Detection of pulmonary amylase activity in exhaled breath condensate

open access: yes, 2013
Amylase activity in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is usually interpreted as an indication of oropharyngeal contamination despite the fact that amylase can be found in pulmonary excretions.

In vitro and in sacco determination of neutral detergent fibre digestibility of treated cereal straw

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cereal straw is hardly digestible due to its complex bonds of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. That is why chemical treatments, such as with sodium hydroxide, may help to loosen the bonds and thus increase ruminal digestibility. Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility is a good predictor of feed intake.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Advantages of low‐glycaemic‐index carbohydrates in regulating glycaemic response of energy bar: A review

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Energy bars are widely consumed functional foods among athletes and physically active consumers who require convenient sources of sustained energy. Their carbohydrate composition, particularly the type and ratio of digestible sugars such as glucose, fructose and sucrose, strongly influences glycaemic index (GI), postprandial blood glucose ...

Sourdough fermentation as a modulator of nutritional quality in cereal‐based baked products

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Sourdough fermentation, an ancient food bioprocessing technology, has attracted renewed attention for its positive impact on the nutritional profile and sensory attributes of leavened baked products. This process relies on the symbiotic activity between lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, which leads to acidification, proteolysis, enzyme ...

Phytochemical composition and cultivar‐dependent variation in colored lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and their α‐amylase inhibitory activity

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated cultivar‐dependent variation in the phytochemical composition of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) profiling and high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quantification, with a focus on enzyme inhibitory activity. RESULTS Significant differences were

Intensive longitudinal modelling predicts diurnal activity of salivary alpha-amylase

open access: yes, 2019
Salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) activity has been widely used in psychological and medical research as a surrogate marker of sympathetic nervous system activation, though its utility remains controversial.
