Article Abstract
We hypothesised that QuEChERS could be successfully applied to the extraction of bitter acids and xanthohumol from hops, which would be less time consuming, cheaper, and more eco-friendly by the severe reduction of solvent use. High performance liquid chromatography was used to separate the compounds after extraction and quantitation was evaluated against standard calibration curves for bitter acids prepared from an International calibration extract (ICE-4) and an authentic standard of xanthohumol. The standard QuEChERS method was compared to mini and micro-versions including clean-up and spiking procedures. The quantitative analyzes indicate the applicability of the QuEChERS method for the quantitation of bitter acids compared to Soxhlet extraction. The statistical data confirm reproducibility of the total alpha- and beta- acids measured by the standard method and the modified mini- and micro-QuEChERS procedures. Our hypothesis is supported by the data described and is consistent with other previous methods described in the literature.

Unlabelled: A complex enzyme mixture of papain, neutral protease, and flavor protease was used to treat sesame meal at 50 °C for 3 h, yielding four peptide fractions (PF) with distinct molecular weight distributions of PF1 (> 10 kDa), PF2 (3-10 kDa), PF3 (1-3 kDa), and PF4 (< 1 kDa). and xylose were added to peptide mixtures heated to 120 °C in an oil bath for 120 min to form Maillard reaction product (MRP). PF4 peptides (< 1 kDa) had a substantial impact on pH, color, and browning intensity, whereas PF3 peptides (1-3 kDa) improved the meat-like flavor, mouth fullness, and umami taste.

The olive oil industry generates vast amounts of by-products, including olive pomace, olive mill wastewater, olive pits, and olive leaves, which pose serious environmental and economic challenges. However, these residues are rich in bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, dietary fibers, unsaturated fatty acids, and sugar derivatives, making them valuable resources for sustainable valorization. This review explores innovative biotechnological and probiotic-driven approaches to convert olive waste into high-value products, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and SDG 13 (Climate action).

Liqueur koji-fermented foxtail millet beverages offer distinctive flavors and health benefits, but the interrelationships among flavor compounds, sensory properties, and antioxidant activity remain unelucidated. This study systematically mapped dynamic changes across a standardized 72 h fermentation using chromatographic, electronic sensory approaches, and antioxidant assays. Key results revealed glucose, lactic acid, and succinic acid as primary taste-active indicators through HPLC.

This study investigates the effects of hawthorn leaves treatment and preheating on the physicochemical properties, aromatic profiles, and nutritional components of hawthorn wine. Three application strategies were implemented: (1) direct leaves addition to preheated/unheated pulp pre-fermentation, (2) leaves extract incorporation into preheated/unheated pulp pre-fermentation, and (3) post-fermentation leaves immersion in preheated/unheated wine. Results indicated that preheating combined with leaves treatment enhanced polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity.

Unlabelled: This study analyzed the chemosensory and metabolite profiles of rice bran oil (RBO) using an E-tongue (electronic tongue), an E-nose (electronic nose), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and gas chromatography (GC). The results demonstrated that total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) significantly increased with roasting, while -oryzanol showed a decreasing trend. The fatty acids identified in RBOs were palmitic acid (C16:0), oleic acid (C18:1), and linoleic acid (C18:2).
