After storing the sample for 9 weeks and conducting assessments of physical quality (including hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, viscosity, lightness, yellowness, redness, and browning index), chemical quality (including pH), and microbial quantity, it was observed that the sample’s hardness significantly decreased after being stored for 4 weeks, while adhesiveness displayed an increasing trend, though this effect was not statistically significant.
The average concentrations of the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs (0.78 ± 0.55 pg TEQ/g fat) and six non-dioxin-like PCBs (6.55 ± 2.24 ng/g fat) were largely below the maximum, and action limits established at European level, confirming a decreasing trend observed both locally and across Europe in recent years.
Regarding the texture, it was observed that all Barhi date samples exhibited a decreasing trend in texture scores with the progression of storage time, but control exhibited the greatest decrease (6.19 after three weeks of storage), and PPE-treated samples showed the least (7.06 after six weeks of storage).
Table 2 shows that the DO of millet starch in different fermentation periods undergoes a large change, while the DD value shows a decreasing trend, indicating that the short-range ordered structure of fermented millet starch has undergone a complex change, which could be attributed to the change in the morphological structure, as observed with SEM and CLSM.
