    With the improvement of living conditions, people’s eating habits gradually trend to “healthy” development. However, it is difficult to strike a balance between “healthy” and “delicious”. Seasoning is a crucial step during cooking. Saltiness is one of the five basic tastes, and it is produced mainly by adding salt in daily life. Salt plays an important role in human life, but excessive sodium intake can lead to many cardiovascular diseases. Today many health authorities around the world advocate a low-sodium diet. In this context, reducing the amount of salt in foods without affecting their flavor or quality has become a popular research topic. This paper reviews the mechanism of salty taste perception and the current status of salt reduction in foods, with special focuse on salty peptides. The sources, preparation and identification methods, synergistic effect and application prospects of salty peptides are outlined in this paper, so as to provide a basis for the development and application of salty peptides, which will help in advancing the salt reduction campaign.

    Food colloids generally refer to proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and multi-scale micro-nano structures formed by their self-assembly in foods. As the framework structure, food colloids carry out the texture, flavor, taste, stability, nutrition and health characteristics of food products, and are regarded as an indispensable part for maintaining food quality. This review is intended to summarize recent progress in research on food colloids from the perspectives of food colloid-component interactions, food colloids-based future food structure design, interaction of food colloids with intestinal cells, and metabolism and safety of food colloids. It is hoped that this review can provide an impetus for promoting the rapid development of this field into a frontier research direction.

    Rice bran, a common byproduct during of the rice milling process, is rich in unsaturated fats, proteins, crude fiber, vitamins, and various bioactive components. However, the stability of fresh rice bran is poor, and it is highly susceptible to rancidity and deterioration, largely limiting the comprehensive and efficient utilization of rice bran. In recent years, researchers have conducted extensive studies on non-thermal stabilization techniques for rice bran and have achieved significant results. Based on this, this paper provides an overview of the nutritional composition and rancidity mechanism of rice bran and various non-thermal techniques for its stabilizationologies, aiming to provide references for the vigorous development of rice bran resources and the improvement of rice bran utilization efficiency.

    Osteoporosis afflicts 200 million patients worldwide. With the aging of the global population, the incidence of osteoporosis will continue to increase, and the prevention of osteoporosis has become an urgent problem in the field of public health. This paper analyzes the mechanisms by which milk and dairy products as well as their components such as minerals, vitamins, protein, fat and lactose modulate the intestinal flora and in turn affect calcium absorption and bone health. The interventional effects of dairy products fortified with vitamin D, prebiotics and/or probiotics in different populations and their effect in reducing the risk of osteoporosis are reviewed. The interventional effects of dairy products and plant-based milk are compared. This review hopes to provide a scientific reference for precision intervention with dairy products to improve bone health.

    Food flavor is an important factor which affects consumer purchase intention, and the formation of flavor perception is affected by multiple senses such as olfactory and gustatory sense. The application of the interaction between odor and taste in food flavor improvement has become one of the most concerned new directions of food flavor regulation. On this basis, this paper analyzes the main formation pathway and mechanism of the cross-modal perceptual interaction between odor and taste from the neurobiological perspective, and summarizes the main methods used to research the cross-modal perceptual interaction from the aspects of static sensory analysis and dynamic sensory analysis. Finally, the effects of odor substances on taste perception (sweet, salty, bitter, umami and sour) and the effects of taste substances on olfactory perception are reviewed based on relevant literature and cases, in order to provide new ideas for the regulation of flavor quality during food processing.

    FOOD SCIENCE    2021, 42 (21): 1-7.   DOI: 10.7506/spkx1002-6630-20210806-088

    Surimi and surimi products are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and protein, and hence, highly prone to lipid oxidation and protein oxidation during storage and transportation, which reduces their flavor, quality and gel properties. Antioxidants can effectively inhibit the oxidation of lipids and proteins in surimi and surimi products. Natural antioxidants are safer and more effective than synthetic ones. Therefore, the addition of natural antioxidants to surimi and surimi products is considered a safer and acceptable means of anti-oxidation, since it can effectively inhibit protein degradation, lipid oxidation, fishy odor and microbial spoilage thereby effectively improving their quality, flavor and gel properties. This paper reviews the types, sources and action mechanism of natural antioxidants and their effects on surimi and surimi products, which will hopefully provide a reference for the application of natural antioxidants in surimi products.

    Probiotics offer numerous health benefits for human beings. However, it is difficult to achieve the expected beneficial effects of oral probiotics due to the viability loss during processing, storage and digestion. Oral delivery systems are effective ways to improve the processing and storage stability, gastric acid and bile salt tolerance, and intestinal adhesion and colonization ability of probiotics. This review focuses on the state of the art of oral delivery of probiotics, and summarizes the types of probiotics commonly used in probiotic products and their functional characteristics. Specifically, this review analyzes the effects of external environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, pH and oxygen, and internal environments such as the mouth, stomach, and small intestine on the survival rate of probiotics. Furthermore, the characteristics and applications of different oral delivery systems including microcapsule, hydrogel, oleogel, nanocoating, emulsion, and nanofiber are compared. Finally, this review proposes future prospects for cost reduction, intelligent packaging, co-packaging and population experiments of probiotic delivery systems, with the aim of providing technical support for the development of probiotic formulations with high storage stability and high viability suitable for intestinal targeted delivery.

    Heat treatment can induce muscle protein denaturation and aggregation and eventually the sol-gel tradition of proteins. The aggregation rate, degree, morphology and pattern can affect the quality of protein gels. Traditional Chinese soy sauce and pot-roast meat products are processed at temperatures above 100 ℃, and secondary heating treatment is commonly used to extend the shelf life of canned foods, both of which can lead to excessive protein aggregation, in turn reducing the fluidity of water as well as protein digestibility, destroying the quality of meat products and reducing the nutritional value. In this paper, the mechanisms of protein aggregation are analyzed by using the Lumry-Eyring nucleated polymerization (LENP) model. Three protein aggregation modes are described including fibril aggregation, hydrogel aggregation and amorphous aggregation. Four strategies for inhibiting excessive thermal aggregation are reviewed from the perspective of the spatial conformation of proteins. pH, amino acids and polyphenol compounds along with hydrophobic and reducing small molecules can effectively inhibit excessive aggregation of myofibrillar proteins and improve the gel properties of heat-induced proteins. As a molecular chaperone, casein can obviously enhance the thermal stability and reduce the degree of aggregation of proteins. Therefore, these strategies for inhibiting excessive aggregation can enhance the gel and texture quality of meat products.
