Bioenhancer‐Driven Modulation of Membrane Dynamics Improves B‐Vitamin Uptake in Caco‐2 Cells
Natural bioenhancers such as extracts from ginger, turmeric, black pepper, and spearmint increase the uptake of vitamins B1, B5, B6, and B7 in Caco‐2 cells. Micellized formulations further increase efficacy. These findings indicate that altered membrane fluidity contributes to enhanced cellular absorption, providing a new route to improve vitamin B ...

This study evaluated Bambara groundnut–wheat composite bread fortified with orange peel in diabetic rats. Diets significantly lowered blood glucose, inhibited α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, and boosted antioxidant enzymes compared to controls. Results emphasize BG‐based functional foods' potential to help manage type 2 diabetes through regulation of ...

Boiling retained the nutrients and polyphenol compounds in Plectranthus esculentus tubers better than frying or roasting. A bioavailability study showed that the phytates and oxalates in the tuber may not affect the bioavailabilities of calcium, zinc, or iron in Plectranthus esculentus tubers when eaten.
