Studies on the Nutritional, Functional, Textural, and Sensory Characteristics of Finger and Barnyard Millet‐Incorporated Nuggets

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The graphic illustrates the development of nuggets traditionally known as “wari” prepared with whole green grams and composite flour barnyard millet var. (PRJ‐1) and finger millet var. (VL‐M‐380) in a 1:1 ratio. The addition of millet significantly improved the nutritional value of nuggets, providing higher levels of protein, carbohydrates, fiber ...

Bioavailability through lactic fermentation in millet for combating hidden hunger

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Millets are nutrient‐rich grains with considerable potential to combat hidden hunger, but the presence of anti‐nutritional factors, can restrict mineral bioavailability. Processing strategies including soaking, germination, cooking, and lactic acid fermentation can reduce the anti‐nutritional factors.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic
