This study investigated the effects of pH (3, 5, 7, 9, 11) on the structure–activity relationship and stability mechanism of Pickering emulsions stabilized by the gorgon euryale starch–quinoa protein complex. Analyses were performed using...

This work investigated the comparative performance of two fluidized bed agglomeration systems for producing instant coconut milk powder: a commercially manufactured unit and a hybrid dryer previously modified into a fluidized bed agglomerator. Three...

Contamination of agricultural products such as maize by fungi is a significant concern worldwide, as it can compromise food safety and quality. In recent years, the use of microorganisms as natural food preservatives has gained interest. Probiotic la...

The present study aimed to model and optimize the fortification of corn-based extruded flips with quinoa flour to improve their nutritional, functional, and sensory quality while maintaining desirable technological properties. Corn flour was partiall...

Bee pollen (BP) is a nutritionally valuable natural product whose biological activity is strongly influenced by its amino acid profile. This study evaluated qualitative and quantitative changes in free amino acids in Lithuanian BP subjected to freezi...

Modern gastronomy strives to combine high-quality food with the preservation of nutritional value, microbiological safety, and the sustainable use of raw materials. With the development of culinary technologies, precise heat treatment methods are gai...

Sustainable extraction methods represent a key strategy in green chemistry and nutraceutical development, aiming to replace conventional solvent-based techniques while maintaining extract quality and safety. This study compared pistachio (Pistacia ve...

Rice flour, as an essential food ingredient, exhibits processing and end-use properties that are critically influenced by its particle size distribution (D10, D50, D90). This study systematically investigates the effect of varying particle size fract...

Fucoidan improves host health by enriching beneficial taxa such as Bacteroides and Parabacteroides, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study validated the association between these two genera and fucoidan-mediated mitigation of intest...

The composition and biological activity of bee pollen are strongly influenced by its botanical origin, which is determined by the regional flora and environmental conditions. In Algeria, despite the growing consumption and traditional use of bee prod...
