Article Abstract
Background: Style and pace of life make consumers more willing to reach for snack products. This group of processed food includes, among others, fruit chips. Due to the increasing incidence of diseases associated with the excessive exposure to free radicals foods enriched with antioxidant compounds, eg. polyphenols, can be introduced into the sale.
Objective: The aim of the study was to use the fruit extracts for the production of apple chips with enhanced antioxidant activity.
Material And Methods: ‘Golden Delicious’ variety of apple fruit was used to produce chips. Apple chips were prepared by slicing, soaking in a sugar solution and pre-drying in a microwave oven. Chips were enriched with extracts prepared from fruits of chokeberry, five-flavor berry, Cornelian cherry, woodland hawthorn, goji berry, Japanese quince and cranberry microcarpa. For this purpose, pre-dried apple slices were soaked (5 min) in ethanolic extract of fruits and then dried to achieve a 5% moisture content. Chips were sensory evaluated and their antioxidant activity and total polyphenols content were determined.
Results: All enriched apple chips were characterized by high antioxidant activity and a relatively high value of total polyphenols content. Chips soaked in extracts of five-flavor berry, cranberry and goji berry were characterized by the highest antioxidant potential. Samples obtained by using chokeberry and Cornelian cherry extracts showed the highest content of polyphenols. High sensory attractiveness of enriched chips was also showed. The chips with the addition of fiveflavor berry extract were exceptions. Their taste was not acceptable.
Conclusions: Fruit extracts are a valuable material for chips enrichment. Taking into account all the analyzed differentiators, extracts of Japanese quince, goji berry and woodland hawthorn were found to be the best enriching additives. The chips soaked in extract of five-flavor berry, despite their high antioxidant activity, were disqualified due to very low score of sensory evaluation.

Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is an emerging aging-related risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, previous studies suggest that CHIP's relevance to CVD may diminish with advancing age.
Objectives: This study aimed to test the association of CHIP and its key subtypes with incident CVD in an older population.

This study examined how different bagging types (unbagged, mesh-bagged, and paper-bagged) affect the internal and external quality of fruits. Spectral images of 307 apples were collected using a visible-near infrared hyperspectral imaging system, and differences in color, size, firmness, soluble solids content (SSC), and aroma were analyzed. The effectiveness of various algorithms for extracting effective wavelengths was compared.

Wood chips contain numerous active compounds that can affect the wine's characteristics. They are commonly used in red grape wines, whisky, cherry and brandy, but in fruit wines, production is not typically utilised. The aim of this study was to compare the impact of an oak barrel ageing with the effect of the addition of chips made from various types of wood (oak, maple, cherry, apple) and with various degrees of toasting to the apple wines on their antioxidant, oenological and sensory properties.

The release of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) after food ingestion can pose a serious health risk to consumers. This study aimed to simultaneously quantify four cyanogenic glycosides (lotaustralin, prunasin, taxiphyllin, and dhurrin) using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The analysis scope extended beyond agricultural products to various consumer foods to estimate dietary exposure to cyanogenic glycosides and assess its risk levels.
