The food processing industry is growing rapidly and producing large amounts of by-products, such as pomaces, which are considered no-value waste cause significant environmental pollution. main by-products fruit juice companies apple carrot can be used to create new functional products. In the present study, effects particle size (PS) on proximate composition, nutritional properties, antioxidant activity pomace flour (APF) (CPF) were determined. Four different PS fractions, > 1 mm, 0.71 0.18...
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae strains expressing different degrees of tolerance to metal stress were used in this work study the basic mechanisms underlying heavy tolerance. We various parameters evaluate response. The strains' growth responses under Cd2+ concentrations determined and we reported variation Total soluble protein content decreased drastically, revealing toxic effects that intracellular imposes on cellular metabolism, but decrease was particularly evident sensitive...
Cereal products are staple foods highly appreciated and consumed worldwide. Nonetheless, due to the presence of gluten proteins, other co-existing compounds such as amylase-trypsin inhibitors fermentable short-chain carbohydrates in those products, their preference by consumers has substantially decreased. Gluten affects small gut people with celiac disease, triggering a inflammation condition via auto-immune response, causing cascade health disorders. Amylase-trypsin carbohydrate that...
ABSTRACT In small animal practice, patients often present with urinary lithiasis, and prediction of urolith composition is essential to determine the appropriate treatment. Through abdominal radiographs, mineral radiopaque uroliths can be determined by considering many different factors; this complex and, as such, tailor‐made for use artificial intelligence (AI). The Minnesota Urolith Center partnered Hill's Pet Nutrition develop a deep learning AI algorithm (CALCurad) within smartphone...
While food markets and production chains are experiencing exponential growth, global attention to safety is steadily increasing. This particularly crucial for ready-to-eat products such as fresh-cut salads fruits, these items consumed raw without prior heat treatment, making the presence of pathogenic microorganisms quite frequent. Moreover, many studies on foodborne illnesses associated with foods often overlook transmission links from initial contamination source. The prevention control...
The search for anticancer MMP-9 inhibitors (MMPIs) in food products has become a major goal research. MMPIs soy have been related only to saponins and isoflavones, but recently, low specific protein fractions soybeans were shown reduce activity as well. present work aimed at comparing the MMPI potential of (P) non-protein (NP) isolated from soybean seeds, before after soaking cooking, mimicking dietary exposures. Reverse substrate zymography, well fluoregenic DQ gelatin assay used evaluate...
There is a strong demand for plant-based milk substitutes, often low in protein content (<1.5% w/v). Protein-rich pulse seeds and the right processing technologies make it possible to relevant choices. The major objective of this study was assess impact on nutritional characteristics beverages with high health, particular digestibility specific bioactivities. results suggest that are as (3.24% w/v chickpea 4.05% lupin) cow's milk. anti-nutrient level pulses have been considerably reduced by...
Milk is renowned for its nutritional richness but also serves as a remarkable reservoir of bioactive compounds, particularly milk proteins and their derived peptides. Recent studies have showcased several robust antiviral activities these proteins, evidencing promising potential within zoonotic viral diseases. While publications focus on milk's bioactivities, peptides remain largely neglected in reviews. This knowledge critical identifying novel research directions analyzing nutraceuticals...
Legume proteins can be successfully used in bakery foods, like cookies, to obtain a protein-enriched product. A lupin extract (10 g/100 g) was added gluten and gluten-free flours from different sources: rice, buckwheat, oat, kamut spelt. The impact on the physical properties of dough cookies evaluated for systems. Rice buckwheat doughs were 20% firmer 40% less cohesive than others. incorporation had reduced shape parameters namely terms area thickness. texture differed over time after eight...
