Functional diabetic biscuits enriched with cereal fibers, black plum (jamun) and bioactive spices

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Cereal fibres, black plum (jamun) seed powder and bioactive spices can be combined with controlled mixing, hydration and baking to design functional biscuits. Fibre‐rich structures may limit starch accessibility, while polyphenols may inhibit starch‐digesting enzymes.

Disclosing the production of fungal chitinases and proteases using insect by‐products as substrates in solid‐state fermentation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...
