Nutraceutical Interventions in Stunting: Advances, Challenges, and Prospects

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Schematic representation of nutraceutical mechanisms in the management of stunting, illustrating an integrative pathway from pathological etiology to therapeutic outcome. (Left) Chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections contribute to gut dysbiosis and environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), leading to systemic inflammation and growth faltering ...

Selenium biofortification: A sustainable strategy to improve crop quality and human nutrition

Journal of Trace Elements and Minerals
For the best health of humans, animals, and plants, trace elements like selenium (Se) must be present in trace amounts. Due to poor availability of this element in soils, which reduces its concentration in crops, Se insufficiency affects vast populations

Soil-type influences human selenium status and underlies widespread selenium deficiency risks in Malawi [PDF]

, 2013
Selenium (Se) is an essential human micronutrient with critical roles in immune functioning and antioxidant defence. Estimates of dietary Se intakes and status are scarce for Africa although crop surveys indicate deficiency is probably widespread in ...

Esterification enhances carotenoid retention during bread‐making

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4312-4319, May 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Carotenoids are plant‐derived antioxidants that contribute to human health and represent key quality traits in wheat‐based foods. However, they are highly unstable and prone to degradation during processing. Xanthophyll esterification has been identified as a natural mechanism that enhances carotenoid stability during grain storage.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculation increases the bioavailability of zinc and iron in wheat grain

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 924-936, May 2026.
Bread wheat is an important crop that supplies calories and nutrients to the global population. Enhancing the concentrations and bioavailability of essential micronutrients in wheat is crucial for human nutrition, and we investigated whether arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can contribute to the biofortification of wheat.

Portable X‐Ray Fluorescence in the Assessment of Zinc Along Grizzly Bear Hair

X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 473-482, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT As a biomarker of past uptake of zinc, hair presents an interesting option since its growth can provide a stored record over time. This study investigates the distribution of zinc in hairs gathered from a series of grizzly bears ( Ursus arctos horribilis ).

X‐ray Fluorescence Microscopy Computed Tomography Reveals Internal Distribution of Selenium in Hyperaccumulator Plant Seeds

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Selenium hyperaccumulators are plants able to accumulate over 1000 mg/kg in their shoots while growing in their natural environments. The distribution of selenium in the seeds of the three key hyperaccumulating species was elucidated using X‐ray fluorescence microscopy computed tomography (XFM‐CT). ABSTRACT Selenium hyperaccumulators are plants able to
