Promoting the Maillard reaction (MR) is an effective way to enhance the flavor of oils. To produce fragrant sunflower oil with low oxidation, a mixture of cold-pressed sunflower oil and enzymatic hydrolysates from sunflower meal was heated to 120 °C. The aroma profiles were compared using SAFE-GC-MS/O-based flavoromics, while free amino acids, reducing sugars, and browning intensity were measured.

Chinese quince (Chaenomeles sinensis) fruit is an underutilized resource, rich in proanthocyanidins with antioxidant ability but poor lipid solubility. In this study, a novel modified oligomeric proanthocyanidin (MOPA) was prepared, which exhibited favorable lipid solubility (354.52 mg/100 g).

Article Synopsis
  • Sesame seed hull, a by-product of sesame processing, is rich in polysaccharides, and this study focuses on extracting these polysaccharides using ultrasound-assisted alkali methods, yielding 6.49%.
  • Three purified fractions, particularly SHP-2, which constitutes 3.78% of the total, were characterized and found to contain various sugars, including a large amount of galacturonic acid (51.3%).
  • The findings on the composition and antioxidant activity of SHP-2 may aid in developing new applications for sesame seed hull polysaccharides in food and pharmaceutical sectors.

The wet decortication of sesame seeds produces wastewater containing diverse minerals and organic pollutants that could be valuable resources for the food industry. This investigation aimed to reclaim, purify, and characterize the polysaccharides contained in the waste liquor from the sesame decortication industry. The purified polysaccharide fractions were characterized using monosaccharide analysis, GPC (high-performance gel permeation chromatography), FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared) spectroscopy, methylation analysis, 1D and 2D Nucleai Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis, and thermal analysis.
