Apple juice is rich in phenolic compounds that are important as natural antioxidants. In turn, blue honeysuckle berry juice is a valuable source of bioactive ingredients and can be an interesting and beneficial supplement to fruit juices. The aim of this study was to examine the physicochemical and sensory properties of the newly designed mixture of apple juice and blue honeysuckle berry juice. The addition of blue honeysuckle berry juice to apple juice had a significant effect on the content of anthocyanin and vitamin C in the newly designed fruit juices. After production, the content of anthocyanins and polyphenols in the blue honeysuckle berry juice was high (595.39 and 767.88 mg/100 mL, respectively). As the concentration of blue honeysuckle berry juice added to apple juice was increased, the polyphenol content also increased. The juices analyzed after 4 months of storage were lighter and showed a less intense red color than the juices analyzed directly after production. Antioxidant activity (ABTS assay) in the apple juice mixed with 10% blueberry juice was almost 3 times higher than the pure apple juice after 3 months of storage; the addition of 30% blueberry juice significantly increased the antioxidant activity of the apple juice. Thus, the results of this research have expanded the existing knowledge about the health and sensory properties of apple juice mixed with blue honeysuckle berry juice. These findings can be utilized in further research aiming at the development of new products that can meet consumer expectations.

Selenium in the Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 and Other Viruses

Marek Kieliszek

Summary: The rapid spread of new pathogens, such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has significant impacts on global public health and the global economy. Implementing new safety regulations effectively is crucial for controlling the spread of COVID-19 and influencing the health behavior of social groups. Some effective treatments, like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, were dismissed without clear reasons. Various measures are being taken worldwide to inhibit the development of the virus, and sodium selenite shows promise in reducing the incidence of COVID-19.

Extending the shelf life of mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruits by using edible coating based on xanthan gum and pomegranate peel extract

Nishant Kumar, Pratibha, Ashutosh Upadhyay, Anka Trajkovska Petkoska, Malgorzata Gniewosz, Marek Kieliszek

Summary: This study found that the addition of pomegranate peel extract to xanthan gum-based edible coatings had a significant impact on the functional and physico-chemical properties of mango fruits. Edible coatings based on 2% xanthan gum were found to be the most effective in maintaining the quality attributes and preventing postharvest characteristics of mango fruits.

Characterization of Aloe Vera Gel-Based Edible Coating with Orange Peel Essential Oil and Its Preservation Effects on Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus)

A. Shenbagam, Nishant Kumar, Kumar Rahul, Ashutosh Upadhyay, Malgorzata Gniewosz, Marek Kieliszek

Summary: This study investigated the effects of orange peel essential oils on the properties of aloe vera gel-based edible coating. The effects of the coating (with or without incorporation of orange peel essential oil) on the shelf life and characteristics of button mushrooms during storage were also studied. The results showed that the 50% concentration of aloe vera gel-based coating without essential oil had superior properties and could maintain the quality of mushrooms throughout storage. The highest concentration of orange peel essential oil significantly improved the postharvest quality of mushrooms and extended their shelf life.

Wheat Bread Enriched with Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa L.) Pomace: Physicochemical Properties and Sensory Evaluation

Grazyna Cacak-Pietrzak, Dariusz Dziki, Urszula Gawlik-Dziki, Natalia Parol-Nadlonek, Stanislaw Kalisz, Anna Krajewska, Sylwia Stepniewska

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the physicochemical and sensory properties of wheat bread enriched with chokeberry pomace. The addition of pomace increased water absorption, caused a decrease in dough stability, and resulted in decreased bread volume and increased crumb hardness. However, the pomace-enriched bread had higher contents of minerals, dietary fiber, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity. Sensory evaluation suggested that 3% addition of pomace should be the maximum. The addition of 3% pomace increased dietary fiber, ash, fat, and phenolics content, while reducing protein and carbohydrate content.

Physiological and genetic regulation of anhydrobiosis in yeast cells

Wioletta Sek, Anna M. Kot, Alexander Rapoport, Marek Kieliszek

Summary: Anhydrobiosis is a state in which the metabolism of living organisms is temporarily delayed or suspended due to dehydration. The viability of yeast cells during the drying process depends on rehydration. Various cellular structures and compounds, such as the cell wall, vacuoles, mitochondria, trehalose, and lipid droplets, play important roles in anhydrobiosis. Additionally, specific proteins and genes are responsible for this process.
