Summary: The functional behavior of Prosopis alba exudate gum (G) as a component of powders rich in antioxidant pigments was studied. Various properties of spray dried aqueous extracts of Hibiscus sabdariffa with different ratios of maltodextrin and G were evaluated and compared with gum arabic (GA). Powders containing G exhibited desirable characteristics, such as low moisture content, high solubility, small particle size, and similar glass transition temperature as those containing GA. The presence of phenolic compounds in G improved the storage stability of the pigments and their antioxidant properties. Prosopis alba exudate gum shows promise as an alternative to gum arabic, providing added value to an underutilized resource.

Summary: This study evaluated the potential effects of anthocyanin-rich roselle extract on broiler chickens. The results showed that dietary supplementation with the extract had numerous beneficial effects on the birds' metabolic functions, blood biochemistry, intestinal morphology, antioxidant activity, immune status, and omega-3 content in the breast muscles. However, it did not improve the birds' growth.

Summary: This article reviews the toxic mechanisms of deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin that contaminates cereal crops, and discusses methods to prevent and reduce its toxicity. Mitochondria are an important target of DON, and DON can indirectly cause mitochondrial damage and changes through various means. Biological detoxification and the antioxidant effect of natural products show potential as effective treatments for DON toxicity.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different concentrations of Clitoria ternatea flower extract (CTFE) on the color, texture, phytochemicals, and sensory quality of dried and cooked noodles. Results showed that dried noodles with 30% CTFE had the highest levels of anthocyanins, polyphenols, DPPH radical scavenging capacity, and reducing power. Cooking significantly reduced anthocyanin levels and blue color, while increasing the greenness of the noodles. Noodles with 20-30% CTFE showed higher color preference, and despite a reduction in cutting force and tensile strength, sensory attributes were similar to noodles without CTFE.

Summary: Osmotic stress negatively affects the growth and yield of roselle plants, but it can be alleviated by the integrated application of nitrogen-fixing bacteria soil amendment and foliar application of Aloe vera or moringa leaf extracts. The application of these extracts enhances the nutritional content and antioxidant production, leading to increased stress tolerance in the plants. The best results were observed when Azospirillum lipoferum x ALE was applied in salt-affected soil for roselle cultivation.

Summary: In this study, bioactive ingredients were extracted from Hibiscus sabdariffa using microwave-assisted extraction (MAEX) and deep eutectic solvents (DES) based on citric acid. The optimal extraction conditions were determined using response surface methodology, resulting in high yields of phenolics, anthocyanins, and antioxidant activity.

Summary: In this study, the rheological property of sweet potato starch (SPS), kappa-carrageenan (KC) and Oxalis triangularis extract (OTE) blends was investigated, showing high apparent viscosity with shear thinning behavior. Films based on SPS, KC and OTE were developed and their structural and functional properties were studied. The results showed that the incorporation with OTE and KC could enhance the properties of the SPS film such as thickness, water vapor permeability, light barrier ability, tensile strength, elongation at break, pH and ammonia sensitivity. The SPS-KC-OTE films also exhibited significant DPPH radical scavenging activity and visible color change in response to beef meat freshness.
