Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The amount of food waste in the world, whether from agricultural production, industry or consumers, is increasing. Value-added products from waste are very important for foods sustainability. Food waste contains bioactive compounds (proteins, carbohydrates, antioxidants, and polyphenol) and dyes of interest as ingredients or additives. Natural ingredients used to preserve, enrich, and colour food from sustainable sources are wanted by consumers who are aware of the health benefits and impact of their food. Using waste as a functional ingredient is one way to increase the amount of available food, without increasing the energy used to produce it. Technological and nutritional interactions/changes can occur when new ingredients are used.

Asparagus production generates significant amounts of by-products during the summer and post-harvest growth period. By-products can be good sources of nutrients and phytochemicals. The interest in increasing the availability of proteins for human consumption has led to the use of new plant sources rich in proteins. The objective of this study was to use response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize the aqueous extraction process of proteins from asparagus leafy by-products, for the production of new protein ingredients. The optimum extraction condition was at pH 9, with 40 min of extraction at 50 °C, and the concentration was fixed at 5 g·L−1. The isolate obtained presented 90.48% protein with 43.47% protein yield. Amino acids such as alanine, proline, valine, leucine/isoleucine, asparagine, and phenylalanine were identified, and the antioxidant activity for 2,2 AZINO BIS (3-ethylbenzo thiazoline 6 sulfonic acid diammonium salt) was 145.76 equivalent to Trolox μmol.100g−1 and for DPPH 65.21 equivalent to Trolox μmol.100g−1. The product presented favorable technological properties (water absorption capacity 4.49 g·g−1 and oil absorption capacity 3.47 g·g−1) and the color tended towards dark green (L* 31.91, a* −1.01, b* −2.11). The protein isolate obtained through the extraction optimization process showed high potential to be used as a protein ingredient. Full article

The potential enhancement of the protein content in bakery products is studied by adding fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) flour in varying proportions (1.5%, 3%, 4.5%, and 6%) within the production recipe. The mixtures of wheat flour and FPH obtained were comprehensively analysed using Mixolab equipment, evaluating the nutritional, rheological, and enzymatical aspects. The results underscore the substantial potential of FPH as a high-quality protein source evidenced by its polyphenol content and antioxidant value. Moreover, the utilisation of hydrolysed proteins from fish emerges as a viable strategy for reducing the water footprint in food production. Thus, FPH flour showed a protein content of 80.21%, a polyphenol content of 1452 mg GAE/100 g, and an antioxidant activity of 294 mg TE/100 g. While the bread samples made from wheat flour mixed with FPH exhibited a satisfactory rheological behaviour, the presence of an aftertaste and the pronounced fish aroma impacted consumer acceptance. Notably, only the bread sample with 1.5% added FPH met the organoleptic preferences of the consumers, receiving a commendable total acceptability score of 6.2. Additionally, this sample demonstrated favourable results in texture analysis and exhibited an extended shelf life compared to that of the control sample. Full article
