The initial complete mitochondrial genome of Notostomus gibbosus (Caridea, Acanthephyridae).
5 mm. Based on the results of the study, by applying the variable air temperatures during drying process on samples, the drying time was reduced by 24% and the color quality of the samples was preserved. The final product produced by this method had higher quality (total color changes is 3.278) compared to the products dried at the higher constant temperature of 70 °C (total color changes is 6.71).The cereal grains such as wheat, barley, sorghum, millets were evaluated before and after germination (24 h, 48 h and 72 h) and compared for their proximate composition, antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, pasting properties, in vitro starch digestibility and FTIR spectroscopy. Germination inversely affected the protein, fat, and ash content of different cereal grains. PD0166285 The germinated flours have less water content and higher oil absorption capacities along with reduced starch content. The contents of rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS) in the ungerminated cereal flours ranged from 20.7 to 32.1%, 26.9 to 38.0% and 6.2 to 17.6% respectively but after germination of 72 h, the RDS content increased from 26.5 to 36.2% while SDS and RS content decreased from 26.1% (sorghum) to 16% (barley) and 14.7% (barley) to 4.6% (wheat) respectively. The drought-tolerant crops (sorghum, millets and barley) are potential sources of antioxidants and phenolic content and yielded lower hydrolysis index and estimated glycaemic index upon germination. The highest section of antiparallal β-sheet, α-helix and β-turns were found in wheat flour followed by sorghum flour and their proportion decreased with continuous germination. The continuous reduction of viscosity was evaluated with the progress in germination. Overall, germination is a way to get health-promoting compounds from less utilizing cereal such as millets, sorghum and barley and enhance their uses to nourish the huge population with the aim to fulfill their nutritional requirements.Five different tea varieties (white, green, oolong, black and pu-erh) were infused, drained and used for kombucha production. Antioxidant capacity, total phenolic content and bioaccessibility values were determined. Extractable, hydrolysable and bioaccessible fractions were used for antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content (TPC) and expressed as µmole TEAC/mL and mg GAE/100 mL, respectively. Antioxidant capacity and TPC were determined by Folin Ciocalteu's, ABTS and CUPRAC methods. In vitro digestion enzymatic extraction was used to determine bioaccessible fractions. It has found that kombucha fermentation with the tea extracts caused to elevate antioxidant capacity, TPC, and bioaccessibility. The green tea kombucha had the highest antioxidant capacity (4153.23 μmole TEAC/mL) and bioaccessibility (50.18%). Therefore, it can be suggested as a good supplement with high nutritional value in kombucha production. In general, TPC content increased significantly. The extractable fractions and bioaccessibility values of the kombucha tea varieties increased due to the fermentation, while the hydrolysable fractions decreased. Antioxidant capacity in the extractable fractions of the green tea kombucha samples was measured to increase by ABTS and CUPRAC methods. Bioaccessibility values of pu-erh tea by ABTS and white tea by CUPRAC were found to increase by the kombucha production.The beer is a widely consumed drink, appreciated for its sensory characteristics, and it also contains beneficial compounds for health derived from its raw materials. In this work, the influence of coloured malt on the main quality parameters of a top-fermenting beer was evaluated. The beers were produced increasing the percentage of coloured malt (0, 5, 15% Caraamber®) respect to the pale ale base malt. The beers had an alcohol content ranging from 6.2 to 6.8 vol%; the results highlighted a deeper colour, increased bitterness and turbidity in beer with the highest amount of Caraamber malt. This latter showed the highest polyphenols (453.8 mg GAE/L) and antioxidant activity (840.1 µmol TE/L) and, on the other hand, the lowest foam stability. The volatiles profile showed a higher amount of aldehydes and ketones in beer with the highest percentage of caramel malt but the lowest in higher alcohols and esters. No differences were found in the fruity-esters, alcoholic and caramel sensory notes; while the beer made with 15% of coloured malt was perceived sweeter and with less fruity citrus notes than other beer samples.In this study, whole and ground pomegranate (cv. Hicaz) seeds using conventional and microwave ovens were investigated under different parameter. The results show that the total phenolic contents of whole and ground seeds roasted in oven at (150 °C) and microwave at (720 W) for 10 and 20 min, and 5 and 7.5 min, respectively, were found to be slightly higher than those of the control group. In addition, the same roasting method of microwave at (720 W), ground seed oils showed greater fatty acids contents than those of whole seed oils. According to achieved results, roasting techniques used caused noticeable fluctuations of phenolic and fatty acids contents and that depending on which counterparts of pomegranate seeds treated. In addition, a caution recommended when using microwave oven in roasting pomegranate seeds to prevent undesirable alteration or losing of bioactive properties of this value-added product.Awareness towards utilizing food-processing by-products are increasing in health as well as environmental purview. Coffee silver skin (CSS), potato peel (PP) and brewer's spent grain (BSG) are voluminous by-products in their respective processing industries. The present study compared these three by-products for their prospective utilization in producing polyphenols-rich aqueous extracts by using ultrasound-assisted extractions (UAE). A probe-type sonicator was used for ultrasound treatments. The total phenolic contents in the extracts were assessed by Folin-Ciocalteu assay, while the phenolic profiles of the extract was characterized by LC-Q-TOF mass spectrometry. The microstructure of the samples after UAE was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ultrasound treatment enhanced the rate of extraction and recovered 2.79, 2.12 and 0.66 mg gallic acid equivalents/g of TPC from CSS, PP and BSG, respectively in 30 min, which correspond to recoveries of 97.6%, 84.5% and 84.6%, respectively, compared to conventional solid-liquid extractions carried out for 24 h.
