Abstract:
... Guava fruit is rich in phenolic compounds (PCs), whose metabolic fate has not been explored. Non-digestible carbohydrates and PCs in whole guava (WG) and seedless guava (SG) were submitted to an in vitro colonic fermentation, followed by evaluation of the anti-proliferative activity of the fermentation extracts in HT-29 cancer cell lines. The main PCs in both samples were (+)-gallocatechin and gal ...

Abstract:
... During multicellularization, plants evolved unique cell-cell connections, the plasmodesmata (PD). PD of angiosperms are complex cellular domains, embedded in the cell wall and consisting of multiple membranes and a large number of proteins. From the beginning, it had been assumed that PD provide passage for a wide range of molecules, from ions to metabolites and hormones, to RNAs and even proteins ...

Abstract:
... Extruded-cooked lentil (ECL) flour was used to fortify (10/100 g dough) gluten-free pizza, which was compared with rice/corn-based pizza (control), and with pizza containing native lentil (NL) flour. Viscoamylograph and Mixolab data evidenced the hydrocolloid properties of ECL flour (initial viscosity = 69.3 BU), which contained pregelatinized starch. The use of ECL flour made it possible to elimi ...

Abstract:
... Quinoa is a dicotyledonous annual herb has cold and drought resistance. However, there is little research on quinoa under waterlogging stress. We analyzed the metabolomics and transcriptomics of Dianli-1299 (waterlogging-resistant strain), Dianli-60, and Yuncaili-2 (non-waterlogging-resistant strains) quinoa seedlings. Through metabolome, we detected a total of 1058 metabolites. And 337, 300, and ...
... In the present study, the fluctuations in fatty acids, tocopherols, organic acids, and free sugars content of cardoon blades collected at sixteen harvest dates (samples B1–B16, corresponding to principal growth stages (PGS) between 1 and 9) were evaluated. A total of 26 fatty acids were identified, with palmitic (C16:0, 19.9–40.13%), α-linolenic (C18:3n3, 6.39–33.2%), and linoleic (C18:2n6c, 9–34. ...
... The impact of dehulling as a pre-treatment for dry fractionation on the distribution of inositol phosphate and the composition and quantity of different carbohydrates in the fine and coarse fractions from yellow peas and faba beans was elucidated. For peas, low molecular weight carbohydrates markedly increased during air classification in the fine fraction whereas for faba beans this tendency was ...

Abstract:
... Near infrared (950−1654 nm) hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) was applied for the first time for the prediction of proximate composition (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, ashes) and alpha-galactosides (verbascose, stachyose, raffinose) content of texturized vegetable proteins (TVP) obtained from different raw materials (four formulations) intended for plant-based meat analogues (PBMA) production. Af ...

Abstract:
... Since its inception, food additive has been an integral part of the food processing industry with various commercial roles. Besides its advantages, various studies have already highlighted its long-term adverse effects on human health. However, in terms of protein structures and functions, the innate mechanism that triggers these effects has not been elucidated in previously reported studies. Our ...
... Chocolate is one of the most popular sweets in the world. In recent years, the bean-to-bar process for chocolate production has attracted global attention. Bean-to-bar is a method of managing the whole production process from cocoa beans to chocolate bars, including single-origin chocolate (SOC). Many manufacturers aim to produce high-quality chocolate to maximize the flavor of cocoa beans. Howeve ...
... Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), the α-galactosyl derivatives of sucrose, are nearly ubiquitous in Plantae, and they have been demonstrated to play pivotal roles in regulating plant responses to various abiotic stresses. RFOs accumulate to high levels in plant kernels/fruits or vegetative parts and are commonly associated with storability and desiccation or cold tolerance. Recent studies ...
... Pinus elliottii × P. caribaea is a widely planted commercial tree hybrid in South China. To investigate the potential of physiological parameters for clonal selection, cuttings of three clones (EH3, EH4 and EH5) and a control were grown in phosphorus treated pots. Significant variations to phosphorous, photosystem II activity and polar metabolite abundance in needles were noted among clones. Clone ...

Abstract:
... Enterohepatic circulation of 12α-hydroxylated (12αOH) bile acid (BA) is enhanced depending on the energy intake in high-fat diet-fed rats. Such BA metabolism can be reproduced using a diet supplemented with cholic acid (CA), which also induces simple steatosis, without inflammation and fibrosis, accompanied by some other symptoms that are frequently observed in the condition of non-alcoholic fatty ...
... In the gastrointestinal tract, some dietary carbohydrates, such as xylose, raffinose and arabinose, are able to stimulate the growth of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. In this study, the growth rate of Ligilactobacillus salivarius Ren in raffinose was 0.91 ± 0.03 h⁻¹, which was higher than that in glucose (0.83 ± 0.01 h⁻¹). However, limited information is available on specific transporters and ...
... Legumes are a rich source of many different biologically active substances, such as fiber, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the third most important leguminous plant in the world: it has high nutritional value and is a source of a wide range of bioactive compounds. Bioactive peptides of chickpea seeds have antioxidant, ACE-inhibiting, cholesterollowering, antihyper ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The plant protein market has been growing at an unprecedented rate. To evaluate the utilization potential of Canadian faba beans, the nutritional value of flours and protein isolates of cultivars Fabelle, Malik, and Snowbird were compared to yellow pea (CDC Amarillo) and soy (AAC 26‐15), the two major players in the legume protein market. FINDINGS: Faba bean was largely ...

Abstract:
... Although type 2C protein phosphatases (PP2Cs) have been demonstrated to play important roles in regulating plant development and various stress responses, their specific roles in rice abiotic stress tolerance are still largely unknown. In this study, the functions of OsPP65 in rice osmotic and salt stress tolerance were investigated. Here, we report that OsPP65 is responsive to multiple stresses a ...

Abstract:
... The phase (solid, semisolid, or liquid) of atmospheric aerosols is central to their ability to take up water or undergo heterogeneous reactions. In recent years, the unexpected prevalence of viscous organic particles has been shown through field measurements and global atmospheric modeling. The aerosol phase has been predicted using glass transition temperatures (Tg), which were estimated based on ...

In the present study petioles were collected from cultivated cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L. var altilis) plants in central Greece at sixteen harvest dates (samples P1-P16) and nine growth stages (principal growth stages (PGS) 1–9). The main objective of this study was to study the influence of petioles’ growth cycle on their chemical composition. The lipidic content, fatty acids, free sugars, orga ...
... Galactinol, a galactosyl donor, is the key substrate in raffinose family oligosaccharide (RFO) biosynthesis pathways. Many studies proved that galactinol also regulates some defense-related genes to be transcribed as a sugar signal under biotic and abiotic stresses. There are four galactinol synthase (SlGolS) genes in tomato. In this study, SlGolS1, SlGolS2, and SlGolS4 responded to cold stress, e ...
