Abstract The confectionery industry is increasingly adopting new solutions and possible formulations to expand the ranges of chocolate products that support food styles linked either cultural or health choices. chemical-physical characteristics chocolates (dark milk) produced with traditional intended for vegan demanding less simple sugars consumers (with a 10% reduction in calorific value), were analysed. effects substitution milk coconut copra, almond isolated soy proteins, replacement sucrose sugars, stevia erythritol, have been accounted by analysing texture, rheology water activity, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) fast field cycling (FFC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry. plant-based sample showed lower values hardness adhesiveness texture analysis, larger peak melting behaviour at DSC. Moreover, powder caused more than halving yield stress similar decrease apparent Casson viscosity. crystallisation cocoa butter substituted-sugar involved β V form, most desirable crystal form high-quality chocolate. Results FFC NMR relaxometry allowed identification differently sized aggregates whose chemical nature discussed. data confirm those rheological DSC investigations.

Aging is associated with a decline in muscle mass and function, leading to increased risk for mobility limitations frailty. Dietary interventions incorporating specific nutrients, such as pea proteins or inulin, have shown promise attenuating age-related loss. This study aimed investigate the effect of given inulin on skeletal old rats. Old male rats (20 months old) were randomly assigned one two diet groups 16 weeks: ‘PEA’ group receiving pea-protein-based diet, ‘PEA + INU’ same protein-based supplemented inulin. Both showed significant postprandial stimulation p70 S6 kinase phosphorylation rate after consumption proteins. However, PEA INU preservation time together decreased MuRF1 transcript levels. In addition, specifically PGC1-α expression key mitochondrial enzyme activities plantaris These findings suggest that dietary supplementation combination has potential attenuate Further research warranted explore underlying mechanisms determine optimal dosage duration intervention translation human studies.

Many modern diseases are not associated premature mortality but decreased quality of aged patients and an excessive accumulation various toxic compounds the body during life. Today, scientists especially interested finding that can help increase healthy lifespan by detoxifying body. Phytotherapy specific approaches used alternative medicine to remove toxins from Worldwide, research conducted identify medicinal plant-derived molecules that, few or no side effects, may protect liver other organs. This review provides updated information about detoxification process, traditional use most effective plants, their active metabolites as agents, mechanisms pathways involved process.

High-fat diets contribute to various metabolic disorders. Inulin supplementation has been shown reduce appetite, lower food intake, and promote weight loss. Although there is evidence that the endocannabinoid system effects in prefrontal cortex, studies investigating of inulin on are limited. This study investigated impact obesity through cortex. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were fed one four over 12 weeks. Findings indicated a high-fat diet led obesity, whereas reduced intake supported Consequently, both prevented significantly decreased expressions
