China Title: A nondestructive method for fish freshness determination with electronic tongue combined with linear and non-linear multivariate algorithms Abstract: Electronic tongue coupled with linear and non-linear multivariate algorithms was attempted to address the drawbacks of fish freshness detection. Parabramis pekinensis fish samples stored at 4°C were used. Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and total viable count (TVC) of the samples were measured. Fisher liner discriminant analysis (Fisher LDA) and support vector machine (SVM) were applied comparatively to classify the samples stored at different days. The results revealed that SVM model was better than Fisher LDA model with a higher identification rate of 97.22% in the prediction set. Partial least square (PLS) and support vector regression (SVR) were applied comparatively to predict the TVB-N and TVC values. The quantitative models were evaluated by the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and the correlation coefficient in the prediction set (Rpre). The results revealed that SVR model was superior to PLS model with RMSEP = 5.65 mg/100 g, Rpre = 0.9491 for TVB-N prediction and RMSEP = 0.73 log CFU/g, Rpre = 0.904 for TVC prediction. This study demonstrated that the electronic tongue together with SVM and SVR has a great potential for a convenient and nondestructive detection of fish freshness.

The proposed e-nose does not need any advanced or expensive laboratory equipment and proved to be reliable in recording meaningful differences between ripening stages. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Soft Independent Modelling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) techniques were used for this purpose. Results showed that the proposed e-nose can distinguish between different ripening stages. The e-nose was able to detect a clear difference in the aroma fingerprint of banana when using SVM analysis compared with PCA and LDA, SIMCA analysis. Using SVM analysis, it was possible to differentiate and to classify the different banana ripening stages, and this method was able to classify 98.66% of the total samples in each respective group. Sensor array capabilities in the classification of ripening stages using loading analysis and SVM and SIMCA were also investigated, which leads to develop the application of a specific e-nose system by applying the most effective sensors or ignoring the redundant sensors.

Moreover, the effect of lemon on these elements contents was also examined. Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used for these experiments on selected teas (2 g of tea infused in 100 ml of water). The maximum changes of elements concentrations after the lemon addition were as follows: Al 1077 µg/l in lemon tea; Ba 12560 µg/l in rosehip tea; Cd 183 µg/l in sage tea; Ni 1136 µg/l in fennel tea; and Pb 238 µg/l in lemon tea. Both As and Sb were below the detection limits in pure tea and lemon-infused teas. This study indicated that after the lemon addition, rosehip tea had a hazard index (HI) value of 10827 × 10-4 for 200 ml/day (2 cups/day), which represents a high risk for human health. If lemon is added to rosehip tea for consumption, 100 ml/day is recommended according to the calculated HI values.

An experiment was carried out in a cool climate wine region in Eger in the vintage of 2009. We have investigated the profile of phenolic contents in new wines and in aged wines. We have compared these wines in two ageing stages. The content of total polyphenols, anthocyanin, leucoanthocyanin, catechin, the colour intensity and hue were evaluated by a spectrophotometer. Stilbenes (SB) were identified and quantified by HPLC. The content of SB in new wines ranged from 0.44 mg/l to 2.25 mg/l. In aged wines the SB ranged from 0.05 mg/l to 3.12 mg/l. These compounds were influenced significantly by ageing. The positive health effects and the quality attributes of polyphenols would be important to obtain more information about the quality of wines from the nutritional point of view and from the wine processing aspect.

Highly artificially contaminated wheat was used to obtain flours with three contamination levels (DON 1615-398, T-2 toxin 927-160, and HT-2 toxin 258-38 μg/kg). Method for Test Baking of Wheat Flours (ICC Standard No.131) was used within the experiments for bread sample preparation. Various combinations of dough fermentation, proofing and baking times were used to prepare test breads. For determination of toxin levels in all tested matrices, HPLC-MS/MS method was employed. No substantial effect on DON levels was observed as a result of various conditions used for bread preparation and baking; maximum DON decrease 10%, compared to contaminated flour. On the other hand, significant changes in T-2/HT-2 toxin contents were found in experimental bread compared to contaminated flour; reduction of T-2 toxin concentration (30-50%) and increase of HT-2 toxin concentration (10-70%), respectively.

The influence of cooking time, temperature, and nuts/water mass ratio, drying time, and temperature on the content of free fatty acids, the peroxide value, as well as on the extraction yield was investigated. Results showed that both the free fatty acid content and the peroxide value were significantly affected by cooking and drying temperature; the cooking time and nuts/water ratio also affected significantly the peroxide value. Increasing cooking and drying temperature reduced the FFA content but contributed to increase the peroxide value. The cooking and drying temperature range of 75-80°C and < 54°C, respectively; cooking time of 70-100 min; drying time < 40 h, and cooking nuts/water mass ratio < 400 g/l of water were found to be optimum conditions for the extraction of shea butter.

Raw potato particulates were sliced to form cylinders and subjected to the deep-fat frying at isothermal temperatures of 160, 190, and 220°C. The microstructure properties were assessed by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The plot of the water content versus the frying time showed two distinct regions. A first-order kinetic model correlated with the two irreversible serial rate processes, rapid process and slow process, was hypothesised to describe the water loss during frying. The results showed the simultaneous two first-order kinetic models adequately predicted the water loss of potato particulates during isothermal frying. The effect of temperature on the rate constants, k1 and k2, for the two processes was adequately modelled by the Arrhenius relationship. The observations of structural changes on the surface and in the inner section of potato particulates are critical. These physical pieces of evidence support our assumption that the mechanisms of the water loss (two-stage rate processes) before and after the transition time are different.

Chemical properties were determined and changes in oxidative stability monitored. Oil samples were collected and analysed for the content of tocopherols and β-carotene. Degradation of nutrients depends on chemical composition of oils and storage conditions. It was found that the concentration of both antioxidants decreased in all the samples with the increase in storage time. According to the results, losses of total tocopherols and β-carotene in refined sunflower oils stored in transparent 5-l PET bottles and exposed to daylight at ambient temperature were found to be 52-64% and 63-65%, respectively. The country of origin had no statistically significant impact on the oxidative stability of stored sunflower oils.

China Title: Dual effects of whey protein isolates on the inhibition of enzymatic browning and clarification of apple juice Abstract: The inhibition was studied of enzymatic browning occurring in apple juice by whey protein isolates as compared to ascorbic acid and l-cysteine. A further comparison of different filter-aid pretreatments, such as whey protein isolates (WPI), pectinase and whey protein isolates - pectinase pretreatments, alone and combined with ultrafiltration was also made. The results indicated that WPI demonstrated a concentration-dependent inhibitory activity on polyphenoloxidase (PPO). At lower concentrations (0.005-0.01 g/l), the suppression effect of WPI on PPO activity was higher than that of both ascorbic acid and l-cysteine. WPI exhibited intermediate inhibition on PPO activity at the concentrations of 0.01-0.1 g/l, as compared to ascorbic acid and l-cysteine. The comparison of different clarification treatments suggested that WPI acted more effectively on clarification than pectinase. In addition, combined WPI-pectinase pretreatment significantly increased the clarity of apple juice, indicating a synergistic effect between WPI and pectinase. The subsequent ultrafiltration after WPI and pectinase pretreatments alone or combined could further improve the clarity and colour and reduce the turbidity of clear apple juice with non-significant influence on its typical characteristics.
