Palm oil (PO), leaf lard oil (LO), rapeseed oil (RO), sunflower oil (SO), and linseed oil (LINO) are the five of the most typical dietary lipids, while few studies have explored and compared their influences on the serum lipid profiles, colonic short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) composition and colon health of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. Results from the present work showed that PO and LO groups showed significantly higher serum TG and TC level compared with Ctrl group, whereas, the LDL-C/HDL-C and TC/HDL-C ratio were significantly lower in the RO, SO and LINO groups. Different dietary lipid consumption (15% of the normal diet) decreased the colonic SCFAs concentration. The saturated fatty acid (SFA) was negatively correlated, while unsaturated fatty acid (UFA)/SFA ratio was positively correlated, with colonic isobutyric acid concentration. The C182ω6 and ω3 fatty acids were positively correlated with colonic butyric acid and isovaleric acid concentration, respectively. Results also demonstrated that PO and LO could decrease the colon villus length and crypt depth, and led to colon injury, which might be due to their high SFAs content. Moreover, results suggested that PO and LO could specifically up-regulate the colon inflammation related gene expression levels and down-regulate the Muc2 expression levels, thus, imposing negative impact on the mucus layers. The present study could provide some information for nutritional evaluation about these dietary lipids. Oleogels intended as fat substitutes were prepared by oil dispersion of aerogel particles obtained through freeze-drying (FD) or supercritical-CO2-drying (SCD) of whey protein isolate (WPI) hydrogels (20 g/100 g). SEM revealed that freeze-dried particles presented larger dimensions than supercritical-dried ones. The latter also showed higher oil dispersibility, forming aggregates with lower dimension (300 nm) than those formed by freeze-dried particles (700 nm). Both particles presented oil structuring capability. Freeze-dried particles gave a weak oleogel, while supercritical-dried ones gave a strong (G' = 3.1 × 105 Pa) and plastic (critical stress = 723.2 Pa) oleogel, with rheological features comparable to those of traditional fats. These results can be explained based on the lower aggregation induced by SCD and on the higher capacity of supercritical-dried particles to form a network in oil through hydrophilic interactions, as suggested by FTIR. Therefore, WPI aerogel particles show the potentiality to be used as food ingredients to prepare oleogels with tailor-made physical properties. Consumers' product experiences are increasingly uncovered using approaches that extend beyond acceptability and sensory perception. The present research is situated in this context and adopts a multi-response approach to jointly obtain attitudinal, conceptual, emotional, situational and/or sensorial evaluations. With the aim of greater methodological understanding, three case studies were conducted with samples in three product categories (fruit- and vegetable-based beverages (n = 10), seafood (n = 6) and chocolate (n = 7)) using consumers from New Zealand (n = 196), India (living in New Zealand) (n = 138) and China (n = 167), conducted in central location (CLT) or home-use test (HUT) settings. Showcasing this multi-response approach and demonstrating its versatility in product research is the main contribution of the research. Across the three case studies different combinations of response types and scaling formats were successfully used (including CATA (check-all-that-apply) questions, yes/no questions and rating scales), and it was also found that tasted foods and written stimuli (food names) served equally well as stimuli. The degree of liking or disliking for individual samples was a useful benchmark against which to interpret the other types of responses, and situational appropriateness, obtained as item-by-use (IBU) responses always contributed unique insights. SCH58261 Facial emoji to obtain product-emotion associations yielded less valuable insights than a conceptualisation task. As expected, and in accordance with the rationale for adopting a multi-response approach, the combination of response types yielded greater stimuli insights than would otherwise have been gained. This held for each of the three case studies and supported future applications using a multi-response approach that extends beyond many related initiatives by including four response types in each case study. Because of high water content, the valorisation of broccoli by-products requires dehydration that can preserve bioactive compounds. Blanching pre-treatment has been reported to improve the drying rate of broccoli. As a thermal treatment, it promotes also enzyme inactivation. Therefore, in this study, the impact of pre-dehydration blanching step, freeze-drying, air-drying at 40 °C, and microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG) dehydration on the levels of pigments, glucosinolates, and phenolics, was evaluated by UHPLC-DAD-ESI/MSn. When compared to freeze-drying, a technique known to preserve compounds, a pre-blanching step increased the extractability of both pigments and phenolics, while air-drying only retained 49% of the pigments and 70% of phenolics, both without affecting glucosinolates. However, when air-drying was preceded by blanching, less than 50% of compounds were retained. On the other hand, MHG dehydration increased the phenolics extractability by 26%, particularly that of kaempferol derivatives while also retaining the amount of the glucosinolate glucoraphanin, when compared to freeze-drying. Nevertheless, only 23% of indole glucosinolates were recovered and pigments were severely reduced, with lutein accounting only for 32% and only chlorophyll b was observed in trace amounts after MHG dehydration. Therefore, to valorise broccoli by-products as ingredients, different drying technologies may be used when targeting different composition richness freeze-drying is suitable for pigments and glucosinolates, air-drying is suitable for glucosinolates, while MHG promotes the extractability of phenolic compounds.
