Item type:Publication, Power Converter Design for Pulsed Electric Field-Based Milk Processing: A Proof of Concept(MDPI AG, 2025-06-21); ; <jats:p>The microbiological safety of milk can be ensured through heat processing; however, this method has a negative effect on the sensory profile of this food product. Emerging technologies could be used as an alternative process for guaranteeing innocuity and maintaining sensory changes. An alternative is to evaluate pulsed electric field (PEF) electroporation, which is a method of processing cells using short pulses of a strong electric field. PEF has the potential to be a type of alternative low-temperature pasteurization process that consists of high-frequency voltage pulsations. Specifically, the presented work is a proof of concept for the design of a converter capable of generating a PEF to feed a load that meets the impedance characteristics of milk. The proposed converter is simulated using PLECS software (4.9.6 version) under impedance change scenarios that emulate variations in milk throughout the entire process. This research proposes the modification of a classic Vienna rectifier (adding an MBC—Multilevel Boost Converter structure) to supply a pulsating signal that could be used for low-temperature processes of milk to guarantee proper pasteurization. The characteristics of the generated high-voltage pulse make it feasible to quickly process the real sample. The control law design considers a regulation loop to achieve a voltage in the range of kV and a switching-type control law that activates switches in MMC arrays. These switches are activated randomly to avoid transients that cause significant stress on them.</jats:p>8 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, WEFE nexus unveiled: a comprehensive review of monitoring and modelling methods in the water-energy-food-ecosystems nexusSustainable resource management in the face of climate change is a pressing challenge for our society. This paper delves into the water-energy-food-ecosystems (WEFE) nexus, a scientific framework that supports the integrated assessment and management of the interconnected resources. Shifting from sectoral to cross-sectoral and transdisciplinary perspectives, the WEFE nexus addresses interdependencies and interactions among water, energy, food, ecosystems, and climate. This paper focuses on the extended nexus, incorporating ecosystems as a fourth pillar, underscoring the importance of considering ecosystems on an equal footing with water, energy, and food sectors. In addition, the paper emphasizes the significance of monitoring and modelling techniques, laying the foundations for understanding the nexus complexities and assessing uncertainty. The paper offers an overview of integrated nexus modelling, system analysis and socio-economic modelling, bridging the gap between nexus science and practice. It highlights the role of multifaceted stakeholder engagement methods, policy assessment, and institutional analysis in nexus models. Quantifying the nexus through indicators, and its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals, EU Green Deal, and EU Blue Deal are also key focal points. Finally, the last part of the paper addresses challenges in existing nexus modelling attempts, advocates for the integration of transdisciplinary information, and presents lessons learned. The paper concludes with recommendations for the future of the WEFE nexus, emphasizing its potential in fostering transformative change toward sustainable resource management and inclusive policymaking.18 57 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Physicochemical and techno-functional characterization of soluble proteins extracted by ultrasound from the cricket Acheta domesticus(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) ;Salvador O. Cruz-López ;Héctor B. Escalona-Buendía ;Isadora Martinez-Arellano; Yenizey M. Alvarez-CisnerosThe growing interest in using insects for human consumption is due to their numerous benefits. Insects offer efficient protein generation, rapid growth rates, and high nutritional value. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physicochemical and techno-functional properties of the different soluble protein fractions of the cricket Acheta domesticus using various methods: grinding (CF), defatting (DCF), alkalinization (SPA), and ultrasound-assisted extraction (SPS). CF, DCF, SPA, and SPS were used as extenders in food models and compared with a control group prepared with meat and a commercial soy protein (SPI). Defatting increased the protein content (52 %) in CF, improving digestibility, while the SPS extraction method improved solid recovery (40.46 %), protein recovery (41.94 %), total protein content (53.85 %), and digestibility (53.7 %) compared to SPA. Proteins exhibited pH-dependent solubility, with higher solubility at pH 12–13 and an isoelectric point of 4.5. In techno-functional properties, SPS had the highest water/oil retention capacity (2.8 g/g, 3.49 g/g), foam formation (386.66 %), and emulsifying stability (32.96 m2/g). CF showed no foam formation, although defatting (DCF) improved foam formation (8.33 %) and emulsifying stability (6.23 m2/g). Heat coagulation was higher for CF and DCF (30.58 % and 30.33 % respectively). All meat models with SPA and SPS showed high elasticity and cohesiveness but low hardness, gumminess, and chewiness. The model prepared with 15 % SPS reduced cooking losses (0.91 %) and total expressible fluid separation (1 %), improved water retention capacity (83.02 %), and increased total soluble protein content (5.32 mg/mL). The ultrasound-assisted extraction method proved to be an efficient way to obtain soluble proteins from Acheta domesticus with techno-functional properties suitable for use as a food additive or meat extender. © 2024 The Authors14 18 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Efficacy of fermented foods for the prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis and vulvovaginal candidiasis(Frontiers Media SA, 2025-11-21) ;Aslı Akpınar ;Lidia Hanna Markiewicz ;Hayriye Şebnem Harsa ;Diana Paveljšek<jats:p> Vaginal function in healthy women is closely associated with a lactobacilli-dominated microbiome. Among the most common conditions arising from dysbiosis are bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). While the efficacy of oral probiotics for the treatment of BV and VVC is well documented, the role of consuming fermented foods remains underexplored. This systematic review aims to present a systematic evaluation of the potential role of fermented foods in the prevention and treatment of BV and VVC and establish the extant research gap between the realm of the clinical sciences and the field of food science and technology. For this purpose, under the guidance of COST Action CA20128—Promoting Innovation of Fermented Foods (PIMENTO), a systematic literature review was conducted in two phases. PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were used for Phase I to analyze articles on human trials and observational studies where the intervention/exposure involved oral consumption of fermented food. In Phase II, a two-step search strategy was employed: (i) identifying microorganisms with demonstrated clinical efficacy in managing BV and VVC, and (ii) reviewing food science literature where these strains are utilized for fermentation. It was observed that 87% of the food starter applications exploited only two of the 54 efficacious strains identified through clinical studies, namely <jats:italic>Lactobacillus rhamnosus</jats:italic> GG and <jats:italic>Lactobacillus acidophilus</jats:italic> LA-5. Findings underscore the potential of fermented foods as carriers for beneficial microorganisms and their relevance in supporting vaginal health. This review contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between nutritional consumption of viable probiotic strains and their importance in immunomodulation, highlighting the need for more integrated research efforts across disciplines. Future research aimed at filling this gap will enable informed clinical decisions and dietary recommendations. </jats:p>16 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Health benefits and risks of fermented foods—the PIMENTO initiative(2024) ;Smilja Todorovic ;Asli Akpinar ;Ricardo Assunção ;Cornelia BärSimona L. Bavaro<jats:p>Worldwide, fermented foods (FF) are recognized as healthy and safe. Despite the rapid increase of research papers, there is a lack of systematic evaluation of the health benefits and risks of FF. The COST Action CA20128 “Promoting innovation of fermented foods” (PIMENTO) aims to provide a comprehensive assessment on the available evidence by compiling a set of 16 reviews. Seven reviews will cover clinical and biological endpoints associated with major health indicators across several organ systems, including the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, immune, and skeletal systems. Nine reviews will address broader biological questions associated with FF including bioactive compounds and vitamin production, nutrient bioavailability and bioaccessibility, the role of FF in healthy diets and personalized nutrition, food safety, regulatory practices, and finally, the health properties of novel and ethnic FF. For each outcome assessed in the reviews, an innovative approach will be adopted based on EFSA’s published guidance for health claim submissions. In particular, each review will be composed of three parts: (1) a systematic review of available human studies; (2) a non-systematic review of the mechanism of action related to the clinical endpoints measured by the human studies identified in part 1; and (3) a non-systematic review of the characterization of the FF investigated in the human studies identified in part 1. The evidence and research gaps derived from the reviews will be summarized and published in the form of a strategic road map that will pave the way for future research on FF.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 1 4
