Phenolic Profiles, Antioxidant Properties and Predicted Glycaemic Index of Bread Sweetened With Date Syrup in Comparison With Granulated Sugar

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Date syrup are used as sweetener in bread. Bread with date syrup had superior phenolic composition, better antioxidant properties and carbohydrate hydrolysing enzymes while bread with granulated sugar had higher predicted glyceamic index. The study concluded that date syrup could be the next though‐out ingredient for dual purpose in bread. ABSTRACT The

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Chicory Roots for Prebiotics and Appetite Regulation: A Pilot Study in Mice [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2018
The objectives of this work are to address the prebiotic effects of chicory ( Cichorium intybus) together with its possible role in appetite control. We compared nine chicory genotypes in order to determine if variations in the content of metabolites in the roasted roots would lead to modifications in release of satiety hormones and in composition of ...
