Accelerating Fish🐟 Sauce Fermentation: Integrating Microbial, Biochemical and Physical Transformations for Optimised Processing⚗️
www.ftb.com.hr/archives/201...
#backslopping #autolysis #proteolyticactivity #SDG2 #SDG12 #fishsauce #ftbjournal
The chemical, microbial and sensory transformations involved in fish sauce fermentation and approaches to accelerating the process are summarised. Fish mixed with salt undergoes autolysis and hydrolysis, breaking down proteins and muscle tissue to form liquid fish sauce. Changes in microbial communities and the activity of enzymes, salts and microorganisms influence protein degradation, texture, colour and flavour development. Fermentation may be accelerated through backslopping and starter cultures, particularly Bacillus, Tetragenococcus and Virgibacillus strains, to enhance proteolytic activity and improve flavour profiles.

Acetylated Opuntia atropes🌵 Mucilage: Physicochemical Characterisation and Application in Low-Fat Yogurt🥛
www.ftb.com.hr/archives/200...
#cactusmucilage #hydrocolloids #SDG3 #SDG12 #dairy #foodstabilization #Opuntiaatropes #ftbjournal
The graphical abstract illustrates the extraction and acetylation of mucilage from Opuntia cladodes and its application in low-fat yogurt. The acetylated mucilage is incorporated at different concentrations, with or without gelatine, to evaluate its functional effects. The addition of acetylated mucilage reduces syneresis and improves water retention, while its combination with gelatine increases viscosity.

Plant Protein-Based Scaffolds for Cultivated🧫 Meat🍗 Production: A Review
www.ftb.com.hr/archives/200...
#cultivatedmeat #MuscleCells #PlantProtein #scaffolding #SDG12 #SDG13 #sustainability #ftbjournal
The graphical abstract illustrates the development of cultured meat using plant-derived proteins and animal cells. Proteins from corn, peas, peanuts, soybeans and wheat are processed into isolates or meal and combined with supporting polymers to produce scaffolds using techniques such as electrospinning, texturising, crusting, microcarriers, freeze-drying and 3D printing. Scaffolds are evaluated for structural, mechanical and stability properties before being seeded with animal cells obtained from biopsies or immortalised cell lines. Cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation and co-cultivation support the development of a cultured meat product.

The compounds exhibit enhanced antimicrobial and antioxidant activities and stronger protein–lipid interactions. Their incorporation into foods such as yoghurt, cheese and milk-based beverages may improve oxidative stability and functional value while supporting clean-label formulations.
