Amaranthus caudatus L. (Amaranthaceae), commonly known as kiwicha, is considered one of the few multipurpose pseudocereal crops which supply higher nutritional seeds in huge quantities. A. rich source proteins, β-carotene, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Amaranth starch promising use by its high solubility digestibility, compared to wheat, rice, oat, amaranths are gluten-free contain 30% more protein with complete set amino acid, offering new possibilities for food processing,...
Hemp (<italic>Cannabis sativa</italic> L.) seeds are well known for their potential use as a source of nutrients, fiber, and bioactive compounds.
Vegetarian foods are plant-based (PB) foods, often perceived as healthier than animal-based (AB) foods. The objective of this study was to analyze the nutritional quality a set PB (meat, milk and dairy products) marketed in Spain, compare their nutrient profiles with respect some AB counterparts. Nutritional information per 100 g or mL, ingredients, declarations, well Nutri-Score, NOVA, Eco-Score each food were collected from Open Food Facts. Differences compositions between counterparts,...
Hemp seeds have a wide variety of chemical compounds which present biological activity. Specifically, the focus on proteins and bioactive peptides are increasing as alternative sources nutraceutical uses. In literature, hemp protein products (HPPs) reported antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to determine inflammation-related modulatory effects HPPs lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated primary human monocytes. CD14+ cells were immunomagnetically isolated from buffy coats...
Twelve high-quality chia protein hydrolysates (CPHs) were produced from isolate (CPI) in a pilot plant of vegetable proteins. To obtain functional hydrolysate, four CPHs hydrolyzed by the action Alcalase, an endoprotease, and other eight Flavourzyme, exoprotease. Alcalase-obtained showed significant antihypertensive properties particularly, CPH obtained after 15 min hydrolysis with Alcalase (CPH15A), which 36.2% degree. In addition, CPH15A increased antioxidant capacity compared to CPI. The...
Chickpeas are a nutrient-rich source with optimal and high essential amino acid score. To evaluate its potential as functional food ingredient, 36 chickpea protein hydrolysates were produced at the lab-scale using food-grade enzymes. Parameters including yields, content, hydrolysis degree, antioxidant activities employed to identify most favourable conditions for scaling up production pilot plant level principal component analysis. The selected hydrolysate demonstrated commendable traits:...
Bioactive protein hydrolysates have been identified in several sources as possible agents the prevention and treatment of many diseases. A wheat gluten (WG) concentrate was hydrolyzed by Alcalase under specific conditions. The resulting were evaluated vitro cell-free experiments leading to identification one bioactive WG hydrolysate (WGPH), which used at 50 100 μg/mL on primary human monocytes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) nitrite levels RT-qPCR ELISA techniques analyze functional activity...
In this research, scallops (Argopecten purpuratus) visceral meal (SVM) and defatted (SVMD) were analysed for their proximal composition, protein solubility, amino acid profile. Hydrolysed proteins isolated from the scallop's viscera (SPH) optimised characterised using response surface methodology with a Box-Behnken design. The effects of three independent variables examined: temperature (30-70 °C), time (40-80 min), enzyme concentration (0.1-0.5 AU/g protein) on degree hydrolysis (DH %) as...
Dietary fatty acids have been demonstrated to modulate systemic inflammation and induce the postprandial inflammatory response of circulating immune cells. We hypothesized that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) may acute effects on immunometabolic homeostasis by modulating dendritic cells (DCs), sentinels immunity link innate adaptive systems. In healthy volunteers, saturated acid (SFA)-enriched meal raised serum levels granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor GM-CSF (SFAs >...
Vitamin D (VD), a crucial micronutrient, regulates bone health and immune responses. Recent studies suggest that VD may confer protective effects against chronic inflammatory diseases. Additionally, plant-based peptides can show biological activities. Furthermore, the supplementation of protein hydrolysates with could potentially enhance bioactivity peptides, leading to synergistic effects. In this study, THP-1 cells were exposed low concentrations Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induce...
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin with multiple functions, including the modulation of immune response, amongst others. Earlier studies have demonstrated that active form D, 1,25-dihydroxivitamin inhibits LPS-induced IL-6 and TNF-α production by human monocytes in dose-dependent manner. On other hand, some vitro support this has modulatory effects on viral infections. However, it remains unclear whether regulates response infectious diseases triggered viruses such as severe acute...
Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) are the third most important grain legume in world terms of their area coverage, volume production and amount trade. The crop is primarily grown India, being USA, Argentina Mexico main producers chickpea American continent. It can be considered as a cheap, sustainable, healthy source nutrients with high content proteins. In addition, hydrolysis proteins (CPH) release bioactive peptides immunomodulatory properties. Hence, vitro study CPH monocytic cell line...
