Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in commercial milk samples were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detection. The saturated fatty acids (SFA) were the most abundant. The major SFA were palmitic acid (16: 0), estearic acid (18: 0), and myristic acid (14: 0). Significant differences (P < 0.500) were found between the amounts of palmitic acid (276 +/- 17 mg g(-1) and 248 +/- 20 mg g(-1)) and myristic acid (95 +/- 5 mg g(-1) and 85 +/- 7 mg g(-1)) in samples. However, no difference was observed for estearic acid (113 +/- 6 mg g(-1) and 114 +/- 11 mg g(-1)). The conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomer 18: 2c9t11 was detected in the samples and quantified. However, the differences found between the samples analyzed were not significant (10.4 +/- 0.7 mg g(-1) and 9.9 +/- 0.6 mg g(-1)). The analysis of a certified reference powder milk sample (RM-8435 NIST) gave good recoveries (> 80%), indicating that the method can efficiently determine fatty acids in milk and dairy products.

Summary: This study investigated the optimal conditions for extracting anthocyanins from blackberry pomace using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) methods. The study found that UAE resulted in a significant increase in total anthocyanin content compared to conventional extraction methods. The extract contained a wide range of bioactive compounds, including anthocyanins, flavonols, and phenolic acids.

Bruno Henrique Figueiredo Saqueti, Eloize Silva Alves, Matheus Campos Castro, Isadora Boaventura Ponhozi, Jiuliane Martins Silva, Jesui Vergilio Visentainer, Oscar Oliveira Santos

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of dehydration and roasting on the chemical composition, fatty acid composition, antioxidant activity, and other aspects of jurubeba. The results showed that roasting increased the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids in jurubeba, and also increased its antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds. The principal component analysis revealed no clear similarity between the samples.

Comparison of the chemical composition of grape seed oil extracted by different methods and conditions

Maraisa Lopes de Menezes, Gracielle Johann, Alexandre Diorio, Joana Schuelter Boeing, Jesui Vergilio Visentainer, Ana Caroline Raimundini Aranha, Nehemias Curvelo Pereira

Summary: Grape seeds, the byproduct of grape processing, contain oil with high-quality compounds. Grape seed oil extracted using different methods showed variations in physicochemical properties, fatty acid composition, antioxidant capacity, degree of unsaturation, and critical properties. The highest antioxidant capacity was observed in lipophilic and hydrophilic extracts, and the content of linoleic acid differed based on the extraction method. Cabernet Sauvignon and Ives grape seeds had oil contents ranging from 7% to 18%, with varying concentrations of saturated, mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The ultrasound-assisted extraction method resulted in the highest oil content under specific conditions.

Effects of pasteurization and high-pressure processing on the fatty acids, triacylglycerol profile, Dornic acidity, and macronutrients in mature human milk

Jesui Vergilio Visentainer, Luciana Pelissari Manin, Adriela Albino Rydlewski, Jessica Santos Pizzo, Victor Hugo Maldonado da Cruz, Eloize da Silva Alves, Patricia Daniele Silva Santos, Jane Martha Graton Mikcha, Marcelo Cristianini, Oscar Oliveira Santos

Summary: The effects of high-pressure processing (HPP) and Holder pasteurization (HoP) on mature human milk were compared. Both processes eliminated microorganisms and showed no significant differences in macronutrients and acidity. HPP had a higher concentration of palmitic and oleic acids. The TAG profile analysis suggested that HPP with lower pressures was more beneficial and could be a promising alternative to HoP in human milk banks.

Application of essential oils as sanitizer alternatives on the postharvest washing of fresh produce

Jessica S. Pizzo, Jesui V. Visentainer, Andre L. B. R. da Silva, Camila Rodrigues

Summary: Growers commonly use chemical sanitizers to wash fresh produce during postharvest handling, but this poses risks to both the washing systems and workers' health. Essential oils such as thyme, oregano, cinnamon, and clove have been studied as potential alternatives to chemical sanitizers for produce washing. The combination of essential oils and surfactants can enhance the antimicrobial activity of emulsions, but further research is needed to evaluate the effect of different chemical components of essential oils and preparations. Overcoming challenges such as high levels of essential oils needed, unwanted impact on produce quality, and poor solubility in aqueous solutions should also be addressed.

Biogenic silver nanoparticles and cinnamaldehyde as an effective sanitizer for fresh sweet grape tomatoes

Andreia Farias Pereira Batista, Luana Carolina Martins Rosa, Jessica Santos Pizzo, Alex Fiori da Silva, Jesui Vergilio Visentainer, Benicio Alves de Abreu Filho, Renata Katsuko Takayama Kobayashi, Gerson Nakazato, Jane Martha Graton Mikcha

Summary: This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of cinnamaldehyde (CIN) and biogenic silver nanoparticles (BioAgNP) both alone and in combination against Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. The combination of CIN and BioAgNP showed a synergistic effect at low concentrations and effectively inhibited the growth of E. coli on fresh sweet grape tomatoes within 5 minutes of contact. Furthermore, this combination did not significantly alter the physicochemical properties of the tomatoes and could potentially be used for decontamination of fruits and vegetables to prevent foodborne diseases.

Jessica Santos Pizzo, Raira Andrade Pelvine, Andre Luiz Biscaia Ribeiro da Silva, Jane Martha Graton Mikcha, Jesui Vergilio Visentainer, Camila Rodrigues

Summary: Essential oils containing oregano and winter savory were found to effectively reduce Escherichia coli O157:H7 on lettuce surfaces, with the mixture of oregano and winter savory at concentrations of 0.94 and 1.88 μL/mL being the most effective. These findings suggest that essential oils could be potential alternatives to chemical sanitizers for postharvest lettuce washing.

Summary: The reuse of separated whey can reduce human milk waste. However, the authors were not aware of the literature on treatments in human whey, such as pasteurization, freeze-drying, spray drying, and high hydrostatic pressure. This study applied treatments to human whey and evaluated their lipid and immunological quality. Different effects on the triacylglycerol profile were observed for spray drying and high hydrostatic pressure, while pasteurization and freeze-drying showed similar results to the control whey. Pasteurization was found to be suitable for maintaining lipid nutritional quality and TGF-I31 concentration, while increased IL-10 levels were observed after freeze-drying, spray drying, and high hydrostatic pressure. It is important to consider individual characteristics and desired quality when using these treatments as complementary products for infant feeding.

Summary: In this study, human milk samples obtained from milk banks were subjected to different treatments and evaluated for their composition and quality. The total lipid content was maintained during the treatments. There were no significant differences in the composition and energetic value between raw and pasteurized human milk, but differences were observed in ash, total proteins, and energetic value between freeze-dried and pasteurized + freeze-dried human milk. The fatty acid composition showed no significant differences for the majority of fatty acids. Principal component analysis revealed similar behaviors between freeze-dried and pasteurized + freeze-dried human milk. These findings suggest that the applied processes hold promise for the preservation of proximal characteristics and fatty acid composition in human milk.
