Things to Do in Sunny San Diego
The historic aircraft carrier, USS Midway Museum moored in Broadway Pier in San Diego.
SHM Converge 2024 is just around the corner, taking place from April 12 to 15. While noting down the sessions you wish to attend and catching up with friends and colleagues (see our editorial board’s recommendations), remember to also enjoy the beautiful city of San Diego.
San Diego is known as the birthplace of California, as it was the first location in the western U.S. where Europeans set foot, specifically Point Loma. It’s also the birthplace of the California burrito, which includes French fries and carne asada. The city is hom...

Dietary exposure to acrylamide among the Malaysian adult population
This study aimed to estimate the Malaysian adult population's current dietary exposure and margin of exposure (MOE) to the carcinogenic processing contaminant, acrylamide. A total of 448 samples from 11 types of processed foods were collected randomly throughout Malaysia in the year 2015 and 2016. Acrylamide was analysed in samples using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10 μg/kg and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 25 μg/kg. The highest average level of acrylamide (772 ± 752 μg/kg) was found in potato crisps, followed by French fries (415 ± 914 μg/kg) and ...

Evaluation of the efficiency of thermostable l-asparaginase from B. licheniformis UDS-5 for acrylamide mitigation during preparation of French fries
AbstractA thermostablel-asparaginase was produced fromBacillus licheniformis UDS-5 (GenBank accession number, OP117154). The production conditions were optimized by the Plackett Burman method, followed by the Box Behnken method, where the enzyme production was enhanced up to fourfold. It secretedl-asparaginase optimally in the medium, pH 7, containing 0.5% (w/v) peptone, 1% (w/v) sodium chloride, 0.15% (w/v) beef extract, 0.15% (w/v) yeast extract, 3% (w/v)l-asparagine at 50 °C for 96 h. The enzyme, with a molecular weight of 85 kDa, was purified by ion exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography with bett...

Potatoes - a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023
Food Nutr Res. 2024 Jan 29;68. doi: 10.29219/fnr.v68.10454. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTPotatoes comprise a common staple food in the Nordic and Baltic countries and contribute to the diet with vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and phytochemicals. However, potatoes may also be consumed in processed forms with added fat and salt, which raises concerns about possible adverse health effects. The aim of this scoping review is to describe the overall evidence for the role of potatoes as a basis for setting and updating food-based dietary guidelines in the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023.

Sodium alginate edible coating to reduce oil absorption of French fries with maintaining overall acceptability: Based on a water replacement mechanism
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Mar 14:124042. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124042. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe effect of sodium alginate (SA) coating on the oil content and quality of fries was evaluated, and the inhibitory mechanism of SA on oil absorption was analyzed based on the water replacement theory. Compared to uncoated samples, the penetrated surface oil (PSO), structure oil (STO), and total oil (TO) contents, a*, and b* of coated fries decreased, whereas moisture content, L* and hardness increased with no significant difference revealed by sensory evaluation of all samples. The water contact angle of the films ...
