The quantity of zinc absorbed from wheat in adult women Is enhanced by biofortification [PDF]

Biofortification of staple food crops with micronutrients could reduce micronutrient malnutrition at relatively low cost. Zinc is especially important in this consideration as a lack of dietary zinc is a major cause of early childhood morbidity and ...

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Non‐Enzymatic Browning Under Emerging Cooking Technologies: Matrix‐Dependent Pathways, Neoformed Compounds, and Nutritional–Toxicological Trade‐Offs

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Non‐enzymatic browning in foods is a dynamic reaction network integrating Maillard chemistry, caramelization, lipid oxidation, and ascorbic acid degradation. Processing technologies and matrix factors govern pathways, balancing desirable sensory attributes with harmful compounds.

Maize Biofortification Approaches for Fighting Malnutrition in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Maize is a staple food in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA); however, commonly used maize varieties are deficient in essential nutrients, including lysine, tryptophan, vitamin A, and minerals such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). As a result, millions of people in this region suffer from one or more nutrient deficiencies that commonly lead to malnutrition ...

Disruption of Claudin‐2 and Trpv6 Results in Hypocalcemia, Hypercalciuria, and Altered Bone Microarchitecture in Mice

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Transepithelial calcium absorption occurs via a transcellular or paracellular pathway. The intestinal transcellular pathway relies, at least partially, on the apical calcium channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6), whereas paracellular calcium (re)absorption occurs through tight junction proteins, including claudin‐2 (CLDN2 ...
