Abstract:Punicic acid, which is an ω-5 polyunsaturated fatty acid representing the main component of pomegranate seed oil (PSO) with pharmaceutical and food usages, is susceptible to oxidation. Also, its water insoluble properties allow only few fractions to be absorbed. Therefore, the protection of this oil as well as bioavailability and good abortion properties are the aim of our work. Formation of water in oil in water (W/O/W) emulsion from pomegranate seed oil followed by spray-drying resulted in its transformation… Show more
“…Toffee samples were analyzed for zeta potential values using a Zetasizer Nano‐ZS90 (Malvern Instruments Ltd, Malvern, UK), all samples were diluted by distilled water, placed in a glass cuvette with a square aperture, and the scattered intensity was measured at 25°C (Azab et al, 2019; Mahmoud et al, 2020).…”
One of the promising approaches in food sector is the valorization of food by-products into nutritional ingredients. This study aimed to improve the quality of toffee by adding mango kernel fat (MKF) as a butter replacer (50%), pectin (1%) using the high-speed homogenization (HSH). Fatty acid composition, melting point, non-enzymatic browning index (NEBI), texture profile analysis (TPA) were investigated. Results showed the oxidative stability of MKF recorded exceeding value (400 h) indicating great stability compared to butter (21 h), using HSH technique with the addition of pectin and mango fat to toffee induced high-quality characteristics. Also, an increase in stability of toffee blends (zeta potential: −80 mV), melting point (34.129°C), TPA of the blends was compatible with full butter TPA with high texture, and high acceptability was observed. Results demonstrate that toffee with MKF and using HSH could improve the quality characteristics of toffee as well as have good nutritional aspects.Novelty impact statement: Improving the quality attributes of toffee confectionery by reducing fat in the recipe as substituted using a high-speed homogenization technique, with mango fat and/or pectin as a fat replacer. They could make toffee lower in fat content, healthier, cheaper, and with the same quality as full-fat toffee. It will valorize the mango fat from mango by-products into nutritional ingredients.

Traditional methods of pectin extraction led to drop quality, yield, functional properties, and excessive time. The objective of our research is to produce high-quality pectin from apple pomace as food processing by-product. Four nonconventional methods of extraction (microwave, ultrasound, citric acid, and organic acid mixture (citric acid, ascorbic acid, and acetic acid)) were compared to conventional extraction of pectin in terms of yields, thermal behavior, functional groups, antioxidant activity, and functional properties. Citric acid extraction method gave the highest yield (22%) compared to other methods. The extraction of pectin by organic acid mixture maximized the galacturonic acid index to 87.58%;. Also, it was changed from structural into: compacted, multilaminated, and flaky surface compared to the other samples (more porous and hollow opening structural) as well as increased stability of pectin particles in colloids as a result of increasing the charge on particles to -59.42, beside its higher thermal stability of pectin behaviors, which reflected on improving all functional properties compared to the other methods. On the other side, microwave-extracted pectin had the highest antioxidant activity (3-4 times) compared to other extraction methods. In conclusion, extraction using organic acids, microwave, and ultrasonic led to improve the pectin quality and could be used in high-temperature food products, like bakery products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
