TL;DR: Results show that while 'health' is a major consumer motive, a broad diversity of drivers influence the clean label trend with particular relevance of intrinsic or extrinsic product characteristics and socio-cultural factors, however, 'free from' artificial additives/ingredients food products tend to differ from organic and natural products.

TL;DR: Interactions between ingested fermented food, intestinal microbiota and their correlations to metabolomics profiles and health represent an important perspective deserving to be further explored.

TL;DR: Data implied that blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, and grapes can be useful for replacing/decreasing synthetic antioxidants in meat products, since meats are highly susceptible to oxidation.

TL;DR: This review provides comprehensive information of phenolic compounds identified in grain legume seeds along with discussing their antioxidant and health promoting activities.

TL;DR: In this review, the main mechanisms of fatty acids and cholesterol oxidation are described as well as the influence of salt on lipid oxidation in meat and seafood are described and potential solutions to inhibit the salt action in lipid oxidation and decrease the salt content in food are discussed.

TL;DR: A historical account of the extensive efforts and inventions in the field of emerging food processing technologies since their inception to present day is provided.

TL;DR: The results of these studies demonstrated that the health value, shelf-life and overall quality of foods can be improved through the addition of either seaweeds or seaweed extracts.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the extraction and purification methods for the macroalgal polysaccharides laminarin and fucoidan used in the recent literature.

TL;DR: This study presents an overview of the relationship between knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of food handler with training in food safety, in addition to proposing reflections on the training of food handlers, considering its responsibility for food safety and health of consumers.

TL;DR: Positive correlation between total phenolics versus the FRAP and ORAC methods was established which led to conclusion that antioxidant activity of propolis is mainly due to its phenolic compounds.

TL;DR: Research studies are approaching the nutritional quality of plant-based dairy substitutes, such as improving the protein quality and glycaemic properties, and there is still a need for much more diversified studies in order to overcome stability, textural, nutritional and sensory problems.

TL;DR: The molecular docking revealed that quercetin bound to the active site of tyrosinase and chelated a copper with the 3', 4'-dihydroxy groups, and it can be deduced that the chelation may prevent the entrance of substrate and then inhibit the catalytic activity of tyosinase.

TL;DR: The results of this study show that the low-field NMR and MRI methods can precisely provide the quantitative information of water status inside food materials, and can be used to investigate the effects of food processing on product quality.

TL;DR: Oleogels have made significant strides towards emulating desired sensory traits while maintaining healthy nutritional profile of the oil over the past decade, and the most promising technologies will be reviewed.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to present an overview of the current knowledge of exopolysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria, and how they can be exploited in the area of cereal science and gluten-free.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the recent and emerging trends in food supply chains of selected sectors (fruits and vegetables, meat, and seafood), and deepen on emerging trends of food industry.

TL;DR: This study applied a nontargeted metabolomics approach based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF/MS) to comprehensively profile the characteristic metabolites of white tea.

TL;DR: The nutritional composition of Brazil nuts is examined, comparing it with other nuts, and the relevance of possible contaminants and metal toxicants observed in this nut for human health is described.

TL;DR: Probiotics are proposed as an alternative antimicrobial means to protect against pathogenic microorganisms for better healthcare and food safety, with special emphasis on the agriculture (livestock and aquaculture sectors), and food industries.

TL;DR: In brief, encapsulation of essential oil compounds such as thymol in electrospun CD-IC nanofibers can promote its potential application in food and oral-care products by associating the large surface area of nan ofibrous webs along with CD inclusion complexation which provides enhanced water solubility and antioxidant property, and high temperature stability forThymol.

TL;DR: The results of the search indicate that wild fruits and vegetables are nutritionally rich and high in phytochemicals, especially antioxidants and therefore can possibly play a significant and positive role in delivering a healthy and balanced diet.

TL;DR: This review presents a compilation of the current available information about xanthophyll ester analyses and occurrence and a practical guide for extraction, pre-chromatographic procedures, separation and identification by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

TL;DR: There is a missing link between the FA profile of sheep meat, human consumption patterns of sheep FA and chronic diseases, and several innovative strategies have been evaluated for their potential to enrich sheep meat with FA which may have human health benefits.

TL;DR: PEF's potential for selectively extraction C-phycocyanin from fresh A. platensis biomass was demonstrated and the purity of the C-physiological extract obtained from the electroporated cells was higher than that obtained using other techniques based on the cell complete destruction.

TL;DR: H. sabdariffa extracts showed antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, highlighting that the hydroethanol extract presents not only lipid peroxidation inhibition capacity, but also bactericidal/fungicidal inhibition ability for all the bacteria and fungi tested.

TL;DR: Alkaline extraction was shown to yield the best protein/algae liquefaction ratio (1.28) and was found to be optimum for extraction of amino acids from A. nodosum.

TL;DR: Investigation of the phenolic profile and chemometric discrimination of fruits from six cherry cultivars using a quantitative metabolomics approach found anthocyanins and flavonols patterns have the potential to be used for the determination of a varietal assignment of cherries.

TL;DR: It is concluded that even with high interest and good products, willing consumers still hesitate to consume insect-based foods regularly due to other practical and socio-cultural factors.

TL;DR: The results showed that EGCG3″Me may have prebiotic-like activity and can be used as a functional food component with potential therapeutic utility in manipulating intestinal microbiota, contributing to the prevention of gut dysbiosis.

TL;DR: Women attached more importance than men on type of container, brewing technology and type of brewer, which is relevant to understanding consumers'behavior in the beer market and to translating consumer needs, wants and expectations into manufacturing designed to produce the best possible, cost-competitive, widely accepted product in a relatively short period.
