Excerpts

Keeping the MT concentration at an intermediate level, the weight loss of fruit experienced an increasing trend with the increase of ethanol levels, which proved that extended ethanol concentration negatively affected the weight loss of bitter melon. 3.4.

Due to these safety concerns, there is an increasing trend among food scientists to substitute these synthetic antioxidants with natural biological active substances mainly extracted from plants and vegetables as well as food by-products (i.e., raw materials derived from the same olive tree or the olive mill by-products) [ 25 , 26 ].

In this study, a clear trend was observed showing that the cross-directional strength was higher than the longitudinal strength ( Figure 2 A).

The intake of phosphorus shows an increasing trend compared with the past.

Furthermore, the results showed a series of statistically highly significant relationships between the analyzed constituents (caffeic acid and p -coumaric acid).

In short, all showed an increasing trend with HPP up to 200–300 MPa, decreasing above a higher pressure level, and the contents varied in different storage days. 3.3.

Fructose was measured in both DFSD and PRSD at 6 and 12 h of fermentation with a decreasing trend.

One-way ANOVA tests indicated that Al, Ba, Co, Cu, Fe, Mo, Ni, and Sr were highly significant (99% confidence level) for the walnut origins.

The CSL biosurfactant showed an interesting trend because ΔE* data increased almost progressively during the skin simulated maceration process and reached the highest values at 96 and 168 h of maceration (9.32 and 11.53, respectively).

Untreated samples, as well as the samples treated with grape seed tannin and CSL biosurfactant, showed an increasing trend whereas those added with grape skin, acacia, and quebracho tannins evidenced the opposite trend, even though the differences were not always significant.

For this variable, a decreasing trend was recorded along the storage period, since, by comparison with the initial value, fruit firmness was reduced by 22% at S 14 ( Table 3 ). 3.2.

There was a decreasing trend in the total number of cattle reared for meat during the studied years.

Even if a positive trend was observed during the years 2010–2017, a sudden decrease was described in 2018, probably due to the lack of case reports from some Member States [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ].

The suggestion by the focus group that dry-aged lamb left no greasy coating is highly significant as one of the issues that consumers have with lamb meat is the coating of the mouth and throat often experienced on eating lamb due to the high melting temperatures of lamb fat [ 43 , 44 ].

As a result, there is an increasing trend to consume organic foods instead of conventional foods. 3.

Lemon balm, on the contrary, showed a positive trend at higher temperatures, as well as oregano, although for this plant the temperature did not show much difference.

1-Nonanol and 1-hexanol also sharply increased, especially in Started-BCP, and overall, an increasing trend was found during fermentation for most of the detected alcohols ( Figure 4 ).

In regard to titratable acidity (TA) and total acid content, it was clear that both attributes displayed a decreasing trend over the storage time ( Table 3 and Table S4 ).

Instead, the results reflected a slightly non-significant higher maximum foam height in A100 than in A50 and A75 ( Figure 3 ).

The absorption spectra gradually decreased during maturation and bruising, while the reduced scattering spectra showed an increasing trend.

Combined Impact of Genotype/Genotype Group, Cultivation Location and Year on Minerals Content The score plot from the principal component analyses (PCA) of genotypes, locations and years ( Figure S1 ) and genotype groups, locations and years ( Figure 1 a), indicated a co-variation of the minerals over the different samples, with positive values on the first principal component (PC1) for all the evaluated minerals, also verified by highly significant Pearson correlation coefficients between most of the minerals ( Table S2 ).

This may be significant in terms of increasing the use of traditional white grape varieties by farmers/producers since high antioxidant/phenolic concentrations were linked to disease resistance traits in plants and may facilitate the development of marketing strategies focused on “added nutritional value” to increase consumer demand [ 11 , 36 ].

Conversely, WAC values of lipophilized SCL, unlike the most reported acylated proteins, showed a decreasing trend, while the increase observed in OAC values was similar to that reported for almost all the other acylated proteins.

Quantitative Analysis The quantitative models showed a trend towards the expected polymorph.

In general, with the prolonging of UV-C treatment time, the number of DEGs enriched in various types of GO categories in ‘Xiangfei’ samples showed an overall decreasing trend, while that in ‘Zicui’ samples showed an increasing trend. 3.5.
