Effect of wheat dextrin on corn flour extrusion characteristics

Heliyon, 2023
Wheat dextrin is a modified wheat starch, classified as water-soluble. This study investigated the effect of wheat dextrin as an ingredient in corn flour blends on extrusion characteristics. Blends were prepared at 0, 10 and 20 % fibre content.

Relevance for Food Safety of Applications of Nanotechnology in the Food and Feed Industry [PDF]

, 2008
The application of nanotechnology in the food and feed industry offers many potential benefits for both consumers and manufacturers.The ultrafine dimensions of nanoparticles, and consequently their very large surface area, enable them to function more effectively than conventional macro-scale structures in many applications. Nanotechnology is however a

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Surface modification of 3D‐printed polycaprolactone scaffolds with silk fibroin for bone tissue engineering

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Coating 3D‐printed PCL scaffolds with silk fibroin can improve biocompatibility and bone cell adhesion. One innovative design for tissue‐engineering scaffolds uses 3D printing technology. Here, we used polycaprolactone (PCL) filament as a biocompatible material to design a porous 3D scaffold for bone tissue engineering.
