Exopolysaccharides produced in situ by lactic acid bacteria during sourdough fermentation are recognized as bread texture improvers. In this study, the suitability of whole and sprouted lentil flours, added with 25% on flour weight sucrose for dextran formation by selected strains during sourdough fermentation, was evaluated. The dextran synthesized in situ by Weissella confusa SLA4 was 9.2 and 9.7% w/w flour weight in lentil and sprouted lentil sourdoughs, respectively. Wheat bread supplemented with 30% w/w sourdough showed increased specific volume and decreased crumb hardness and staling rate, compared to the control wheat bread. Incorporation of sourdoughs improved the nutritional value of wheat bread, leading to increased total and soluble fibers content, and the aroma profile. The integrated biotechnological approach, based on sourdough fermentation and germination, is a potential clean-label strategy to obtain high-fibers content foods with tailored texture, and it can further enhance the use of legumes in novel foods.The potential of MIRS was investigated to i) differentiate cooked purees issued from different apples and process conditions, and ii) predict the puree quality characteristics from the spectra of homogenized raw apples. Partial least squares (PLS) regression was tested both, on the real spectra of cooked purees and their reconstructed spectra calculated from the spectra of homogenized raw apples by direct standardization. The cooked purees were well-classified according to apple thinning practices and cold storage durations, and to different heating and grinding conditions. PLS models using the spectra of homogenized raw apples can anticipate the titratable acidity (the residual predictive deviation (RPD) = 2.9), soluble solid content (RPD = 2.8), particle averaged size (RPD = 2.6) and viscosity (RPD ≥ 2.5) of cooked purees. FIN56 supplier MIR technique can provide sustainable evaluations of puree quality, and even forecast texture and taste of purees based on the prior information of raw materials.Glucosinolates are a group of secondary metabolites occurring in all the vegetables belonging to the Brassicaceae family. Upon tissue damage, glucosinolates are hydrolyzed by myrosinase to a series of degradation products, including isothiocyanates, which are important for their health-promoting effects in humans. The glucosinolate-myrosinase system has been characterized in several Brassica species, of which white mustard (Sinapis alba) has been studied the most. In this study, a new HPLC-UV assay to evaluate the activities and kinetics of myrosinases in aqueous extracts, which closely represent the physiological conditions of plant tissues, was developed. This method was tested on myrosinases extracted from broccoli and cauliflower inflorescences, employing sinigrin and glucoraphanin as substrates. The results showed a strong inhibition of both enzymes at high substrate concentrations. The main issues related to kinetic analysis on the glucosinolate-myrosinase system were also elucidated.Herein, the preparation of UiO-66 on frosted glass rod (FGR) was proposed through the coordination interaction of Zr-OH groups and carboxyl sites on FGR. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of intra-batch and inter-batch were below 8.0% (n = 7). UiO-66-modified FGR (UiO-66@FGR) was applied to the extraction and monitoring of five non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by coupling to novel bar sorptive extraction (BSE) with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). Sample volume, stirring rate, extraction time, sample pH value, desorption solvent, and desorption time were investigated. NSAIDs (ketoprofen, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, naproxen, and diclofenac sodium) were determined at a low limit of detection (0.92 ng/mL) over a wide linear range (10-1500 ng/mL). The developed method was used to analyze NSAIDs in sheep muscle, chicken wing, and milk with recoveries of 80.8%-117.2%, RSDs less then 6.5%. Fabricated UiO-66@FGR exhibited excellent reproducibility, stability, and good adsorption property towards NSAIDs in food samples.The aim of this study was to investigate phenolic compounds in peel, pulp and seeds of five different jabuticabas - Plinia trunciflora, "cabinho", P. cauliflora, cultivars "paulista" and "canaã-açu", P. jaboticaba, "sabará" and P. phitrantha, "branca-vinho". In addition to the commonly reported cyanidin-3-glucoside and delphinidin3-glucoside, it was also found the unreported cyanidin-3-coumaroylglucoside in the peels. Flavonols derived from quercetin and myricetin were also detected in jaboticaba peels, along with a wide variety of derivatives of ellagic acid and methyl ellagic acid. The latter derivatives occurred in acylated forms, which were not usually found in jabuticabas. The pulps and seeds of jabuticabas contained large amounts of ellagitannins vescalagin and castalagin, as well as gallic and ellagic acids. The jabuticabas showed small amounts of catechin and gallocatechin. P. jaboticaba showed the highest levels of anthocyanins and flavonols derived from myricetin, and P. phitrantha presented the highest concentration of ellagitannins and flavan-3-ols.Oats (Avena sativa L.) are a healthy food, being high in dietary fibre (e.g. β-glucans), antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. Understanding the effect of variety and crop management on nutritional quality is important. The response of four oat varieties to increased nitrogen levels was investigated across multiple locations and years with respect to yield, grain quality and metabolites (assessed via GC- and LC- MS). A novel high-resolution UHPLC-PDA-MS/MS method was developed, providing improved metabolite enrichment, resolution, and identification. The combined phenotyping approach revealed that, amino acid levels were increased by nitrogen supplementation, as were total protein and nitrogen containing lipid levels, whereas health-beneficial avenanthramides were decreased. Although nitrogen addition significantly increased grain yield and β-glucan content, supporting increasing the total nitrogen levels recommended within agricultural guidelines, oat varietal choice as well as negative impacts upon health beneficial secondary metabolites and the environmental burdens associated with nitrogen fertilisation, require further consideration.
