Effects of Spice Mixtures and Konjac Glucomannan-Whey Protein Isolate Based Edible Films on the Microbiological Stability and Textural Properties of Cheese.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Some of the main factors affecting the product quality and shelf life of cheese include weight loss during storage, microbial spoilage, and structural changes in processing technology. Edible films are coating materials produced with the aim of improving quality properties and extending shelf life, and various studies have been conducted on their properties. However, research examining the effects of coatings enriched with spice-derived natural antimicrobial compounds is scarce in relation to cheese quality. In this study, edible films and spice mixtures were applied to cheese during storage, and their effects on weight loss, textural properties, and microbiological stability were investigated. Response surface methodology was used to determine the edible films and spice mixtures used in the coatings. The amounts of whey protein isolate and konjac glucomannan in the composition of edible films were found to affect water vapor permeability, elongation coefficient, and tensile strength properties; in the spice mixtures, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper were found to have antifungal effects. Based on the data obtained, it was determined that applying an edible film coating to the cheese surface reduced weight loss and improved textural properties, while applying a spice mixture coating increased microbial stability. This study demonstrates that the use of edible films supported by natural protective components could be a practically applicable, innovative, and sustainable approach to improving the properties of cheese and extending its shelf life.
