Journal of Functional Foods, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 117, С. 106235 - 106235

Опубликована: Май 12, 2024

Sprouts have been considered foods with functional properties and high nutritional value. High value does not guarantee the release of compounds from food matrix during digestion process. Simulated in vitro has used to evaluate digestibility bioaccessibility nutrients phytochemicals foods, impact modulating intestinal microbiota. This review explores seed germination process on modulation Germination increased proteins starch, iron, zinc, phenolic sprouts such as wheat, rice, beans compared non-germinated grains. Studies colonic fermentation after exposure showed that were able increase diversity richness To prove bioactivity sprouts, more clinical studies should be carried out.

Nutritional Quality, Safety and Environmental Benefits of Alternative Protein Sources—An Overview

Nutrients, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(7), С. 1148 - 1148

Опубликована: Март 26, 2025

Protein is a fundamental macronutrient in the human diet. It supplies our organisms with essential amino acids, which are needed for growth and maintenance of cells tissues. Conventional protein sources, despite their complete acid profiles excellent digestibility, have proven negative impact on environment. Furthermore, production poses many ethical challenges. This review aims to present nutritional, more ethical, environmentally friendly alternatives that could serve as potential sources population. The available literature alternative has been analyzed. Based research conducted, various products identified described, including plant-based such soybeans, peas, faba beans, lupins, hemp seeds; aquatic algae, microalgae, water lentils; well insect-based microbial cell-cultured meat. Despite numerous advantages, lower environmental impact, higher standards production, beneficial nutritional profiles, not without limitations. These include bioavailability certain presence antinutritional compounds, technological challenges, issues related consumer acceptance. Nevertheless, proper dietary composition, optimization processes, further advancements, presented can constitute valuable sustainable growing global

Опубликована: Сен. 15, 2023

Germinated edible seeds and sprouts have attracted consumers because of their nutritional values health benefits. To ensure the microbial safety seed sprout, emerging processing methods involving physical fields (PFs), having characteristics high efficiency environmental safety, are increasingly proposed as effective decontamination technologies. This review summarizes recent progress on application PFs to germinating seeds, including impact quality associated influencing mechanisms in germination. The effectiveness, scope, limitation various techniques, ultrasound, microwave, radio frequency, infrared heating, irradiation, pulsed light, plasma, high-pressure processing, symmetrically reviewed. Good potential for improving germination sprout growth is also described promoting accumulation bioactive compounds sprouts, subsequently enhancing antioxidant capacity under favorable conditions. Moreover, challenges future directions germinated finally proposed. attempts provide an in-depth understanding effects changes properties a theoretical reference development safe sprouted seeds.

Metalloenzymes play an important role in the regulation of many biological functions. An effective way to prevent deficiencies essential minerals human diets is biofortification plant materials. The process enriching crop sprouts under hydroponic conditions easiest and cheapest conduct control. In this study, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties Arkadia Tonacja underwent with Fe, Zn, Mg, Cr solutions media at four concentrations (0, 50, 100, 200 µg g-1) over seven days. Moreover, study first combine sprout UV-C (λ = 254 nm) radiation treatment for seed surface sterilization. results showed that was suppressing germination contamination by microorganisms. energy slightly affected but remained a high level (79-95%). influence non-chemical sterilization on seeds tested innovative manner using scanning electron microscope (SEM) EXAKT thin-section cutting. applied reduced neither growth development nor nutrient bioassimilation. general, easily accumulate during period. A very strong correlation between ion concentration microelement assimilation tissues (R2 > 0.9) detected. quantitative assays performed atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) flame atomization method were correlated morphological evaluation order determine optimum individual elements solution. best indicated 7-day cultivation 100 g-1 Fe (218% 322% better accumulation comparison control condition) Zn (19 29 times richer zinc compared without supplementation). maximum product magnesium did not exceed 40% intensity sample. best-developed grown solution 50 Cr. contrast, clearly toxic sprouts.

Determination of Ten Plant Growth Regulators in Bean Sprouts by Mixed Solid Phase Extraction Columns Separation and LC-MS/MS

Processes, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11(9), С. 2586 - 2586

Опубликована: Авг. 29, 2023

(1) Background: Plant growth regulators (PGRs) can accelerate or improve the quality and quantity of bean sprouts but are forbidden to use in sprout cultivation, as sprouting process’s increased chemicals will disturb PGRs analysis. This article aimed increase accuracy level sensitivity LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous analysis 10 after mixed solid phase extraction (SPE) purification. (2) Methods: An detection kinds was established based on ESI ionization positive ion mode 6-furfurylaminopurine (6-KT), paclobutrazol (PBZ), indole-2-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric (IBA) negative gibberellin A3 (GA3), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic (2,4-D), 4-chlorophenoxyacetic (4-CPA), forchlorfenuron (FCF), thidiazuron (TDZ), 6-benzyl adenine (6-BA). (3) Results: The PGR compounds were detected within a concentration range 1.0–50 ng/mL. average recovery 68.3–97.3% with relative standard deviations (RSD) 4.6–15.2% (n = 6); limit (LOD) quantification (LOQ) found be 2 5 ng/g, respectively. surveyed 36 soybean 33 mungbean sprouts; results showed that 4-CPA IAA sprouts, Five samples contained both IAA.

Chia seeds have gained significant attention due to their unique composition and potential health benefits, including high dietary fibers, omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, phenolic compounds. These components contribute antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects, as well ability improve glucose metabolism dyslipidemia. Germination is recognized a promising strategy enhance the nutritional value bioavailability of chia seeds. seed sprouts been found exhibit increased essential amino acid content, elevated levels fiber total phenols, enhanced antioxidant capability. However, there limited information available concerning dynamic changes bioactive compounds during germination process key factors influencing these alterations in biosynthetic pathways. Additionally, influence various processing conditions, such temperature, light exposure, duration, on requires further investigation. This review aims provide comprehensive analysis profile that occur germination. Furthermore, for tailored practices produce with personalized nutrition, targeting specific needs, also discussed.
