Abstract:
... Undoubtedly, significant advances were performed concerning 4-hydroxy-2-alkenals research on foods, and their formation by double oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. But further studies are still needed, especially on their occurrence in foods enriched with n-3 and n-6 fatty acids, as well as in foods for infants and processed foods. Major factors concerning the formation of 4-hydroxy-2-alke ...

Abstract:
... Plant pathogens greatly impact food security of the ever-growing human population. Breeding resistant crops is one of the most sustainable strategies to overcome the negative effects of these biotic stressors. In order to efficiently breed for resistant plants, the specific plant–pathogen interactions should be understood. Soybean is a short-day legume that is a staple in human food and animal fee ...
... The antioxidant potential of a novel stilbene analogue (5-hydroxy-2-[2-(3,5-dihydroxy-phenyl)-vinyl]-1-hexyl-pyridin-4-one) (named SA) along with its application in shrimp refrigeration was investigated. The antioxidant activity of SA was evaluated by determining the radical scavenging ability. Further, the shrimp preservative efficacy of SA was investigated on Penaeus vannamei stored at 4°C by de ...
... The control of pesticide residues in food is of increasing importance nowadays due to the over-use and misapplication of herbicides in agricultural production. However, the current colorimetric method for rapid detection of glyphosate still faces many challenges like the low sensitivity and stability. Herein, a simple and ultrasensitive liquid colorimetric chemosensor for glyphosate detection was ...
... Conventional definitions of food loss and food waste consider that the phenomenon can be measured with mass or monetary units. However, the problem is that it is not easy to establish what a discarded foodstuff is. Furthermore, these definitions do not incorporate in their analyses the loss of productive resources. From political ecology and agroecology, other alternative definitions consider that ...
... In recent decades, significant progress has been made on the development of low environmental impact plastic materials, as alternatives to conventional plastics for food packaging. Research has focused on the engineering of renewable resources of animal or vegetable origin that are rich in polysaccharides and proteins, to produce green bioplastic materials for food packaging, with good mechanical ...

Abstract:
... Antibiotics might build up into the human body by foodstuff metabolism, posing a serious threat to human health and safety. Establishing simple and sensitive technology for quick antibiotic evaluation is thus extremely important. Nanomaterials (or NMTs) with the advantage of possessing merits such as remarkable optical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical capabilities have been highlighted as a pi ...

Abstract:
... Semi-structured interviews are an often-used method for researching consumer perceptions of food products. However, understanding detailed and in-depth how consumers perceive food products is challenging for researchers because it could be difficult for consumers to express their motives and perceptions. In our previous studies using semi-structured interviews, this difficulty to express perceptio ...
... Aflatoxin is considered as one of the most harmful mycotoxins in the world to be found in human food and animal feed. Previous reports have revealed that Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) may disrupt gamete development through epigenetic modifications as well as promotion of oxidative stress, excessive autophagy, and apoptosis. Therefore, in this study we aimed to address the effects of AFB1 on the meiotic and ...
... Traditional agricultural landscapes provide cultural ecosystem services to human communities. However, the limited profitability of these landscapes often discourages farmers from preserving them. The current research evaluates: (i) whether the market would reward farmers providing a cultural ecosystem service, through an increased willingness to pay (WTP), for a food product with a traditional ag ...
... In the current investigation, a comparison of mitigation of industrial‐grade, Dispersive Dark Red (DDR) (93.55%), Disperse Orange (DO) (93.48%) and lab grade, Malachite Green (MG) (95.25%), and Congo Red (CR) (97.02%) dyes using biosorptive ability of wheat bran (WB) (efficient, economical, readily available and environment‐friendly adsorbent) has been reported. WB obtained from wheat (a type of g ...
... Aquaculture is expected to be one of the most prominent source of animal proteins for humans in the next decades. Its importance for human food security has triggered many academic debates to improve its sustainability. Among potential solutions, polyculture of fish has previously been pointed out as a relevant alternative to monoculture in recirculated aquaculture system (RAS). However, previous ...
... Sensory science provides objective information about the consumer understanding of a product, the acceptance or rejection of stimuli, and the description of the emotions evoked. It is possible to answer how consumers perceive a product through discriminative and descriptive techniques. However, perception can change over time, and these fluctuations can be measured with time-intensity methods. Ins ...

Abstract:
... β-carotene is being used in the food industry as an orange-red pigment for making various food products due to its valuable physical and biological properties. The use of naturally produced β-carotene has many health benefits rather than the majorly used synthetic production method. Therefore, the use of microbial production for β-carotene synthesis can be a promising future for the industries due ...

Abstract:
... The food industry in Mexico is a precarious sector and lags behind other manufacturing industries, it is made up mainly of small and medium-sized enterprises. Its importance in the food assurance of the country requires strategic monitoring of the yield and efficiency variables that allow successful interventions to improve results. Commonly, the efficiency in the agriculture sector is evaluated a ...
... The characteristic layer-by-layer structure of a Selective Laser Sintered food product inherently results in anisotropic mechanical properties which depend on the laser sintering parameters. Tailoring these mechanical properties by the printing process enables food customization. The mechanical behavior and microstructure of printed starch-based food were characterized by means of uniaxial compres ...
... The present work describes a method (SWASV) techniques for measure of tartrazine color a harmful compound present in real samples, and the extremely harmful to humans and animals even at low concentrations using G-C₃N₄ nanosheets sensor. Here, we report the use of an electrochemical approach for analytical determination of toxic tartrazine that takes 150 s. The calibration curve was linear in rang ...

Abstract:
... Current demand of consumers for healthy and sustainable food products has led the industry to search for different sources of plant protein isolates and concentrates. Legumes represent an excellent nonanimal protein source with high‐protein content. Legume species are distributed in a wide range of ecological conditions, including regions with drought conditions, making them a sustainable crop in ...
... The physical-chemical and organoleptic properties of vegetal oils are subject to frequent change caused by different degradation process. Hence, producers must provide accurate information on shelf-life prediction. Due to the complexity of chemical interactions between the oil phase and environment, multiple studies under real-time storage and forced conditions have been conducted. This paper revi ...
