Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to its dynamic nature, as well as the demand from consumers for fresh-like foods with better sensory and nutritional properties and with extended shelf life, the food industry has shown a significant amount of interest to novel processing technologies such as high hydrostatic pressure processing (HHP). Thanks to its effectiveness regarding microbial and enzyme inactivation and the preservation of the functionality of proteins and other bioactive compounds, HHP is one of the most popular technologies. Unlike other novel processing technologies, HHP can be applied to liquid as well as solid foods with a delicate nature, with and without packaging. Even though studies focusing on the HHP of different foods are reported in the current studies, comprehensive investigations focusing on the current status and future perspectives are still needed to determine its potential in food industry. This Special Issue, therefore, focuses on current research and future prospects of HHP in the food industry.

We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.

Okara is a by-product from the production of soy beverages, which has a high content of protein and fiber. Even though it has a high nutritional value, it is generally discarded or used as animal feed or compost. The problem is its short shelf life due to its high water content and high water activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of high-pressure pasteurization at 200 MPa, 400 MPa, and 600 MPa on the shelf life of soy okara. Microbiological growth, as well as thermal properties, viscosity, water holding capacity, and oil holding capacity, was evaluated after the pressure treatments. Treatment at 600 MPa significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the growth of total aerobic count, yeast and mold, and lactic acid bacteria for up to four weeks of storage at 4 °C. The pasting properties were increased while the water and oil holding capacities of the soy okara did not significantly change (p > 0.05) after high-pressure pasteurization at 400 MPa and 600 MPa. High-pressure pasteurization is therefore a potential application technique for soy okara to produce a microbiologically safe product with maintained functional properties. However, more research is needed to optimize the process and to further investigate the microbiological species present in untreated soy okara to exclude any potential food safety risks. Full article

Hardaliye, as one of the oldest and lesser known traditional beverages, is produced using red grape pomace from wine production. This drink production is achieved through lactic acid fermentation, with the addition of sour cherry leaves and mustard seeds—either heat-treated, grinded, or whole—in various concentrations. Hardaliye has a very short shelf life; thus, efforts have recently been made to process hardaliye with novel processing technologies in order to achieve shelf-life extension. Therefore, the high-hydrostatic-pressure (HHP) processing of hardaliye was performed to determine its impact on important properties, including in microbial inactivation and shelf-life extension, with respect to a Box–Behnken experimental design. Maximum log reductions of 5.38 ± 0.6, 5.10 ± 0.0, 5.05 ± 0.2, and 4.21 ± 0.0 with HHP were obtained for Brettanomyces bruxellensis, total mesophilic aerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus brevis, and total mold and yeast, respectively. The processing parameters of 490 MPa and 29 °C for 15 min were found as the optimal conditions, with the response variables of an optical density at 520 nm and the inactivation of L. brevis. The samples processed at the optimal conditions were stored at both 4 and 22 °C for 228 d. While the non-treated control samples at 4 and 22 °C were spoiled at 15 and 3 d, the HHP-treated samples were spoiled after 228 and 108 d at 4 and 22 °C, respectively. Full article

This study investigated the effect of high pressure processing (HPP) on the fatty acids and amino acids content in New Zealand Diamond Shell (Spisula aequilatera), Storm Shell (Mactra murchisoni), and Tua Tua (Paphies donacina) clams. The clam samples were subjected to HPP with varying levels of pressure (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 MPa) and holding times (5 and 600 s) at 20 °C. Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) and Orthogonal Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) were deployed to fingerprint the discriminating amino and fatty acids post-HPP processing while considering their inherent biological variation. Aspartic acid (ASP), isoleucine (ILE), leucine (LEU), lysine (LYS), methionine (MET), serine (SER), threonine (THR), and valine (VAL) were identified as discriminating amino acids, while C18:0, C22:1n9, C24:0, and C25:5n3 were identified as discriminating fatty acids. These amino and fatty acids were then subjected to mixed model ANOVA. Mixed model ANOVA was employed to investigate the influence of HPP pressure and holding times on amino acids and fatty acids in New Zealand clams. A significant effect of pressure levels was reported for all three clam species for both amino and fatty acids composition. Additionally, holding time was a significant factor that mainly influenced amino acid content. butnot fatty acids, suggesting that hydrostatic pressure hardly causes hydrolysis of triglycerides. This study demonstrates the applicability of OPLS-DA in identifying the key discriminating chemical components prior to traditional ANOVA analysis. Results from this research indicate that lower pressure and shorter holding time (100 MPa and 5 s) resulted in the least changes in amino and fatty acids content of clams. Full article
