Highlights
- Retort pressure significantly influenced the seal strength of flexible packaging after thermal sterilization.
- Overpressure retort processing maintained package integrity and thereby prevented leakage during sterilization.
- Sterilization modified the texture, color, and proximate composition of Rembiga satay.
- Optimized retort processing facilitates commercial sterilization of Rembiga satay in flexible packaging.

Highlights
- Drying chili with sunlight leads to a loss in quality and a risk to microorganism contamination.
- The integration of UVC with sunlight drying has potential for microbial safety and aflatoxin detoxification.
- The application of UVC before sunlight drying is recommended for the chili drying process.

Highlights
- A bilayer antimicrobial surface was developed by applying a tetracycline-loaded acrylate coating onto plasma-treated SSPS/nanoclay film.
- Sustained tetracycline release achieved complete elimination of staphylococcus aureus after 24 h in time-kill assays.
- Nanoclay addition (up to 10 wt %) significantly enhanced storage modulus and glass transition temperature of the nanocomposite.
- Successful bilayer formation was confirmed through SEM, FT-IR, and XRD analyses without phase separation.

Highlights
- Low-temperature fermentation maintained LAB viability above probiotic threshold throughout 72-hour incubation.
- Kefir fermented at 10 °C showed reduced acidification and improved sensory characteristics.
- The 50% grain concentration resulted in the lowest pH and highest LAB growth.
- The Gaussian kinetic model best represented the LAB growth curve during low-temperature fermentation.
- Controlled fermentation offers potential for enhancing the safety and probiotic quality of milk kefir.

Highlights
- Ginger root fiber reduced pasta moisture content significantly over storage.
- Elevated ginger root fiber levels increased post-cooking acidity and solid residuals.
- Ginger root fiber fortification markedly suppressed mold and yeast proliferation.
- Lower ginger root fiber (2.5–5%) preserved optimal sensory and colorimetric attributes.
- Higher ginger root fiber concentrations compromised taste and texture acceptability.
