Chemical and conformational changes in proteins through clean label strategies for enhanced functionality: Recent advances

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Process‐based functionalization of food materials has gained immense interest as they contribute to the development of clean label ingredients that can offer similar functional properties as food additives of synthetic origin. Chemical and conformational changes in proteins can induce diverse and targeted functionalities that can be useful as ...

Chitosan oligosaccharides treatment preserves quality, increases disease resistance, and extends the shelf life of bananas during storage

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Chitosan oligosaccharides postharvest treatment effectively preserved quality, enhanced disease resistance, and increased shelf life of fruit. Abstract Different concentrations of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) (T0: Control, T1: 50 mg/L, T2: 100 mg/L, T3: 250 mg/L, T4: 500 mg/L, and T5: 1000 mg/L COS) were used to investigate the effects of this ...

Optimized Copper Pretreatment Protocols for Premium Green Raisin Production via Vacuum Impregnation and Metallo‐Complex Stabilization

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green raisin production is limited by rapid chlorophyll degradation during drying. This study evaluated copper metallo‐complex formation to stabilize green pigmentation in Vitis vinifera cv. Thompson Seedless grapes. Pretreatments with copper sulfate (CuSO4) pentahydrate (2%–6% w/v) were applied via dipping and vacuum impregnation (2–10 min ...
