Potential of Seaweed to Improve the Quality and Shelf Life of Fish and Fishery Products

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Growing global demand for safe fish preservation has increased interest in natural alternatives. Seaweed‐derived bioactive compounds possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that enhance fish quality, safety, and shelf life. These sustainable preservatives may reduce spoilage and synthetic preservative use, though further research ...

Differential effects of daytime and nighttime high temperatures at the grain formation stage on starch structure and properties in waxy maize

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
High temperature (HT) is a critical abiotic stress factor that negatively impacts yield and quality of maize worldwide. Although the effects of HT during key growth stages are extensively documented, the distinct influences of daytime versus nighttime HT

Safety and Metabolic Effects of Withania somnifera Seed Extract and Powder in Rats: Insights From DPP‐4 Molecular Docking

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Withania somnifera seed extract and powder improved metabolic parameters in rats, particularly at higher extract doses, without evident hepatic, renal, hematological, or histopathological toxicity. Molecular docking further predicted strong DPP‐4 inhibitory potential of withanone, supporting the antidiabetic potential of W. somnifera seeds.

Effects of Waxy Maize Starch and Malate-Debranched Waxy Maize Starch on Gut Microbiota of Humans In Vitro and Mice In Vivo

Microorganisms
The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in host health. Dietary components such as waxy maize starch (WMS) and malate-debranched WMS (MADBS) may serve as modulators of microbial composition and function. In this study, the effects of WMS and MADBS on murine gut microbiota in vivo and human fecal in vitro fermentation were investigated.

Ozonation as a promising approach to improve stored rice quality in Ghana

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Two species of rice pests that are responsible for postharvest losses, the rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) and the Angoumois moth (Sitotroga cerealella), are major destructive pests responsible for paddy grain deterioration. A benchtop custom‐built model of ozone‐generating equipment from ozone generator DKM‐10GY, producing 2000 ppm

Dietary impact of agri‐food by‐products on the volatile composition of Tenebrio molitor larvae

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Incorporating Tenebrio molitor larvae as ingredients in common foods is a promising strategy to encourage their consumption. To achieve this, knowing their volatile profile and the factors that may modify the profile is essential. The effect of larval feeding over volatile composition remains under‐researched, for this reason; the ...

Study on physicochemical properties of purple waxy wheat starch

International Journal of Food Properties, 2021
Morphological features and physicochemical properties of purple waxy wheat 168 (PWW168) starch were compared with those of normal wheat and maize starches. The morphologies of PWW168 were found to be similar for normal wheat starch.

The function of the Waxy locus in starch synthesis in maize endosperm

Biochemical Genetics, 1974
The soluble adenosine diphosphate glucose-starch glucosyltransferase of maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm uses adenosine diphosphate glucose as a sole substrate, but the starch granule-bound nucleoside diphosphate glucose-starch glucosyltransferase utilizes both adenosine diphosphate glucose and uridine diphosphate glucose.
