One of the major alterations that limit the shelf-life of these products is browning caused by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity on phenolic compounds. Six yellow-flesh peach cultivars, Spring Lady, Royal Glory, Ruby Rich, Summer Rich, Ryan Sun, and O'Henry, were selected. Peaches were hygienised and then samples were processed in a clean room. Slices were washed in cold tap water, dried, packaged in modified atmosphere, and stored at 4°C during 9 days; physicochemical and other quality parameters were studied. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and correlation study were carried out in order to evaluate the relation between variables and cultivars. In conclusion, Spring Lady, Royal Glory, and Ruby Rich cultivars were the cultivars that offered the most suitable fruits for fresh-cut processing, mainly due to their low BP and PPO activity.

Five different factors were tested, namely the form of starter, inoculum, temperature of fermentation, time of fermentation, and enhanced non-fat dry matter or addition of whey protein concentrate. Out of them, optimal conditions were chosen for the preparation of fermented milk beverage with ABT culture (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium sp., Streptococcus thermophilus) with a lowered content of d(-)-lactic acid. The inoculum of bifidobacteria had the only significant effect on the ratio between lactic acid isomers. When 1% v/w used, the ratio of d(-)-lactic acid to l(+)-lactic acid was 0.05. When 5% v/w used, the ratio was 0.02. The addition of dried skimmed milk (max. effect at 12% w/w) enhanced the growth of bifidobacteria, while whey protein concentrate was effective for the growth of lactobacilli. The optimal temperature and time of cultivation were 37°C and 17 ± 0.5 h, respectively.

Among them, strain C8 showed strongly antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and Escherichia coli ATCC 8739. Strain C8 was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum based on phenotypical, physiological tests and 16S rDNA identification. The antibacterial substance produced by strain C8 was sensitive to protease but not affected by lipase and amylase and designated as bacteriocin C8. Bacteriocin was purified by salting-out, dialysis and Sephadex G50 column chromatography. Based on SDS-PAGE, bacteriocin C8 was 16.5 kDa in size, which was different from that of other bacteriocins and it might be a novel bacteriocin. Bacteriocin C8 showed a wide range of antimicrobial activity especially as it inhibited some Gram-negative bacteria. This bacteriocin was heat resistant (20 min at 121°C) and stable in the pH range of 3 to 6.

Cooking was found to reduce the level of furan in ready-to-eat foods, however on average around 50% of furan remain in the foods. The analysis of furan occurrence revealed that it is most commonly formed in foods with high levels of carbohydrates. Interestingly, breakfast cereals, dry bread products, and dried fruit products including raisins, plums and bananas contained furan at levels up to 387 µg/kg. Furan was also found in the dry ingredients of cookies and bread, and in snacks such as crisps and popcorn. The 2-alkylfurans, 2-methylfuran, 2,5-dimethylfuran, 2-ethylfuran, and 2-pentylfuran were present at levels in the same range as furan (885 µg/kg) and the level of 2-methylfuran (1328 µg/kg) exceeded this level in coffee.

China Title: A novel sorbent for solid-phase extraction coupling to high performance liquid chromatography for the determination of olaquindox in fish feed Abstract: A new and hydrophilic molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) selective for olaquindox was prepared by bulk polymerisation using methacrylic acid as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinker. The synthesised polymer was characterised by Fourier-transform infrared and static adsorption experiments. Results showed that the MIP had good recognition and selective ability for olaquindox. A novel method based on molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was developed for the separation and determination of trace olaquindox in feed samples. Under selected experimental conditions, the detection limit (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) was 42.2 ng/g, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) for five replicate extractions of 50 µg/l olaquindox was 4.9%. The method provided high recoveries ranging from 89.8% to 93.1% at three spiked levels with < 5% RSDs. This method was successfully applied for the analysis of olaquindox in feed.

Quince samples were dried in an oven dryer at three different temperatures (40, 50, and 60°C). Several shape, texture, and colour features of the quince slices were extracted from the images. Gradual reduction was observed in all morphological features when the moisture content of the samples decreased. Regression equations between the extracted features and moisture content of the quince slices were investigated. The moisture content prediction equations based on morphological features were more precise than the textural features while colour information did not yield any satisfactory result. To exploit the morphological and textural features simultaneously, several artificial neural network models were developed to predict the drying behaviour of quince. R2 and RMSE values were determined as 0.998, 0.008%. It was concluded that the combination of the neural networks and image processing technique has the potential to determine the moisture variations.

The lower AG content allows the production of final products that do not cause flatulence. To enable us to control the final consistency and other sensory parameters of soya yoghurts, it was necessary to study the influence of the dry matter content on these quality parameters, i.e. the yield stress, appearance, flavour, taste, soya off-flavour, consistency, and overall impression. Establishing the relationships between the dry matter content and qualitative parameters allowed for an easy prediction of the optimal amount of dry matter to maximise soya yogurt quality from the sensory perspective. The optimum amount of dry matter was found to be 6.5%.

Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the Zagreb vineyard hills, north-western Croatia, were subjected to three crop removal treatments [cluster thinning (CT), berry thinning (BT), CT+BT, and untreated control] in a randomised block design experiment. CT and CT+BT treatments reduced the grape yield but increased the mean cluster weight compared to control vines. BT alone had a little effect on the yield components. Control grapes generally had the lowest soluble solids (°Oe) and highest titratable acidity (g/l). In most cases, control wines had the lowest total phenols, flavan-3-ols, and anthocyanin concentrations, while CT+BT treatment had the highest ones followed by CT treatment. It was concluded that CT+BT produced wines with generally increased total phenols, flavan-3-ols, and anthocyanins, as well as many individual phenolic compounds. Thus, grape yield per vine seems to be strongly connected with the grape and wine compositions. The final cost-effectiveness of this canopy interventions still remains questionable.

The starter was added to milk containing 0.8, 1.6, and 2.8% milk fat, at fermentation temperature of 37, 40, and 43°C. The fermentation process was terminated when the pH reached 4.5. Antioxidant activities to DPPH and hydroxyl radicals, the contents of MUFAs, PUFAs, vitamin C, and sensory mark, were monitored using the response surface methodology (RSM) and the method of desired function. Kombucha fermented milk products containing wild thyme (WT) showed opposite antioxidant response to DPPH and hydroxyl radicals in terms of milk fat. Optimum processing conditions for WT products in terms of antioxidant activity were: milk fat 2.78% and process temperature 37°C. In order to obtain WT products with a high sensory mark, these conditions are completely different (milk fat 1.10% and process temperature 43°C).

The average moisture value of the researched samples was 35.4%. A comparative research was conducted applying simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The analysis characterised corn grains after three and six months of storage in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The yield of ethanol fermentation was 42.43 and 39.12 l/100 kg dry matter after three and six months of storage, respectively. The storage of moist grain resulted in the reduction of higher alcohols content in the raw spirits. It was observed that the esters concentration decreased after three, but increased after six months of raw material storage. A significant increase occurred in the quantity of aldehydes detected only after three months of the corn storage. The results show that the application of SSF technology to moist corn, allows the production of bioethanol with quality comparable to that obtained with dried grain.

The investigated characteristics were fat uptake, fatty acid (FA) composition, and oxidation. Four different fats were used and fillets were fried plain or battered. The fillet fat content increased during frying and FA composition in the fillets reflected the composition of the frying fat. Frying with sunflower oil negatively influenced the nutritional value by decreasing the n-3/n-6 ratio in the fillets. Frying with rapeseed oil preserved the favourable n-3/n-6 ratio without increasing the saturated fatty acids (SFA). Frying with lard and butter preserved the n-3/n-6 ratio but increased the SFA content. No increased oxidation occurred with the use of rapeseed oil. We concluded that using rapeseed oil for fish seemed to preserve the nutritionally valuable composition best.

Another goal of this study was to compare the activity of mitochondrial enzyme aconitase in meat under different storage conditions. Despite the theory, the detected enzyme was despite the theory also found in the exudate of fresh meat. However, comparing the enzyme activity measured in fresh meat towith that measured in thawed meat, it is obvious that the enzyme activity in frozen/thawed meat is significantly higher. It was further found that the values of aconitase activity also vary in different anatomical parts of chicken meat.

China Title: Relationship between intrinsic viscosity, thermal and retrogradation properties of amylose and amylopectin Abstract: The relationships between intrinsic viscosity and some properties of amylose and amylopectin were investigated. The intrinsic viscosities determined by Ubbelohde viscometer for rice, maize, wrinkled pea and potato amyloses were 46.28 ± 0.30, 123.94 ± 0.62, 136.82 ± 0.70, and 167.00 ± 1.10 ml/g, respectively; and the intrinsic viscosities of rice, maize, wrinkled pea and potato amylopectins were 77.28 ± 0.90, 154.50 ± 1.10, 162.56 ± 1.20 and 178.00 ± 1.00 ml/g, respectively. The thermal and retrogradation properties of amylose and amylopectin were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Results showed that the thermal enthalpy (ΔHg) was positively correlated with intrinsic viscosity, however, the onset and peak temperatures were not related to the intrinsic viscosity. The amylose and amylopectin retrogradation enthalpy values were negatively related to intrinsic viscosity, while the onset and peak temperature values of retrograded amylose and amylopectin were not related to the intrinsic viscosity during storage (except one-day storage). Furthermore, the onset and peak temperatures and retrogradation enthalpy of amylose and amylopectin changed slowly during storage at 4°C.
