Bioactive composite films were developed utilizing a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and jackfruit waste powder (JK PW) matrix, functionalized with either ginger (JK PW–GEO) or clove essential oil (JK PW–CEO). Structural characterization indicated that the essential oils were chemically anchored to the polymer matrix via intermolecular hydrogen bonding, facilitating the formation of a cohesive micro-composite architecture. These chemical interactions significantly enhanced thermal stability; notably, JK PW–GEO films exhibited superior thermal resistance (limiting mass loss to 9 % within the 180–260 °C range) compared to JK PW–CEO films (∼14 % loss). This stability is attributed to the robust retention of non-volatile gingerols within the hydrogen-bonded network, as confirmed by HS-GC–MS/MS analysis. Regarding functional bioactivity, distinct performance profiles were observed: JK PW–CEO films demonstrated exceptional antioxidant capacity (334.75 mg GAE/g; 90.62 % DPPH radical scavenging), whereas JK PW–GEO films exhibited broader antimicrobial efficacy, particularly against resistant bacterial strains such as Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella enterica . In practical application trials, both film formulations effectively extended the shelf life of bread and fresh poultry by mitigating microbial proliferation and suppressing spoilage odors. Sensory evaluation confirmed that the films maintained desirable olfactory profiles, thereby enhancing the perceived quality of the packaged products. Collectively, this study establishes that JK PW-based composites offer a sustainable avenue for active packaging, wherein ginger oil provides superior thermal and antimicrobial stability, while clove oil delivers potent antioxidant protection.

Green papaya salad or Som Tum is the most popular spicy mixed salads in Thailand due to its unique rich flavor. Green papaya salad dressing (GPSD) is made from various ingredients such as fresh chili pepper, fresh garlic, rind tamarind, fish sauce and lime oil, including the limitation in controlling the taste and flavor of salad dressing and its poor shelf-life. In this study, a convenient ready-to-eat GPSD was developed. Hurdle technology was applied to extend shelf-life of the GPSD based on monitoring of microbial contamination and food pathogens throughout the process. Hurdle technology able to decrease total plate count (TPC) from 5.6 ± 0.2 to 1 ± 0.3 log CFU/g and yeast and mold (Y&M) from 4.2 ± 0.3 to <1 log CFU/g. After 12 weeks of storage at 5 ± 2 °C, slightly increase of TPC was detected as 1.5 ± 0.2 log CFU/g and no changes were found for Y&M and other pathogens. At week 12, GPSD stored at 32 ± 2 °C was found to have higher TPC and Y&M (3.7 ± 0.3 and 2.4 ± 0.3 log CFU/g, respectively). Therefore, a combination of hurdles that combines low a<inf>w</inf>, low pH, heat treatment, low temperature after hot filling, and chilled storage could extend the shelf-life of GPSD with satisfy sensorial test result and be suitable for minimally processed salad dressing.

This research comparatively investigates different mangosteen pericarp processing schemes. The experimental pericarp processing schemes were hot air drying (HAD; control), quick freezing/HAD (QF + HAD), slow freezing/HAD (SF + HAD), and slow freezing/freeze-drying (SF + FD). For freezing, the QF temperature was −38 °C for 2 h and that of SF was −25 °C for 2 weeks. For drying, the HAD temperature was 60 °C for 7 h. In the FD process, the primary and secondary temperatures were −20 °C and 50 °C for 48 h. The experimental results showed that the freezing method (i.e., QF and SF) affected the physical properties (moisture content, water activity, and color) of dried mangosteen pericarp. The antioxidant activities (DPPH and ABTS) of the SF + HAD scheme (28.20 and 26.86 mg Trolox/g DW of mangosteen pericarp) were lower than the SF + FD scheme (40.68 and 41.20 mg Trolox/g DW of mangosteen pericarp). The α-mangostin contents were 82.3 and 78.9 mg/g DW of mangosteen pericarp for FD and HAD, respectively; and the corresponding TPC were 1065.57 and 783.24 mg GAE/g DW of mangosteen pericarp. The results of this study suggest that the drying process had a negligible effect on bioactive compounds. Essentially, the SF + HAD technology is the most operationally and economically viable scheme to process mangosteen pericarp.

Farmers would be able to regulate fertilization and produce quality durian if they knew the nutrient concentration in durian leaves. A long period of time for traditional nutritional content determination is needed. Therefore, near-infrared spectroscopy is a good method for nondestructive and quick nutrient content evaluation. The leaf sample matrices (fresh leaves, dried ground leaves, and dried ground leaf pellets) were scanned by Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) with a wavelength of 12,500–3,600 cm−1. Regression models were developed using partial least squares (PLS) with full wavelength, short wavelength, and selected wavelength by successive projections algorithm (SPA). In this study, the model for N and K concentration was acceptable and the prediction was considered good but for P content not had succeeded. As a result, the PLS-SPA model using fresh leaf samples for evaluating N content in durian leaves exhibited performance of r2 = 0.852, SEP = 0.14%, RPD = 2.63 and bias = −0.020%. The PLS-SPA model using dried ground leaf samples for evaluating K content in durian leaves exhibited performance of r2 = 0.820, SEP = 0.13%, RPD = 2.36 and bias = 0.006%. This research found that it is possible to apply NIR waves to predict N and K concentrations in durian leaves. It is not necessary to predict directly from the wavelengths associated with -N or -K bonds. Instead, NIR can measure them indirectly from the bonding of proteins, which are products formed by N and K. In addition, selecting the wavelength that is related to the value to be measured can produce results that are not significantly different from using full or short wavelengths. These models can assist farmers in rapidly predicting N and K content in durian leaves for immediate fertilizer adjustment.

Background. This study explored the utilization of luffa sponge (LS) in enhancing acetification processes. LS is known for having high porosity and specific surface area, and can provide a novel means of supporting the growth of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) to improve biomass yield and acetification rate, and thereby promote more efficient and sustainable vinegar production. Moreover, the promising potential of LS and luffa sponge coated with κ-carrageenan (LSK) means they may represent effective alternatives for the co-production of industrially valuable bioproducts, for example bacterial cellulose (BC) and acetic acid. Methods. LS and LSK were employed as adsorbents for Acetobacter pasteurianus UMCC 2951 in a submerged semi-continuous acetification process. Experiments were conducted under reciprocal shaking at 1 Hz and a temperature of 32 ◦C. The performance of the two systems (LS-AAB and LSK-AAB respectively) was evaluated based on cell dry weight (CDW), acetification rate, and BC biofilm formation. Results. The use of LS significantly increased the biomass yield during acetification, achieving a CDW of 3.34 mg/L versus the 0.91 mg/L obtained with planktonic cells. Coating LS with κ-carrageenan further enhanced yield, with a CDW of 4.45 mg/L. Acetification rates were also higher in the LSK-AAB system, reaching 3.33 ± 0.05 g/L d as opposed to 2.45 ± 0.05 g/L d for LS-AAB and 1.13 ± 0.05 g/L d for planktonic cells. Additionally, BC biofilm formation during the second operational cycle was more pronounced in the LSK-AAB system (37.0 ± 3.0 mg/L, as opposed to 25.0 ± 2.0 mg/L in LS-AAB). Conclusions. This study demonstrates that LS significantly improves the efficiency of the acetification process, particularly when enhanced with κ-carrageenan. The increased biomass yield, accelerated acetification, and enhanced BC biofilm formation highlight the potential of the LS-AAB system, and especially the LSK-AAB variant, in sustainable and effective vinegar production. These systems offer a promising approach for small-scale, semi-continuous acetification processes that aligns with eco-friendly practices and caters to specialized market needs. Finally, this innovative method facilitates the dual production of acetic acid and bacterial cellulose, with potential applications in biotechnological fields.

If a non-destructive and rapid technique to determine the textural properties of cooked germinated brown rice (GBR) was developed, it would hold immense potential for the enhancement of the quality control process in large-scale commercial rice production. We combined the Fourier transform near-infrared (NIR) spectral data of uncooked whole grain GBR with partial least squares (PLS) regression and an artificial neural network (ANN) for an evaluation of the textural properties of cooked germinated brown rice (GBR); in addition, data separation and spectral pretreatment methods were investigated. The ANN was outperformed in the evaluation of hardness by a back extrusion test of cooked GBR using the smoothing combined with the standard normal variate pretreated NIR spectra of 188 whole grain samples in the range of 4000–12,500 cm−1. The calibration sample set was separated from the prediction set by the Kennard–Stone method. The best ANN model for hardness, toughness, and adhesiveness provided R2, r2, RMSEC, RMSEP, Bias, and RPD values of 1.00, 0.94, 0.10 N, 0.77 N, 0.02 N, and 4.3; 1.00, 0.92, 1.40 Nmm, 9.98 Nmm, 1.6 Nmm, and 3.5; and 0.97, 0.91, 1.35 Nmm, 2.63 Nmm, −0.08 Nmm, and 3.4, respectively. The PLS regression of the 64-sample KDML GBR group and the 64-sample GBR group of various varieties provided the optimized models for the hardness of the former and the toughness of the latter. The hardness model was developed by using 5446.3–7506 and 4242.9–4605.4 cm−1, which included the amylose vibration band at 6834.0 cm−1, while the toughness model was from 6094.3 to 9403.8 cm−1 and included the 6834.0 and 8316.0 cm−1 vibration bands of amylose, which influenced the texture of the cooked rice. The PLS regression models for hardness and toughness had the r2 values of 0.85 and 0.82 and the RPDs of 2.9 and 2.4, respectively. The ANN model for the hardness, toughness, and adhesiveness of cooked GBR could be implemented for practical use in GBR production factories for product formulation and quality assurance and for further updating using more samples and several brands to obtain the robust models.

The textural qualities of cooked rice may be understood as a dominant property and indicator of eating quality. In this study, we evaluated the precision and sensitivity of a back extrusion (BE) test for the texture of cooked germinated brown rice (GBR) in a production process. BE testing of the textural properties of cooked GBR rice showed a high precision of measurement in hardness, toughness and stickiness tests which indicated by the repeatability and reproductivity test but the sensitivity indicated by coefficient of variation of the texture properties. The findings of our study of the effects on cooked GBR texture of different soaking and incubation durations in the production of Khao Dawk Mali 105 (KDML 105) GBR, as measured by BE testing, confirmed that our original protocol for evaluation of the precision and sensitivity of this texture measurement method. The coefficients of determination (R2) of hardness, toughness and stickiness tests and the incubation time at after 48 hours of soaking were 0.82, 0.81 and 0.64, respectively. The repeatability and reproducibility of reliable measurements, which have a low standard deviation of the greatest difference between replicates, are considered to indicate high precision. A high coefficient of variation where relatively wide variations in the absolute value of the property can be detected indicates high sensitivity when small resolutions can be detected, and vice versa. The sensitivity of the BE tests for stickiness, toughness and hardness all ranked higher, in that order, than the sensitivity of the method for adhesiveness, which ranked lowest. The coefficients of variation of these texture parameters were 31.26, 20.59, 19.41 and 18.72, respectively. However, the correlation coefficients among the texture properties obtained by BE testing were not related to the precision or sensitivity of the test. By obtaining these results, we verified that our original protocol for the determination of the precision and sensitivity of food texture measurements which was successfully used for GBR texture measurement.

The current approach to gluconic acid production is acetification at 30°C, a temperature that can be difficult to maintain in tropical countries. This study investigated the production of gluconic acid during acetification by Acetobacter aceti WK at high temperatures. An acid-tolerant and thermotolerant species, A. aceti WK, was used for acetification at three different temperatures, namely, 30°C (normal temperature), 37°C, and 40°C (high temperature). Acetification was performed in a 100 L bioreactor with 0.15% CaCl<inf>2</inf> for protection of the cells against high temperatures. The production of the organic acids, that is, acetic acid, gluconic acid, 2-keto gluconic acid, glucuronic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, and formic acid, was analyzed. Under acetification in the target total concentration of 80 g/L, the highest acetic acid content (39.3 g/L) was obtained at 37°C with an acetification rate of 0.3013 g/L/h, while the acetic acid content and acetification rate achieved at 30°C were 31 g/L and 0.3089 g/L/h, respectively. Additionally, gluconic acid presented at the highest concentration of 2.17 g/L. The rate of production of gluconic acid was 0.0169 g/L/h at 37°C. This acetification process at 37°C will be valuable as an alternative source for gluconic acid production for commercial applications.

During recombinant protein expression in Pichia pastoris under the alcohol oxidase promoter, the culture supernatant developed green and yellow pigments, complicating downstream processing. Currently, a chromatography-based purification approach is one of the most efficient strategies to eliminate these pigments, but this method is complicated and often the most expensive step during processing. In this study, we designed a sequential cross-flow filtration by the combination of a microfiltration membrane with a pore size of 0.2 micrometers, followed by an ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular weight cut-off of 10 and 2 kilodaltons (kDa), respectively, and finished with diafiltration of the 10 and 2 kDa retentate fractions. The results show that the microfiltration membrane eliminated host cell impurities and significantly reduced the green pigment, which was measured using the 1976 CIE LAB system, while the 10 and 2 kDa membranes allowed the yellow pigment to pass through. The diafiltration steps also significantly reduced the yellow pigment. The host cell proteins were removed by recirculating in the retentate fraction of the 10 kDa membrane, while the 4.1 kDa target peptide, the candidate cell-penetrating antimicrobial peptide, was recovered by recirculation in the retentate fraction of the 2 kDa membrane.

The instability of the protein expression in Pichia pastoris strains has been an issue for various peptide productions. Some modifications to the traditional fermentation process could potentially solve the problem. Here, we consider a four-stage fermentation process to express the CAP2 (cell-penetrating antimicrobial peptide 2) candidate in P. pastoris KM71H, a slow methanol utilization strain. During the fermentation process, CAP2 productivity is limited (6.15 ± 0.21 mg/L·h) by the low overall methanol consumption (approximately 645 g), which is mainly the result of the slow methanol utilization of the P. pastoris KM71H. To overcome this limitation, we increased the cell concentration two-fold prior to the induction stage. A fed-batch process with exponential and dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) stat feeding strategies was deployed to control the glycerol feed, resulting in an increase in cell concentration and enhancement of the volumetric methanol consumption rate. The improved fermentation process increased the overall methanol consumption (approximately 1070 g) and the CAP2 productivity (13.59 ± 0.24 mg/L·h) by 1.66 and 2.21 times, respectively. In addition, the CAP3 (cell-penetrating antimicrobial peptide 3) candidate could also be produced using this improved fermentation process at a high yield of 3.96 ± 0.02 g/L without any further optimization. Note that there was no oxygen limitation during the improved fermentation process operating at high cell density. This could be due to the controlled substrate addition via the DOT stat system.
