Nutritional, Functional, and Anti‐Hypercholesterolemic Properties of Sourdough Breads From Unripe Plantain, Tiger Nut, and Fenugreek Flours

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Composite sourdough breads were developed from blends of unripe plantain, tiger nut, and fenugreek flours. Optimized formulations improved pasting stability and enhanced texture, producing softer more elastic crumbs. The enriched breads contained higher dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, and significantly reduced serum cholesterol markers ...

Optimising Sulphur Fertilisation in Ryegrass–White Clover Swards Reduces Leached Nitrate Nitrogen Losses, While Increasing Plant Yield and Nitrogen Off‐Take

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The inclusion of sulphur at two inorganic nitrogen rates (0 and 150 kg N ha−1) improves plant productivity in a ryegrass–white clover sward and reduces nitrate‐N loss to groundwater in a free‐draining sandy loam soil. ABSTRACT Background Reducing nitrogen (N) losses to water, lessening reliance on inorganic fertiliser and maintaining agricultural ...

Soil Mineral Nitrogen Concentrations Do Not Affect the Ability of Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) to Reduce Nitrous Oxide Emissions From Cattle Urine Patches

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Results to date on the effectiveness of plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) use as a nitrous oxide (N2O) mitigation tool have been variable. In this context, soil mineral N and water content might be factors regulating plantain effectiveness in reducing N2O emissions.
