Pumpkin and chia seeds as functional foods and their application in different food products: A review

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional foods have gained increasing attention for their capacity to promote health and reduce chronic‐disease risk beyond basic nutrition. Among plant‐based functional ingredients, pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.) and chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seeds are nutrient‐dense sources of proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, tocopherols ...

Physicochemical and functional properties of alkali‐soluble nonstarch polysaccharide‐rich fraction from selected edible flowers

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Polysaccharides were alkaline‐extracted (NaOH/ethanol) from edible flowers, yielding 52−65% carbohydrates with co‐extracted protein and salts. FTIR, SEM, and XRD revealed uronic acids, glycosidic linkages, amorphous matrices, and crystalline salts. Marigold and rose showed high water‐holding, swelling, and oil‐holding capacities, whereas hibiscus was ...

Valorization of Citrus Waste for Recovery of Nutritional and Bioactive Compounds: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
The various citrus wastes, including the citrus fruit peels, pulp remaining after extraction of juice, and seeds, are the sources of bioactive compounds. The waste parts of oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and mandarins contain the bioactive compounds, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, essential oils, and carotenoids.

Genetic and Molecular Basis of Processing Traits and Genetic Improvement Progress in Major Fruit Crops

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Processing quality in fruit crops is governed by complex genetic networks controlling texture, sweetness, color, browning, aroma, and nutritional quality. Advances in genomics, genomic selection, and genome editing enable the development of processing‐oriented cultivars with improved industrial performance, reduced postharvest losses, and enhanced ...

Valorization of Pineapple Peel and Mature Coconut Water to Produce Vinegar

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Pineapple peel waste and mature coconut water were utilized as low‐cost substrates for vinegar production through a two‐stage fermentation process. During alcoholic fermentation, sugars in the substrate were converted into ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Postharvest Management to Preserve the Nutritional Quality of Vegetables: An Overview Based on Current Research Findings Across the Globe

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Postharvest losses in vegetables extend beyond mere quantitative reduction through physical deterioration and spoilage; they encompass substantial qualitative degradation, particularly the deterioration of critical nutritional constituents. Following harvest, vegetables maintain metabolic activity, and when subjected to suboptimal environmental ...

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic
