The main directions of research aimed at nutritional improvement have to face either excesses or deficiencies in the diet. To this end, different strategies may be adopted, such as the reformulation of products, the introduction of functional ingredients, and the application of biotechnology to increase the bioavailability of bioactive compounds. These interventions, however, can alter the physico-chemical and sensory properties of the final products, making it necessary to achieve a balance between nutritional and quality modification. This Special Issue offers readers information on innovative ways to improve the cereal-based foods and beverages, useful for researchers and for industry operators.

To conduct this study, a market survey was conducted in the form of a questionnaire to see what assortment of cheese and what ingredients bioactive compounds people want to consume. In order to find out what assortment of cheese and what ingredients with bioactive compounds people want to consume, a market survey was made in the form of a questionnaire. Taking into account the results of the survey,to process a melted cheese mix with the addition of dried tomatoes and basil. A technological scheme was developed for this cheese and sodium bicarbonate was used instead of melting and emulsifying salts to try to obtain a healthier product. The obtained product was analyzed for a period of 30 days from a sensory and physico-chemical. Physico-chemical and sensory properties of the obtained product were analyzed for a period of 30 days.

This study aimed to characterize the honeys of Babors Kabylia through sensory, melissopalynological and physico-chemical parameters. Thirty samples of honey produced in this region were collected over a period of two years and analyzed. All the samples presented physico-chemical parameters in conformity with legislation on honey quality, with few exceptions, linked mainly to beekeeping management. The pollen spectrum revealed a great diversity with 96 pollen types. The main pollen types were spontaneous species as Fabaceae (Hedysarum, Trifolium, Genisteae plants), Asteraceae plants, Ericaceae (Erica arborea L.) or Myrtus and Pistacia. The sensory properties of samples showed a high tendency to crystallization, the colors were from white to brown, but most of them had gold color. Smell and odor corresponded mainly to vegetal and fruity families and in taste perceptions besides sweetness highlighted sourness and saltiness notes. Seventeen samples were polyfloral, one was from honeydew and twelve were monofloral from heather, genista plants, sulla, blackberry or Asteraceae. Heather and the honeydew samples showed the darkest color, the highest electrical conductivity and phenol and flavonoid content. A statistical analysis based on the most representative pollen types, sensory properties and some physico-chemical components allowed the differentiation of honey samples in terms of botanical origin.

Abstract The study was undertaken to assess the quality and sensory properties of gluten free biscuits (GFB) offered in local market in Sibiu. The chemical, physico-chemical parameters and sensory qualities of biscuits were studied. The result revealed that moisture of GFB is normal (<5-6%), the water activity is under 0.3 for 6 of the samples, the breaking point is 0.878 (B7) and 1.564 (B1) as a result of different ingredient used (mix flour-corn, soya, rice for sample B1, rice-chickpeas flour for sample B7). Sensory qualities were determinate by using the hedonic test and showed that the GFB were well accepted by the consumers.
