A central composite design was used to optimize the spray drying process for developing cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) powder. The influence of inlet air temperature (Tinlet) (120-180 °C), feeding rate (Ffeed) (3-12 mL/min) and maltodextrin concentration (Cmalto) (10-40%) on the properties of moisture, water activity (aw), hygroscopicity, water solubility index (WSI), ascorbic acid (AA) and total phenolic compounds (TPC) were analyzed using response surface methodology and desirability function. In addition, powder morphology was assessed using scanning electron microscopy. The Tinlet and Ffeed parameters significantly influenced the moisture and aw, while the other responses (hygroscopicity, WSI, AA and TPC) were influenced by the Tinlet and Cmalto parameters. The highest Cmalto and intermediate Tinlet and Ffeed levels showed the best morphological characteristics (particles integrity, spheres shapes and smooth surfaces). The desirability function defined the optimal process conditions as Tinlet = 150 °C, Ffeed = 7.5 mL/min and Cmalto = 40%.In this research, biogenic amine content, acidity, pH values, total free amino acid content (TFAA), ash content, colour values (CIE L*, a*, b*), total phenolic compound content (TPCC) and antioxidant activity values of tarhana, which were fortified with pomegranate seed extract (PSE) in different ratios (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%) were evaluated during six months of storage. It has been evaluated that pomegranate seed extract causes increase on TPCC, ash content and antioxidant activity values. Putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine, spermine, histamine, tyramine were studied as biogenic amines. Standard addition and internal standard techniques were performed for quantification of biogenic amines. buy UNC 3230 Recovery rates were found between 87.0% and 94.6%. Total biogenic amine contents of tarhana samples decreased during the first two months of storage, remained constant and increased slightly for the next four months. It was found that, pomegranate seed extract causes decrease on biogenic amine content of tarhana samples. While the average total biogenic amine content in control group was 894.70 mg/kg, tarhana samples which were fortified with pomegranate seed extracts in ratios of 0.5%, 1%, 2% contained 569.67 mg/kg, 514.52 mg/kg, 424.60 mg/kg total biogenic amine, respectively.Coffee is one of the most important commodities worldwide. The industrial processing of coffee cherries generates a considerable volume of by-products such as wastewater, coffee pulp, mucilage, and husk. These by-products have sugars and nutrients that can be converted into value-added products via microbial action. In this study, for the first time, we evaluated the potential of coffee pulp and coffee wastewater as substrate for alcoholic fermentation produce a distilled beverage. The must composed by dry or wet coffee pulp and coffee wastewater added of commercial sucrose or sugarcane molasses was fermented by S. cerevisiae. After a screening step, a larger fermentation was carried out with the wet pulp added of sucrose due to its higher alcoholic fermentation efficiency. The distilled beverage contained 38% (v/v) ethanol and 0.2 g/L of acetic acid. The contaminants furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural and ethyl carbamate were below detection level. Among the 48 volatile compounds detected, the majority (21) were ethyl esters usually associated with floral and sweet aromas. Ethyl decanoate (996.88 µg/L) and ethyl dodecanoate (1088.09 µg/L) were the most abundant esters. Coffee spirit presented taste acceptance of 80% and sugarcane spirit, 70%. The tasters indicated an aroma acceptance of 86% for the coffee spirit and 78% for the sugarcane spirit. The results of this work demonstrate the potential for using coffee by-products to produce a good quality distilled beverage. Considering our results, especially sensorial analysis, we can infer that the produced coffee beverage represents a new alternative for adding value to the coffee production chain.The effects of the inoculation method of Saccharomyces bayanus BV818 and non-Saccharomyces yeast Metschnikowia agaves P3-3 and the fermentation temperature on the volatile profiles of red pitaya wine were investigated in the present study. Although the growth of P3-3 was inhibited by BV818 in the mixed inoculations, simultaneous and sequential inoculations promoted the production of seven volatiles, including higher alcohols (propan-1-ol, 3-methyl-1-butanol and phenethyl alcohol), esters (ethyl decanoate and diethyl succinate), acid (2-ethylhexanoic acid), and ketone (acetoin). Sequential inoculation produced the largest total content of volatile compounds and exhibited the best in the global aroma. The red pitaya wine produced in different inoculations can be separated by its main volatile components. Furthermore, the highest total content was yielded at 25 °C for alcohols and at 21 °C for esters and acids. Within an experimental range of 17 °C to 29 °C, the contents of benzaldehyde and acetoin decreased with the increase in temperature, whereas the change in 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol content was the opposite. The similarly high total contents of volatiles and global aroma score were yielded via sequential inoculation at 21 °C and 25 °C. Therefore, the desired red pitaya wine can be effectively produced by modulating the inoculation method and fermentation temperature.Soy protein isolate hydrolysates (SPIH) were prepared from soy protein isolate (SPI). Effects of SPIH on a satiety signal cholecystokinin (CCK) and feeding behavior in rats were investigated. SPIH induced more CCK release (164.66 ± 2.40 pg/mL) by rat intestinal mucosal cells than SPI (143.33 ± 3.71 pg/mL). Meal size (MS), intermeal interval (IMI), and satiety ratio (SR = MS/IMI) of rats received different daily doses of SPIH or dietary fiber were detected for 40 days. A 100 mg/kg dose of SPIH resulted in a greater SR than an identical dose of dietary fiber, while a 300 mg/kg dose resulted in a less MS and IMI. A 500 mg/kg dose of SPIH had similar effects to the same dose of dietary fiber on reducing MS, extending IMI, and increasing SR, but resulted in a significantly less body weight at the end of the experiment (318.15 ± 17.83 g) than the dietary fiber group (340.28 ± 6.15 g).
