Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.This study evaluated Bambara groundnut–wheat composite bread fortified with orange peel in diabetic rats. Diets significantly lowered blood glucose, inhibited α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, and boosted antioxidant enzymes compared to controls. Results emphasize BG‐based functional foods' potential to help manage type 2 diabetes through regulation of ...

Subsistence harvest for food and pets associated with declining global mammal populations
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Subsistence harvest can have substantial impacts on mammalian biodiversity, yet its effects on the conservation status of mammal species are poorly understood. We analyzed trade and use data in species accounts from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List to examine the effects of subsistence harvest on the conservation ...

Effect of Storage Temperature and Materials on Protein Quality and Functional Properties of Soybeans
Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.Hermetic PICS bags combined with cool storage (15°C) effectively preserved soybean protein quality and functional properties ([protein solubility, emulsifying capacity, and oil absorption capacity] of soybean protein isolates) during storage. Polypropylene bags and 25°C accelerated protein deterioration lead to significant nutritional losses.
