Nutritional improvement of bhujia by incorporating colored bell peppers

Navpreet Kaur et al.

Summary: The present study aimed to improve the phytonutritional profile and antioxidant activity of a traditional snack called bhujia by incorporating bell pepper. Drying the bell peppers at 50 degrees C resulted in an increase in total phenols and retention of carotenoids and antioxidant activity. The optimized formulation of bhujia with bell pepper powder showed increased density, minerals, phytonutritional profile, and sensory attributes. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed the presence of various phytochemicals in the prepared products. Storage studies showed minimal changes in physicochemical parameters.

Influence of different extraction techniques on the extraction of phytochemicals and antioxidant activities from Syzygium cumini (jamun) pomace using Taguchi orthogonal array design: a qualitative and quantitative approach

Navjot Kaur et al.

Summary: This study explored three different methods for extracting phytochemicals from Syzygium cumini pomace, and found that microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) had the best extraction efficiency. By optimizing the extraction conditions, the researchers obtained the optimal conditions for MAE and confirmed the presence of phytochemicals through qualitative and quantitative analysis using FTIR and HPLC. SEM analysis showed that MAE had better structural opening of the pomace compared to the other methods.

Dehydration of date fruit (Pheonix dactylifera L.) for the production of natural sweet powder

Fayeza Hasan et al.

Summary: This study aimed to produce natural additive-free date fruit powder and determined the optimal drying temperature of 70 degrees Celsius for two date fruit varieties. Barakawi date powder outperformed Sukkari date powder in terms of water activity and clumping due to its lower initial moisture content. To overcome the clumping issue, the powders were compressed into tablets and cubes. The study also compared fine and coarse fractions of date fruit powders for various physical parameters.

Date fruit processing waste and approaches to its valorization: A review

Sepideh Oladzad et al.

Summary: Dates are a traditional and economically valuable crop in the Middle East and North Africa, playing an essential role in people's daily diets. The waste generated from date fruit production and processing, such as Date press cake (DPC), can be valorized to produce products like volatile fatty acids and activated carbon. This review discusses the feasibility of using DPC as a green precursor for various chemical and biological processes.

Exploration of potato starches from non-commercial cultivars in ready to cook instant non cereal, non glutinous pudding mix

Rajdeep Singh et al.

Summary: This study explored different properties of potato starches from various cultivars and found that they have higher swelling power, solubility, and viscosities compared to corn starch. One specific potato starch, Kufri Pukhraj, was selected for making a non-cereal pudding mix due to its distinct pasting properties. The results showed that the non-cereal pudding mix using potato starch can be a potential replacement for corn starch in terms of quality and storage stability.

Total phenolic content in ripe date fruits (Phoenix dactylifera L.): A systematic review and meta-analysis

Nora Abdullah AlFaris et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the total phenolic content in ripe date fruits, finding them to possess high antioxidant activity due to their rich content of phenolic compounds. A total of 22 relevant studies were included in the review, which indicated that the antioxidant properties of ripe date fruits are mainly attributed to their potent total phenolic content.
