Summary: Tea polyphenols have the ability to inhibit lipid and protein oxidation in walnut oil in-water emulsions. Low levels of tea polyphenols are effective at inhibiting oxidation, but high levels may actually promote protein oxidation. Therefore, using an appropriate concentration of tea polyphenols can enhance the quality and shelf life of emulsified polyunsaturated lipids.

Summary: This study selected 14 Syrah red wines with different initial composition and antioxidant properties and conducted three different accelerated ageing tests. The results showed high correlations between the initial phenolic composition and antioxidant properties of the samples. Partial least squares (PLS) regressions were used to establish models that can predict the AATs test results based on their different initial composition and antioxidant properties. The PLS regression models had overall very good accuracy with correlation coefficients (r2) > 0.89.

Summary: This study aimed to reutilize tomato pomace, a by-product of the tomato-processing industry, in the development of tomato sauce and assess its nutritional content and bioaccessibility. The innovative tomato sauce products showed higher levels of carotenoids, α-tocopherol, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) compared to traditional sauce. Bioaccessibility of carotenoids and α-tocopherol varied among the different tomato sauce formulations, while total polyphenols content was higher in the sauce with 100% tomato pomace.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of solvent composition and temperature on mass transfer during soybean oil packed-bed extraction using ethanol/isopropyl alcohol mixtures. The results showed that ethanol-rich mixtures are limited by convection, while isopropyl alcohol-rich mixtures are limited by internal diffusion. Economic analysis indicated that isopropyl alcohol is more suitable for low-yield extractions, while ethanol is more suitable for high-yield extractions.

Summary: This study observed the changes in microbiological, physiochemical, and textural properties of fresh cheeses made from cow or goat milk under hyperbaric and refrigerated storage. The results showed that hyperbaric storage at room temperature inhibited microbial growth and improved the stability of the cheeses. However, it also caused whey loss, reduction in moisture content, and textural changes. Overall, hyperbaric storage reduced microbial load and had minimal effects on quality parameters, thus extending the shelf-life of fresh cheeses.

Summary: Alopecia and gray hair are common hair abnormalities with psychological impacts, and chemical treatments have distressing side effects. This study focused on the waste of rice cultivars from Thailand and evaluated their potential for hair revitalization. The BB4CMU rice bran oil (RBO) showed comparable melanin production induction to the standard drug theophylline, and it also exhibited inhibitory effects on steroid 5 alpha-reductase genes. Thus, BB4CMU-RBO could be a promising candidate for hair revitalization from natural resources.
