Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Maize Kernel Composition and Morphology Influences Pericarp Retention During Nixtamalization
Abstract Background and Objectives Pericarp retention during nixtamalization directly influences masa quality, affecting texture, machinability, and nutritional content of staple foods such as tortillas and chips. Despite its industrial relevance, the underlying kernel traits that govern pericarp retention remain poorly characterized.

Effect of glycerol on the physicochemical properties of cereal starch films
The physical properties of corn, wheat and rice starch edible films with different level of glycerol were evaluated. Starch films exhibited an apparent endothermic peak in the range of 151-199°C with corn starch film with 1.6% glycerol having a ...

Moderate Amylose Increases From SSIIa Mutations Modify Pasta Texture in Durum Wheat
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum) pasta quality depends on grain yellowness, gluten strength, and protein content, and can be modified by altering starch composition. High‐amylose null mutants improve nutritional traits but often reduce seed size, yield, and processing quality.

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives This study investigated how particle size influenced pasting and gelling behaviors of cereal flours across a wide range of heating temperatures. Hard wheat, soft wheat, oats, barley, and rye were milled into flours using 0.5‐, 1.0‐, or 2.0‐mm screens, and the resulting flours were subjected to heating over 95°C–140°C ...

Effect of maturation process conditions on content of starch components in dried and air-dried corn
The experiment explored the effect of curing conditions on the component content of dried and air-dried corn. A two-factor experimental design was adopted, with drying methods and curing conditions as independent variables, drying methods at two levels ...

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Explosion puffing, a new pretreatment technology, was first applied to rice as a beer adjunct to replace conventional cooking and explore its potential to improve saccharification efficiency. Findings Explosion puffed rice exhibited reduced moisture, bulk density, starch, and fat, with a 5.37‐fold increase in ...
