Summary: Finding high-value alternative protein sources for sparing fish meal in aquafeeds is essential for sustainable development in aquaculture. Recent research suggests that biofloc can be a promising option due to its protein and lipid content, as well as its beneficial microorganisms and nutrients. Incorporating biofloc into feeds can improve growth, feed efficiency, and immune health.

Summary: This article reviews recent research on 3D food printing, including improving food ink printing performance through different protein sources, using high internal phase emulsion or oleogels as fat replacements and nutrition delivery systems, and incorporating functional active ingredients. It discusses the importance of 3D food printing for improving appetite and dietary intake in the elderly, while also addressing critical obstacles such as energy supplements, nutrition balance, and recipe customization. By combining big data and artificial intelligence technology, personalized and customized geriatric foods based on individual traits can be achieved. This article provides a theoretical basis and development direction for future 3D food printing for the elderly.

Summary: This paper reviews different aspects of cocoa beverage production and quality, including instant and ready-to-drink beverages, additives to improve quality characteristics, alternative processing techniques, and problems that may arise during production. The subject of cocoa-based beverages is still relatively under-researched, and further efforts should be made to design beverages with reduced sugar content and enriched with bioactive compounds. Alternative processing techniques and increasing bioaccessibility of micro- and macroelements are also important areas for further investigation.

Summary: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are common plant-derived toxins that have contaminated retail honey in Ethiopia, with 77% of samples found containing PAs. Further contamination was found in mead, an alcoholic beverage made from local honey. Long-term exposure to PAs caused liver damage in mice, with alcohol consumption exacerbating the hepatotoxic effects.

Summary: The quality of cassava can be measured using NIR spectroscopy to determine the starch content and dry matter content. A model developed from different scanning methods and surface conditions was compared, and the accuracy of the model using selected wavelengths was assessed. The prediction accuracy was found to depend on the scanning method, with the horizontal spectra obtaining the highest accuracy. The CARS-PLSR method was considered appropriate for predicting starch content, and the BOSS-PLSR method for predicting dry matter content.

Summary: The production, marketing and consumption of grape juices have been constantly increasing in recent years due to consumers' search for products with proven health benefits. Brazilian data shows that grape juice produced from V. labrusca L. and hybrids has a lower soluble solids content, with more than half of the production falling between 14 and 16 degrees Brix. This suggests the need to re-discuss the 16 degrees Brix limit established by CXS 247-2005.

Summary: Turkey's geographical location and climate conditions are suitable for growing various fruit species, with apricots being the most famous. Local and foreign varieties differ significantly in terms of soluble solids and acid content. The low taste values in foreign varieties are mainly due to their genotypic structure and early harvest. There are also differences in the main sugars and acid content among different apricot varieties.
