Abstract Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce (POD) is a natural plant widely used for food and medicine, thanks to its rich content of a strong antioxidant agent called homoisoflavones. However, food processing methods could affect the stability of POD flavones, resulting in changes to their antioxidant activity. This study attempts to evaluate the antioxidant activity of POD flavones subject to different processing methods and determines which method could preserve the antioxidant activity of POD flavones. Therefore, flavones were extracted from POD samples, which had been treated separately with one of the four processing methods: extrusion, baking, high-pressure treatment, and yeast fermentation. After that, the antioxidant activity of the flavones was subject to in vivo tests in zebrafish embryos. The results show that yeast fermentation had the least disruption to the antioxidant activity of POD flavones, making it the most suitable food processing method for POD. By contrast, extrusion and high-pressure treatment both slightly weakened the antioxidant activity of the flavones and should be avoided in food processing. The research results provide a reference for the development and utilization of POD and the protection of its biological activity.

High Pressure (HP) Processing has turned out to be very effective in prolonging the shelf life of some food. This paper deals with the modelling and simulation of the effect of the combination of high pressure and thermal treatments on food processing, focusing on the inactivation of certain enzymes. The behavior and stability of the proposed models are checked by various numerical examples. Furthermore, various simplified versions of these models are presented and compared with each other in terms of accuracy and computational time. The models developed in this paper provide a useful tool to design suitable industrial equipments and optimize the processes.

Underwater shockwave is easily generated by means of explosion of explosive and by means of high voltage electric discharges in water. It has characteristics of high pressure, very short duration of action, and permeation [1]. Therefore, underwater shockwave can destroy only materials inside without destroying their outside. We tried using application of underwater shockwave to some foods as food processing device. At this experiment, foods were applied underwater shockwave by using detonating fuse and electric detonator in water tank. Foods sample was apples, Japanese radishes, and burdocks. In the result, foods were made soft. From result of apples, we easily got juice by squeezing by woman’s power without grating up apples. And there was difference of content of polyphenols in juice between application underwater shockwave to apples and non-application. Extraction of Japanese radish was improved. From these experimental results, we suggest necessity spec of shockwave processing vessel for food processing.

Abstract A review is presented of studies of different processing techniques and their effect on the allergenicity and antigenicity of certain allergenic foods. An overview of investigated technologies is givenwithregardtotheirimpactontheprotein structure and their potential application in the production of hypoallergenic foods. The use of physical processes (such as heating, high pressure, microparticulation, ultrafiltration, and irradiation), chemical processes (such as proteolysis, fermentation, and refining by extraction), and biotechnological approaches, as well as the effects of these processes on individual allergenic foods, are included. Additionally, the implications of food processing for food allergen analysis with respect to food safety assessment and industrial quality control are briefly discussed.
