Clinical and research applications of synthetic bone substitutes in equine veterinary medicine: A systematic review

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bone grafting in equine medicine offers a promising contribution to treating orthopaedic developmental diseases and chondral, osteochondral and segmental bone defects. Among grafts, synthetic bone substitutes—alloplastics—show favourable biological properties addressing numerous limitations presented by autografts, xenografts and ...

Chemical Composition, Amino Acids, Phenolic Profiles and Bioavailability of Minerals in Livingstone Potato (Plectranthus esculentus) as Affected by Different Processing Techniques

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Boiling retained the nutrients and polyphenol compounds in Plectranthus esculentus tubers better than frying or roasting. A bioavailability study showed that the phytates and oxalates in the tuber may not affect the bioavailabilities of calcium, zinc, or iron in Plectranthus esculentus tubers when eaten.

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

open access: yesFood 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 ...

Comparison of physicochemical, rheological, and digestibility properties of starch isolated from plantain (Musa paradisiaca) using different methods

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The present work aimed to evaluate the effect of different isolation methods (distilled water, sodium hydroxide, and potassium metabisulfite) on the properties of plantain starch and compared with flour. It was hypothesized that chemical steeping enhanced yield, techno‐functional properties, and resistant starch without disrupting native ...
