Soaking Water Management Strategies for Enhanced Quality of Parboiled Rice

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Parboiling is a hydrothermal process that alters rice physicochemical and nutritional properties. The soaking step is crucial, influencing off‐flavor formation, mineral retention, and effluent quality. This study evaluated five soaking water (SW) management strategies combining different frequencies and volumes of SW ...

Optimising the Eco‐Friendly Extraction of Carotenoids From Gac Fruit: A Sustainable Solution for Natural Red Food Colourants

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Gac fruit's high carotenoid content, especially in the aril, makes it an excellent natural red pigment source for food applications, offering a safer alternative to synthetic dyes. Ethanol extraction achieved the highest overall pigment recovery (89.53%), whereas ethyl lactate extraction yielded the highest levels of total carotenoids, β‐carotene ...
