Moringa oleifera is a plant that grows in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Its leaves are rich nutrients bioactive compounds. However, several differences reported literature. In this article we performed nutritional characterization phenolic profiling M. grown Chad, Sahrawi refugee camps, Haiti. addition, investigated presence salicylic ferulic acids, two acids with pharmacological activity, whose has been scarcely so far. Several were observed among samples. Nevertheless,...
Sustainable exploitation of agro-industrial by-products has attracted great interest in cereal bran valorization. In this research, a polyphasic approach been carried out to characterize maize at microbiological and chemical level during sourdough like fermentation process, order enhance its technological nutritional properties. Autochthonous microbiota was isolated different refreshment steps subjected identification molecular characterization. Fermentation characterized by rapid increase...
The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate based on the induction of synthesis ketone bodies (KB). Despite its widespread use, systemic impact KD not completely understood. purpose this study was to evaluate effects physiological levels KB HMEC-1 endothelial cells. To aim, DNA oxidative damage and activation Nrf2, known transcriptional factor involved in cell responses stress, were assessed. exposure cells exerted moderate genotoxic effect, measured by significant increase...
Abstract The research investigates the potential use of maize cobs (or corncobs) from five genotypes, including B73 inbred line and four locally cultivated landraces Northern Italy, as substrate for implementing Solid State fermentation processes with Medicinal Mushrooms (MMs). corncobs were characterized based on their proximate composition, lignin, phenolics content (both free bound), total antioxidant capacity. Among MMs tested, Pleurotus ostreatus Ganoderma annularis demonstrated most...
