Effect of Fermentation on Some Minerals and Antinutrient Content of Telfaira Occidentalis and Gnetum Africanum Leaves [PDF]

, 2020
Antinutrients are natural compounds in plant foods that interfare with the absorption of nutrients, thereby reducing there theirbioavailability. Hence, the need to curb their effect in order to prevent deficiencies of micronutrients becomes paramount ...

Nutraceutical Benefits of Anchomanes difformis Rhizome and Its Effects on Blood Glucose and Hepatorenal Function in Normoglycemic Rats

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Scientific analysis of Anchomanes difformis roots confirms significant nutraceutical potential, containing high levels of carbohydrates, proteins, and essential minerals. Phytochemical screening revealed antioxidants such as phenols and flavonoids, and although the extracts effectively lowered plasma glucose, safety testing showed dose‐dependent risks.

Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic

Appraising components of genetic variation and estimation of micronutrients and antinutrient parameters in black gram (Vigna mungo L.) genotypes

Indian Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding (The)
A study was conducted to evaluate 30 black gram (Vigna mungo L.) genotypes for genetic variation in micronutrients and anti-nutritionalfactors. All the genotypes exhibited significant genetic variability for protein content (16.19–31.07%), iron (60.98–95.50 ppm), zinc(35.89–44.01 ppm), and selenium (1.12 to 19.53 ppm).
