Processing‐Induced Changes in Bioactive Compounds, Physicochemical, Nutritional, and Sensory Properties of Asian Salted Noodles Fortified With Red Beetroot Flour

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Asian salted noodles (ASN) are popular in East and Southeast Asia and in parts of Europe and the Americas. However, ASN are deficient in certain nutrients (e.g., vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber) and bioactive compounds.

Impact of cold plasma pretreatment and hybrid infrared—hot air drying on bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, colorimetric attributes, and texture of red beet

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Drying is essential for food preservation, yet conventional methods often compromise product quality. This study investigated the effects of cold plasma pretreatment time (0, 15, and 30 s) and an intermittent infrared‐hot air hybrid dryer (300, 600, and 900 W; pulse ratios 1 and 2) on the functional and quality attributes of dried ...

Storage Stability and In Vitro Bioaccessibility of Liposomal Betacyanins from Red Pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus)

Molecules, 2022
In order to address the poor stability of the betacyanins from red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus, HP), which are considered as good sources of natural colorant, liposomal-encapsulation technique was applied in this study. Thin-layer dispersion method was

The effect of light supplementation on the changes in outer and inner fruit quality of different Selenicereus spp. cultivars

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Selenicereus spp., belonging to the Cactaceae family, produces pitaya, a fruit recognized for its exotic appearance and rich phytochemical composition. In regions with shorter photoperiods, flowering and fruit development are limited, making light supplementation a promising strategy.

Harnessing benzamides as plant stress inhibitors, growth promoters and in management of crop resilience—A review

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Benzamides boost crop resilience by inhibiting poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) to enhance stress tolerance and, through their antimicrobial, herbicidal, and insecticidal derivatives, they offer broad protection for sustainable crop improvement. Abstract Benzamides have emerged as potent stress inhibitors and growth promoters in plant biotechnology ...

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.
