Article Abstract

Buckwheat hulls which are rich in fiber are good ingredients to increase the nutritional value of food products. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the applied additives in the form of fiber and apple juice on the properties of both potato and corn starch (normal and waxy). In order to characterize the rheological properties of kissel, the pasting characteristic was measured. In the obtained gels, the basic quality parameters were determined. The analysis of texture, color parameters, and also total polyphenol content were determined. Buckwheat hulls, in addition to their high fiber content, are a valuable source of phenolic compounds and can be a great additive in starch desserts. The addition of buckwheat hulls and apple juice improved the nutritional value of the final products but also caused changes in the technological qualities: it increased the initial temperature of potato starch mixtures (by approx. 9 °C); it decreased the viscosity of cold desserts (from 8 to 55%); and increased the hardness of the final product by more than 7 times. In the case of other starches, the recorded changes were much smaller than for potato starch-based products.

Biodegradation of patulin in apple juice by phosphoribosyl transferase (URA5): implications for food safety.

Patulin (PAT), a mycotoxin produced primarily by Penicillium expansum, poses significant health risks and frequently contaminates apples and apple-derived products, often exceeding permissible safety limits. This study investigated the potential of orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (URA5) to degrade PAT in apple juice under controlled conditions. PAT degradation was assessed at initial concentrations of 100 µg/L and 250 µg/L, with enzymatic treatment using 0.

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.
