This study examined how visual attention to specialty coffee label elements relates to consumers’ stated purchase intention. A total of 105 regular specialty coffee consumers viewed the front and back panels, simultaneously, of six commercially...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different pretreatment methods on the yield and chemical composition of Nigella sativa L. (i.e., black cumin) cold-pressed oil. Different pretreatment methods used included convection heating, microwave, ul...

Background/Objectives: Excessive smartphone use may negatively affect cognitive functions, including attention. While sensorimotor rhythm, beta, and theta waves have been linked to concentration, the electroencephalography (EEG) frequency band that m...

Myofibrillar protein (MP) aggregation in solutions with NaCl concentrations below 0.3 M results in poor solubility. Ultrasound-assisted glutaminase treatment (UGT) was applied to improve MP solubility in a low-salt solution (containing 0.1 M NaCl). T...

This study evaluated whether the volatile profile of methyl linoleate (MLO) can predict its pro-inflammatory capacity. MLO was subjected to two oxidation conditions simulating ambient storage and high-temperature frying. Free radicals, volatile compo...

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) present a promising alternative to toxic inorganic selenium salts, yet the differential bioactivity between their allotropic forms—amorphous red (RSeNPs) and crystalline grey (GSeNPs)—is not fully determined...

Probiotics have been studied for their potential to treat chronic diseases. This study examined the use of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus BST.L-601 as an anti-diabetic symbiotic with sweet potato for fermentation. The medium supplemented with sweet pot...

Double-round bottom fermentation (DRBF) represents an important technological innovation in strong-flavor Baijiu production, yet the microbial succession and metabolic mechanisms underlying this process remain insufficiently understood. In this study...

The solubility and rheological properties of high-molecular-weight xanthan gum (XG) are crucial to its functional performance and determine its applications. Ultrasound modifies these properties mainly by altering acoustic propagation in viscous syst...

The effect of active packaging on maintaining the quality of cherry tomatoes and kale during storage was investigated. The active packaging consisted of kraft paper sheets coated with thymol/eugenol (50:50) encapsulated in β-cyclodextrin. Cherry...
