Summary: This study evaluated the impact of lipid reformulation on the properties of salamis. Two gels were produced, one with psyllium fiber (GP) and the other with a combination of this fiber and linseed oil (GL+P). The reformulation had minimal effect on pH and lactic acid bacteria during processing. It improved the nutrition of salamis but impacted their oxidative stability and sensory profiles.

Summary: Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to investigate the effects of different ingredients on the sensory descriptors of a spread based on pistachio oil. PCA revealed that adhesiveness, hardness, oiliness, and fluidness were the most significant factors. The power law model was found to be more accurate in fitting the samples. The optimum combination of variables (15% pistachio oil, 7.5% cocoa butter, 0.3% xanthan gum, and 1% distilled monoglyceride) produced desirable spreads that mimic commercial spreads.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
