Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Food chemistry technology in the food system needs to be based on food industry innovation strategies. Nowadays, with increasing nutritional needs for health and wellbeing—considering not only technological changes but also social and environmental changes—food should be produced to satisfy nutritional, personal, and social needs and to minimize negative impacts on the environment and human health by reducing food waste from industry via the implementation of innovative technologies.

This Special Issue “The Development and Application of Food Chemistry Technology” will present innovation in the food industry and in food technology by providing research on food processing and the steps of food traceability, including primary and secondary processing, manufacturing, and distribution.

In this Special Issue, review papers and research in the field of development and application of new innovative food production technologies are expected to prioritize the nutritional needs of consumers, on the one hand, and meet food safety guidelines and prevent food production waste, on the other hand.

Food chemistry technology topics include the development and application of methods in the following areas:

  • Food composition analysis;
  • Novel technology approach;
  • Development of new analytical methods;
  • Food safety determination.

We hope that you will consider participating in this Special Issue.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marina Krpan
Guest Editor

Onion (Allium cepa L.) juice is an important product used in gastronomy and food formulations. The first objective of this study was to optimize the content of bioactive compounds in purple onion juice (POJ) after the thermosonication process using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) application models. Second, the anticancer, antibacterial, antihypertensive, and antidiabetic effects of POJ obtained after thermal pasteurization (P-POJ) or thermosonication (TS-POJ) were investigated after obtaining the ANN and RSM analysis reports. The optimization process for TS-POJ was carried out at 44 °C, for 13 min, with a 68% amplitude. The findings demonstrated that the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition level was greater in TS-POJ samples than in the untreated control (C-POJ) sample (p > 0.05). C-POJ, TS-POJ, and P-POJ exhibited the inhibition of cell proliferation in vitro in a dose-dependent manner in lung (A549), cervical (HeLa), and colon cancer cells following 24 h incubation. Thermosonication or thermal pasteurization did not markedly affect the cell proliferation of the examined cancer cells compared to the untreated control group. While no antibacterial effect was observed with low concentrations of samples, they showed an antibacterial effect at pure concentrations (100%). The thermosonication treatment for processing purple onion juice was successful in this study’s results. Full article
