Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, novel processing technologies have been developed due to the increasing consumer demand for healthy, delicious and nutritional foods. Many novel technologies, such as high hydrostatic pressure and pulsed electric fields, have attracted the attention of food manufacturers, due to their minor effects on food quality, compared with conventional thermal processing. In-depth research on these new technologies and their applications in novel foods is of significance to the developments in food science innovations and emerging technologies.

The present Special Issue aims to provide original research or reviews in the field of a) the development of emerging technologies used in foods; b) the relationship between processing and the macro- and micro-scale structure properties of novel foods; c) the characterization of flavour quality and functional properties of novel foods; d) the evaluation of sensory quality/consumer preferences of novel foods.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Foods is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Dried green pepper and first-grade extracted soybean oil were selected as raw materials to study the effect of the Maillard reaction and cold-pressed compound on the quality of Zanthoxylum seasoning oil and its aroma-enhancing effect. The results showed that the optimal technology was as follows: the ratio of material to liquid was 1:5, the heating temperature was 110 °C, the reaction time was 25 or 30 min, and the addition of reducing sugar was 2%. The optimum ratio of fragrant Zanthoxylum seasoning oil was 1:7 for cold pressing oil and hot dipping oil. Compared with Zanthoxylum seasoning oil, it is based on the Maillard reaction and had a more intense and persistent aroma. The taste of fragrant Zanthoxylum seasoning oil was the best of the three blended oils. The possible types of volatile flavor compounds in the three kinds of Zanthoxylum seasoning oils detected by Heracles II ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose were, respectively, 16, 19, and 15. Among the three kinds of Zanthoxylum seasoning oils, the content of limonene, linalool, Eucalyptol, n-pentane α-Pinene, myrcene, and phellandrene was more abundant, which indicated that olefins and alcohols contributed more to the overall flavor of the three kinds of Zanthoxylum seasoning oils.

In this study, different drying methods, including hot air drying, sun drying, and freeze drying were employed to dry fresh broad beans. The nutritional composition, volatile organic components and bioactive substances of the dried broad beans were systematically compared. The results indicated significant differences (p < 0.05) in nutritional composition, such as protein and soluble sugar content. Among the 66 identified volatile organic compounds, freeze drying and hot air drying significantly promote the production of alcohols and aldehydes, while sun drying effectively preserves esters. In terms of bioactive substances, broad beans dried by freeze drying exhibit the highest total phenol content as well as the strongest antioxidant capacity and gallic acid, followed by sun drying. The chemometric analysis revealed that the bioactive compounds in broad beans dried by three different methods were primarily composed of flavonoids, organic acids, and amino acids with significant differentiation. Notably, freeze-dried and sun-dried broad beans exhibited a higher concentration of differential substances. Full article
