Improving Wheat Bran Properties Using Potential Bioprocesses for Application in Functional Bread Production

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Bioprocessing treatments improved the nutritional value and phenolic content of wheat bran. Substitution of wheat flour with treated wheat bran improved the rheological properties of pan bread dough and increased the nutritional value, phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and freshness of pan bread.

Amino acid and mineral digestibility, bone ash, and plasma inositol is increased by including microbial phytase in diets for growing pigs

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Background The effect of microbial phytase on amino acid and energy digestibility is not consistent in pigs, which may be related to the phytase dosage or the adaptation length to the diet.

Dietary inclusion of raw potato or high‐amylose‐corn resistant starches fed for different durations: impact on phenotypic responses and indicators of gut health of broiler chickens

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This 21‐day study evaluated the effects of feeding durations of graded levels (RSL) of raw potato starch (RPS) or high amylose corn starch (HCS) on growth performance, energy utilization and intestinal biochemical metrics in broiler chickens.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increase aleurone layer zinc concentration but reduce overall zinc bioavailability in rice grain

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rice is a critical crop for the delivery of calories and essential micronutrients to the human diet. Biofortification of rice with zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) aims to combat the health issues associated with “hidden hunger”. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have been explored for their potential to enhance Zn and Fe uptake in rice products.

Safety assessment of a novel thermostable phytase

Toxicology Reports, 2021
A novel 6-phytase (Phytase TSP, trade name OptiPhos® PLUS) with improved thermostability has been developed for use in animal feed. The safety of the new phytase was evaluated by testing for genotoxicity and subchronic toxicity. In in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity assays Phytase TSP concentrate was not mutagenic and did not induce biologically or ...

Interspecific and intraspecific variations in root phosphatase activity among tropical tree species with different soil phosphorus associations

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Our results suggest that the specialization of tropical tree species to low‐P soil involves investment in the acquisition of complex soil organic phosphates such as phosphodiesters and phytic acid. This is possibly related to root trait divergence and indicates that variation in P acquisition strategies among tropical tree species could contribute to ...

Plant‐derived vesicle‐like nanoparticles in food crops: emerging insights into nutritional biofortification and biomedical applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Food crops, as the cornerstone of human nutrition, not only provide essential macronutrients but also encompass a rich spectrum of bioactive compounds that promote health. Of particular significance are underutilized minor crops, which contain unique beneficial components with proven nutraceutical properties. These valuable bioactive components

Tolerance to Phosphorus Deficiency Improves Seed Phytic Acid‐to‐Iron Molar Ratios in Common Bean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although significant advances have been achieved in the biofortification of common beans to overcome deficiencies in Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. We thus explored the relationships between phosphorus nutrition and Zn and Fe accumulation in four bean genotypes (Edar, Nizok, Colorado and Chimbolos ...

Hop as a phytogenic alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry production

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 9, Page 4753-4757, July 2025.
Abstract With the rapid growth of the world's population, the demand for food is also increasing. Poultry accounts for 40% of the global meat sector and therefore represents a significant area for further growth. One starting point for increasing production is to refine the composition of feed to improve the efficiency of growth and nutrient ...
