Abstract: Sourdough is a complex ecosystem, where lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts are dominant organisms. LAB isolated from sourdough can be employed as a biotechnological starters to improve the safety and functionality of food and feed, to provide added value and to increase safety of food industry by-products, to design synthesis of functional molecules in fermentable substrates, and to moderate the te...
In some countries, the use of insects as food is traditional. However, in Europe, this alternative source of nutrients is still new, and consumers react differently to this offer. With the regulation of some raw materials prepared from insects in Europe, a need has arisen for their adaptation in the food industry. Today it is important to understand that consumers in Europe are not ready to choose insects as a ...
The study aimed at the development of a sufficient technology to improve sensory, textural, physical, and microbiological properties of peas snacks (Ps) using solid- state fermentation (SSF) and submerged fermentation (SMF) with two different lac- tic acid bacteria (LAB) strains (Lactobacillus casei LUHS210 and Lactobacillus uvarum LUHS245) for 24 hr and ultrasonication (10, 20, and 30 min). To ensure safety of...
This study aims to develop nutraceutical beverages containing food processing by-products in their formulation, and determine the opinion of consumers. This is done by testing whether they know that the main ingredients of the product are by-products, performing an overall acceptability test of the developed beverages, and evaluating the emotions induced by the newly developed beverages for consumers. The main ...
