Acute ingestion of beetroot juice increases exhaled nitric oxide in healthy individuals. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in the airways' innate immune response, and the fraction of exhaled NO at a flow rate of 50mL per second (FENO50) has been utilized to capture NO. Deficits in NO are linked to loss of bronchoprotective effects in

Quality‐driven reformulation of Plantago ovata enriched non‐fermented beef salami

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plantago ovata (psyllium) is a hydrocolloid additive that is used widely in foods; however, meat applications of this bioactive ingredient are limited. This study evaluated the effects of 0% to 5% Plantago husk on non‐fermented beef salami during 60 days of storage. Proximate composition, physicochemical properties, texture profile,
