols, phenols, ethers, alkanes and heterocyclic compounds, were identified by HS-SPME-GC-MS in 6 edible fungi. Ganoderma lucidum mycelium was rich in hexal, methylnonylketone, trans-2-octenal, 2-n-amylfuran, 2,4-nononadienal and other volatile compounds, which were significantly different from the other 17 samples. The flavor substances of the fermentation broth of the six edible fungi were similar, and all of them had special flavor substances such as ethyl heptanate and 18-crown-6. Pleurotus eryngii mycelium and the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum and Coprinus comatus contained butylated hydroxytoluene, methyl benzoate and other unique substances. This study provides data basis for the development of high value edible fungi by analyzing the nutritional components and flavor substances of common edible fungi.

Abstract:
Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the protective effects of Polygonatum sibiricum extract (PSE) on the important organs of D-galactose (D-gal)-induced aging mice and its potential molecular mechanisms. Methods: The mice were randomly divided into five groups (n=10): control group, D-gal (500 mg/kg) group, low-PSE dose (0.5 g/kg) group, medium-PSE dose (1 g/kg) group, and high-PSE dose (2 g/kg) group. The organ indices (thymus, spleen, liver, and kidney) were detected. The levels of creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), uric acid (UA), urea (UREA), creatinine (CREA), urea–creatinine ratio (BUN/Scr), and glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in serum were measured. Pathological changes in the skin, liver, kidney, heart, brain, and lung of mice in different groups were analyzed by HE and Masson staining. The expressions of p53, p16, p21, RB, HO-1, Nrf2, and Keap1 mRNA in the liver, kidney, heart, and brain of each group of mice were detected by real-time PCR. Results: The thymus, spleen, liver, and kidney indices were increased in each PSE treatment group compared with those in the D-gal group (P<0.05). Moreover, in each treatment group, PSE decreased (P<0.05) the levels of CK, CK-MB, ALT, AST, ALP, UA, UREA, CREA, and BUN/Scr in mouse serum and increased the level of eGFR (P<0.05). HE and Masson staining showed that PSE could reduce the pathological damage caused by D-gal to the vital organs of mice. Compared with the blank group, the model group presented increased expression levels of p53, p16, p21, RB, and Keap1 mRNA in the liver, kidney, heart, and brain (P<0.05) and decreased HO-1 and Nrf2 mRNA (P<0.05). Compared with the D-gal group, mice in each PSE treatment group exhibited decreased mRNA levels of p53, p16, p21, RB, and Keap1 in the liver, kidney, heart, and brain tissues (P<0.05) and increased mRNA levels of HO-1 and Nrf2 (P<0.05). Conclusion: PSE has anti-aging effects, and its mechanism may be related to its inhibition of the p53/p21, p16-RB, and Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathways.

Abstract:
Carbohydrates play a crucial role in the development of chronic diseases, and although research in this area is expanding, the precise definition of carbohydrate quality remains unclear. Currently, commonly utilized indicators encompass dietary fiber content, whole grain intake, free sugars intake and the glycemic index (GI). High-quality carbohydrate foods typically exhibit high dietary fiber content, consist of whole grain components, contain low levels of free sugars, and possess a low GI. The GI, in particular, directly influences the human blood sugar response and serves as a vital measure for describing carbohydrate quality. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the factors that influence the GI, focusing on three aspects: digestion and absorption, processing methods, and starch composition and structure. It further examines the GI values of various food sources. The rate of digestion and absorption, as well as diverse processing methods, can influence the GI. Additionally, the composition and structure of starch directly affect the GI. Amylose and amylopectin exhibit dissimilar structural compositions, with amylopectin containing more amylase binding sites than amylose, leading to a higher digestion rate. Consequently, foods with elevated amylose content tend to have relatively low GI values. Additionally, starch can be categorized into three types (A-type, B-type, and C-type) based on the crystal form of amylopectin present in the starch. Among these types, A-type starch is the most readily digestible, while B-type and C-type starch exhibit low GI characteristics due to their reduced digestibility. By studying the microstructure of starch, researchers can gain valuable insights into the influencing factors of the GI, thereby introducing a fresh perspective to the assessment of food carbohydrate quality.
