Thermo‐sonication parameters were optimized to maximize PPO inactivation while maintaining overall juice quality. ANFIS demonstrated superior predictive accuracy with higher R2 and lower RMSE compared to RSM. Further, the quality assessment of treated juice highlighted the potential of thermo‐sonication as a sustainable alternative to conventional ...

Mango Seed Valorization: Sustainable Source of Nutrients, Bioactives, and Value‐Added Applications
Highlighting mango seed as a valuable yet overlooked by‐product, promoting its utilization and reducing agroindustrial waste. ABSTRACT Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most widely cultivated tropical fruits, generating large quantities of by‐products during processing, with mango seed representing 20%–25% of the whole fruit weight ...

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
