Monitoring Commercial Starter Culture Development in Presence of Red Grape Pomace Powder to Produce Polyphenol-Enriched Fresh Ovine Cheeses at Industrial Scale Level

The Effect of Red Grape Pomace Powder Replacement on Physical Characteristics and Acrylamide Content of Biscuit

Background and Objectives: Biscuit is the most popularly consumed bakery item, and due to higher consumption among children, increase of its nutritional value and safety is a necessity. Acrylamide is a potential carcinogen that is formed in carbohydrate-rich food products like biscuits at temperatures above 120oC. Among the various parameters, which affect acrylamide formation, the inhibitory e...

Proteolysis in model Portuguese cheeses: Effects of rennet and starter culture.

To shed further light onto the mechanisms of proteolysis that prevail throughout ripening of Portuguese cheeses, model cheeses were manufactured from bovine milk, following as much as possible traditional manufacture practices - using either animal or plant rennet. The individual role upon proteolysis of two (wild) strains of lactic acid bacteria - viz. Lactococcus lactis and Lactobacillus brev...

Comparison Between Effect of Grape Fermentative Product (red wine) and Fresh Red Grape Juice on Antioxidant Biomarkers of Liver Mitochondria Isolated from Rats in vitro

Effect of Grape Pomace Powder Addition on TBARS and Color of Cooked Pork Sausages during Storage

To determine the effects of grape skin and seed pomace (GSP) additions on the lipid oxidation susceptibility and the color change of cooked pork sausages, the chemical characteristics of GSP itself and the addition for two different levels of GSP (0.5 and 1.0% GSP, respectively) to sausages were examined. Both the redness and blueness of the GSP were significantly reduced as the pH level was in...

The protective effects of a polyphenol-enriched protein powder on exercise-induced susceptibility to virus infection.

Prolonged and intensive exercise induces transient immunosuppression and is associated with an increased risk and severity of infections. The goal of this study was to characterize the antiviral and antibacterial properties of the bioactive metabolites of a blueberry-green tea-polyphenol soy protein complex (PSPC) in the serum of supplemented subjects during a 3-day intensified training period....
