Probing the Effect of Ultrasonication, Probiotic Lacto‐Fermentation, and Blanching on Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidants Activities, and Antinutrients of Tomato

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
The present study was investigated to assess the effect of lactic acid fermentation (LAB, 24 h), ultrasonication (10, 20, and 30 min), and blanching (90°C, 1 min) on the nutrients, antinutrients, and antioxidant activities. Among various processing treatments, LAB fermentation anticipated the highest decline in phytates, oxalates, glycoalkaloids, and ...

Natural allelic variation of basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor 25 regulates carotenoid biosynthesis in sweet potato

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2627-2644, July 2025.
Summary Carotenoid‐rich orange‐fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is an important staple diet and source of nutrition in developing countries, including Africa and Asia. However, the regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis remains to be better understood. A natural allelic variation closely linked to carotenoid biosynthesis was identified in the promoter region
