21 Study on minor components in some Indian commercial vegetable oils 1 P. K. Prasanth Kumar, 1 V. Manasa, 2 B. Matthaus, 3 P. Vijayaraj, 1 A. G.* Gopala Krishna, 3 Ram Rajasekharan 1 Chief Scientist, Department of Traditional Food Science, CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute, Mysore , India 2 MRI Max Rubner-Institut, Bundesforschungsinstitut für Ernährung und Lebensmittel, Detmold, Germany 3 Department of Lipid Science, CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute, Mysore , India * gopkag11@gmail.com ABSTRACT Composition of some commercial vegetable oils were studied with a view to evaluate their partial glycerides, and minor constituents make up. The glycerides composition showed TAG, DAG and MAG contents of %, %, and % respectively. The partial glycerides (DAG+MAG) ranged from 2.7 to 12.9% and refined rice bran oil (RRBO) and refined coconut oil (RCNO) showed a high value of 11.6 and 12.9% respectively. Phytonutrients such as tocopherols ( mg/kg), phytosterols ( mg/kg), phenolics (7-73mg/kg), squalene (1-197 mg/kg), and coenzyme Q10 ( μg/kg) were found to various extent in these oils. RSA was mg oil/ml of DPPH solution for different oils. Oryzanol (12800 mg/kg in RRBO and lignans (12000 mg/kg in sesame oil) were found only in these oils. The trans fatty acid content were minimal in most of the vegetable oils and are present in partial glycerides fraction. The glycidyl esters (GE) ( mg/kg) and monochloropropanediol esters (3-MCPDE) ( mg/kg) were found in higher amounts in oils having higher amount of partial glycerides indicating some relationship with their formation during processing. This also indicates that partial glycerides upon dehydration or reaction with chlorinated pesticides during high temperature processing of deodorisation might generate the harmful GE and 3-MCPDE compounds respectively in refined vegetable oils.

Most of the vegetable oils differ in their fatty acid composition. Coconut oil (91%), palm kernel oil (82%) and palm oils (50%) are rich in saturated fatty acids content. While, mustard oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, olive oil, rice bran oil and palm oil contain monounsaturated fatty acids in high amounts (Bhatnagar et al., 2009; Gunstone et al., 2012). Oils from flaxseed, sunflower seed, soybean, sesame seed, peanut and rice bran contain more than 30% of polyunsaturated fatty acids (Gunstone et al., 2012). These fatty acids altogether constitute the total glycerides (triacylglycerols-tag, diacylglycerols-dag and monoacylglycerols-mag) composition in all vegetable oils. The TAG is the major portion of the oils and the partial glycerides (DAG and MAG) vary from 0-10% with the source of oil (Katsuragi et al., 2004). The partial glycerides were thought to be not desirable in oils due to their property of emulsion formation. But recently these are shown to have beneficial effect on health such as providing low calorie, non-accumulation as adipose fat, prevention of lipidemia and others. Naturally 1,3 DAG is prominent in vegetable oils as compared to 1,2/2,3 DAG (Kristensen et al., 2005). Nagao et al.,(2000), Maki et al., (2002) and Meng et al., (2009), have reported the beneficial effect of 1,3 DAG oil on suppressing the accumulation of body fat and thereby preventing the increase of body weight. Besides the varying amounts of partial glycerides, oils also contain highly valuable phytonutrients such as vitamin E, phytosterols, carotenoids, phenolics, squalene, coenzyme Q10, oryzanols (unique to rice bran oil), lignans (unique to sesame oil) etc. which contribute to stability and radical scavenging activity of the oils (Bhatnagar et al., 2009; Prasanth Kumar et al., 2014).Naturally available oils and fats contain fatty acids with cis configuration, while, the hydrogenated vegetable oils like vanaspati and some refined oils and fats contain TFA, which have detrimental effects on health, by promoting the cardiovascular diseases through increase in the LDL and decrease of the HDL levels, which inturn elevate cholesterol level in blood (Reshma 2012). The hydrogenation process to make the liquid oil into solid fat increases the TFA level in the range of 12-39% (Zhu 2012). The other type of artifacts in the oils are mainly trans fatty acids (TFA), glycidyl esters (GE) and 3-monochloropropanediol esters (3- MCPDE).These are detrimental compounds formed during the oil processing (Weisshaar 2008). The refining of partial glycerides rich oils by high temperature dependent processes such as deodorization, molecular distillation lead to the formation of glycidyl esters which are known to be genotoxic carcinogens (Bakhiya et al., 2011; Weissharr et al., 2010). Weissharr and Perz (2010) have reported the level of glycidyl esters in refined palm oil and palm oil based fats ranging from 0.3 mg/kg to 6.3 mg/kg (Weissharr et al., 2010). Bakhiya et al., (2011) have recently reviewed the toxicological aspect of glycidyl ester and considered glycidol as a genotoxic carcinogen, which induces tumours in numerous organs of rodents (Bakhiya et al., 2011). DAG is naturally present in edible oils to varying extents. The DAG and minor phytonutrients present in oils provide some health benefits to consumers. The vegetable oils used for consumption in India vary from region to region and are being consumed as both in unrefined and refined forms. The popularity of consumption of unrefined oils in India is due to the regionally preferred flavor and cost of the oils (Prasanth Kumar et al., 2009). The consumption of unrefined oils helps to get maximum amount of phytonutrients for the health and well being. But in the case of refined oils the available 21 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

22 phytonutrients in the native oils are reduced during the refining of oils and the process conditions used for the purification of oils may create detrimental compounds like GE and 3-MCPDE in the oils. The Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) of the EU- Commission and the Joint Committee of the FAO/WHO (JECFA) have established a tolerable daily intake (2 μg/kg body weight/ day) of free 3-MCPDE (IARC). The level of minor phytonutrient components, GE and 3-MCPDE may vary in oils and its retention/ generation probably depends on the processing conditions. Hence, a study on quality of Indian commercial vegetable oils was carried out with a focus on evaluating status in terms of glycerides and the minor components present either naturally or are formed during processing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three different product batches of commercially available oils viz. Fortune brand mustard oil (MO), Idhayam brand sesame oil (SESO), KLF-Nirmal brand coconut oil (CNO), Safal brand peanut oil (PNO), Nutrela brand refined soybean oil (RSBO), Musa brand refined olive oil (ROO), Safal brand refined rice bran oil (RRBO), Sunpure brand refined sunflower oil (RSFO), Cocosilver brand refined coconut oil (RCNO) and Palm Jyothi brand refined palm oil (RPO) were purchased from the local market of Mysore city, Karnataka state. Standard gallic acid, α-tocopherol, cholesterol, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, fucosterol, squalene, Coenzyme Q10 and diphenyl picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich, Mumbai (India). Fatty acid methyl ester mix (RM-5) was purchased from Supelco Inc. HPLC grade hexane, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, acetonitrile and methanol were obtained from Sisco Research Laboratory, Mumbai, India. All chemicals and solvents used were of analytical reagent grade. Physicochemical Characteristics The color of oils was determined by transmission measurement using a Lovibond tintometer in a 1" cell and expressed as 5R+Y, where R= red components and Y= yellow components obtained through color slide matches and expressed as 5R+y values (Lovibond units). Free fatty acid value (FFA), peroxide value (PV), iodine value (IV), saponification value (SV), and unsaponifiable matter (USM) and glyceride composition were determined by using AOCS Official methods 26 ). HPLC Analysis of Triacylglycerols HPLC Instrument (Model LC-10A, Shimadzu corporation, Kyoto, Japan) with a temperature control oven was fitted with a 15 cm x 4.6 mm id or 25 cm x 4.6 mm id C18 column and operated at a flow rate of 1 ml/min, using refractive index detector, mobile phase of acetoneacetonitrile (65:35) mixture for a period of min at 30 C. Identification of TAG fractions was carried out using standard mixture of TAGs and also using theoretical carbon number (AOCS 2003). HPLC Analysis of Diacylglycerols (DAG) DAG profile of entire sample were analysed according to Lo et al., (2004). The RP-HPLC Instrument (model LC-10A, Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan with a temperature control oven) was fitted with a 15 cmx4.6 mm id or 25 cm x4.6 mm id C18 column using ultraviolet (UV) detector set at 205 nm. The mobile phase comprised acetonitrile (100%, v/v) with a flow rate of 1.1 ml/min and the temperature of oven was set at 40 C (Lo et al., 2004). Identification of DAGs was carried out using theoretical carbon number. Fatty Acid Composition Determination by GC Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) of the oil samples were prepared by trans esterification, according to AOCS Method No: Ce 1 62 (AOCS 2003). FAMEs were analysed on a Shimadzu 20A gas chromatograph (Shimadzu Corporation, Japan), equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) and a glass capillary column (100 m X 0.25 mm i.d.), coated with 0.20 μm SP2560 (Supelco Inc., Bellefonte, PA) as the stationary phase. The oven temperature was programmd from 140 to 240 C at 4 C/min with an initial hold at 140 C for 5 min. The injector and FID were maintained at 260 C. A reference standard FAME mix (Supelco Inc.) was analyzed under the same operating conditions to determine the individual fatty acid peak identity and expressed as relative area percentage. ESTIMATION OF PHYTONUTRIENTS IN VEGETABLE OILS Total Phytosterols content determination Total sterols content of the oil was determined by the Liebermann Burchard method according to Sabir et al., (2003). The proper dilution of oil samples was made with chloroform and added Liebermann Burchard reagent and kept for 30 min in dark for the color development. The color was read at 640 nm. A standard curve was generated using cholesterol instead of the sample and the results were expressed as total phytosterols as cholesterol equivalent. Phytosterols composition determination by HPLC HPLC equipped with an LC-10A pump (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan), a 20 μl injection loop and a photo diode-array detector was used for the estimation of individual phytosterols in the samples. The temperature was controlled at 30±0.1 C with a column heater. Separation was performed on a Kromasil 100 C8-5 μm column (250 x 4.6 mm i.d.; Supelco Inc, Bellefonte, PA, USA), with 30:70 (v/v) methanol: acetonitrile as mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.2 ml/min. The detection wavelength was 205 nm (Sanchez- Machado et al., 2004). Tocopherols composition determination by HPLC The tocopherols composition of oil samples were determined by using Ce 8-89 (AOCS 1995) by high performance liquid chromatography (model Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan) fitted with silica column (CLC-SIL (M) 250mm x 4.6mm i.d.; Shimadzu) and fluorescence detector. The mobile phase was hexane-isopropanol (99.5:0.5, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and excitation and emission wavelengths of 290 and 330nm respectively. The individual tocopherol content was expressed as α tocopherol equivalent (AOCS 2003). Total Phenolics determination by Spectrophotometric method The extraction of phenolics from the samples and its content determination was carried out according to Seneviratne and Dissanayake (2008). About 5 g of the oil sample was mixed with 1 ml of 80% methanol and vortexed for 2 minutes (twice). The samples were centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature. The methanol: water layer was collected in another tube and this step was repeated four times and the extracts pooled and made up to 4ml with 80 % methanol. Different aliquots were mixed with 0.2 ml of Folin.Ciocalteu reagent and were kept for 3 minutes. About 1 ml of 15 % Na 2 CO 3 solution was added and made up to 7 ml with distilled water. The tubes were incubated for 45 minutes and centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature. The absorbance was read at 765 nm using an UV- Visible spectrophotometer (Shimadzu corporation, Kyoto, Japan, model UV. 1601). The TPC (mg/100 g) was calculated using gallic acid as the standard (Seneviratne et al., 2002). Squalene content determination by HPLC Squalene content in oils was determined by HPLC according to Nenadis and Tsimidou (2002). Samples (0.02 g) were dissolved in 1 ml of hexane, and 20 μl of the mixture were injected into an HPLC (10A VP, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) equipped with a UVdetector (SPD-10AV VP, Shimadzu) set at 208 nm. The analysis was carried out at 25 C with isocratic separation on a C-18 column, 10 μm, u-bondapak, (3.9x300 mm; Millipore, Milford, MA) with the mobile phase consisting of acetone: acetonitrile (40/60, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. Identification was confirmed through spiking with squalene and quantified using a standard curve of squalene. Coenzyme Q 10 determination by HPLC The determination of the content of the coenzyme Q10 was carried out by HPLC (Shimadzu) 10A VP (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) equipped with a UV-detector (SPD-10AV VP, Shimadzu) coupled to a 20 μl loop injector. The isocratic separation of samples was achieved on a C-18 column, 10μm, μbondapak, (3.9x300 mm; Millipore, Milford, MA) using methanol/n-hexane/2-propanol (80:15:5, v/v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 ml.min -1. The UV detector wavelength was set at 275nm (Pirjo et al., 2001). Samples were quantified using a standard curve. 22 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

23 Oryzanol content determination by Spectrophotometric method Oryzanol content was determined by spectrophotometric method using UV.vis spectrophotometer (model-uv-1601, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) by measuring the optical density at 314 nm of the oil taken in hexane followed by calculation using the extinction coefficient of and expressed as g/100g (Gopala Krishna et al., 2006). Lignans content determination by Spectrophotometric method The lignans present in the oil samples were determined by spectrophotometric method by dissolving 0.01g of oil sample in 10 ml of HPLC grade choloroform and hexane (7:3 v/v) and measuring the absorbance at 288 nm followed by calculation using E 1% value of 230 (Bhatnagar et al., 2013). 1cm Radical scavenging activity Radical Scavenging activity (RSA) RSA towards DPPH radicals was determined according to Shimada et al., (1992). A toluenic solution of DPPH radicals was freshly prepared at a concentration of 10-4 M. The oil samples (10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 100 mg) were taken in test tubes and a 4-ml aliquot of DPPH toluenic solution was added and vortexed and incubated under dark for 30 minutes. Against a blank of pure toluene without DPPH radicals, the decrease in the absorption at 517 nm was measured in a 1 cm cell after 30 min of incubation, using a UV-visible spectrophotometer (model UV 1601, Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan). RSA towards DPPH radicals was estimated from the differences in absorbance of toluenic DPPH solutions with or without sample (control) and the inhibition percent was calculated using the following equation: % Inhibition = [{absorbance of controlabsorbance of test sample}/absorbance of control] 100. Estimation of Glycidyl Esters and MCPDE in Vegetable Oils The determination of 3-MCPD esters and related compounds was realized by using the DGF method C-III 18 (09) part A while the content of 3-MCPD esters alone was measured according to the DGF method C-III 18 (09) part B (DGF 2009). The content of glycidyl esters was calculated from the difference between both results taking account of a factor of In the results the content of glycidyl esters was presented as related compounds since it was not clear yet whether other similar compounds are determined by the DGF method C-III 18 (09) part A as well. Statistical Analysis All data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation of quadruplicate analysis.tukeys-kramer Multiple Comparison Test was used to calculate significant differences using the statistical package, GraphPad Instat Demo [DATA-SET.ISD]. Statistical significance was declared at p<0.05. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Physicochemical characteristics of different vegetable oils The physicochemical characteristics of some Indian commercial vegetable oils used for study has been shown in Table 1. The results show that all the parameters were within the permitted level of specification (Table 1). Triacylglycerols and Partial Acylglycerols content of the Vegetable Oils The TAG is the major portion of the glycerides in oils and it accounts for more than 90% (Table 1). The DAG and MAG were mostly found in oils as the intermediate of TAG synthesis and in some oils viz., RRBO, RPO due to the hydrolysis of TAG by the lipase present in raw materials. The results showed that most of the oils contain TAG of more than 90% except rice bran oil (RRBO) (88.6%), refined coconut oil (RCNO) (87.1%) and palm oil (RPO) (89.9%) (Table 1). The DAG content of the samples was inversely proportional to TAG content. Hence, the rice bran oil (RRBO) (10.6%), refined coconut oil (RCNO) (10.4%) and palm oil (RPO) (9.5%) have shown higher DAG compared to other oils ( %). The higher levels in these oils may provide the antiobesity effect to consumers. The DAG content varied from 2.2% for coconut oil (CNO) to 10.4% for rice bran oil (RRBO) and refined coconut oil (RCNO). The MAG was found very minimal as compared to DAG and minimum of 0.8% and maximum of 2.5% was found in palm oil (RPO) and refined coconut oil (RCNO) respectively. Total partial glycerides analysis of oils indicated that rice bran oil (RRBO) (10.4%), and RCNO (10.4%) showed more than 10%. Higher partial glyceride content of rice bran oil (RRBO), refined coconut oil (RCNO) and palm oil (RPO) was probably due to activity of lipase present in bran, kernel and fruits respectively. The fatty acid composition of different vegetable oils data indicates that only CNO and RCNO contained medium chain fatty acids (MCFA, C8:0-C12:0). Lauric acid (C12:0) was found to the maximum extent of 48.0% and 47.1% among MCFA for CNO and RCNO respectively. Palmitic acid was one of the major saturated fatty acids found in different oils and its range varied from 2.2% in MO to 40.9% for RRPO. The stearic acid level shows 1.0% (for MO) to 4.0% (for RSBO and RPO). Oleic acid contributes to the monounsaturated fatty acid content in most of the oils except MO wherein erucic acid also contributes to the monounsaturated fatty acids. The oleic acid was highest in ROO (77.4%) followed by RRBO (44.0%), SESO (43.0%) and RPO (41.6%). CNO (5.7%) and RCNO (6.8%) were the lowest oleic acid containing oils and in other oils it ranged from 10.6%-28.7%. linoleic acid and linolenic acid contributed to polyunsaturated fatty acids in the oils. The level of linoleic acid varied from 1.4% (for CNO) to 59.3% (for RSFO). The linoleic acid in other oils was 53.1%, 39.9%, 32.6%, 30.1%, 15.4%, 11.0% and 6.5% for RSFO, SESO, PNO, RRBO, MO, RPO and ROO respectively. The linolenic acid was found to a maximum of 11.3% for MO and the content in other oils were below 1% except for RSBO (6.9%). The gadoleic (C20:1), erucic (C22:1) and lignoceric acids (C24:0) were found to a maximum extent in MO (5.3%, 49.2% and 1.4% respectively). The behenic acid was found at 3.9% in PNO. The unsaturated fatty acid rich oils (RSBO, RRSFO, RRBO, ROO, MO, and RPO) may possess lower stability compared to saturated fatty acid rich oils viz., CNO, RCNO. DAG Composition of Vegetable Oils The palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acid based DAGs were identified and quantitated from different edible oils and the data are presented in Table 2.

24 (OO), oleopalmitin (OP),dipalmitin (PP), oleostearin (OS), stearopalmitin (SP) and distearin (SS) were identified in the oils which constituted major portion of DAG in all vegetable oils except MO, CNO and RCNO. In MO these DAGs altogether constituted 35% of the total DAG and the remaining 65% of DAG was erucic acid based DAGs. Similarly the CNO and RCNO composed of 29.2% and 11.5% of these DAGs. The remaining DAGs in these oils were constituted by medium chain fatty acids (C8-C12) based DAGs. RSBO (25.1%), SESO (23.8%) and PNO (21.4%) have shown higher amount of LL as compared to the level of LL in other vegetable oils ( %). The highest OO was found in ROO, most probably due to the high oleic acid in the oil. The OO level of RPO was 28.7%, followed by SESO (14.5%) and RRBO (14.5%). These results show that the DAG profile of oils mostly depends on the fatty acid composition and accordingly vary in fatty acid proportions in DAGs. DAG has been a component of all oils and fats. Edible oil containing high concentration of DAG can be used as a source of DAG oil. However, lipase activity in raw materials may produce DAG with 1, 3 and 1, 2/2, 3 specificity. There is no report on the DAG profile of different commercial vegetable oils. TAG Composition of Vegetable Oils The results show that oleodilinolein (LLO/LOL), palmitodilinolein (LLP/LPL), linoleodiolein (OOL/OLO), linoleodipalmitin (PLP/PPL), palmitooleolinolein (POL/PLO), triolein (OOO), palmitodiolein (POO/OPO), tripalmitin (PPP), stearodiolein (OOS/OSO), palmitooleosterin (POS/PSO), stearodipalmitin (PPS/PSP) and oleodistearin (SOS/SSO) were the common TAG in most of the oils (Table 3). The level of these TAG in each oil varied according to the fatty acid composition of the oils. Some of the medium chain TAG caprylodicaprin (CpCC), laurodicaprylin (CpCpLa), caprylocaprolaurin (CpCLa), laurodicaprin (CCLa), caprodilaurin (CLaLa) and trilaurin (LaLaLa) found in CNO and RCNO which were contributed by the presence of medium chain fatty acids in the oils. Similarly long chain fatty acid containing TAG (linoleodierucin (ELE), trierucin (EEE), oleodierucin (EOE), trigadolin (GGG), erucodigadolin (EGG), lignocerodierucin (ELgE) and erucodilignocerin (ELgLg) was found in MO which all together constituted around 61.3% of total TAG composition. OOO was found in highest concentration in ROO (34.7%). A combination of medium chain fatty acids and long chain fatty acid containing TAG (myristodilaurin (LaLaM), oleodilaurin (LaLaO), laurodimyristin (LaMM), lauropalmitolinolein (LaPL), lauromyristoolein (LaMO), lauromyristopalmitin (LaMP), laurodipalmitin (LaPP) and laurostearoolein (LaSO) were identified in high amounts in CNO (41.4%) and RCNO (42.4%). However, no vegetable oil contains TAG of medium chain fatty acids or combination of medium chain fatty acids and long chain fatty acids except CNO. Hence the blending of CNO/RCNO with any of the vegetable oils studied may provide mixture of TAG with medium chain fatty acids and long chain fatty acids which may enhance the nutritional properties of the oils. This work has been reported earlier from our laboratory (Bhatnagar et al., 2009; Prasanth Kumar et al., 2009). PHYTONUTRIENTS COMPOSITION OF OILS Tocopherols Tocopherols and tocotrienols are the vitamin E homologues found in various vegetable oils which provide oxidative stability to oils and possess hypocholesterolemic property as well (Kamal-Eldin 2006). Tocotrienols are powerful natural antioxidants than tocopherols and available in very few oils which include palm oil, rice bran oil and oils from bran, wheat bran oil, etc (Sakina Khatoon et al., 2007). The vitamin E analogue present in the oils were presented in Table 4. The results show that tocopherols are some what common in all the vegetable oils and tocotrienols were limited to CNO, RBO, RCNO and RPO. The consumption of RRBO and RPO may provide the health benefit of tocotrienols which are more potent antioxidants than tocopherols. Tocopherols are common to all the vegetable oils and its retention depend on the method of processing. The results of the study show that the CNO (35 mg/ kg) and RCNO (1 mg/kg) were low in tocopherols content. The unrefined oils viz MO (737 mg/kg), SESO (1135 mg/kg) and PNO (310 mg/kg) showed good amount of tocopherols. The further processing viz.refining, bleaching and deodourization of these oils may reduce their level in these oils. Hence unrefined oils are advisable to get better benefits of tocopherols from these oils. The refined oils viz. RSBO (1405 mg/kg), RPO (670 mg/kg), RSFO (471 mg/kg), were and RRBO (378 mg/kg) showed good amount of tocopherols even after processing of the oils. The lowest tocopherol level of ROO (99 mg/kg) was most probably due to the loss of tocopherols during the processing of these oils. The tocopherols composition of oils depends on the type and minimum or no processing may retain maximum tocopherols in edible oils and thereby can get more benefits to the consumers. Total Phenolics Phenolics are a class of neutraceutical compounds present in vegetable oils and provide antioxidant effect (radical scavenging activity) to oils. The level of phenolics may vary from oil to oil and the final retention of phenolics depends on the processing conditions employed. Aleksander, Malgorzata and Eleonora (2007) have reported the phenolics content (0.51 to 2.46 mg/100g of oil) of various vegetable oils (Siger et al., 2008). Phenolics have influence on the stability, sensory and nutritional characteristics of the products and possess radical scavenging activities to protect from lipid peroxidation (Naczk et al., 2003). The results show that the unrefined oils such as CNO (73 mg/kg), and SESO (44.3 mg/ kg) were higher in phenolics compared to refined oils ( mg/kg) (Table 4). The lower phenolics of ROO (36.4 mg/kg), RPO (34 mg/kg) and RCNO (29.0 mg/kg) was probablly due to removal/ degradation of phenolics happened during the processing conditions applied to these oils. This indicates that the retention of phenolics in oils may be possible by applying minimal processing under a mild condition. Phytosterols Phytosterols constitute largest portion of the unsaponifiable matter of the oils. Phytosterols are present in vegetable oils in various TABLE 2 : DAG Profile of Commercial Vegetable Oils DAG MO SESO PNO CNO RSBO ROO RRBO RSFO RCNO RPO species LL 16.0±0.71 a 23.8±1.27 b 21.4±0.56 c Nd 25.1±1.06 b 9.7±0.50 d 13.7±0.50 e 18.2±0.35 f 3.0±0.07 g 8.4±0.28 d LO 0.4±0.07 a 10.6±0.21 b 7.0±0.35 c 7.8±0.07 d 0.6±0.04 a 4.5±0.07 e 8.9±0.21 f 9.5±0.21 g 0.8±0.07 a 5.2±0.07 h LP 0.1±0.00 a 1.6±0.07 a 1.8±0.07 a 0.1±0.00 a Nd 1.7±0.04 a 2.2±0.04 a 9.5±0.07 b 1.6±0.21 a 0.2±0.00 a LS 0.1±0.00 a 2.5±0.04 b 9.2±0.14 c 5.8±0.07 d 13.0±0.07 e 1.8±0.04 f 7.0±0.04 g 2.0±0.04 f 1.2±0.04 h 11.5±0.21 i OO 1.4±0.07 a 14.5±0.35 b 18.7±0.42 c 6.7±0.21 d 11.7±0.21 e 39.7±1.20 f 14.5±0.07 b 14.1±0.21 b 1.7±0.07 a 28.7±1.20 g OP 1.6±0.04 a 9.3±0.14 b 12.4±0.42 c 1.0±0.04 d 11.4±0.21 e 7.1±0.21 f 16.3±0.07 g 4.1±0.07 h 1.8±0.04 a 9.7±0.49 b PP 0.2±0.00 a 4.6±0.07 b 7.2±0.07 c 2.1±0.04 d 4.0±0.07 b 23.3±0.28 e 8.9±0.21 f 0.8±.04 ag 1.1±0.04 g 17.0±0.71 h OS 0.7±0.07 a 0.3±0.00 b 0.5±0.04 ab 5.7±0.07 c 7.9±0.11 d 5.9±0.07 c 10.9±0.21 e 7.5±0.21 f 0.3±0.00 b 3.1±0.07 g SP 2.7±0.21 a 3.4±0.07 b 4.5±0.04 c nd 3.6±0.04 b nd 1.3±0.04 d 7.1±0.21 e nd 0.7±0.04 f SS nd 2.9±0.07 a 1.6±0.04 b nd 2.7±0.07 a 2.9±.04 a 1.3±0.07 c nd nd 1.7±0.11 b Others 64.9±1.34 a 26.5±1.77 b 15.8±0.57 c 70.8±1.98 d 20.1±0.78 e 3.3±0.04 f 15.1±0.64 c 27.2±1.56 b 88.5±1.77 g 22.2±0.85 e Values with different superscript within the row indicates p value is <0.05, considered significant change in the parameters.

25 levels which enhance reduction of LDL cholesterol in blood and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases (Woyengo et al., 2009). Hence the level of phytosterols was importants in edible oils. The phytosterol levels in different vegetable oils were analysed and data were presented in Table 4. The results show that RRBO was the richest source of total phytosterols (16128 mg/kg). SESO showed mg/kg of phytosterols which was next to RRBO in the phytosterol level. The phytosterols level in unrefined oils ranged from 780 mg/kg (for CNO) to mg/kg (for SESO) and for refined oils it ranged from 772 mg/kg (for RCNO) to mg/kg (for RRBO). These results show that the phytosterol content depends on the type of oil and also the processing conditions employed for this refining. In the studied vegetable oils RBO contains high amount of phytosterols and RCNO contains less amount of phytosterols of and 77.2 mg/100g respectively. The content of fucosterol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol + campesterol was also evaluated. The result shows that all these sterols were well distributed in RRBO and SESO. The β-sitosterol + campesterol constituted major portion of the phytosterol fraction of all the vegetable oils. The results show that the consumption of RRBO and SESO may provide health benefits like reduction of blood LDL cholesterol and reduction of the risk of cardiovascular diseases to the consumers. Oryzanol content Oryzanol is associated with hypocholesterolemic activity which is present uniquely in RBO, which also acts as an anti-oxidant, antiaging compound, antidandruff agent, inhibits cholestrol oxidation, suppresses tumour growth, effective in the treatment of inflammatory disease, and provide stability to food products (Nagendra Prasad et al., 2011). Oryzanol is also one of the important nutraceutical components present in RBO to the extent of % (Khatoon et al., 2004). Rice bran oil was extracted from 18 different paddy cultivars and studied their oryzanol content and reported a range of %. Table 4 showed 12,800 mg/ kg of oryzanol in RRBO which is within the range of values reported by Khatoon and Gopala Krishna (2004). These oryzanol content along with other nutraceuticals contributed higher unsaponifiable matter (3.7%) in RRBO. Hence, consumption of RRBO provides oryzanol along with its health benefits. Lignans Lignans are a group of compounds found in SESO and comprises sesamin, sesamolin, sesaminol and sesamolinol. Sesame lignans are unique in bioactive, functional, physiological and nutritional properties, which posess vitamin E activity, protection of lowdensity lipoproteins from oxidative damage, serum triacylglycerol lowering effect, hypocholesterolemic effect and influence liver TABLE 3 : TAG Profile of studied Vegetable Oils TAG species TCN MO SESO PNO CNO RSBO ROO RRBO RSFO RCNO RPO CpCC/ CpCpLa 28.0 nd nd nd 0.9a nd nd nd nd 2.4b nd CpCLa 30.0 nd nd nd 3.1a nd nd nd nd 3.2a nd CCLa 32.0 nd nd nd 12.7a nd nd nd nd 11.6a nd CLaLa 34.0 nd nd nd 17.8a nd nd nd nd 16.5a nd LaLaLa/LnLnLn a nd 2.6b 20.7c 5.7d nd 3.2e nd 19.6f nd LaLaM 38.0 nd nd nd 17.6a nd nd nd nd 17.3a nd LaLaO/LLL 39.4/39.6 nd nd nd 2.4a nd nd nd 21.7b 2.3a nd LaMM 40.0 nd nd nd 10.1a nd nd nd nd 10.6a nd LaPL 40.4 nd nd nd 0.3a nd nd nd nd 0.2a nd LaMO 41.4 nd nd nd 2.1a nd nd nd nd 2.2a nd LLO a 14.9b 12.0c nd 17.2d 6.8e 10.0f 25.3g nd nd LaMP 42.0 nd nd nd 5.0a nd nd nd nd 5.4a nd PLL a 5.4b 5.3b nd 2.8c 6.4bd 7.6de 8.5e nd nd LaOO 42.8 nd nd nd 1.4a nd nd nd nd 1.6a nd OOL/ELnLn/MPL 43.0/43.0/ a 15.9b 15.2c 0.7d 14.7c 11.0f 12.8g 11.2f 0.9d 2.5a LaPP 44.0 nd nd nd 1.7a nd nd nd nd 1.9a nd PLP 44.4 nd 1.1a 3.2b nd 0.2c 1.3a 4.9d 0.5c nd 0.9e POL/MOO 44.6/ a 11.5b 14.0c 0.6a 13.1d 8.5e 14.9f 9.9g 0.7a 1.5b LaSO/MPO 45.4 nd nd nd 0.9a nd nd nd nd 1.0a nd OOO 46.2 nd 17.4a 10.0b 0.4c 9.3b 34.7d 9.6b 4.3e 0.5c 4.3e POO a 14.5b 14.1b 0.2a 12.8c 20.0d 14.4b 3.7e 0.4a 24.8f POP/ELL a 2.5b 6.3c 0.4d 2.3b 3.0b 7.7e 0.8d 0.4d 32.1f PPP 48.0 nd 0.2a 0.5b nd nd 0.3a 0.3a 0.9c nd 0.7d OOS a 4.8a 3.1b nd 4.3c 5.1a 2.1d 0.9e nd 2.5d POS a 1.8a 0.6b nd 7.5c nd 2.4d 0.9b nd 5.7e PPS 50.0 nd 0.6a 4.6b nd 2.3c 1.4d 2.3c 0.3e nd 0.2e SOS 51.4 nd 0.7a nd nd 1.0b 0.9a 2.8c 4.6d nd 0.2e EOO a nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd SSP a nd nd nd 1.9b 0.3c nd 1.1d nd 0.7e SSS a nd nd nd 0.8b 0.1c 0.8b 4.6d nd 0.1c ELE a nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd ELnE a nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd EEE a nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd EOE a nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd GGG a nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd EGG a nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd ELgE a nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd ELgLg a nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd nd Others Values with different superscript within the row indicates p value is <0.05, considered significant change in the parameters.

26 enzymes (Boskou 2006). The present study showed that 12,000 mg/kg of lignans in SESO and comprises the major portion of the unsaponifiable matter of SESO (1.54%) (Table 4). Squalene Squalene is an intermediate for the cholesterol and other sterols biosynthesis and it functions as an antioxidant, effective singlet oxygen quencher, prevent lipid peroxidation and protect skin from ultraviolet radiation (Huang et al., 2009). Schnetzler and Breene (1994) have reported the ranges of squalene in olive oil, wheat germ oil and rice bran oil as %. Sun et al., (1997) have reported that olive oil ( mg/kg) and amaranth seed oil (60,000-80,000 mg/kg) are the two potent sources of squalene. The present study showed that 197 mg/kg of squalene in ROO. MO showed 110 mg/kg of squalene and other unrefined oils showed the squalene content of 8 and 2 mg/kg for PNO and SESO respectively (Table 4). The refined oils contained squalene to varying levels and the squalene contents of 65, 6, 2, 2 and 1 mg/ kg were observed for RRBO, RSFO, RSBO, RCNO and RPO respectively. The consumption of ROO and MO may provide the health benefits of squalene to the consumers. Coenzyme Q 10 Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ10) is said to be one of the most powerful antioxidants than tocopherols. Coenzyme Q 10 is present at a relatively low concentration in edible oils and able to boost immune system, protect against heart desease and reduce blood pressure. The lowest amount of CoQ 10 was observed for CNO (CNO) of 117 μg/kg among unrefined oils (Table 4). PNO (963 μg/kg) followed by SESO (879 μg/kg) was exihibited highest CoQ10 content and among the unrefined oils. RPO (9945 μg/kg) has shown highest CoQ 10 level and RCNO (107 μg/kg) contained lowest CoQ10 level in among the refined oils. The RRBO, RSBO, ROO and RSFO showed the CoQ10 content of 3708, 2559, 1132 and 365 μg/kg respectively. The CoQ 10 level of CNO (116 μg/kg) and RCNO (107 μg/kg) were almost similar and did not show any significant difference (p<0.05). These results show that palm oil was rich in CoQ 10 (9945 μg/kg) compared to all the studied commercial vegetable oils and the consumption of palm oil may help to get the health benefits of CoQ 10 to the consumers. Red palm oil contains 10 times higher amounts of CoQ 10 than refined palm olein oil (Prasanth Kumar et al., 2014). TABLE 4 : Phytonutrients and Radical Scavenging Activity of the studied Vegetable Oils RSA The radical scavenging activity of vegetable oils was studied by DPPH method and expreseed as IC50 value to compare the radical scavenging efficiency of different vegetable oils. The lower IC50 value indicates higher redical scavenging activity. In this regards RPO showed better RSA (11.8 mg/kg) as compared to other vegetable oils. The oils showing efficiency of RSA in decreasing order was RPO>MO>RSFO>PNO>SESO>ROO>RBO> RSBO>CNO>RCNO (Table 4). This indicates that the RSA of an oil depends on the particular type of phytonutrients present in it. The consumption of vegetable oils with improved RSA may help in avoiding/reducing lipid peroxide in tissues and thereby can reduce the risk of onset of carcinogenesis in tissues. RPO and MO therefore may provide highest RSA. Red palm oil provides more RSA than RPO. Glycidyl Esters and MCPDE The content of glycidyl esters (GE) and 3-monochloropropanediol esters (3-MCPDE) in studied vegetable oils is reported in Table 5. Glycidyl esters were not detected in most of the unrefined vegetable oils viz. CNO, SESO, PNO, while, 1.1 mg/kg of glycidyl ester was detected in unrefined MO. Probably through the hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of residue from the oil seed pressing carried out under high temperature (Davý dek et al., 1980). The levels of glycidyl esters were found maximum in refined oils which ranged from 0.3 mg/kg (for RSFO) to 3.3 mg/kg for RRBO. The high level of GE in RRBO (3.3 mg/kg) and RPO (2.0 mg/kg) may be due to the long duration of processing of oils under high temperature. The low levels of mg/kg of GE in the other refined oils may be due to the temperature process carried out for short duration or could be due to low contents of partial glycerides in these oils. The level of 3-MCPDE was found high in RRBO (3.7 mg kg) and RPO (3.2 mg/kg) and in other refined oils the level of 3-MCPDE was varied from mg/kg. The comparatively high level of 3-MCPDE in RRBO and RPO could be was due to the inherently present DAGs in good amounts to start with and during processing these may enhance the levels of 3-MCPDE in such oils. In the case of other refined oils the presence of low DAGS and FFA might reduce the processing period and hence, chances of formation of 3-MCPDE got reduced.

CONCLUSION Most of the oils contained partial glycerides content of <10% of the total glycerides and provide slightly low calorie. The oils viz, rice bran oil, palm oil and refined CNO which are normally exposed to the attack of microbial lipase present in the raw material has shown comparatively higher level of partial glycerides. The phytonutrient composition of the oils revealed that all of them contained tocopherols, phytosterols, phenolics, squalene and coenzyme Q10 in different concentrations. But the RPO and RRBO prominently contained tocotrienols. Similarly, RRBO and SESO uniquely contained health beneficial compounds viz. oryzanol and lignans respectively in significant amounts. The variation in the phytonutrient composition was reflected in the radical scavenging efficiency of the different vegetable oils. Among the artifacts, trans fatty acid levels were minimal in most of the vegetable oils and are present as partial glycerides. GE and 3-MCPDE were found in higher amounts in refined oils having higher amounts of partial glycerides and the presence of glycidyl esters showed a positive correlation with the presence of 3-MCPDE in the studied vegetable oils. Studies are underway to throw light on this aspect.

28 Pulsed Light Technology : A novel method of Food Preservation 1 Deepti N. Chaudhari 2 Shraddha Pandit 1 Professor, Food Chemistry & Nutrition Dept. MIT College of Food Technology, Pune. 2 Student MIT College of Food Technology, Pune (M.S.) India ndeepti30@gmail.com INTRODUCTION The technique of pulsed light food processing was developed as a non-thermal food processing technique, which involves discharge of high voltage electric pulses (upto 70 kilovolt/cm) into the food product placed between two electrodes for few seconds (Angersbach et al., 2000).It is one of the emerging technologies which are used for the replacement of traditional thermal pasteurization among non- thermal processes (Heinz et al., 2002).It is a decontamination technique which aims at reducing the pests, spoilage microorganisms and pathogens from food without much effect on its quality (Bank et al., 1990). The pulsed light technology is a sterilization or decontamination technique used mainly to inactivate surface microorganisms on foods, packaging material and equipments This technique uses light energy in concentrated form and exposes the substrate to intense short bursts of light (pulses). Ultraviolet light, broad spectrum white light and near infrared light can be used for pulsed light processing(green et al., 2005). Keywords: Pulsed light, UV light, decontamination, inactivation, microorganisms. PRINCIPLE It is the non-thermal method of food preservation that involves the generation pulsed light with gradually increasing from low to high energy and then releasing the highly concentrated energy as broad spectrum bursts, to ensure microbial decontamination on the surface of foods and packaging foods. Within fractions of second, the electromagnetic energy gets stored in the capacitor and is then released in the form of light within a second, which results in power amplification and minimum additional energy consumption (Green et al., 2005).The inactivation efficiacy of pulsed light depends upon intensity (measured in Joule/cm-2) and the number of pulses delivered. The flow chart of pulsed electric field is shown in Figure 1. Fig. 1 : Factors affecting the Microbial Inactivation by Pulsed Light Type of micro-organisms Interaction between light and the substrate or between light and the microbial cell. The distance from the light source Design of pulsed light system What can it be used for? Liquid foods like milk, juices. Solid foods like fruits, vegetables, eggs, shell, fish and meat. Decontamination of food products Decontamination of food related packaging and equipments 28 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017 What can it NOT be used for? Light sensitive products (oxidation may occur) High protein or oil content foods (radiations are absorbed by proteins and oils) Colored food powders (black pepper, wheat flour) Foods with rough or uneven surfaces Applications 1. Pulsed light treatment given to eggs and egg-based products which were frequently associated with salmonellosis outbreaks caused by Salmonella Enteritidis. 2. Shelf-life extension and inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes on ready to eat cooked meat products using pulsed light. 3. Pulsed light treatment for decontamination of chicken from food pathogens like Salmonella typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes. 4. Pulsed light treatment for freshly cut mushroom. 5. Continuous flow pulsed light system for bacterial inactivation in fruit juices and milk. 6. Decontamination of food powders using pulsed ultraviolet (UV) light. 7. Decontamination of packaging material. 8. Decontamination of the stainless steel surfaces of food processing equipments that comes directly in contact with food products. 9. Pulsed light field technology in combination with other nonthermal processing technologies like ultra-violet light, high intensity pulsed light, pulsed electric field processing and manothermosonication to maintain product quality better. 10. Mitigation of allergens like peanut allergy using pulsed ultraviolet light. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES Advantages The intensity of light, that lasts for only a second, is 20,000 times brighter than sunlight, but there is no thermal effect, so quality and nutrient content are retained (Brown, 2008). The xenon-flash lamps used in pulsed light treatment are more eco-friendly than the mercury vapour lamps used in ultraviolet (UV) treatment (Gomez-Lopez et al., 2007). Pulsed white light is not strictly a non-thermal, but the thermal action, due to its very short duration, it doesn t show much adverse effect on the nutrients(ohlsson and Bengtsson, 2002).

29 Application of Biobased Packaging for Food Industry: A Solution of Environmental Pollution * 1 A. P. Khapre, 2 D.M. Shere, 3 K. S. Gadhe 1 Assistant Professor, MIT College of Food Technology, Aurangabad, 2 Head, Department of Food Science and Technology, 3 Associate Professor, Department of Food Science and Technology, College of Food Technology, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani (Maharashtra) * khapreft@gmail.com ABSTRACT The purpose of food packaging is to preserve the quality and safety of the food from the time of manufacture to the time it is used by the consumer. The most common packaging materials that meet these criteria are polyethylene or copolymer based materials, which have been in used by the food industry for over 50 years. However, one of the limitations with plastic food packaging materials is its decomposition or recycling. Biobased food packaging materials are materials derived from renewable sources. These materials can be used for food applications. Today, biobased polymers have increasing importance. The main reason is they are produced from renewable resources and also they can be recycled. Examples of these packaging materials include bio-based polymers, bioplastic or biopolymer packaging products made from raw materials originating from agricultural or marine sources. If we compare them with petroleum products; having recycle option, products of renewable resources, having low cost and having suitable properties for packaging applications are going to make them the most preferable material in the near future. Keywords: Biobased packaging, decomposition, polymer, recycling, renewable. INTRODUCTION Packaging is a means of providing the correct environmental conditions for food during the length of time it is stored and/or distributed to the consumer. The purpose of food packaging is to preserve the quality and safety of the food that it contains from the time of manufacture to the time it is used by the consumer. An equally important function of packaging is to protect the product from physical, chemical or biological damage (Dallyn and Shorten, 1998). The most well-known packaging materials that meet these criteria are polyethylene or co-polymer based materials, which have been in use by the food industry for over 50 years. These materials are not only safe, inexpensive, versatile, but also flexible (Tice, 2003). Within the plastic packaging market, food packaging is the largest growing sector. However, one of the limitations with plastic food packaging materials is that it is meant to be discarded, with very little being recycled. The presence of these types of packaging materials in landfills can be problematic on many fronts. First, if plastic is not recycled, these items end up in landfills, where they can last forever and never degrade. Secondly, many countries are faced with a decrease in landfill space, especially in densely populated areas. So, finding landfills for consumer and industrial waste may become more difficult in the future (Comstock et al., 2004). Another factor to consider is the dependence on petroleum products in the production of plastic packaging materials. With rising petroleum costs, there is concern with finding cost-effective ways to manufacture packaging materials. In addition to the above environmental issues, food packaging has been impacted by notable changes in food distribution, including globalization of the food supply, consumer trends for more fresh and convenient foods, as well as desire for safer and better quality foods. Given these and previously mentioned issues, consumers are demanding that food packaging materials be more natural, disposable, potentially biodegradable, as well as recyclable (Lopez-Rubio, 2004). To meet the growing demand of recyclable or natural packaging materials and consumer demands for safer and better quality foods, new and novel food grade packaging materials or technologies have been continue to be developed. Examples of these packaging materials include bio-based polymers, bioplastic or biopolymer packaging products made from raw materials originating from agricultural or marine sources (Cha and Chinnan, 2004). These types of packaging materials include, starch, cellulose, chitosan/chitin, protein (animal, plant-based), or lipids (animal, plant-derived). Within this context of packaging, edible films, gels or coatings may be considered biopolymers with some biodegradable properties. Another example of a biopolymer is polylactic acid (PLA). Other biopolymers have been made from marine prokaryotes, chemical synthesis, as well as from byproducts of other microorganisms (fungal exopolysaccharides). This review will address the implementation of biopolymers (i.e. edible gels, films or coatings), bio-based plastic packaging materials to improve the quality and/or safety of fresh or further processed meat and poultry products. TYPES OF BIOBASED POLYMERS Biobased polymers may be divided into three main categories based on their origin and production. Category 1: Polymers directly extracted/removed from biomass. Examples are polysaccharides like starch and cellulose and proteins like casein and gluten. Category 2: Polymers produced by classical chemical synthesis using renewable biobased monomers. A good example is polylactic acid, a biopolyester polymerised from lactic acid monomers. The monomers themselves may be produced via fermentation of carbohydrate feedstock. Category 3: Polymers produced by microorganisms or genetically modified bacteria. To date, this group of biobased polymers consists mainly of the polyhydroxyalkonoates, but developments with bacterial cellulose are in progress. Category 1: Polymers directly extracted from Biomass These natural polymers are most commonly available and are extracted from marine and agricultural animals and plants. Examples are polysaccharides such as cellulose, starch and chitin and proteins such as casein, whey, collagen and soy. All these polymers are, by nature, hydrophilic and somewhat crystalline. On the other hand, these polymers make materials with excellent gas barriers. A. Carbohydrate (Polysaccharides) To date, the principal polysaccharides of interest for material production have been cellulose, starch, gums,and chitosan. Likely, the more complex polysaccharides produced by fungi and bacteria (Category 3 biobased polymers) such as xanthan, curdlan, pullan and hyaluronic acid, will receive more interest in the future. 29 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

30 Starch and Derivatives Starch, the storage polysaccharide of cereals, legumes and tubers, is a renewable and widely available raw material suitable for a variety of industrial uses. As a packaging material, starch alone does not form films with adequate mechanical properties (high percentage elongation, tensile and flexural strength) unless it is first treated by either plastization, blending with other materials, genetic or chemical modification or combinations of the above approaches. Corn is the primary source of starch, although considerable amounts of starch are produced from potato, wheat and rice starch in Europe and United States. Starch is economically competitive with petroleum and has been used in several methods for preparing compostable plastics. However, a challenge to the development of starch materials is the brittle nature of blends with high concentrations of starch. Cellulose and Derivatives Cellulose is the most abundantly occurring natural polymer on earth and is an almost linear polymer of anhydroglucose. Because of its regular structure and array of hydroxyl groups, it tends to form strongly hydrogen bonded crystalline microfibrils and fibres and is most familiar in the form of paper or cardboard in the packaging context. Waxed or polyethylene coated paper is used in some areas of primary food packaging; however the bulk of paper is used for secondary packaging. Cellulose is a cheap raw material, but difficult to use because of its hydrophilic nature, insolubility and crystalline structure. To make cellulose or cellophane film, cellulose is dissolved in an aggressive, toxic mixture of sodium hydroxide and carbon disulphide (Xanthation) and then recast into sulphuric acid. The cellophane produced is very hydrophilic and, therefore, moisture sensitive, but it has good mechanical properties. It is, however, not thermoplastic owing to the fact that the theoretical melt temperature is above the degradation temperature, and therefore cannot be heat-sealed. Cellophane is often coated with nitrocellulose wax or PVdC (Poly Vinylidene Chloride) to improve barrier properties and in such form it is used for packaging of baked goods, processed meat, cheese and candies. However, there is considerable potential for the development of an improved cellulose film product or an improved production method as the existing product is problematic in both respects. Chitin/Chitosan Chitin is a naturally occurring macromolecule present in the exoskeleton of invertebrates and represents the second most abundant polysaccharide resource after cellulose (Kittur et al., 1998). Chitin is chemically composed of repeating units of 1,4- linked 2-deoxy-2-acetoamido D-glucose, and chitosan refers to a family of partially N-acetylated 2-deoxy-2-amino-glucan polymers derived from chitin. In general, chitosan has numerous uses: Flocculant, clarifier, thickener, gas-selective membrane, plant disease resistance promoter, wound healing promoting agent and antimicrobial agent. Chitosan also readily forms films and, in general, produces materials with very high gas barrier, and it has been widely used for the production of edible coating (Krochta and Mulder-Johnston, 1997). Furthermore, chitosan may very likely be used as coatings for other biobased polymers lacking gas barrier properties. However, as with other polysaccharide-based polymers, care must be taken for moist conditions. B. Proteins Proteins can be divided into proteins from plant origin (e.g. gluten, soy, pea and potato) and proteins from animal origin (e.g. casein, whey, collagen and keratin). A protein is considered to be a random copolymer of amino acids and the side chains are highly suitable for chemical modification which is helpful to the material engineer when tailoring the required properties of the packaging material. Due to their excellent gas barrier properties, materials based on proteins are highly suitable for packaging purposes. However, like starch plastics the mechanical and gas properties are influenced by the relative humidity due to their hydrophilic nature. Casein Casein is a milk-derived protein. Gluten Gluten is the main storage protein in wheat and corn. Soy protein Soy proteins are commercially available as soy flour, soy concentrate and soy isolate, all differing in protein content. Keratin Keratin is by far the cheapest protein. It can be extracted from waste streams such as hair, nails and feathers. Collagen Collagen is a fibrous, structural protein in animal tissue, particularly skin, bones and tendons, with a common repeating unit: glycine, proline and hydroproline. Collagen is a flexible polymer. Whey Whey proteins are by-products from the cheese production and are particularly rich in lactoglobulin. Zein Zein comprises a group of alcohol soluble proteins (prolamines) found in corn endosperm. Category 2: Polymers produced from Classical Chemical Synthesis from Biobased Monomers Using classical chemical synthesis for the production of polymers gives a wide spectrum of possible bio-polyesters. To date, polylactic acid is the Category 2 polymer with the highest potential for a commercial major scale production of renewable packaging materials. However, a wide range of other biopolyesters can be made. In theory, all the conventional packaging materials derived from mineral oil today can in the future be produced from renewable monomers gained by e.g. fermentation. Today, this approach is not economically feasible due to the cost of the production of the monomers. Polylactic Acid (PLA) Lactic acid, the monomer of polylactic acid (PLA), may easily be produced by fermentation of carbohydrate feedstock. The carbohydrate feedstock may be agricultural products such as maize, wheat or alternatively may consist of waste products from agriculture or the food industry, such as molasses, whey, green juice etc. (Sodergard, 2000). Recent results point out that a costeffective production of PLA can be based on the use of green juice, a waste product from the production of animal feeds (Garde et al., 2000). Biobased Monomers A wide variety of monomers, or chemical building blocks may be obtained from biobased feed stocks. These may be prepared using chemical and/or biotechnological routes. Since long, castor oil has been recognized as an interesting starting material for making polyurethanes. Due to their water resistance some castor oil based polyurethane materials have found application in the electronics industry and coating market. Some seed crops and flax seed also contain fatty acids and oils where the major components of the recovered oil are ß-linolenic acid, linoleic acid and oleic acid. This highly unsaturated material was of interest for application in coatings and paints and in other potential applications utilizing an air drying process (Buisman, 1999). Other oils from marine and agricultural origin have been used in numerous applications including paints and other waterproof coatings. Category 3: Polymers produced directly by Natural or Genetically Modified Organisms Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), of which polyhydroxybutyrates (PHB) is the most common, are accumulated by a large number of bacteria as energy and carbon reserves. Due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility, these biopolyesters may easily find industrial applications. Applications that have been developed from PHB and related materials (e.g. Biopol) can be found in very different areas and cover packaging, hygienic, agricultural and biomedical products. Recent application developments based on medium chain length PHAs range from high solid alkyd-like paints to pressure sensitive adhesives, biodegradable cheese coatings and biodegradable rubbers. 30 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

31 Bacterial Cellulose To date, bacterial cellulose is rather unexploited, but it represents a polymeric material with major potential (Iguchi et al., 2000). Bacterial strains of Acetobacter xylinum and A. pasteurianus are able to produce an almost pure form of cellulose (homo-beta-1, 4- glucan). Its chemical and physical structure is identical to the cellulose formed in plants (Brown, 1996). Plant cellulose, however, has to undergo a harsh chemical treatment to remove lignin, hemicelluloses and pectins. This treatment severely impairs the material characteristics of plant cellulose: the degree of polymerisation decreases almost ten-fold and the form of crystallization changes. Manufacturing of Biobased Food Packaging Engineering of a biobased package or packaging material requires knowledge of the processing and material properties of the polymers. If the properties of the native biopolymer are not identical to the required one, or if the polymer by nature is not thermoplastic, a certain modification of the polymer must take place. For very specific requirements (very low gas permeability or high water resistance) it is unlikely that one polymer will be able to provide all required properties even after modifications. Hence, it is necessary to use multiple materials in a composite, a laminate or co-extruded material. Biopolymers Modifications Thermoplastic Modifications (Physical/chemical) Product properties Product Fig. 1: Designing and manufacturing of Biobased Packages CONCLUSION Consumer demands are driving research and development for alternatives to petroleum based packaging materials including those with recyclable or edible properties, as well as those materials made from renewable agricultural products. Today, biobased polymers have increasing importance. The main reason is they are produced from renewable resources and also they can be recycled. Biobased polymers have different categories according to different production methods and different applications in food industry. The researches about applications of biobased polymers show that not only they have suitable properties for applications in food industry but also they have a low cost. If we compare them with petroleum products; having recycle option, products of renewable resources, having low cost and having suitable properties for packaging applications are going to make them the most preferable material in the near future.

Contd. from Page 28 Pulsed Light Technology : A novel method of Food Preservation Disadvantages A possible problem of this preservation method is that folds or fissures in the food may protect microbes from being exposed to the pulsed light (Brown, 2008). There might be some strains of micro-organisms which are resistant to the pulsed light treatment, for example Listeria monocytogenes (Caminiti et al., 2011a). This technique for decontamination of micro-organisms is useful mostly in case of liquid foods and surface of solid foods and hence limiting its application. CONCLUSION The pulsed light processing is a new concept and has many applications in the food industry as a non-thermal technique of food preservation. While developing the applications of pulsed light processing, it is to be taken into consideration that the food to be processed, the microbial type and load affect the efficacy of the treatment. Though with some limitations, if complemented with other processing techniques this technology can help in better food preservation with minimal effects on the food quality. There are some microbial species resistant to the pulsed light processing technique and so such species should be studied and also the foods they contaminate be considered separately for processing. This technique has showed potent in reducing peanut allergy. It can be further studied to reduce other allergies associated with food. This technique being still new and hardly commercialized should be researched for economization.

32 Polyunsaturated Fats An Ingredient of choice Dr. Saurabh Arora Founder, Food Safety Helpline.com Chemically speaking, polyunsaturated fats are lipids in which the hydrocarbon chain contains two or more carbon-carbon double bonds. This essentially means that the double bonds are unsaturated and have the capacity to accommodate more hydrogen atoms, thereby gradually becoming saturated. When there are no more double bonds left in the hydrocarbon chain, the fat is said to be fully saturated. Importantly, oils that contain polyunsaturated fats are generally liquid at room temperature. However, at lower temperatures they start to solidify. Polyunsaturated fats are commonly referred to as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). In this article, we will use these terms interchangeably. WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF POLYUNSATURATED FATS? There are many foods that are rich in PUFA. These are usually plant-based oils although other foods also contain them. The rich sources of PUFA are mentioned below: Soybean oil Corn oil Sunflower oil Safflower Cottonseed Rapeseed Olive oil Nuts and seeds Fatty fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and albacore tuna What are the Daily requirements of Polyunsaturated Fats? As per the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines, the following polyunsaturated fats constitute the total PUFA pool: Linoleic acid (LA) Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) Arachidonic acid (AA) Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) Docosahexaenoic (DHA) The ICMR recommended dietary intake of PUFA for Indians, based on the percentage (%) of total energy (E) are given in Table 1. TABLE 1: Recommended Dietary intake of PUFAs Physiological Total PUFAs groups/age/gender (LA + ALA + AA + EPA + DPA + DHA) Adult man/woman AI* Infants 0-6 months Human milk 6-24 months U-AMDR** 15 Children 3-18 years U-AMDR** 11 (both boys and girls) * AI: adequate intake; ** U-AMDR: upper limit of accepted macronutrient dietary range Package Labelling: What does the FSSAI say? The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is the apex food regulatory body in the country. The FSSAI, as per the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging and Labelling) Regulations, 2011, has clearly indicated that the nutritional information is to be indicated on the package display panel. Regarding fats, the composition of the following types of fats should be displayed: Total fat Saturated fat Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) Trans fatty acids Cholesterol What are the Health Benefits of Polyunsaturated Fats? Polyunsaturated fats, along with monounsaturated fats are regarded as healthy fats. Consuming moderate amounts of these fats instead of saturated or trans fats can be beneficial to health. Polyunsaturated fats help to lower the levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) which is the bad cholesterol as it can cause blockage of small blood vessels that increase the risk of heart disease. Polyunsaturated fats bind to and clear out saturated fats, cholesterol and triglycerides which can cause coronary artery disease. Polyunsaturated fats have also been shown to benefit people suffering from mental illness. For example, studies have revealed that polyunsaturated fats improve depression. They have also been reported to be beneficial for children suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Oils that are rich in PUFA also provide essential oils that are not produced by the body and therefore must be provided in the diet. Two of these essential oils are omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial to health and are found in fish oil, olive oil, canola oil, walnuts, peanuts, and almonds. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DHA) are the most beneficial of the omega-3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends consumption of omega-3 fatty acids daily for optimal heart health. Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial in the following ways: These are cardioprotective These are anti-inflammatory Help in brain development in infants Help to maintain healthy hair, nails, and skin Omega-6 fatty acids are present in large amount in safflower oil, which has the highest content (75%) of all dietary sources. Omega-6 fatty acids are beneficial in the following ways: Help to control blood sugar Help to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus Effective in lowering blood pressure in case of hypertension In Conclusion: Why are Polyunsaturated Fats an Ingredient of Choice? Polyunsaturated fats are important ingredients of many types of food, including processed foods. Most of these are generally good for a healthy lifestyle and are easy to digest. Some of these include the following: Breakfast cereals (corn flakes, chocos, muesli, oats) Baked products (breads, biscuits) Fruit juice (packaged) Contd. on Page BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

Keywords: Robotics, Automation, Robots, Computer vision systems INTRODUCTION ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION IN FOOD INDUSTRY Robotics and automation in the food industry provides a comprehensive overview of current and emerging technologies and their applications in different industry sectors.the implementation of robotics and automation in the food sector offers great potential for improved safety, quality and profitability by optimizing process monitoring and control. Industrial automation has a wide breadth of knowledge and experience in the food processing industry. The current level of automation in the food industry has beendescribed as islands of automation. Nonetheless, the food industry now ranks among the fastest growing segments for plant automation. The food industry is among the top ten in using machine vision technology, a key component in plant automation. However, most systems are isolated, batch-type operations that target a specific task. In order for automation to be successful, it must be integrated into the overall manufacturing system design and provide on-line, continuous control capability. ROBOTICS Robotics is a branch of science and engineering dealing with the study of robotics. It is involved with a design of robot, manufacture, application and their structural disposition. Robots are essential production tool which is a recent entrant in food processing. Robots used in Food Industry The robot configuration that is frequently used includes articulated robots, SCARA robots and Cartesian coordinate robots. Most robots are fall into the category of robotic arms. Robots reveal varying degrees of autonomy. Some robots are programmed to faithfully carry out specific actions over and over again. The robotic actions are determined by programmed routines that specify the direction, acceleration, velocity, deceleration and distannce of a series of coordinated motions. Other robots are much more flexible as to the orientation of the object on which they are operating or even the task that has to be performed on the object itself, which the robot may even need to identify. Types of Robots Robots can be categorized using various criteria: as stationary or mobile robots, orin industrial robots, servicerobots or harvesting robots.a robot is usually classified in accordance with its kinematics,i.e. its mechanical arrangement. Portal Robots Portal robots are mounted robotic systems that span a cubic handling area by means of three linear axes. The actual robotic kinematics (the moving axes) are located above the mounting. Articulated Robots Articulated robots are industrial robots with multiple interacting jointed arms that can be fitted with grippers or tools.because these arms can move through three dimensions, articulated robots offer a high degree of flexibility. Depending on how many axes they have, they can offer up to six degrees of freedom, which enables almost any combination of movement. A limitation of articulated robots is that they generally have a restricted range and load capacity. SCARAs Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arms, or SCARAs, are a particular form of articulated robots. They have a single articulated arm that can only move horizontally. They work in a similar way to human arms and are often called horizontal articulated arm robots. SCARAs work in series, with each arm connected to only one other. Delta Robots Spider-like delta robots a special form of parallel robot typically have three to four articulated axes with stationary actuators. Because their actuators are located in the base, these kinds of robots have only a small inertia. This allows for very high speeds and acceleration. It is a certainty that the latest development in robotics, namely industrial lightweight robots, will be also relevant for the food industry. These robots are small, light, convenient, sensitive and above all flexible properties that make them an interesting option for tasks that have previously not been automated. Thanks to their low weight and integrated torque sensors that cover all directions, these robots are able to work in unstructured environments, meaning there is no longer anything preventing man and robot from working together. Application Areas of Industrial Robots The automotive and automotive supplier industry as well as industry in general will lead the way when it comes to using robots on a large scale to perform tasks of varying complexity. But for a long time now, robots have also been playing a key role in the food and beverage industry. The robots are still being used mainly for heavy work such as palletisation and for other tasks related to packaging and re-packing. The companies surveyed that did deploy robots in production used them for cheese smearing, for work in cheese maturing rooms, for depositing and traying functions and for loading of bread into ovens. 33 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

34 Advances in the field of image capture and processing were instrumental. The digital image processing encompasses a number of processes, all of which are designed to obtainuseful data from a picture or sequence of pictures.in an industrial context, real-time images of actual processes are captured through contactless means,visually represented and automatically analysed. At the end of an industrial image processing cycle, automatic decisions are made on the basis of the resultsor measurement readings. These can then be used asparameters for controlling entire manufacturing processesor sub-processes and for monitoring individual pieces of production equipment and machinery. Automation The automation of manufacturing plants has been actively pursued for more than 50 years. The increased zeal in industrial automation is mainly due to the explosive growth in computer hardware and software technology. The extent of industrial automation depends a great deal on the type of industry.computer Vision System is the tool in automation system in developing food industries. Computer Vision Systems Computer vision is the science that develops the theoretical and algorithmic basis by which useful information about an object or scene can be automatically extracted and analyzed from an observed image, image set, or image sequence.in general, a machine vision system is used to measure some aspect of the results of the manufacturing process (e.g., shape, size, texture, location) that is indicative of the accuracy, efficiency, or quality of the process. The essential steps in such a process are image acquisition, image processing, and image understanding.the image-processing step involves several key operations such as preprocessing, segmentation, and feature extraction. The imageprocessing step relies heavily on the knowledge of the product being evaluated and the nature of the defect or quality attributes of interest. Together, they facilitate image understanding and enable final decisions to be made. Real time image processing boards and real time processors are available to assist in on-line real time computer vision applications. Most practical applications can be grouped into six general categories: Gauging performing precise dimensional measurements. Verification qualitatively ensuring that one or more desired features are present and/or undesired features are absent. Flow detection finding and discriminating unwanted features of unknown size, location, and shape. Identification determining the identity of an object from symbols, including alphanumeric characters. Recognition determining the identity of an object from observed features. Locating determining the location and orientation of an object. Applications of Automation in food Industry This process commonly involved in numerous consumable product processes starting from raw materials, through processing, and on into packaging and shipping. For example the Automation in dairy industry have developed custom control solutions as simple as a dairy homogenizer to the total plant control where it comprises bagged ice production facility, weighing systems, mixing systems, process temperature control, process pressure control and level control are all involved in a complete system.recent developments in vision systems include color image processing and threedimensional (3-D) image processing. These developments offer additional benefits, especially for more challenging inspection tasks. Some excellent examples of automation include processing and packaging of fresh eggs and dairy products. Although most baking is in automatic ovens, baked products are still manually graded and packaged. In poultry industry, automation is possible as long as the birds are graded into different weight classes. Development in this industry can offer automatic slaughtering, plucking, washing, decapitating, and eviscerating of poultry carcasses at a fairly high rate. Another commercial operation is automatic fish processing. An automated butchering system separates the edible loin portions of transverse tuna slices. Each slice is scanned by a computer vision system, and control signals are transmitted to a cutting arm that then separates the edible portion. Vision systems have also been successfully used in automating sweet corn processing. REFERENCES Fellner, M.; Delgado, A.; Becker, T.

Polyunsaturated fats are not only nutritious but also quickly digested and easily assimilated by the body. As components of a balanced diet on a daily basis, polyunsaturated fats are important to keep various organs of the body in pristine condition and functioning properly. Therefore, the multiple health benefits of polyunsaturated fats as discussed above, underscore the fact that these are ideal ingredients of choice for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

35 What Bar Manufacturers want : No cross-contamination, low product waste and high productivity Peter Dressler Sales Director, Bar Technology Bosch Packaging Technology Peter.Dressler@bosch.com Q. What trends are you seeing in terms of Bar production? A. I believe three factors have an impact on bar production. First, there is the trend for eating on the go. Pace of life is becoming ever faster, and people are trying to juggle an increasing number of things such as their job, family, and leisure time. Snacks including bars are playing an increasing role in this kind of lifestyle. Consumers keep them to hand throughout the day, and they sometimes replace actual meals. As such, consumers no longer simply want traditional chocolate bars, but are looking for healthy alternatives such as grain-based or sugar-free bars. This is the second trend, I suppose, whereby people are asking for healthy bars and/or bars that do not contain a given ingredient. It is particularly important for those with allergies that bars do not contain nuts or gluten. Bars with healthy grains like chia seeds are in keeping with this health-conscious trend, as are gluten-free products, which promise improved digestion and weight-balancing effects and are seen as a healthy alternative to wheat and rye. All this is obviously influencing the range of snacks that retailers are offering now and what they will offer in future. But the demand for variety is not just limited to taste as bars are being produced in a wider range of sizes, too. All these developments are creating new challenges for bar manufacturers in terms of bar production. 1 Q. How can Manufacturers Plan their Bar Production to cope with the Challenges? A. Firstly, it can prove advantageous to aim for a complete bar production solution, whereby all the production processes are tailored to each other. In any event, bar production must be organized in a way which prevents cross-contamination when products are switched. This can be achieved by ensuring that bar production lines are designed with hygiene in mind. Integrated quick-release systems ensure quick and easy access for the operator, without tools required for maintenance and cleaning work. It should be possible to clean any dirty machine parts during production. Special surface coatings or easy-to-manipulate scrapers can also stop material building up on machine surfaces. So a well thought out design can play a major part in ensuring compliance with the food industry s strict hygiene regulations. To ensure production processes are efficient, every component used in bar production, from dosage through to cooling, should be highly flexible and enable fast product changeovers. This can be achieved by ensuring machine parts can be adjusted or removed without the need for tools. A good example is the way that bars are fanned out, whereby a movable fanning system makes format switches really quick and easy. If this is coupled with an intuitive user interface, the machine will improve both productivity and product quality. Q. Why is Hygienic Design so Important? A. The number of food-related recalls in 2015 was some 78 percent up on 2014 according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in Britain. The main reasons for the 159 recalls during 2015 related to failures to list ingredients, with 63 cases involving nutritional issues, and 96 involving allergies. Manufacturers found themselves obliged to recall products containing allergenic ingredients such as nuts, milk, and gluten, while bacteria such as salmonella, and even metal were found in some products. Given the significant increases in these figures, the FSA believes immediate action is required by both manufacturers and suppliers. This is why hygienic design - from a manufacturing perspective is so fundamentally important in terms of ensuring product safety for consumers and avoiding costly recalls which can be so damaging to a company s reputation. 2 Q. What do Bar Manufacturers need to consider when purchasing a Bar System? A. The line must definitely be designed with long production cycles and uniform quality in mind. This is particularly important given that manufacturers are no longer just producing traditional chocolate bars, but are also making muesli, granola, and cereal bars, bars containing fruit, coconut, or a combination of nougat and caramel, and even brittle bars, and bars with multiple layers. Consistent quality is a must, given the wide choice of products available! Unsurprisingly, the first things to get correct in order to ensure consistent quality are the mixing ratios. Gentle handling is also important, particularly when working with flaky ingredients, to avoid damaging the product. Another essential requirement is technology capable of ensuring consistent mixing quality, even when different volumes are being put through. Apart from high flexibility and hygienic design, a further important issue for manufacturers is the need to minimize product waste, most of which occurs during the shaping phase. With the help of new technologies, the process of edge cutting, for example also known as trimming can even be eliminated completely. This helps improve profitability. Once the material has been shaped and pre-cooled, the next step is to accurately cut the slab down to size. Again with a view to avoid product waste, manufacturers can opt for ultrasonic sealing technology, which exerts very little pressure and tension on the bars, and thereby ensures the quality. Q. How can Manufacturers achieve the Highest Possible Productivity? A. By sourcing an entire line from a single provider! Let me explain why. Using different machines during bar production can lead to problems at interfaces. Complications involving compatibility between individual components not only lead to delays when trying to integrate processes, but also have an adverse effect on the productivity of a line. From the mixing, shaping, pre-cooling, crosswise cutting, and fanning out stages, right through to lengthwise cutting, covering, and final cooling a system whose elements are tailored to each other saves time and money in the long run. From the manufacturer s perspective, every second counts during production. In order to keep up with demand and remain competitive, systems must therefore be designed with high output levels in mind. A fully integrated line even extending beyond actual production to incorporate primary and secondary packaging can ensure maximum effectiveness for the system as a whole.

36 Trends in Edible Cutlery and Tableware Amrita Poonia*, Prashasti Yadav *Assistant Professor,Centre of Food Science and Technology Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (U.P) ABSTRACT The concept of edible crockery is a recent area of development seeing the alarming situation that the excessive generation of plastic wastes has created. Plastics being nonbiodegradable are a major threat to the environment. Be it the PET bottles that store water at our homes or the cutlery used by street food vendors, plastic is everywhere and even in your food. A petroleum by-product any kind of plastic is made with certain chemicals that can leach into your food. Bisphenol A (BPA), toxins, endocrine disruptors and carcinogens may migrate from the containers to the contents. The United Nations Environmental Program estimates that 110 million tons of plastic are used annually worldwide, with much of it ending up in landfills, where it can take up to 1,000 years to decompose. In general, relatively little plastic is recycled due to the risk of contaminating a recycling stream as a result of differing chemical compositions in various plastics. As concerns over the health of our global environment increase, researchers are developing and expanding on creative alternatives to traditional plastics (Garfield, 2012). INTRODUCTION Cutlery has become an important part of our daily routine in our busy schedules from morning till night. With increased use of plastics having various carcinogenic, toxic and harmful chemicals which we eat, drink or use and with increased cases of cancer, dermatological, cardiovascular and other diseases, it is very important to keep ourselves fit and avoid the use or contact of such harmful contaminants in what we eat, drink or use. Now- a- days peoples are shifting towards closer to the nature and various natural practices like yoga and meditation are being adopted to keep one self fit. Use of organic food materials which claim to be produced using natural fertilizers and herbal pesticides without any harmful chemicals and synthetic materials, is also growing very rapidly. While taking all these precautions, it has not been possible for everyone to safeguard himself from use or contact of these harmful chemicals. However, one should keep trying to minimize the use of such contaminants in his routine life to the possible extent. The cutlery that we use is made up of metal or plastic, purified after use and repeatedly used. Utensils dishes and cutlery which are employed in picking up, cutting and containing food and drinks are generally made of non-biodegradable materials such as plastic, steel, glass and aluminium. Existing elements and dishes of this type include, for example, plastic cups and glass plates. Another material which is commonly used with food and drinks is paper, which, although it may be recycled, has negative ecological effects. Re-use of these utensils comes with the advantage of multiple times use of the utensil but it also has certain limitations like cost of the utensils, their safe storage, proper hygienic cleaning of the utensil before and after use. If the utensil is not properly cleaned, it may be a source of pathogens, dust particles and chemicals used in the cleaning. The other sources of contamination may be poor handling by the person responsible, poor quality of cleansing material used, contamination in the water used for washing and cleaning or even deficiency of clean and hygienic water. Carrying these utensils, more particularly, cutleries in travels and journeys is generally not very user friendly due to scarcity of clean and hygienic water for cleaning and their safe storage. The edible cutlery is made of a mix of sorghum, rice, and wheat flours. Flavors can be added, such as onion, tomato, garlic, and ginger. They are baked until dry but are not so hard they cannot be chewed. The unflavored cutlery does not dominate the flavors of the meal. They also hold up to liquids because of the high sorghum content. If eating them is not an option, they will degrade safely in any outside environment. By eating the cutlery, the added benefit is nutrition. They contain fibre, iron, protein, calcium, folic acid and B vitamins. Currently, edible cutlery is in the initial stages of production. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that plastics used in food packaging be of greater purity than plastics used for other purposes. This is commonly known as food grade plastics. According to Indian guidelines the food grade plastics which leach less than 60 ppm chemicals are considered safe. In the United States the permissible limit is lower than 45 ppm. But why should we expose ourselves to even 1 ppm of plastic when we have an alternative? This idea was expressed by Sir Peesapathy. Indian Scenario India-based start up Bakeys Foods is broadening its plant-based line of spoons. Dubbed Edible Cutlery, the original spoon (a rice-, wheat-, and sorghum-based product) is completely safe to eat, but also fully biodegradable if people choose not to eat it. Organic, vegan, and kosher, the spoons do not have any added chemicals or preservatives and enjoy a shelf life of approximately two years, yet only take a few days to degrade naturally. Broad success of the appealing green spoons inspired the company to continue innovating; Bakeys now has prototypes of forks, chopsticks, dessert spoons, and soup spoons. The company also has plans to create taster spoons, coffee stirrers, and toothpicks. As more consumers adopt the innovative product, Bakeys hopes the use of Edible Cutlery will contribute to helping the global water crisis, environmental sustainability, and climate change issues (Olewitz, 2016). Founded by groundwater researcher, Narayana Peesapathy, Indian company Bakeys is launching the world s first edible cutlery line. Typical plastic disposable cutlery contains cancerous chemicals and is non-biodegradable. An estimated 120 billion pieces of cutlery is disposed every year. Concerned about these issues, Peesapathy invented a healthy alternative, edible cutlery made out of sorghum, wheat and rice flour. It sells, on average, 1.5 million pieces each year in India. With focus on health and nutrition, there are three basic ingredients that are used to make the cutlery- sorghum, rice and wheat flour. The quantity of each ingredient varies according to the type of spoon. The major focus was done on the utilization of sorghum for this purpose. Talking a little about the speciality of sorghum, here are a few health benefits of Sorghum:- Sorghum is naturally rich in both iron and calcium. It contains niacin and folic acid that act as stress busters. 36 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

This was made using a cookie for the outside and a special patented sugar icing on the inside. Serving a dual purpose, it creates an insulator for the cookie and adds sweetness to the coffee. Edible Cups Edible cup made from a wafer coated with sugar paper and lined with a heat resistant white chocolate. The chocolate lining will melt and soften the crisp wafer in the same way that a biscotti softens when dipped in coffee. Not only do the edible cups taste amazing, but they smell delicious, too. The aroma used in these cups including Coconut Sun Cream, Freshly Cut Grass and Wild Flowers.. They were designed to evoke memories of warm weather, sun and summer holidays things that make everyone smile. Chocolate Kettle This chocolate kettle has been developed and is used in practice in several restaurants in U.K. When hot milk is poured in the kettle, the chocolate melts and mixes with the milk and converts it to a hot chocolate drink. Wheat Bowls The company Munch Bowls (pvt.) Ltd. was founded by Georgina de Kock and established in the Western Cape, South Africa, since They are the original producers of the edible, crisp Wheat bowls, known as Munch Bowls. The bowl is eco-friendly, edible alternative to plastic and polystyrene and other wasteful food containers. The product won the top award at SIAL INNOVATIONS CHINA Special Innovation Award in May 2014 out of 63 countries and 90 entries. The company aims to help reduce our Carbon Footprint locally and internationally. They want to develop innovative edible ecofriendly green products on a continuous basis plus to give an ecofriendly option to the conscious food catering industry. The company uses several ingredients which are specific to this product. They use premium unbleached stone ground flour for the production of these crisp bowls. The other ingredients used are Wheat flours (Gluten), Wheat Bran (Gluten), Canola Seed Oil, Salt and Rooibos tea added as natural anti-oxidant with health benefits.

If needed to restore crispness, place in oven 3-5 minutes at ºC. The bowls are available in the size variants of 150 ml and 300 ml bowls in plain and sweet flavour. Edible Spoons Beenu Talwar (2012) reported that edible cutlery is a new concept in which the cutlery like bowl and spoons are eaten along with the meal. This idea has been used for long but has not got enough impetus in the developing world. In this world, where the sale of plastic cutlery is growing at a rate of 30 percent, is generating non biodegradable waste and is contributing to overflowing landfills. Edible cutlery is a solution that provides the same convenience as disposable forks, spoons and chopsticks without any environmental problems. It s tasty, it s healthy, it s convenient, and it promotes a cleaner tomorrow. Christoph Kienle (1993) filled a patent on disposable containers manufactured as a bakery product in the form of shells and the like receive a particularly long shelf-life and liquid-tightness by their being furnished at least on the inside with a glazing containing at least a protein. To further increase the liquid-tightness, they can be manufactured from a dough which is formed as a lye-treated (pretzel-type) dough. Bio Bottle Iceland Academy of the Arts design student Ari Jonsson recently created a red algae bottle capable of fully decomposing after use. It is evident that bottle 50 percent of plastic is discarded after just one use. Jonsson experimented with multiple materials to compare and contrast strengths and weaknesses, ultimately choosing powdered agar (which is made from algae). The bottle is created by heating a proportioned agar-water composition, pouring it into a bottle-shaped mold, and then submerging the bottle in ice-cold water and rotating it until the liquid inside forms the shape of a bottle. The agar bottle is then refrigerated for several minutes until it can be removed from the mold. As long as the bottle remains filled with water, it is capable of holding its shape; however, once empty, it begins to decompose. Other Tableware Biotrem Tableware is also a multinational company which is dealing with the production of edible cutlery worldwide. This company is headquartered in Warsaw, Poland. Jerzy Wysocki came from a family which dealt with milling operation. He decided to utilize the large quantity of wheat bran produced during the course of milling. 37 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

38 Due to mechanical and thermal processing bran tableware is rigid, fairly hard and in spite of absence of chemical additives can be used for serving foods. It does not contain any hazardous substances which could penetrate through the food. It can be used even in an oven and microwaves also. It has excellent insulating properties. Due to natural texture and original appearance it instantly gains consumers trust and liking. Spaghetti Twister Sylvester Madison (2012) filled a patent on an edible utensil for winding up elongated pasta having projections extending radially from the surface of the utensil. The utensil is made of a food product such as bread that is reasonably rigid to hold bundles of elongated pasta. In operation, the utensil is placed against a plate containing a type of elongated pasta while the utensil is grasped. The utensil is substantially vertically positioned with respect to the plate. The user then rotates the utensil so that the strands of pasta wind up onto the tines of the utensil. The pasta and the portion of the utensil surrounded by the pasta are then consumed in the ordinary manner. Advantages of edible cutlery over plastic cutlery While it is better for the environment, paper packaging still comes with a carbon footprint and creates unnecessary waste. Edible packaging is biodegradable and compostable, reducing the amount of litter that ends up in a landfill. Fast-forward to Today, Wiki Foods technology is being sold at Whole Foods, an American foods supermarket specializing in organic and natural foods. Wiki Foods is collaborating with Stony field, the New Hampshire purveyor of organic dairy products, to create Frozen Yogurt Pearls. The Pearls use the same soft, thin, and edible packaging that Wiki Foods debuted last summer for their own Wiki Pearl ice cream balls. Each one wraps a scoop-sized amount of Stony field s frozen yogurt in a coconut, strawberry, or peach flavored packaging. It is a utopian, cradle-to-cradle approach to eliminating waste created from food packaging. Edible packaging is not without its critics. Various advantages of edible cutlery has been listed in Table 2. TABLE 2 : Comparison of edible cutlery with plastic cutlery Parameters Plastic cutlery Edible cutlery Cost Low cost Low cost Convenience High High Disposal Though easy causes Can be eaten after harmful effects on using it or can be environments left to decompose Taste leaves bad taste when Does not dominate the used to consume food taste of the food being consumed Health Not good for health (causes Good for health when cancer, damages nervous consumed after finishing tissue and is hormone- the food (contains fibre, disruptive ) iron, protein, calcium, etc., in proper proportions) Effects on When disposed, plastic is Takes a lot lesser time environment resistant to decomposition to decompose and acts therefore takes long time as a good fertilizer to decompose Energy used Petroleum is used It is manufactured using to produce to produce plastic flour of food grains It contributes to human nutrition upon consumption. Zero damage to the environment because of easy decomposition. It is convenient to use. It is cost effective. There are no added preservatives, completely natural. Disadvantages The only limitation yet seen for edible cutlery is that you can t think of all kind of cutlery items which can be edible at the same time. For e.g. Plates produced with food based materials, once placed on the table are not safe for consumption any more. CONCLUSIONS If we were to go by numbers, India uses about 120 billion pieces of disposable cutlery every year. We have used them in birthday parties or many other events and mostly at street stalls. Ironically, some places may not even dispose the cutlery, simple wash and reuse it promoting the risk of bacterial contamination. The metalliclooking plastic cutlery that may seem appealing is coated with nickel, chromium and lead. When it scraps the surface of your palate, the coating can easily come off. The plastics are easily recyclable. To top it all, it s actually the cheap plastic that captures about 95% of the market share. For personal use we can use metal cutlery at home. But for parties and functions to make it a successful zero waste event we can use edible cutlery. This will help to contribute to our nutrition upon consumption. If you don t want to consume it then it can be discarded and it gets decomposed easily in a very short time span. We as food technologists need to spread awareness towards commercialising the use of edible cutlery and reduce the bulk of plastic wastes produced every year. This is because the pollution caused by plastic wastes is an alarming situation. Plastics are non-biodegradable. Sometimes plastics and other packaging materials hamper with the taste of food. Going eco-friendly is the need of the hour. REFERENCES Christoph Kienle (1993) Method of manufacturing a disposable container.

FSSAI launches online platform for food inspection, sampling To bring in transparency in food safety inspection and sampling, food regulator FSSAI recently put in place a nationwide online platform and asked states to adopt this system as it would help eliminate discrepancy and make food safety officers accountable. The web-based 'FoSCoRIS' system will help verify compliance of food safety and hygiene standards by food businesses as per the government norms. The new system will bring together all key stakeholders food businesses, food safety officers (FSOs), designated officers, state food safety commissioners on a nation-wide IT platform and data related to inspection, sampling and test result data will be shared seamlessly by all the officials. "This system will give a clear picture to the FSSAI on the real-time basis and helps eliminate any discrepancy, hence inspection is accountable," the regulator said in a letter written to states. The system will ease out the process of sample collection make it transparent and traceable and controls the quality of compliances, it said. The system will ease out the process of sample collection, make it transparent and traceable and controls the quality of compliances, it said. Directing the states to adopt the new system, the FSSAI said this requires a hand-held device with internet connectivity with FSOs. It has asked those states that have already provided hand-held devices to FSOs to straightway adopt the system while other states have been asked to provide such devices to FSOs or on rental and even reimburse mobile expense to them. The states have been told to appoint a nodal officer for this purpose and send the details of the officers of the state food authority for integrating them with FoSCoRIS. In the initial phase, the FSSAI said, it has decided to bear the cost of rental plans for first three months to a maximum of Rs. 500 per month per connection to first ten states and UTs. Basmati rice exports grows 32% in Q1 driven by Iranian demand After a three year consecutive decline in exports, the exports of Indian Basmati rice witnessed a growth of 32 per cent in Q1FY2018, especially driven by demand from Iran, a report said here. Indian Basmati rice exports have witnessed a rebound in the current fiscal with Q1FY2018 registering a 32 per cent growth in exports contributed by 25 per cent increase in realisations and 7 per cent increase in volumes, rating agency ICRA said in a report. This comes after a three year consecutive decline in basmati exports till FY2017 (Rs. 21,605 crore), it said. In the past, despite the volumes holding firm, the exports have been adversely impacted by pressure on realisations from peak of Rs. 77,988/ MT in FY2014 to Rs. 54,011/MT in FY2017, driven by lower demand in the global market as well as lower paddy prices over the procurement seasons of FY2015 and FY2016. Commenting on the trend, Deepak Jotwani, Assistant Vice President, ICRA said, Basmati rice exports in the current fiscal have been encouraging, especially driven by demand from Iran. The Middle Eastern countries are the biggest importers; and also a source of volatility in demand. ICRA expects that the demand concerns in the form of Iran import ban and sluggishness from other key geographies would be overcome and export volumes in FY2018 to be around 4.1 million MT (4 per cent higher than FY2017). In addition, higher paddy prices in the last procurement season and likelihood of firm prices in the upcoming procurement season are expected to push up the average realisations in FY2018, the report said.

With the improving cold chain infrastructure in the country, coupled with the increasing disposable incomes and the changing lifestyles, the sector has great potential for growth, he added. Rajesh Gandhi, managing director, Vadilal Industries Ltd, and president, IICMA, said, it was just not the per capita consumption of ice cream which was increasing, but also the consumers demand for the delicacy. Gandhi said, Manufacturers are now investing on their capacity expansion, as well as innovating with new flavours, and this event is the perfect platform to share innovative ideas. Shah duly acknowledged the role of ice cream parlours as they didn t just contribute to the companies growth, but to the development of the industry as well. They become the focal points, as ice cream lovers associate with several popular brands through them. After soaring to Rs. 40 per kg, tomato prices plunge in wholesale markets Just a couple of months ago, tomato prices had soared to Rs per kg in wholesale markets and Rs per kg in retail markets in almost all parts of the country. Prices have now dropped down to Rs per kg in wholesale markets on huge supplies entering the markets almost the same time, top industry people said. Top officials of the Vegetable Growers Association of India (VGAI) say that prices are likely to drop further below the Rs. 10 per kg levels for the next few months on ample supplies. The area under tomato has almost gone up three to four times since the previous season but the productivity has reduced by almost 50%, Shriram Gadhave, president, VGAI said. Officials of the Pimpalgaon Baswant Agriculture Produce Market Committee said that with the season in full swing, tomato arrivals were also booming. Gadhave pointed out that with vegetables and tomatoes arriving in other states as well, there is no demand for tomatoes from other states and therefore the supplies are aplenty in the state. This season, the area has gone up almost three times on good rains from around 2 lakh hectares in the state to 5-6 lakh hectares. Productivity, however, has declined to tonnes per hectare from tonnes per hectare because of the various reasons including the rain pattern, he said. Since the area has increased, the production has been compensated. However, farmers are at a loss and consumers are gainers, he said. The crop sown in July-August has come up for harvesting in September and with arrivals increasing in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, prices have fallen in almost all markets, he said. Tomato prices have reduced in other states as well in the North. Market observers say fall in tomato prices is a normal occurrence during the monsoon months, from June to September. Centre lifts ban on export of pulses, says move to help farmers get remunerative prices The government has recently lifted the ban on export of tur, urad and moong dal to help farmers get remunerative prices. However, exports of these varieties of pulses can be undertaken after taking permission from agri export promotion body Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA). At present, only organic pulses and kabuli chana are allowed to be shipped in a limited quantity. In a late evening notification, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said it has removed prohibition on export of tur, urad and moong dal till further orders. The ban on these varieties has been lifted with immediate effect. Opening of the export of pulses will help the farmers to get remunerative prices and encourage them to expand sowing area in coming season, it said. Exports should be made through customs electronic data interchange (EDI) ports, the notification said. Exports through Bangladesh and Nepal border will be allowed subject to registration of quantity with the DGFT, it said. Removal of export restrictions on urad, tur and moong by the government is a welcome step that has the potential of benefiting the entire value chain beginning with farmer. It will correct price distortions, offer support to pulses selling below MSP and revitalise the milling industry, Pravin Dongre, Chairman, India Pulses and Grains Association, said. This step will improve the returns to farmers and potentially open up greater investments in the sector, he added. Retail prices of tur dal is ruling at Rs per kg in Delhi as against Rs per kg a year ago. The country s pulses production has touched a record of 22.4 million ton in crop year (July-June) as against million ton in the previous year on account of encouragement from the government. 47 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

48 INTERNATIONAL NEWS Asia s beverage market expected to experience unprecedented growth by 2021 By 2021, Asia is predicted to contribute two-thirds of global incremental beverage consumption, with China alone responsible for onethird of the additional volume, according to Canadean s most recent Global Beverage Forecasts report. Alongside with China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam are among the key growing markets and are predicted to be the top ten increment volume providers by Packaged water and bulk or home and office delivery (HOD) water, will be the primary driver of incremental volume growth across all these markets, reflecting a growing global health trend but also the opportunities offered by the lack of good quality tap water in emerging markets. Latin America is expected to achieve the second highest incremental volume growth behind Asia, with Brazil being a key contributor to the region increase. There is also a growing important of emerging markets the Middle East and North Africa. Their incremental volume increase is anticipated to be three times that of North America, propelled by a burgeoning population growth and demand for soft drinks. Canadean anticipates that only three developed markets the US, Japan and Germany will feature in the ranking for the top ten highest volume markets. EU and FAO join forces to take action on food waste and antimicrobial resistance Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Vytenis Andriukaitis and the Director-General of Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) José Graziano da Silva, today agreed to ramp up collaboration between the two organisations in tackling the problems of waste in food supply chains and antimicrobial resistance. In a letter of intent signed recently, the FAO and the EU pledge to work closely together to halve per capita food waste by 2030, a goal established under the new Sustainable Development Goals global agenda. It also commits them to intensified cooperation on tackling the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on farms and in food systems. Noting that food loss and waste is linked to many aspects of sustainable development, Graziano da Silva cited the importance of strong partnerships like that between the FAO and the EU in addressing the problem. Globally, one-third of all food produce for human consumption 1.3 billion tonnes - is lost or wasted, each year, causing massive financial losses while squandering natural resources. In Europe alone, around 88 million tonnes of food are wasted each year, with associated costs estimated at 143 billion, according to EU estimates. Meanwhile, the increased use - and abuse - of antimicrobial medicines in both human and animal healthcare has contributed to an increase in the number of disease-causing microbes that are resistant to antimicrobial medicines used to treat them, like antibiotics. This makes AMR a growing threat that could lead to as many as 10 million deaths a year and over 85 million in losses to the global economy by 2050, according to some studies. And in addition to public health risks, AMR has implications for food safety as walls as the economic wellbeing of millions of farming households across the globe. FAO is leading an international effort to improve global measurement of food loss and waste, including the publication of an Annual Global Food Loss Index; the European Commission is also working to develop a methodology for measuring food waste as part of its Action Plan for the Circular Economy. FAO is already an active member of the EU s Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste. In June, the EU Commission adopted a new EU Action Plan on AMR, underpinned by a One Health Approach and fully in line with the WHO Global Action Plan on AMR and the FAO Action Plan on AMR , which focuses specifically tackling the problem within food chains. France steps up organic production as demand grows French farmers and food processors are increasing their investment in organic production in response to growing demand for bio products, according to the latest figures. Data from French industry body Agency Bio revealed that, as of 30 June, 51,490 French farmers and businesses operate in the organic sector. Of these 35,231 are organic producers and 16,259 are downstream companies. This participation rate represents an increase of 9.3% in just six months, Agence Bio noted. In France, 6.5% of the country s total agricultural land is used for organic production. And increasing numbers of French farmers are adopting organic agricultural practices. Nineteen new organic farms (were certified) every day for the first six months of 2017, Agence Bio noted. French consumption of organic products is also largely localised, with 71% of organic products consumed in France produced in the country. Excluding exotic products this figure rises to 81%. Country of origin consumption is an important issue in the French food sector and the country was the first to adopt madatory country of origin labels in certain sectorssuch as meat and dairy. The controversial move has been followed by other European countries, such as Italy and Greece, but its detractors argue that COOL undermine the EU single market. Of the organic products that are imported to France, most are in the ambient grocery category and consist of items such as oils, spices, chocolate and sugar. The European Union accounts for more than half of imports and threequarters of French organic exports are destined for member countries. The French food sector is stepping up its organic production in response to growing consumer demand for organic products, the organisation observed. 48 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

49 R & D UPDATES Genetically modified wheat variety used to make celiac-friendly bread Wheat strains that do not produce the gluten forms that trigger a dangerous immune reaction could be used to replace regular wheat in baked goods, according to a study. The new strains are treated to remove around 90% of proteins called gliadins, thought to be the main culprit behind the symptoms seen in celiac disease. According to the researchers, the new strains, which still contain a small quantity of gluten, can still be used to bake bread amongst other products. Bread from the genetically modified (GM) wheat can be suitable for those who simply want to reduce the intake of gluten, said Dr Jan Chojecki, managing director of PBL Ventures, the business start-up and mentoring arm of Plant Bioscience Limited (PBL). In the lines, the levels of the immunoactive toxic gluten is reduced up to 95%, and sensory tests showed comparable properties of normal bread, and much better than, for example, rice bread. Dr Chojecki added that in terms of physical baking properties, the wheat would not be suitable for large volume bread loaves. For pasta though, which is traditionally made from Triticum durum wheat, there would be no technical obstacle to applying the approach to pasta wheat. The use of genetically modified wheat, especially targeting gluten reduction or elimination has made headlines with news that German company GoodMills Innovation has recently developed a wheat based on ancient grains. These grains, called 2ab Wheat, are the first to be grown and processed specifically for its improved digestibility, suitable for those who are gluten sensitive. Led by Dr. Franco Barro, the team from the Institute for Sustainable Agriculture in Spain, began using a genomic modification technique called CRISPR/Cas to remove the genes that code for the gliadin protein. This task is made all the more difficult as there are no less than 45 copies of the gene for the main problematic gliadin protein. However, efforts from Dr Barro s team resulted in a knock out rate of 35 of the 45 genes. Up to 35 different genes were mutated in one of the lines of the 45 different genes identified in the wild type, while immunoreactivity was reduced by 85%, the study said. Transgene-free lines were identified, and no off-target mutations have been detected in any of the potential targets. In total 21 mutant wheat lines were generated, all showing strong reduction in gliadin content. Dr Chojecki added that along with actual baking properties, the taste and sensory properties of the products produced from this wheat improved on that currently available on gluten-free shelves. He added that the considerable interest he had received from the food industry would need to take into account the GM aspect that formed one part of the complex developmental challenge. Vegan hard-boiled egg developed Students at the University of Udine in Italy have developed a product with the appearance and characteristics of a hard-boiled hen egg that is made entirely from plant-based ingredients. The vegan egg comes in the form of a ready-to-eat product. It is made from a combination of flours from various legumes, vegetable oils, a gelling agent and a vegan salt. Developed by four students working on their masters degrees in food science and technology- it is the hundredth patent registered by the University, Udine noted in a statement. The development followed a yearand-a-half of research in the laboratories of the department of agrofood, environment and animal science at Udine. According to the students, they had to overcome a number of challenges to produce the final product, including technological issues and ingredient choice. The egg is cholesterol-free and gluten-free and would, therefore, be suitable for people who suffer hypercholesterolemia or coeliac disease, as well as consumers who want to reduce or exclude animalderived products from their diets. It can also be manufactured from organic ingredients, the students suggested. The University plans to present the product to companies who may be interested in acquiring the patentprotected process in the coming weeks. According to forecasts from research firm Allied Market Research, the global meat substitutes market is expected to grow by around 8.4% through to Europe is the largest market for meat substitute accounting for 39% of global sales. Globally, European food makers are leading the way in terms of meatfree innovation. Data from Mintel shows that seven out of the top ten markets for alternative protein product launches are European. In the three years ending June 2017, Germany led global innovation in meat substitutes, followed by France, Sweden, Italy and the UK. However, Germany s share of innovation declined in the year ending June 2017 as innovation intensified in Sweden and Italy, Mintel analyst Patty Johnson revealed. In Italy, Johnson said the uptick in NPD activity is a result of massive increases in consumers who claim to be working to reduce their meat consumption. Around half of Italian consumers say they are lowering their red meat intake, while 24% say they are increasing the amount of vegetarian processed foods in their diet, she noted. Meanwhile, in Sweden, the demand driver is retail-based, Johnson continued. In 2016, two of Sweden s largest supermarket retailers, Coop and ICA, launched campaigns aimed at increasing consumer awareness around the environmental impact of eating meat, while also promoting the uptake of meat alternatives as healthier and more humane, she explained. 49 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

50 R & D UPDATES Nanofiltration helps recover blueberry polyphenols from residues The use of nanofiltration membranes enable the recovery of substantial amounts of phenolic compounds in waste residues from processed blueberries, according to a recent study in Food and Bioproducts Processing. Blueberry skins are normally considered as a residual waste product (known as blueberry pomace), after processing has removed the juice. However, the skins of blueberry fruits contain the highest concentration of anthocyanins, a class of polyphenols, by weight. The use of nanofiltration membranes, by researchers at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville enabled recovery of between 73% and 99% of these anthocyanins. The use of crossflow filtration mode also minimised membrane fouling during the process. The present investigation clearly demonstrated that the nanofiltration technology of membrane based separation can be suitably used for the efficient recovery of total polyphenols (anthocyanins, flavonols and chlorogenic acid) from the blueberry pomace in the class flow mode of filtration, wrote first author, Dr. Alexandru Avrama. Although this initial study was of pilot-plant scale, the establishment of a larger facility could potentially transform the pomace, previously considered as a waste product, into a commercially valuable source of anthocyanins. Swiss scientists create novel process for foams that last essentially forever Ever-lasting foam in ice cream or beer without artificial stabilisers? Swiss researchers have for the first time developed a novel strategy to make foam bubbles last essentially forever. From a sensory point of view, bubbles are important. From a light frothy foam in beer to a light, creamy ice cream that melts in the mouth for a fluffy dough, it is the structure of the bubbles that creates the texture. From a food technologist s point of view, however, they are inherently unstable: sinking, merging, popping and changing the structure of the food matrix. A team of Swiss researchers backed by Nestlé Research Centre, have developed a method for determining bubble strength and structure that could lead to big savings on stabilisers - or being able to swap artificial stabilisers for natural ones - and longer-lasting foams. Ostwald ripening, named after the German chemist and 1909 Nobel prize winner, is when large bubbles become larger while smaller ones shrink and then disappear - extremely difficult to stop or even slow down. Once the bubble ripening beings, it compromises the long-term stability of the foam and surface-active components, such as protein in beer foam, only slow this process down in the short term. Compared to surfactant-stabilised system we gain orders of magnitude or even make the foam last essentially forever. It could be made such that it would just remain stable and not coalesce or ripen. If there is no mechanical force exerted, it would just stay there. Post-doctoral researcher in the team, Peter Beltramo, said the findings would help industry save a lot of materials and thus reduce costs. However, Nestlé s interest in the project was less about cutting costs than cleaning up the labels, particularly for its ice cream portfolio, which sparked the study. The Swiss company is currently rolling out a clean label initiative, dubbed Kitchen Cupboard, which replaces artificial ingredients with ingredients consumers can understand and feel good about when reading the back-fo-pack list. This means simple spices, vegetables, herbs, salt, oils, flours, starches and natural flavours, or ingredients created through basic culinary processes such as fermentation and roasting. Prebiotic nanofibre matrix aids probiotic survival in functional beverages A prebiotic nanofibre matrix that protects beneficial bacteria in the low ph environment of fruit juices could prove an effective encapsulation agent for the probiotic delivery in functional beverages. The material-composed of 50% pectin, 25% nanochitin and 25% nanolignocellulose-provided protection for the probiotic Bacillus coagulans cells when mixed with peach juice at a ph of 3.6 over 5- week storage period of both 4 C and 25 C, according to Polish scientists. The findings could well be of interest to the probiotic food industry, which has seen interest in probiotic-containing fruit juices, soya-based and confectionary products, fuel a global market worth 147,6bn ($176.7bn) in Despite their popularity, the low ph environment of some fruit juices continues to be a challenge for beverage manufacturers, who have turned to microencapsulation in order to maintain a sufficient number of viable probiotics in the product. Among the used for this process, pectin is preferred due to its nontoxic, biocompatible and inexpensive properties. In addition, chitin as a biocompatible and nontoxic polymer aids delivery system in passing through the gastrointestinal tract. Cellulose as a renewable biopolymer and the most abundant renewable resource has demonstrated probiotic protection against harsh gastrointestinal conditions by its inclusion. In a collaboration between Iran s Tarbiat Modares University and National Elites Foundation of Iran, the team began by using a mixture design method to blend pectinbased bionanocomposites with various compositions of nanochitin, nanolignocellulose and bacterial nanocellulose. 50 BEVERAGE & FOOD WORLD - Vol No OCTOBER 2017

The new technology does not only alter the texture of confectionery. It also opens up new opportunities for flavors and ingredients that, until now, were unheard of for chewing gum fruit juice, coffee, milk, caramel, chocolate, coconut and plant extracts. Now, a multitude of water based, fat-containing and natural ingredients are available for use in chewing gum. The secret behind this confectionery innovation is the production process Candy2Gum products are simply boiled. Conventional chewing gum, on the other hand, is made in a dry kneading process. Waterbased and fatcontaining ingredients, such as fruit juice and cocoa, are exactly what the traditional kneading process cannot handle. Not so with Candy2Gum. Because the production process is similar to making chewy candy, standard sugarconfectionery cookers can be used. Wacker offers a suitable premix for this: Capiva C03. The premix is just added to the candy mass and a simple piece of chewy candy becomes an innovative Candy2Gum product. Wacker 3D Printing Process to use Gum With Candy2Gum technology, it is now possible to produce confectionery goods that begin like a piece of chewy candy and turn into gum as they are being chewed. On top of this, they feature completely new flavors and ingredients. Capiva C03., is insoluble in water, but it melts fully, which means it can be blended homogeneously. The fact that Wacker s premix is ideal for use in both sugary and sugar-free candy mixtures opens up numerous opportunities for novel confectionery products. Wacker is presenting the world s first 3D printing process to use chewing gum. Wacker s experts have developed a novel product formulation specifically for printable gum and have optimized the software and hardware for this sophisticated food matrix. As a result, chewing gum can be formed in many shapes, not just as sticks, balls and pellets.

The filling and packaging specialist is demonstrating the new high-performance technology on a linear machine. KHS FormFill promises great savings potential regarding the system size, use of resources and further process execution. It also provides benefits with respect to the individualization of plastic packaging. The machine is to be ready for market by 2019 at the latest. As in the conventional processing of plastic containers the machine heats up the preforms according to the required temperature profile. The KHS FormFill KHS FormFill yields enormous savings potential and not just in line operation: by doing away with an entire function module and with the smaller diameter of the rotary machine the total amount of space required is reduced. In the current test environment of 40,000 bottles per hour the new procedure only needs about 25% of the installation space of standard stretch blow molder/ filler blocks when filling beverages. In line operation users will see a boost in efficiency with regard to time, energy and maintenance especially. As the conventional stretch blow molding process is no longer required, KHS FormFill fills PET containers more quickly. Forming and filling takes about the same time as the formerly separate stretch blow molding process. Saving on the high-pressure air compressor alone results in a considerable drop in energy consumption. Maintenance costs are cut by the use of fewer components and format parts. The new machine can be integrated into existing packaging processes.
