Modifications of nutritional properties (amino acids, available lysine, protein digestibility, fatty fiber, inositol phosphate (IPs), free and bound phenolics, antioxidant properties) whole rice ingredients processed by soaking, germination, and/or extrusion cooking were evaluated. Soaking germination reduced proteins lixiviation hydrolysis, respectively. Lysine was the limiting amino acid. Polyunsaturated acids increased after germination. Protein digestibility 100% for germinated rice,...

Phytophthora is a long-established, well known and globally important genus of plant pathogens. Phylogenetic evidence has shown that the biologically distinct, obligate biotrophic downy mildews evolved from at least twice. Since, cladistically, this renders ‘paraphyletic’, it been proposed evolutionary clades be split into multiple genera (Runge et al. 2011; Crous 2021; Thines 2023; 2024). In letter, we review arguments for retention generic name with broad circumscription made by Brasier...

A combination of soaking and extrusion processes whole rice grain was studied. The effects temperature (35–55 °C) time (24–48 h) treatment on phytic acid (PA), protein ashes losses using a factorial design were evaluated. Taking into account ash, PA losses, soaked 24 h at 45 °C extruded Brabender single screw extruder. Effects (160–190 moisture content (14–19 g/100 g) product characteristics evaluated surface response methodology. Values corresponding to the different responses were:...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence diets with different types fibres on Ca bioavailability and metabolic parameters in growing Wistar rats. Twenty four male rats were fed 3 diets: control (C), polydextrose (PD), extruded whole maize (M) during a 60 day period. Apparent absorption percentage (%Ca Abs), total skeleton bone mineral content (t BMC), density BMD), femur (F), spine (S) tibia (T) BMD, cecum weight, pH evaluated.

Abstract In this work, two analytical methods based on liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (LC/ESI‐TOFMS) and tandem (LC/ESI‐MS/MS) are described for the identification, confirmation quantitation of three insecticides non‐authorized in European Union (nitenpyram, isocarbophos isofenphos‐methyl) but detected recent monitoring programmes pepper samples. The proposed methodologies involved a sample extraction procedure using liquid‐liquid partition...
