Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Development of a Triticale‐Based Amylolytic Biocatalyst for Starch Hydrolysis With Applications in Brewing Wort Sugar Enhancement

Food Bioengineering, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 305-317, September 2025.
Co‐immobilization of α‐amylase and β‐amylase from triticale malt in cross‐linked gelatin improved kinetic parameters and achieved over 100% immobilization efficiency. The triticale malt‐based α‐amylase and β‐amylase biocatalyst enhanced reducing sugar release in barley wort by 11.8 g/L in the first cycle and retained 5.8 g/L after five reuse cycles ...
