This study aimed to create a unique WPI film formulation that would help maintain strawberry quality. Therefore, an edible coating from WPI was developed, and its physical, mechanical, and rheological characteristics were analysed. WPI is a biopolyme...

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) remains a severe health issue in sub-Saharan Africa, causing blindness, illness, and child mortality. In Mozambique, about 69% of children under five are affected, highlighting the short-term impact and donor dependence of...

Amidst the urgent demand for sustainable alternatives to petrochemical plastics, this work incorporated oregano essential oil Pickering emulsion (AOPE; stabilizer: acetylated chitin nanocrystals (a-ChNCs)) into the gelatin matrix. Through precisely e...

This study established an optimized process for obtaining anti-aging peptides from Pleurotus eryngii mushroom feet (PEMFPeps). Using response surface methodology, high yields of protein (51.31 ± 3.00%) and peptides (48.71 ± 0.17% hydrol...

To enhance the systematicity and integrity of mushroom resource research by supplementing the mushroom germplasm bank through the collection of wild mushroom specimens, this project focused on a wild mushroom strain collected from Tibet Autonomous Re...

Polyphenols are widely studied phytochemicals with well-known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They are commonly present in fruits, vegetables, and plant-based foods. Beyond these classical roles, growing evidence shows that polyphenol-d...

This study systematically investigates the effects of enzyme type (Alcalase, Trypsin, Protamex) on the properties of rice peptide nanoparticles (RPNs) and their efficacy in stabilizing high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). RPNs prepared with Alcalas...

Food insecurity (FI) is a major public health problem that disproportionately affects women, especially if they are migrants. In Chile, there is limited data on how gender and migration status intersect to explain vulnerability to FI. A cross-section...

Bulgurs with increased resistant starch (RS) contents were produced from high-amylose wheat and Svevo wheat samples by pullulanase treatment and autoclaving–cooling cycles. Cooking properties, color, texture, phenolic content, antioxidant capac...

Microplastic contamination in seafood has emerged as a significant concern for public health and food safety. Bivalve molluscs are especially vulnerable because of their filter-feeding behaviour, leading to the accumulation of different substances in...
