The effects of PMF (5-7 T, 5-30 pulses) on enzyme activity, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, color, ascorbic acid, total phenols and antioxidant activity (DPPH radical scavenging activity) of cloudy apple juice were evaluated. PMF inhibited activities of polyphenoloxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD) and pectinmethylesterase (PME), but PPO was more sensitive to PMF than POD and PME. At the intensity of 6 T with 15 pulses, PPO and POD both exhibited the lowest residual activity (53.22 and 92.96%), while PME showed the lowest residual activity (83.01%) at 7 T with 30 pulses. No significant effect on soluble solids was found under all processing parameters, whereas significant decreases of ascorbic acid were observed at the intensity of 7 T with 5-30 pulses. PMF did not change pH, titratable acidity, color, total phenols and DPPH radical scavenging activity severely. These results suggest PMF can be a potential technology for enzymatic inactivation in apple juice with high retention of quality.

Background: Apple pomace (AP), a byproduct of apple processing, is nutrient-rich, and its properties are influenced by both the quality of the apples and the juice extraction process. Drying technology can enhance its economic utilization. This study compared the effects of industrial drum drying (ID) and laboratory hot-air drying, heat pump drying and freeze drying (FD) on the physicochemical, functional and structural properties of from-concentrate AP (FC-AP) and not-from-concentrate AP (NFC-AP).

Patulin (PAT), a mycotoxin primarily produced by Penicillium species, presents a serious food safety challenge due to its widespread occurrence and harmful health effects. Among current detoxification approaches, yeast-based degradation is particularly promising, offering high efficiency, environmental sustainability, and preservation of food quality-key attributes for industrial application. However, the enzymatic pathways involved and the potential for concurrent quality enhancement remain poorly understood.

The demand for unpasteurized fruit juices has grown due to their natural nutritional benefits, but this also increases the risk of foodborne illnesses. This study evaluated the transfer of three pathogens (, O157:H7, and ) from different surfaces (cutting boards, knives, and gloves) to produce and subsequently across different juice batches. Cutting boards and gloves showed the highest pathogen transfer rates (ranging from 2.

This study investigates the impact of a sweetened acidic beverage, an apple juice (J) consumption on the tribological properties, viscoelasticity, and protein concentration/ composition of human saliva. Using a combination of tribological measurements, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), and protein analysis, we assessed how J may affect saliva's lubricating behaviour and adsorbed salivary film characteristics compared to water (control). Tribological results revealed that saliva (collected from 32 healthy adults) exposed to water or J exhibited increased friction when compared to unstimulated whole mouth saliva (uWMS), particularly within the boundary lubrication regime.

To determine ametoctradine with five triazole-derived fungicides, a capillary electrophoretic technique in apple, grape, banana, cucumber, tomato, spinach, pepper, carrot, apple juices, grape juices, and red wine was created using 7.5 mM ammonium formate (pH 2.1, 10% v/v, methanol) as a background electrolyte (BGE), and water with 3 s via hydrodynamic injection for the preinjection plug (field-amplified sample injection method).
