This study investigated the effects of protease type (Alcalase, papain and pepsin), fractionation (2 and 10?kDa nominal molecular weight cutoff) and pistachio green hull (PGH) extract addition on antioxidant activity (DPPH radical scavenging and metal chelating activity), α-glucosidase, α-amylase, and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory activity of Sind sardine hydrolysates. Papain led to the highest degree of hydrolysis and antioxidant activity and the addition of PGH enhanced the bioactivity. Hydrolysates and fractions had stronger inhibition of α-amylase than α-glucosidase, and hydrolysates from papain and Alcalase were more active than those from pepsin against α-amylase. Interaction of PGH and the hydrolysates/peptidic fra
Jujube fruit, well‐known for its nutraceutical potential such as flavonoids, anthocyanins, organic acids, and phenolic compounds, is being explore as a functional ingredient in a wide array of health foods and drinks. It should be noted that there were no reported data about characteristics of the functional beverage of jujube. Therefore, in this study, it was prepared using jujube concentrate (40, 50, 60?ml), water (60, 50, 40?ml), citric acid (0.0, 0.08, 0.06, 0.1% wt/vol), and sugar (0, 7, 8, 9% wt/vol) in different ratios. Then, different factors including physicochemical parameters, bioactive compounds, sensory acceptability, instrumental color, and microbial quality, of jujube beverages were periodically analyzed during 4?months.

Barberry is a native Iranian plant including species Berberis integerrima and B. vulgaris. Barberry fruit is used for preparing sauces, jellies, carbonated drinks, candies, food colour powders, jams, marmalades, chocolates, juices, and nectars. They are used as a natural food colorant rich in anthocyanins instead of harmful artificial ones. They contain polyphenols and antioxidants that reduce damage from free radicals and prevent chronic diseases and cancers. Barberry fruit extracts were encapsulated in maltodextrin by spray drying and Liposome Entrapment. The sizes of spray dried particles were reported 1–20 μm by SEM. Dimensions of empty and extract loaded liposomes (B. vulgaris and B. integerrima) were 18–28, 37–51, and 51–77 n
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of pistachio hull extract (PHE) as an antioxidant and antimicrobial agent for preservation of dry fermented sausages during fermentation and storage period. Sausages were prepared using starter culture (Biobak K) and treated with three levels of PHE (500, 750 and 1,000?ppm). The results showed that PHE at concentrations of 500?ppm and 750?ppm decreased significantly (p?.05) the TBARS content of the sausage samples compared to control (without PHE). Moreover, PHE increased L* and a* value of samples during fermentation period but did not affect the color of samples during storage period. The PHE was also able to improve the chewiness and gumminess of the fermented sausage. Evalua
For optimal usage of new oil resources with high nutritional values, in this study, one chilgoza pine variety was provided, and assays of physicochemical characteristics of its nut such as moisture, ash, thousand nut weight, oil, protein, hull contents, density, pH and also physicochemical characteristics of its extracted oil by n-hexan solvent such as iodine values, saponification and unsaponification, peroxide, specific weight, acid values, moisture of oil, color (Lovibond) and fatty acid profile and extracted oil characteristics by cold press such as total polyphenols, tocophrols, carotenoids, chlorophylls, sterols, color (Hunterlab), DPPḢ and antioxidant were investigated. Then its effect as a natural antioxidant on rapeseed oil shelf
In this study the application of membrane processes for olive oil bleaching is investigated. Olive oil is treated by adding 0.7 wt% of bleaching earth, 0.3 wt% of activated charcoal, and 5% wt% of sodium dodecyl sulfate solution (0.05 m) and then charged into the membrane cell. Operating conditions including pressure ((2− 4)? 105 Pa), temperature (25–45? C), and stirring rate (100–300 rpm) are optimized. Physico‐chemical properties of membrane bleached oil are evaluated and compared with crude and industrially bleached olive oil. Results show that the filtration conditions for the optimized point are as follows: pressure= 3.7 bar (3.7? 105 Pa), temperature= 36.5? C, and stirring rate= 300 rpm. Under optimum conditions, the amounts o
Polyphenolic compounds (present in different parts of the plant) have beneficial properties such as antioxidant and inhibition of key enzymes. In this research, antioxidant and anti‐lipase activity of pistachio green hull (PGH) extract was investigated. Fractionation of PGH on Sephadex LH‐20 furnished a tannin enriched fraction with higher antioxidant activity respect to that of the extract and of the non‐tannin fraction. UHPL/MS2 analyses showed the presence of phenolic compounds including galloyl‐O‐hexoside, galloyl‐shikimic acid, galloylquinic acid, and gallic acid in tannin fraction. PGH‐extract was an un‐competitive inhibitor against porcine pancreatic lipase so that its IC50 value was 2.26?mg/ml. In the same phenol a
In this study, the combined effects of various experimental parameters (solvent concentration, extraction temperature, pH, extraction time, and light conditions) on the recovery of phytochemical compounds from the jujube (Ziziphus jujuba var vulgaris) fruit were investigated in a batch system using a 25 full-factorial design. The independent variables were coded at two levels and their actual values were selected based on the results of single-factor experiments. Total Phenolic Content (TPC), Total Monomeric Anthocyanin Content (TMAC), and vitamin C content values were used for the determination of phytochemical compound content in jujube extract. The results showed that pH, extraction temperature, and solvent concentration were the most si
The purpose of this study was to produce a functional ice cream by the addition of microcapsules of pistachio peel extract (MPPE). Various properties of the resulting ice cream were investigated. By increasing the amount of MPPE the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity increased about 2.0‐ and 3.7‐fold, respectively, compared with the control sample. The rheological properties of the mixes were fitted by the Power Law model. All mixes showed non‐Newtonian pseudoplastic behaviour. By increasing the concentration of MPPE, the consistency coefficient (m), viscosity, and shear sensitivity were increased, but the flow behaviour index (n) decreased. The addition of MPPE to ice cream mixes improved the melting resistance, first dr
The replacement of artificial by natural additives has gained consumer attention due to concerns about toxic and carcinogenic effects of artificial additives and the growing search for healthy foods. Phenolics are considered as one of the most important natural ingredients in the human diet due to the unique antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. However, the use of phenolics is limited by its poor solubility, undesirable sensorial properties and instability during food processing and storage. To overcome these challenges and to improve the functionality and bioavailability of phenolics, many studies have attempted to encapsulation of phenolics using delivery systems. This review summarizes the recent advances in application of encapsula
Background: Despite the widespread use of antioxidants during the storage of oils, oxidation of fats and fatty foods is still reported to be the main reason for their quality drop. Synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) completely escape and easily decompose at high temperatures. There are serious problems in relation to the toxicity of BHA, BHT and tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), possibly due to their metabolism and accumulation in organs and tissues. So finding a useful natural antioxidant is of great importance, and due to the considerable presence of mangrove plant on the Southern Coasts of Iran, this study aims to investigate the antioxidant properties of Avicennia marina lea
High rates of oxidation during hydrolysis are one the main problems with hydrolysate production from fatty fishes such as Sind sardines. The purpose of this study was to control oxidation by different pretreatments with pistachio green hull (PGH) extracts as an antioxidant. Different enzyme levels (1.3%, 2.5%, and 5%), pretreatments of fish mince (washing, defatting, fish protein isolate (FPI)), and the addition of PGH as well as nitrogen gas treatment were studied on lipid oxidation during hydrolysis of Sind sardines (Sardinella sindensis). The antioxidant properties of the hydrolysates were also studied. Results for thiobarbituric acid reactive substances indicated that the nitrogen gas and 5% (w/w) enzymatic treatment significantly decre
