Recently, we developed a biophysical approach to characterize in vivo facial cheek skin as a function of stratum corneum (SC) depth, barrier function and during a 24‐h recovery period. The current study extends this work and characterizes the human facial cheek after barrier challenge and, for the first time, facial SC barrier recovery over a 4‐week period. Changes in the corneocyte size over the 4‐week recovery period, and correlations with changes in Trans‐Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) were monitored. This approach allows complete characterization of SC barrier function after a full biological regeneration of the SC barrier following tape stripping. The structural and compositional changes in facial cheek were investigated using Attenuated Total Reflectance‐Fourier Transform Infra Red (ATR‐FTIR) spectroscopy, tape stripping, TEWL measurements and image analysis combined with optical microscopy to characterize the SC depth profile during the tape stripping stress and over 4‐week recovery period. TEWL increased significantly from baseline after sequential tape stripping. Corneocyte size decreased with successive tape stripping. An inverse direct correlation was determined between TEWL and corneocyte surface area. After 4 weeks, the corneocyte size and TEWL for the facial cheek recovered 100% from the tape stripping procedure. The in vivo ATR‐FTIR data demonstrated that lipid and sebum components on the surface of the facial cheek SC recovered within 24 h post tape stripping, whereas protein (Amide II) and water components recovered after 1 week. 相似文献

There are indications of elevation of some inflammatory serine proteases in barrier damaged skin (e.g. plasmin and urokinase). Moreover, many other serine protease activities are present such as desquamatory enzymes as well as a newly detected tryptase‐like serine protease. However, the activities of these proteases have never been correlated with stratum corneum (SC) barrier function. The activity of extractable key serine proteases (SC trypsin‐like kallikreins, SC chymotrypsin‐like kallikreins, SC tryptase‐like serine protease, urokinase and plasmin) was measured from the outermost layers of SC obtained from facial tape strippings in clinically normal subjects. The protein content of the tape strippings was quantified by absorption measurements with the novel infrared densitometer SquameScanTM 850A and the protease activities by the use of fluorogenic peptide substrates. SC barrier function, SC hydration and skin surface pH were measured using AquaFluxTM, NOVA dermal phase meter and Skin‐pH‐Meter®, respectively. As expected, SC hydration was reduced with increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL) values indicative of barrier impairment. Surprisingly, SC chymotrypsin‐like activity showed no correlation with hydration or TEWL, whereas all other enzymes positively correlated with impaired barrier function and some were statistically significant: SC trypsin‐like kallikreins (R2 = 0.66, P < 0.01), SC tryptase‐like enzyme (R2 = 0.95, P < 0.001), plasmin (R2 = 0.86, P < 0.001) and urokinase (R2 = 0.50, P < 0.05). All enzymes except urokinase also negatively correlated with SC hydration. Elevated levels of SC serine proteases have been associated with some dermatological disorders, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and rosacea but these results indicate that these enzymes are also elevated with milder forms of barrier disruption, which is not clinically evident as irritated skin. As these proteases are elevated in the SC, they will also be elevated in the epidermis where they can be involved in neurogenic inflammation and epidermal barrier impairment via activation of the protease‐activated receptors. These results highlight the need for using serine protease inhibitors especially for urokinase and plasmin, SC tryptase‐like serine protease and possibly SC trypsin‐like kallikreins even in milder forms of barrier damage. 相似文献

Here, we examined the effect of soy peptides (SPs) on the fermentation and growth of Yeast Bank Weihenstephan 34/70 (W34/70), a bottom-fermenting yeast. We compared fermentation for SP with that for a free amino acid (FAA) mixture having the same amino acid composition as SP, as a nitrogen source. Maltose syrup was used as a carbon source, and the medium contained excess amounts of essential minerals and vitamins. We observed that SP was better than FAA mixture at promoting fermentation and growth and that much more beta-phenylethyl alcohol was produced during fermentation with SP than with FAA mixture. Subsequently, we compared fermentations with the FAA mixture and selected mixtures containing various dipeptides of Phe as a nitrogen source. We found that the rates of Phe metabolism and beta-phenylethyl alcohol generation were much higher when Phe was presented as a dipeptide (Phe-Asp, Phe-Leu, or Phe-Phe) than when presented as FAA. These results show that amino acids such as Phe are absorbed more rapidly when presented as a peptide than as FAA, resulting in a more rapid production of beta-phenylethyl alcohol. 相似文献

Structural and Functional Properties of Caseinate and Whey Protein Isolate as Affected by Temperature and pH 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The structural properties, i.e., active sulfhydryl (SH), flexibility and hydrophobicity, and functional properties, i.e., solubility, emulsion activity (EA), emulsion stability (ES), foam overrun (FO) and foam stability (FS), of commercial sodium caseinate (SC) and whey protein isolate (WPI) solutions were investigated at pH 6, 7 and 8 and at 25, 55 and 65°C. WPI contained a higher concentration of active SH and was more hydrophobic than SC. WPI provided comparable solubility and EA, lower FO, but higher FS than SC. Temperature and pH effects on the two proteins were somewhat inconsistent. 相似文献

Seasonal variation in stratum corneum (SC) biophysical and biological characteristics has been described previously. In particular, the winter season has been shown to affect more severely the properties of facial skin compared with forearm skin. Moreover, when compromised, such as in dry skin conditions, facial SC has been shown to contain increased inflammatory cytokines and proteases. Nevertheless, there have been no comparative studies of the activities and depth activity of several proteases in the SC on different body sites and at different times of the year. In this study, we examined the distribution of key serine protease activities (kallikrein 5, kallikrein 7, urokinase, plasmin and a tryptase-like enzyme) in different layers of the SC on the cheek and the forearm by analysis of consecutive tape strippings of healthy Caucasian subjects during winter and summer. The protein content of the tape strippings was quantified by absorption measurements with a recently developed and novel infrared densitometer SquameScan 850A while the SC enzyme activities were determined using fluorogenic peptide substrates. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin pH and skin hydration were higher on the cheek than on the forearm. In the same way, the activity of the inflammatory-related proteases plasmin, urokinase and tryptase was approximately five to eight times and the activity of the desquamatory-related proteases kallikrein 5 and kallikrein 7 approximately two to four times higher on the cheek than on the forearm. There were no gender-related differences in these enzyme activities except for the increased kallikrein 7 in the forearm skin of the female subjects in winter. Reduced kallikrein 5 was associated with increased SC cohesion, as judged by increased protein removal, in forearm skin in the winter months of the year although the skin was clinically normal. It can be concluded that (i) protected skin areas show lower TEWL, skin pH and skin hydration and less protease activities than skin areas that are exposed to the environment, possibly indicating subclinical inflammation on these body sites, (ii) in normal healthy forearm skin, the outer SC exhibits greater serine protease activity than its deeper layers, (iii) compared with the forearm, urokinase- and plasmin-like activities are elevated on SC strippings from the cheek, confirming activation of the plasminogen cascade, and (iv) tryptase-like activity in the SC is also elevated in samples from the cheek, possibly indicating involvement of mast cells in these barrier-compromised body sites or the synthesis of a novel tryptase-like enzyme by keratinocytes. Although elevation of the activities of urokinase, plasmin, kallikrein 5, kallikrein 7 and now a tryptase-like enzyme was observed on SC derived from skin of clinically normal cheeks, we anticipate even higher activities in skin conditions where the epidermal barrier is further impaired. 相似文献

The face is composed of complicated anatomical components, presenting unique portions, such as the eyes, nose and mouth in a relatively narrow area. Moreover, the facial skin is densely populated by the pilosebaceous units and sweat glands, and its stratum corneum (SC) is much thinner than that of the trunk and limbs, although it is always exposed to the environment. Among various portions of the facial skin, some are more easily irritated than others by environmental stimuli, or are more often affected by certain dermatoses. However, the functional aspects of the different portions of the facial skin have not been studied in detail under a strictly controlled environment in sufficiently large numbers of subjects covering different age groups. Thus, we conducted studies in winter with various biophysical techniques, such as transepidermal water loss (TEWL), as a parameter for SC barrier function, high-frequency conductance as that for skin surface hydration state, skin surface lipids, pH, blood flow and skin surface temperature on the forehead, mid-portion of the cheek (cheek in short), nasal tip (nose in short), nasolabial fold and chin of 20 healthy Japanese females aged 22-37 years (average 25 years) in a climate chamber adjusted to 21 degrees C and 50% relative humidity. Thereafter, we studied the influence of ageing on these biophysical parameters by collecting data of TEWL, high-frequency conductance and size of superficial corneocytes on the cheek, nasolabial fold and chin of 303 healthy Japanese female volunteers of different ages. The obtained results showed that the barrier function of the SC was best on the cheek, presenting the lowest TEWL, which was significantly higher on the nasolabial fold and chin than on the cheek. TEWL showed a decrease with age. In contrast, skin hydration state was higher on the nose, but it tended to be lower on the nasolabial fold, showing a mild age-related increase. The corneocytes on the nasolabial fold and chin were smaller than those on the cheek. They revealed a clear increase in size with age. Skin surface lipids were richest on the nose, whereas the superficial pH on the nose was the lowest among the regions tested. The skin temperature was lowest on the cheek than on other areas of the face; although, together with the nose, its blood flow was higher than that of the others. These data indicate great regional differences observable in SC functions on the face. In general, the SC barrier function increases with age, probably because of a decreased epidermal turnover rate as recognized by the increase in corneocyte size. Among the various sites, the skin of the nasolabial fold and chin, whose SC consisted of the smallest corneocytes, showed poorest SC properties in barrier function, suggesting the presence of mild invisible inflammation. It is understandable that this area easily develops not only the complaint of sensitive skin to cosmetics but also dermatitis because of various external agents. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Pastirma is a dry‐cured and semi‐fermented meat product, produced from whole beef or water buffalo muscles. Sixteen to twenty different types of pastirma can be produced from a carcass, and each pastirma type has a different name, shape and quality characteristics. The objective of this study was to determine the free amino acid (FAA) composition, pH and moisture values of ‘s?rt’, ‘bohca’ and ‘sekerpare’ pastirma. RESULTS: Significant differences were determined among the pastirma types in glutamic acid (P < 0.05), threonine (P < 0.05), arginine (P < 0.05), alanine (P < 0.01), methionine (P < 0.01), tryptophan (P < 0.05), proline (P < 0.01) and valine (P < 0.01). Threonine, methionine and valine were higher in s?rt pastirma than the others; glutamic acid, arginine and tryptophan were higher in sekerpare pastirma. The predominant FAA in the all pastirma samples was alanine, while the lowest was asparagine. The highest mean pH was in s?rt pastirma, and the lowest mean pH in bohca pastirma. There was no significant difference in mean moisture values among pastirma types. CONCLUSION: Significant differences were determined among pastirma types in some FAA. Analysis results indicated that quality and nutritional properties for different pastirma types are different. The most advantageous pastirma types in terms of FAA were bohca and s?rt, which contain the highest quantity of threonine, methionine and valine. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Between the two different kinds of the skin covering the body, the glabrous skin is found only on the palmo‐plantar surface because of its rather simple function to protect the underlying living tissue with its remarkably thick stratum corneum (SC) from strong external force and friction. Thus, its barrier function is extremely poor. In contrast, the hair‐bearing skin covers almost all over the body surface regardless of the presence of long hair or vellus hair. In regard to its SC, many dermatologists and skin scientists think that it is too thin to show any site‐specific differences, because the SC is just present as an efficient barrier membrane to protect our body from desiccation as well as against the invasion by external injurious agents. However, there are remarkable regional differences not only in the living skin tissue but also even in such thin SC reflecting the function of each anatomical location. These differences in the SC have been mostly disclosed with the advent of non‐invasive biophysical instruments, particularly the one that enables us to measure transepidermal water loss (TEWL), the parameter of the SC barrier function, and the one that evaluates the hydration state of the skin surface, the parameter of the water‐holding capacity of the SC that brings about softness and smoothness to the skin surface. These in vivo instrumental measurements of the SC have disclosed the presence of remarkable differences in the functional properties of the SC particularly between the face and other portions of the body. The SC of the facial skin is thinner, being composed of smaller layers of corneocytes than that of the trunk and limbs. It shows unique functional characteristics to provide hydrated skin surface but relatively poor barrier function, which is similar to that observed in retinoid‐treated skin or to that of fresh scar or keloidal scars. Moreover, there even exist unexpected, site‐dependent differences in the SC of the facial skin such as the forehead, eyelid, cheek, nose and perioral regions, although each location occupies only a small area. Between these locations, the cheek shows the lowest TEWL in contrast to the perioral region that reveals the highest one. Moreover, these features are not static but change with age particularly between children and adults and maybe also between genders. Among various facial locations, the eyelid skin is distinct from others because its SC is associated with poor skin surface lipids and a thin SC cell layer composed of large corneocytes that brings about high surface hydration state but poor barrier function, whereas the vermillion borders of the lips that are covered by an exposed part of the oral mucosa exhibit remarkably poor barrier function and low hydration state. Future studies aiming at the establishment of the functional mapping in each facial region and in other body regions will shed light on more delicate site‐dependent differences, which will provide us important information in planning the strategy to start so called tailor‐made skin care for each location of the body. 相似文献

Water homeostasis of the epidermis is important for the appearance and physical properties of the skin, as well as for water balance in the body. It depends on several factors, e.g. barrier quality, uptake of water into the epidermis, concentration of water-retaining humectants, and external humidity. Aquaporins (AQPs) are pores in the plasmamembranes of cells. Monomeric AQPs form barrel-like structures that are primarily water selective, some AQPs also transport glycerol and possibly other small solutes. In the epidermis, AQP3 is the predominant AQP. It is localized mainly in basal but also in suprabasal layers of the epidermis and is permeable for water as well as for glycerol, a humectant. Mice deficient in AQP3 exhibit reduced stratum corneum (SC) hydration and impaired SC barrier recovery after SC removal. In skin diseases associated with elevated transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and reduced SC hydration, altered expression of AQP3 was shown. Tight junctions (TJ) are cell-cell junctions, which play a central role in sealing the intercellular space of cell sheets and thereby establishing a paracellular barrier. Within the TJ, pores are postulated to exist, which allow the controlled diffusion of water and solutes via the paracellular pathway. In the epidermis, TJ structures were demonstrated in the stratum granulosum whereas TJ proteins were found in all viable layers. Mice which overexpress or are deficient of key-proteins of TJ die soon after birth because of a tremendous TEWL. In various skin diseases that are accompanied by elevated TEWL and reduced skin hydration, staining patterns of TJ proteins are altered. This review will summarize our current knowledge of the involvement of AQPs and TJ in the water homeostasis of the epidermis. 相似文献

Skin over-hydration is a common problem that affects many people who wear incontinence pads or diapers. The aim of this study is to develop a new method for stratum corneum (SC) over-hydration and SC water diffusion coefficient measurements using opto-thermal transient emission radiometry (OTTER) and evaporimetry. With OTTER, we can measure the SC surface hydration and hydration gradient. With evaporimetry, we can measure the time-dependent evaporative drying curves of water vapour flux density (WVFD). The combination of hydration results and WVFD results can yield information on the SC water diffusion coefficient and how it depends on the SC surface hydration level. The results show that SC water diffusion coefficient is non-linearly proportional to the SC surface hydration level. The results also show strong correlations between evaporative drying flux measured using the Evaporimeter and surface hydration estimated from OTTER measurements. 相似文献

Dandruff is characterized by a flaky, pruritic scalp and affects up to half the world's population post-puberty. The aetiology of dandruff is multifactorial, influenced by Malassezia, sebum production and individual susceptibility. The commensal yeast Malassezia is a strong contributory factor to dandruff formation, but the presence of Malassezia on healthy scalps indicates that Malassezia alone is not a sufficient cause. A healthy stratum corneum (SC) forms a protective barrier to prevent water loss and maintain hydration of the scalp. It also protects against external insults such as microorganisms, including Malassezia, and toxic materials. Severe or chronic barrier damage can impair proper hydration, leading to atypical epidermal proliferation, keratinocyte differentiation and SC maturation, which may underlie some dandruff symptoms. The depleted and disorganized structural lipids of the dandruff SC are consistent with the weakened barrier indicated by elevated transepidermal water loss. Further evidence of a weakened barrier in dandruff includes subclinical inflammation and higher susceptibility to topical irritants. We are proposing that disruption of the SC of the scalp may facilitate dandruff generation, in part by affecting susceptibility to metabolites from Malassezia. Treatment of dandruff with cosmetic products to directly improve SC integrity while providing effective antifungal activity may thus be beneficial. 相似文献

Dry skin is a major dermatological problem and consumer research indicates that although current moisturizers are effective they are not completely meeting consumer expectation. Several technological approaches have been taken but influencing stratum corneum (SC) lipid phase behaviour as a novel water permeability barrier‐enhancing and moisturizing mechanism has only been started to be investigated recently. Both the long periodicity SC lipid lamellar phase and the orthorhombic lipid packing state have been proposed to define optimal SC water permeability barrier properties. Several lipophillic moisturizers have been tested for their ability to modify SC lipid lateral packing namely glyceryl monoisostearate (GMIS), isopropyl isostearate (IPIS) and isostearyl isostearate (ISIS) of which IPIS and ISIS are reported to induce the orthorhombic phase. Despite the improvements in the lateral packing of SC lipids, these ingredients have been shown not to improve transepidermal water loss. However, using a novel skin surface water loss method we have observed for the first time significant improvements in SC water permeability barrier function for ISIS compared with IPIS, GMIS and petrolatum. However, using synthetic membranes and measuring water vapour transport rates we showed that the isostearyl esters were not occlusive like petrolatum. As the effects of ISIS were not because of what would be considered as true occlusion, we propose that the differences in the SC water permeability barrier properties from use of ISIS to the other ingredients tested are because of its reported effects on SC lipid phase behaviour. Further studies probably using spectroscopic approaches, however, will be needed to specifically test this hypothesis in vivo. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of total or partial substitution of dietary fish oil (FO) by flaxseed oil (FlaxO) in Jade Tiger hybrid abalone on fatty acid composition of muscle, gonad and digestive gland, and the expression of desaturase and elongase genes. Abalone were fed five different experimental diets in which FO (control diet) was serially replaced by 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% FlaxO respectively. RESULTS: Muscle, gonad and digestive gland of abalone fed the control diet and the diets containing 25%, 50% and 75% FlaxO showed significantly higher (P < 0.05) levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) compared to those fed the 100% FlaxO. The results also showed that Δ‐6 desaturase and elongase gene expression in muscle was increased in a graded manner by increasing dietary FlaxO. The expression of both genes was higher in abalone fed the FlaxO‐substituted diets compared to the abalone fed FO. CONCLUSION: The replacement of FO with FlaxO in commercial abalone diets at levels of 25–75% can improve the composition of health‐benefiting n‐3 polyunsturated fatty acids in tissues of cultured hybrid abalone, and achieve similar outcomes to FO supplementation.

BACKGROUND: Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) is a non‐caloric natural‐source alternative to artificially produced sugar substitutes. This study investigated the effect of stevia extract on lipid profiles in C57BL/6J mice. Forty mice were divided into four groups: N‐C (normal diet and distilled water), H‐C (high‐fat diet and distilled water), H‐SC (high fat diet and sucrose, 1 mL kg?1 per day), and H‐SV (high‐fat diet and stevia extract, 1 mL kg?1 per day). RESULTS: Body weight gain was significantly higher in the H‐SC group than in the H‐SV group. Triglyceride concentrations in serum and liver were lower in the H‐SV group than in the H‐SC group. Serum total cholesterol concentrations were lower in the H‐SV and H‐C groups compared to the H‐SC group. The concentrations of acid‐insoluble acylcarnitine (AIAC) in serum were higher in the H‐SV group than in the H‐C and H‐SC groups and the acyl/free carnitine level in liver was significantly higher in the H‐SV group than in the N‐C group. These results were supported by mRNA expression of enzymes related to lipid metabolism (ACO, PPARα, ACS, CPT‐I, ACC) assessed by real‐time polymerase chain reaction. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the supplementation of stevia extract might have an anti‐obesity effect on high‐fat diet induced obese mice. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

pp. 13–22 Natural moisturizing factor (NMF) is essential for appropriate stratum corneum hydration, barrier homeostasis, desquamation, and plasticity. It is formed from filaggrin proteolysis to small, hygroscopic molecules including amino acids. We hypothesized that common lipid extraction and soaking in water would alter the level of NMF in the upper stratum corneum (SC) and its biophysical properties. A novel method of measuring and quantifying the amino acid components of NMF is presented. Adhesive tapes were used to collect samples of the SC and were extracted with 6 mM perchloric acid for analysis by reverse‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).The HPLC results were standardized to the amount of protein removed by the tapes. An increase in NMF was found with increased SC depth. Also, the combination of extraction and soaking was found to increase NMF loss relative to control or to extraction or soaking alone. Our results indicate that common skin care practices significantly influence the water binding materials in the upper SC. The findings have implications for the evaluation and formulation of skin care products. 相似文献

Miniemulsion technique has been widely used to prepare cross‐linked starch microsphere for food application. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of miniemulsion and ultrasonic treatment on the morphological, physicochemical and thermal properties of banana starch. Results showed that the miniemulsion cross‐linked banana starch (MCBS) exhibited lower swelling power (SP) and solubility (S) but higher gelatinisation enthalpy (ΔHgel) than native banana starch. Ultrasonic treatment conditions (amplitude and time) did not show any significant difference in SP and ΔHgel of MCBS. Ultrasonicated MCBS showed rough surfaces and slight fragmentations without any change in particle size. At gelatinisation temperature (80 °C), the SP and S of MCBS were higher than those at 29 °C. Moreover, MCBS with ultrasonic treatment showed a lower range in the gelatinisation temperature (ΔT) than untreated. The FT‐IR spectrums revealed that MCBS were fully cross‐linked and had high extent of hydrogen bonding. 相似文献

The stratum corneum (SC) is a biosensor that mediates responses to a variety of exogenous insults through various signalling mechanisms, including the activation of SC serine proteases (SP) kallikrein cascade. The SPINK5 gene encodes an SP inhibitor, the lympho-epithelial-Kazal-type-1 inhibitor (LEKTI-1), which in turn will buffer the excess of SP cascade initiation, key in the maintenance of permeability barrier homeostasis. We demonstrate that LEKTI processing can occur within the SC after secretion from stratum granulosum keratinocytes at least partially by klk7, an SC-specific chymotryptic SP. Unlike the recently described LEKTI-2, neither recombinant full-length LEKTI-1 nor recombinant LEKTI-1 fragments exhibit antimicrobial activity. Finally, we discuss the pathophysiological implications of LEKTI-1 in skin biology as well as its contribution to the pathogenesis of Netherton Syndrome and its potential involvement in atopic dermatitis. 相似文献

The use of recombinant aminopeptidase (PepN) from Lactobacillus rhamnosus S93 in free or encapsulated form was investigated to shorten the duration of Cheddar cheese ripening. Proteolysis was determined by measuring the soluble nitrogen as phosphotungstic acid (PTA-N) derivatives and free amino acids (FAA) over a 6-month period. The experimental cheeses received higher scores for sensory properties than the control cheese. The amounts of PTA-N and total FAA in the cheese with the encapsulated enzyme after 2 months of ripening were close to those of the control cheese after 6 months, suggesting the acceleration in proteolysis by about 4 months. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Citrus fruit represent an important source of vitamin C, as well as other bioactive compounds. Edible coatings have the potential to extend shelf life of citrus by providing a semi‐permeable barrier to water and gases, which depends on coating composition, solid content (SC), and cultivar. However, little is known about the effect of coatings on citrus nutritional quality. This work studies the effect of coating composition and SC of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)–beeswax (BW)–shellac coatings on the physico‐chemical, sensory and nutritional quality of ‘Oronules’ mandarins. Coatings prepared at the same lipid content differed in the BW:shellac ratio (1:3 and 3:1) and SC of the formulations (40 and 80 g kg?1). RESULTS: The coating with 1:3 BW:shellac ratio and 80 g kg?1 SC was the most effective controlling weight loss, although it was less effective than the commercial wax tested. Increasing SC had a greater effect than the BW:shellac ratio in fruit internal atmosphere and sensory quality, with the presence of off‐flavour when coatings were applied at 80 g kg?1 SC. Nutritional quality was not affected by the application of the different treatments. CONCLUSION: HPMC–lipid coatings have the potential to extend shelf life of ‘Oronules’ mandarins. However, care should be taken controlling formulation SC to avoid the build‐up of off‐flavour. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献
