In this study, three distinct fermented milk beverages of high sensory quality were developed using the autochthonous cultures Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis ZGBP5-51, Enterococcus faecium ZGBP5-52 and Enterococcus faecalis ZGBP5-53 (AC beverage) and the commercial starter Bioprox DI-PROX M229 alone (CC beverage), and in combination (CAC beverage). The AC beverage showed the greatest 3-week storage stability, as reflected by the maintained bacterial cell viability and pH stability. A total of 103 aroma volatile compounds (AVCs), categorised into 17 chemical groups, were identified in the beverages by headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Ketones constituted the predominant AVC group in both the CC (49.84 ± 12.29 %) and CAC (35.63 ± 31.65 %) beverages, whereas they were only the third most prevalent group in the AC beverage (15.25 ± 12.93 %). The principal component analysis revealed a cumulative explanatory variance of 64.94 %, emphasising the crucial role of starter culture selection in shaping the volatile profiles of fermented milk beverages.

Domiati cheese, one of the most popular soft white cheeses, is particularly susceptible to microbial deterioration due to its high moisture content and low salt concentration. This study assesses the effectiveness of a new edible coating made from carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles loaded with pomegranate peel extract (CCS LP) in increasing the shelf life of Domiati cheese. The study compares CCS LP's performance to pomegranate peel extract (PPE) and carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (CCS NPs) alone.

Goat milk is prized for its nutritional value, but the illegal addition of δ-decanolactone to enhance flavor poses risks to product integrity and safety. This study employed a tripartite multi-omics framework integrating metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics, combined with FTIR and CLSM to systematically elucidate the multifaceted effects of δ-decanolactone on goat milk. Chemometric and bioinformatic pipelines identified dysregulated molecules and pathways, while molecular docking validated interactions with key targets.

This study aimed to examine the impact of composite enzymatic treatment on the physicochemical properties of oat milk, which would provide an effective strategy to improve the stability of plant-based milk. Oat milks treated with individual α-amylase or in combination with the protein glutaminase were produced. The result indicated that composite enzyme treatment significantly changed the physicochemical properties and significantly improved the stability of oat milk.

The complexity of cheese flavour components, different origin and variability in experimental data have hindered credible flavour description of Cheddar cheese at different ripening time periods. This study combined GC-MS with machine learning to explore the common characteristic ingredients of Cheddar cheese independent of origin during ripening stage at 6-12 °C. A random forest model among six classifiers performed best in assessing Cheddar cheese ripening time and 14 flavour substances (ketones, acids, and lactones) were selected as characteristic flavours by recursive feature elimination from 66 flavour substances to train the model.

Background: Yak milk casein peptides exhibit promising anti-inflammatory activity, but there is a gap in the study of their anti-inflammatory mechanisms and specific molecular targets.
Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of two novel yak casein-derived peptides, QEPVLGPVRGPFP (QP13) and VYPFPGPIPN (VN10), previously identified via bioinformatics screening.
Methods: An LPS-induced RAW264.
