Profiling of Dietary Fiber From Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) Seed Hulls Pertaining to Monosaccharide Composition, Structural, Thermal, and Functional Properties

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (soluble/insoluble) was recovered from pumpkin seed hulls using hydrothermal extraction. Process parameters were optimized, and a comprehensive profiling of recovered fiber fractions was performed. ABSTRACT Insoluble (IDF) and soluble dietary fiber (SDF) were recovered from pumpkin seed hulls (PSHs) using hydrothermal treatment ...

Structural, physicochemical, and techno‐functional properties of ultrasound‐treated chickpea starch

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the effects of ultrasonication duration (10, 20, 30, and 40 min) on the physicochemical, functional, structural, thermal, and rheological properties of chickpea starch. Ultrasonication significantly enhanced water absorption capacity (WAC) and oil absorption capacity (OAC), with maximum values observed for U40 (2.13 g/g

Effects of mixed microbial fermentation on the quality and metabolite profile of cassava leaf feed based on untargeted metabolomics

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cassava leaves are a major byproduct of cassava processing and have a low utilization rate. In this study, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Bacillus subtilis were used for solid‐state fermentation of cassava leaves to improve their feed quality. Results After 48 h of fermentation, the feed pH decreased to
