Summary: This study focused on the volatile compounds and odour profile of faba bean during processing. Different cultivars and processing steps were found to affect the odour of faba bean, with 35 odour-active compounds identified. Selection of pulse-based ingredients with low volatile compounds could improve their flavour and increase consumption.

Summary: The nutritional quality of wheat-based crackers was improved by adding faba bean flour and starch, which increased protein, dietary fiber, fat, and resistant starch content. This study advances understanding of the factors that contribute to the in vivo benefits of adding faba bean flours to wheat-based products.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of crop domestication on root functional traits and trait plasticity in response to neighboring plants. The authors found that wild barley had higher root functional traits and acid phosphatase activity, but lower root exudation of carboxylates and mycorrhizal colonization compared to domesticated barley under low P supply. Wild barley exhibited larger plasticity in root traits, while domesticated barley showed greater plasticity in root exudates and mycorrhizal colonization. The combination of wild barley and faba bean showed higher P uptake benefits under low P supply. These findings provide valuable insights for barley breeding and species selection to enhance P uptake.

Summary: The impact of air-currents assisted particle separation (ACAPS) on the chemical composition, yield, and protein secondary structural changes of faba beans was evaluated. ACAPS treatment resulted in protein and dietary fibre-rich coarse fractions, which could be further processed into protein isolates, starch isolates, and dietary fibre concentrates.

Summary: Hybrid products incorporating alternative proteins can be an effective approach to reduce animal protein content in food formulations. This study used a desirability-based mixture design to model hybrid spreadable cheese analogues (SCAs) and found that the combination of milk protein concentrate (MPC), Tenebrio molitor (IF) and faba bean (FBP) flours improved texture and flavor profiles. The SCAs had higher protein and lower saturated fat, starch and sugar content than commercial analogues.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in volatile compounds, dextran synthesis, and acidity during the fermentation of faba bean protein concentrate with Weissella confusa A16. It was found that long fermentation time and high temperature resulted in the formation of ethanol and ethyl acetate, while reducing compounds associated with beany flavor. Increasing temperature, time, and dough yield led to higher levels of dextran, acetic acid, and lactic acid. Optimal fermentation conditions were identified as low temperature and high dough yield.

Summary: The study tested the hypothesis that air-classified faba bean protein fraction (FBP) could replace soybean meal (SBM) in broiler diets without affecting performance or nutrient digestibility. Birds fed FBP had lower feed intake, weight gain, and feed conversion compared to SBM. FBP diets showed higher nitrogen digestibility and water stability, indicating reduced palatability likely led to lower feed intake.

Summary: The study investigated the dietary effects of replacing fishmeal with cottonseed protein concentrate on the growth and flesh quality of Pacific white shrimp. The results showed that replacing 40% of fishmeal with cottonseed protein concentrate had no significant impact on the growth performance, but higher substitution reduced the growth and flesh quality of the shrimp.

Summary: This study examines the functionality of local yellow pea and faba bean protein isolates/concentrates as meat analogue products and successfully produces high-moisture meat analogues with fibrous layered structures through extrusion. The texture properties of the HMMA are mainly influenced by protein content, ash, fiber, water-holding capacity, and extrusion process parameters.

Summary: This paper proposes a new iterative method of EM initialization (MRIPEM) to address the sensitivity and local optimum problems in Gaussian mixture model parameter estimation. The mean vector and covariance matrix of the sample are used as initial values and continuously updated through clustering based on the maximum Mahalanobis distance. Experimental results show that the MRIPEM algorithm is comparable to other popular initialization methods in relatively high dimensions and overlaps, and significantly better in low dimensions and overlaps.

Summary: The objective of this study was to understand the influence of substituting wheat flour with whole bean flour or faba bean protein-rich fraction on the quality, nutritional composition, and digestibility of bread. Higher levels of substitution were associated with reduced volume and increased density and hardness of the bread. Image analysis provided insights on the effects of the substitution on bread characteristics. Incorporating faba bean in wheat bread can reduce starch content and improve protein content and digestibility.

Summary: In contrast to the fasting endurance hypothesis (FEH) predictions, Arctic mammals are often smaller than their temperate conspecifics. For Svalbard reindeer, the size of fat reserves can be independent of lean mass and body size, and ecological and environmental variation influence fasting endurance via their effects on body composition.

Summary: Seasonal variation plays a significant role in the heart rate changes of Svalbard reindeer, with body mass, age, and reproductive status influencing the relationship between heart rate and subcutaneous temperature. Seasonal plasticity in energetics allows them to adapt to their highly seasonal environment, but intraseasonal constraints may limit their ability to respond to severe environmental changes. Individual state and seasonal context are important factors to consider when studying energetics in free-living animals.

Summary: Peak lactation is limited by the capacity of lactating females to dissipate body heat, and manipulations that enhance heat dissipation, such as shaving, can increase peak milk production. Shaving-induced increases in milk production were paradoxically linked to reduced expression of some milk synthesis-related genes. Shaved mice were also more likely to wean their young faster and experience earlier involution of the mammary gland compared to unshaved mice.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of dietary selenium supplementation on physiological parameters, selenoprotein and antioxidant enzyme gene expression in Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae. It was found that feeding a diet containing 4.42 μg Se/g dry mass improved the expression of selenoproteins and antioxidant genes. This suggests that non-selenium-enriched rotifers may be suboptimal for first-feeding Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae.

The presence of SAA protein was analyzed in rainbow trout macrophage cell line and rainbow trout challenged with Aeromonas salmonicida- or flagellin-stimulated Atlantic salmon. This study is the first to characterize SAA protein levels in salmonids in vivo and in vitro, and the newly developed salmonid SAA antibody has the potential to be developed into assays for monitoring and evaluating fish health.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary choline supplementation on Pacific white shrimp. The results showed that dietary choline supplementation promoted the deposition of choline and its metabolites, had negative effects on the histological structure and fatty acid profile of the hepatopancreas, and regulated lipid metabolism. Appropriate dietary choline levels promoted the development of hepatopancreas R cells and maintained normal lipid accumulation, while high dietary choline levels enhanced lipid export and fatty acid oxidation, and inhibited de novo fatty acid synthesis.

Summary: Recently, genetically modified Camelina sativa has been used to produce oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can potentially replace fish oil in the feeds for juvenile Atlantic Bluefin tuna. The study found that the oils showed positive effects on the growth, survival, and feed utilization of the tuna. Furthermore, the oils upregulated the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
