Summary: Studies have shown that sprouted grains in the fermentation process can produce more bioactive tyrosine derivatives, increasing the content of tyrosine and tyramine, with the formation of dopamine, L-DOPA, and tyramine depending on the type of cereal. By combining sprouting and sourdough fermentation techniques, cereal products rich in dopamine and L-DOPA can be produced as functional food ingredients.

Summary: The potential application of pineapple by-products (peels and stems) as a functional food was evaluated for its prebiotic and antioxidant activities. The pineapple liquid fraction was found to enhance the growth of probiotic microorganisms and exhibit antioxidant properties. During the simulated gastrointestinal process, high molecular weight polysaccharides in the pineapple liquid fraction were digested into smaller saccharides, and specific polyphenols were released. However, the prebiotic activity did not improve throughout the simulation.

Summary: The study evaluates the nutritional quality and bioactive potential of breads made with different ratios of buckwheat flour to wheat flour. The results show that breads made with whole buckwheat flour have higher mineral and fiber contents, while those made with refined buckwheat flour have higher bioaccessibility. The levels of rutin and quercetin increase after baking. The study also finds that breads with 30% buckwheat flour are well accepted by consumers.

Summary: This study explored the potential mechanism of glycosidic fraction of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora Pennell (GPS) extract for the treatment of colitis using UPLC-QTOF-MS analysis, network pharmacology and experimental research. The results showed that GPS extract exerts its anti-inflammatory effect against colitis by suppressing the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways.

Summary: In this study, the non-nutritional health benefits of sprouts were investigated, and their antioxidant activity was evaluated. Six compounds were found in the sprout extracts, with caffeic acid being the most abundant. Different types of sprouts showed variations in nutritional content and antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that sprouts have biological effects and their high production efficiency makes them a valuable material for finding alternative food sources and developing natural products and dietary supplements.

Summary: This paper assessed the impact of different drying methods (hot air drying, freeze drying, vacuum drying, and microwave drying) on the content of bioactive substances and the digestion and absorption characteristics of Ganoderma lucidum fermented whole wheat (GW) products. The results showed that freeze drying, vacuum drying, and hot air drying were beneficial for retaining unstable substances in GW, while microwave drying had lower content. The bioavailability of polysaccharides in the microwave drying group was significantly higher, but the bioaccessibility was lower compared to the other drying methods. Principal component analysis indicated that vacuum drying was more suitable for GW drying.

Summary: Nitrogen application improves wheat yield and protein content, but also affects the nutritional quality. Metabolomics analysis revealed that amino acids, nucleic acids, phytohormones, glycolytic processes, and metabolite spatial variation are crucial factors for protein content in wheat grains. Nitrogen and genotypes interactively regulate amino acids, derivatives, lipids, flavonoids, and their spatial variation, which contribute to the nutritional quality of grains. Excessive nitrogen application may hinder the accumulation of beneficial bioactive substances in the inner layer, resulting in poor nutritional quality.

Summary: This study synthesized a new hybrid polymer called ZOPAT and tested its effectiveness in treating textile wastewater. The results showed that ZOPAT had significant potential in removing color, chemical oxygen demand, and suspended solids. Compared to commercial Polyaluminium chloride, ZOPAT produced larger and stronger flocs and required a shorter coagulation time. The study also found that ZOPAT was easy to operate and had a one-unit dosing system.

Summary: The study showed that mild high hydrostatic pressure treatment of whole carrots can increase the content of free and bound phenolic compounds while maintaining carotenoid levels. This processing method can enhance the nutraceutical properties of carrots, making them suitable for use as new functional foods or raw materials in the production of food and beverages.
