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

Journal 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 ...

Microencapsulation of bioactive compounds from peanut residues: stability study and application in yogurt

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Peanut skin, a byproduct of peanut processing, is a rich source of phenolic compounds (520.65 mgGAE (100 g)−1 d.b.) with strong antioxidant capacity, but which remains underutilized. The direct incorporation of phenolic extracts into dairy products is challenging, due to their instability during processing and storage and possible ...
