Edible yams are tropical crops that serve as important staple foods in many parts of the world. The rhizome of Dioscorea japonica, well-known as "Japanese yam", is a food and medicinal source known as "San Yak" in Korea....
1,3-beta-Glucans are a class of natural polysaccharides with unique pharmacological properties and the ability to form single- and triple-helical structures that can be formed into resilient gels with the application of ...
Macroalgae have for centuries been consumed whole among the East Asian populations of China, Korea, and Japan. Due to the environment in which they grow, rnacroalgae produce unique and interesting biologically active com...
Antioxidant foods and ingredients are an important component of the food industry. In the past, antioxidants were used primarily to control oxidation and retard spoilage, but today many are used because of putative healt...
The present work describes a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. (MS/MS) method to quantify 24 pesticides in fortified white wine and fortified red wine. In this study "fortifi...
Because of the increasing use of maize hybrids with genetically modified (GM) stacked events, the established and commonly used bulk sample methods for PCR quantification of GM maize in non GM maize are prone to overesti...
A liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry method has been developed for the direct and simultaneous determination of 10 low molecular mass organic acids in different plant tissue ex...
A standard method for assaying protein in red wine is currently lacking. The method described here is based on protein precipitation followed by dye binding quantification. Improvements over existing approaches include m...
Nontargeted 400 MHz (13)C and (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used in the context of food surveillance to reveal Pinus species whose nuts cause taste disturbance following their consumption, the so...
The present study aimed to develop a methodology using capillary electrophoresis for the determination of sinapaldehyde, syringaldehyde, coniferaldehyde, and vanillin in whiskey samples. The main objective was to obtain ...
Food allergies are important food safety issues nowadays. To maintain the safety of people who experience allergic reactions, labeling is required in many countries and efficient and reliable detection methods are necess...
In this work, a polyclonal antibody for acrylamide (AA) was obtained by immunization of rabbits with N-acryloxysuccinimide (NAS) and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) conjugate. A direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (...
Protein oxidation in meat is considered to decrease meat tenderness due to protein disulfide cross-link formation of thiol-containing amino acid residues. An LC-MS method for detection of thiol-quinone adducts (RS-QH(2))...
In an attempt to elevate temperature to facilitate glycation, a nonenzymatic reaction by incubation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and fructose at 50 degrees C for 24 h has been developed. As conducted and compared to a r...
A novel, fast, and straightforward procedure is presented for the characterization of starch (the largest energy component in food) and modified starches (such as octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA)-modified starches used a...
A genetic method to identify the breed of origin could serve as a useful tool for inspecting the authenticity of the increasing number of monobreed foodstuffs, such as those derived from small local European pig breeds. ...
