Phytochemicals and cancer [PDF]

Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2007
Epidemiological studies showing a protective effect of diets rich in fruits and vegetables against cancer have focused attention on the possibility that biologically-active plant secondary metabolites exert anti-carcinogenic activity. This huge group of compounds, now collectively termed ‘phytochemicals’, provides much of the flavour and colour of ...

Modeling the Physical Characteristics of Ultrasound Pretreated Dialium guineense Whole Fruits Using Neural Network Pattern Recognition Model

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
The study of Physical characteristics of agricultural materials is necessary for the design of processes and machines for food production. Length, width, thickness, sphericity, unit mass, and aspect ratio were the physical characteristics of ultrasound pretreated Dialium guineense whole fruits subjected to Neural network modeling.

Rapid Analysis of Phytic Acid by Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry

Molecules
Phytic acid (PA), owing to its strong acidity and multidentate metal-chelating properties, readily forms multiple adduct/complex ions in mass spectrometry and is prone to pronounced matrix effects, resulting in complicated spectra and compromised ...

Noninvasive Glucose Detection with Biodegradable Electrodes from Rice Starch Functionalized with a Carbon Quantum Dot/Nickel Oxide Nanocomposite

Analysis &Sensing, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows an eco‐friendly approach to fabricating a biodegradable electrochemical sensor. Carbon quantum dot/nickel oxide (CQD/NiO) nanocomposites are synthesized using Aloe arborescens leaf extract, which served as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent.

Aloe vera–Based Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles With Characterization, Potent Antibacterial and Antioxidant Properties

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green synthesis has emerged as a suitable alternative to the traditional method for manufacturing nanoparticles (NPs) as it provides a safer, sustainable, healthy, and environmental path for the NPs synthesis. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared using a green method with locally sourced Aloe vera leaf extract.

Synthesis and Characterization of Ag–Fe Bimetallic Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites (Alloys and Core–Shells) for Photocatalytic Degradation of Bromophenol Blue Dye Using Grewia optiva Leaf Extract

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ag–Fe bimetallic nanoparticles (alloy and core–shell structures) were synthesized using Grewia optiva leaf extract through a green, phytochemical‐mediated approach. The effects of pH, temperature, extract concentration, and Ag:Fe molar ratio on nanoparticle formation were systematically optimized, enabling size‐controlled and morphologically ...

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...

Egg white rice-shaped analogue enhances satiety hormones and glycemic control in healthy men: a randomized unblinded crossover trial

Food Production, Processing and Nutrition
Obesity is a major global concern driven by excessive energy intake and poor diet quality. In many Asian populations, white rice is a primary energy source with low protein and fiber and a high glycemic index.
