Summary: Detecting the bioactive ingredients and nutritional characteristics of restructured functional foods is scientifically significant. Traditional methods of detecting components are time-consuming, inefficient, and tedious. Nondestructive testing (NDT) has emerged as a rapid and simple technology. This paper reviews NDT methods for restructured functional foods, such as compounded foods, printing foods, and artificial meat, in terms of their bioactivities and nutritional value. It also provides a summary of the challenges and future research directions for NDT methods in restructured functional foods.

Summary: Phytochemicals from natural products, particularly cruciferous vegetables, have been extensively studied for their potential anticancer effects. These functional foods bioactive compounds have shown promising abilities to upregulate p53 and its related target genes, contributing to the prevention of cancer progression associated with DNA damage. The mutation of p53 is associated with the incidence of gastrointestinal malignancies. This review provides crucial information about the use of cruciferous vegetables in treating gastrointestinal tract malignancies.

Summary: Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels play a critical role in cancer-related pain. Substances released by the cancer microenvironment modulate the activity of TRP channels, affecting pain transmission. Secondary metabolites derived from plant extracts have the potential to serve as therapeutic agents for relieving cancer-induced pain.

Summary: TRP channels play a crucial role in oral pathology, including pain transduction, inflammation, and bone resorption. TRPV1 is important in pulpitis and periodontitis, while TRPM2 is involved in reduced saliva secretion after radiation. TRPA1 and TRPV1 mediate trigeminal nerve pain. Several TRP agonists and antagonists, as well as specific targeting techniques, have shown potential in blocking pathological processes in oral diseases.

Summary: The growing interest in a healthy lifestyle has led to a spread of perspectives on sustainable natural resource management. This review focuses on the use of cacti in the food industry, highlighting its sustainability, nutrition, and functionality. The study provides an overview of the potential benefits of cacti for promoting sustainable cultivation of underutilized species and their commercial exploitation. Commercial cactus production offers advantages over other agricultural practices by minimizing ecosystem damage and promoting a shift towards sustainable agriculture. The application of cactus ingredients in food development is wide-ranging, including producing breads, jellies, gums, dyes, probiotics, and postbiotic and paraprobiotic foods. However, further research is needed to study processing technologies and probiotic interactions with raw materials to determine product functionality and bioactivity.

Summary: Epilepsy is a prevalent and disabling brain disorder characterized by spontaneous seizures. The current medications for epilepsy are not effective for over 30% of patients and have significant adverse effects. Identifying novel drug targets, such as TRP channels, can lead to new therapies for epilepsy.
