Abstract:
... Yellow peas are a high-protein pulse crop with many potential food applications. Air-classified protein products are gaining popularity for their conserved native functionality and environmental benefits. However, air-classification of yellow peas has a few challenges preventing products from entering food markets, including fiber contamination and off-flavors/smells. A commonly recognized source ...
... BACKGROUND: Canola meal has limited utilization in feed and food applications because of the presence of antinutritional factors and a high fiber content. Thus, the present study used 3‐day canola seed sprouting followed by hull removal to improve the nutritional quality of canola as a feed and food ingredient to further enhance and diversify the canola market. RESULTS: Seed sprouting and the hull ...
... The effects of mild pretreatment and fungal fermentation on the nutritional characteristics of hexane extracted canola meal (HECM) was examined. HECM is a by-product of canola oil extraction process and has restricted use in animal diets due to presence of high levels of antinutritional factors (ANFs) and limited digestibility resulting in low nutrient availability. In this study, HECM was washed ...

Abstract:
... This research investigated potential soybean hull utilization in high value products by determining the amount of proteins, dietary fiber, minerals, phenolics, antioxidant activities, as well as functional properties of soybean hull samples in five different size fractions from 20 to 140 mesh. The contents of protein, ash, soluble sugar, and most amino acids increased with decreasing sizes. This s ...
... Sprouting is a beneficial way to increase the nutritional value of the original seeds. Besides, fungal fermentation of sprouts can further improve sprouts composition by reducing antinutritional factors and concentrating protein content. Thus, this study characterized the daily nutritional changes in canola sprouts and further evaluated the effect of fungal fermentation on 144 h sprouts under soli ...

Abstract:
... In this study, the mono‐, bi‐, and tri‐cultivation of Aureobasidium pullulans, Neurospora crassa, and Trichoderma reesei in solid‐state fermentation were applied to improve the nutritional values of hexane extracted canola meal (HECM) along with the reduction of antinutritional factors for animal feed applications. Static fermentation trials of 50% moisture content HECM were conducted in 500 mL Er ...
... Seed sprouts are nutrient-rich components, and their use in human and animal diets have increased in recent times. Microbial fermentation of seed sprouts not only improves the nutrient digestibility but also elevates the nutritional characteristics by lowering the level of antinutritional factors (ANFs). This study evaluates the effect of sprouting followed by fungal fermentation on the nutritiona ...

Abstract:
... The objective was to characterize the phytochemical profile of Moringa oleifera leaves extracts (aqueous, AE; methanolic, ME; glucosinolates, GE; and glucosinolate-rich hydrolyzed, GEH) and comparatively evaluate their antiproliferative effect on HCT116 and HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells. Moringa extracts were composed of chlorogenic acid, quercetin glucoside, quercetin-malonyl-glucoside, and ...
... The house cricket, Acheta domesticus L. (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) is one of the most important species of industrialized insects in the United States. Within the past five years the market of cricket powder as a food ingredient has been growing with increasing consumer interest on more sustainable sources of food. However, high labor costs of cricket production and high prices of cricket feed formul ...
... The objective was to compare the impact of black lentil (BL) water and delphinidin 3-O-(2-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-α-l-arabinopyranoside) (D3G)-rich lentil extracts on tumor development, inflammation and immune response in an azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) model. C57BL/6 mice were randomly separated into four groups: healthy control (n = 6), AOM/DSS control (n = 14), AOM/DSS + BL (600 ...
... BACKGROUND: Some plant essential oils have insecticidal properties against mosquitoes and can be harnessed as ecofriendly tools for mosquito control. We conducted bioassays to determine the toxicity of Italian honeysuckle (Lonicera caprifolium) essential oil and its fractions against larvae of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. RESULTS: Sixteen constituents were identified in honeysuckle es ...
... The objective was to compare the efficacy of a black lentil aqueous extract (BL) and a semi-purified anthocyanin (ANC) extract to prevent tumor development and inflammatory processes and impact on immune response in an azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) mouse model. BL was obtained from an overnight soak of organic beluga black lentils (1:2 w/v) in water, filtered, frozen, and freeze- ...
... Black beans contain anthocyanins that could be used as colorants in foods with associated health benefits. The objective was to optimize anthocyanins extraction from black bean coats and evaluate their physicochemical stability and antidiabetes potential. Optimal extraction conditions were 24% ethanol, 1:40 solid-to-liquid ratio and 29°C (P<0.0001). Three anthocyanins were identified by MS ions, d ...

Abstract:
... Pomacea maculata (formerly P. insularum), an apple snail native to South America, was discovered in Louisiana in 2008. These snails strip vegetation, reproduce at tremendous rates, and have reduced rice production and caused ecosystem changes in Asia. In this pilot study snails were exposed to two molluscicides, a tea (Camellia sinensis) seed derivative (TSD) or niclosamide monohydrate (Pestanal®, ...

Abstract:
... The study goal was to determine the optimal fungal culture to reduce glucosinolates (GLS), fiber, and residual sugars while increasing the protein content and nutritional value of canola meal. Solid-state incubation conditions were used to enhance filamentous growth of the fungi. Flask trials were performed using 50 % moisture content hexane-extracted (HE) or cold-pressed (CP) canola meal with inc ...
... Calea urticifolia leaves are traditionally used as a remedy to treat gastric ulcers, diabetes, and inflammation by the Xi’uy ancient native community of San Luis Potosi, Mexico.The aim was to assess the effects of the aqueous extract of the Mexican plant C. urticifolia as anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages and to provide evidence on t ...
... The rampant use of antibiotics in the swine industry has caused an increase in antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. Thus, investigating novel natural antimicrobial compounds that can be supplemented into swine feed is of great importance. Glyceollins are members of a class of inducible phytochemicals that are naturally produced by soybeans and have antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Previous ...
... Anthocyanin-rich powders and aqueous extracts, with high antioxidant activities, were obtained from black bean seed coats and applied to colour a sport beverage. Idaho and Otomi bean coats were extracted in water-citric acid 2% (1/50, w/v), stirring for 4h at 40°C. Anthocyanins from Idaho and Otomi extracts (1.83mg and 1.02mg C3G/g, respectively) were applied to a commercially available sport beve ...
... Previous studies have shown that a mutant of Arabidopsis that lacks the Toc159 receptor is impaired in chloroplast biogenesis. The mutant is referred as plastid protein import 2 or ppi2 and has an albino phenotype due to its inability to import the photosynthetic proteins. In this study, we measured fatty acid composition and transcript levels of plastid-localized fatty acid desaturases in the wil ...
... The in vivo bioavailability of the flavone-C-glycosides has been little studied compared to their O-glycoside analogues, which are both more common in nature and considered more easily hydrolyzed than C-glycosides, by both enterocytes and gut microbiota. In this study, we used vitexin-2-O-xyloside (VOX), an apigenin-8-C-glucoside-2-O-xyloside, purified from seeds of Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris cicl ...
