Sensory and nutritional properties of mango pulp thawed by different ultrasound intensities and temperatures were studied. Compared to water immersion thawing, a thawing time reduction of 16-64% (p < 0.05) and more phenolic acids contents (gallic, hydroxybenzoic, and caffeic acid) were observed after ultrasonic thawing. The sensory evaluation revealed texture and aroma deterioration at higher ultrasonic intensities (4 degrees C: 0.074 W/mL; 25 degrees C: 0.123 W/mL) due to increase in viscosity and some volatile compounds in the mango pulp. Ultrasonic thawing treatment at 25 degrees C reduced thawing time by 51-73% compared to that at 4 degrees C. Mango pulp processed at 25 degrees C exhibited better sensory quality and retained 26.5-58.5% more total phenol and 8.7-11.0% more total carotenoid contents. In short, higher ultrasonic intensities (0.074-0.123 W/mL) at a temperature of 25 degrees C contributed to better thawing efficiency and nutritional quality. The results demonstrated that ultrasound processing at optimized conditions could serve as a potential alternative to conventional thawing processing of mango pulp.

Kinetics and thermodynamics of Cr (VI) reduction by Tamarindus indica methanol leaves extract under optimized reaction conditions

Babangida Sanusi Katsayal, Abdullahi Balarabe Sallau, Aliyu Muhammad

Summary: This study investigates the reduction of Cr (VI) contamination using Tamarindus indica methanol leaves extract as a reductant. The results demonstrate that the reduction of Cr (VI) is influenced by factors such as temperature, hydrogen ion concentration, reaction time, and reactant concentrations. The reaction follows kinetic models such as the pseudo-second-order kinetic model at pH of 2, and the first-order and pseudo-first-order kinetic models at neutral and alkaline pH values, respectively. The findings suggest that the reaction is spontaneous, exothermic, and orderly unstable. The phytocompounds present in tamarind methanol leaves extract show potential for treating Cr (VI) contaminated wastewater.

Yanan Wang, Jiachen Shi, Yong-Jiang Xu, Chin-Ping Tan, Yuanfa Liu

Summary: This study investigates the variations in lipid digestion profiles among individuals of different ages using in vitro digestion models. The findings suggest that adults have a more comprehensive lipid digestion compared to infants, and infants tend to release shorter chain length and more saturated free fatty acids during digestion. Additionally, the particle sizes in the stomach of the elderly were consistently larger. This study enhances our understanding of how lipids with different degrees of unsaturation undergo digestion in diverse age groups.

Mechanism of aroma enhancement methods in accelerating Congou black tea acidification subjected to room temperature storage

Zixuan Xie, De Zhang, Junyu Zhu, Qianqian Luo, Jun Liu, Jingtao Zhou, Xiaoyong Wang, Yuqiong Chen, Zhi Yu, Dejiang Ni

Summary: This study investigated the acidification of aroma-enhanced black tea during storage. Analysis of non-volatile substances and organic acids using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and HPLC revealed a decrease in soluble sugars and amino acids, while an increase in organic acids such as oxalic acid, malic acid, and quinic acid. In vitro experiments further demonstrated that the acidification is a result of the decomposition of sugars and amino acids by heating, as well as the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes. Additionally, the study showed that the taste composition of tea infusion is altered, with reduced amino acids, catechins, soluble sugars, and flavonoids. This research provides a theoretical basis for improving the quality of black tea.
