Antihyperglycemic and hypoglycemic activity of Mayan plant foods in rodent models J. Sci. Food Agric. (IF 2.614) Pub Date : 2021-01-08 Jonatan Jafet Uuh‐Narvaez; Elizabeth Negrete‐León; Juan José Acevedo‐Fernández; Maira Rubí Segura‐Campos
Postprandial hyperglycemia and decreased insulin secretion are relevant to risk factors in the development of type 2 diabetes and its complications. Plant foods with antidiabetic properties could be an affordable alternative in the prevention and treatment of this disease. In the present study, the antihyperglycemic and hypoglycemic activity of Bixa orellana, Psidium guajava L., Cucurbita moschata

Effect of pre‐frying on distribution of protons and physicochemical qualities of mackerel J. Sci. Food Agric. (IF 2.614) Pub Date : 2021-01-31 Wei Zhang; Shasha Cheng; Siqi Wang; Kuan Yi; Shan Sun; Junxin Lin; Mingqian Tan; Dongmei Li
In this work, low‐field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF‐NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging were used to investigate the changes in protons (from water and oil) distribution of mackerel during the frying process. The relationship between proton migration and some physicochemical indexes was established by partial least squares regression (PLSR). The changing mechanism of the quality characteristics

Efficient biorefinery of whole cassava for citrate production using Aspergillus niger mutated by atmospheric and room temperature plasma and enhanced co‐saccharification strategy J. Sci. Food Agric. (IF 2.614) Pub Date : 2021-01-20 Baoshi Wang; Fengling Tan; Feifei Yu; Hua Li; Mingxia Zhang
The non‐grain crop cassava has attracted intense attention in the biorefinery process. However, efficient biorefinery of whole cassava is faced with some challenges due to the existence of strain inhibition and refractory cellulose during the citrate production process.

Purified anthocyanins from Zea mays L. cob ameliorates chronic liver injury in mice via modulating of oxidative stress and apoptosis J. Sci. Food Agric. (IF 2.614) Pub Date : 2021-01-25 Hong‐Xin Cui; Yang Luo; Yue‐Yue Mao; Ke Yuan; Song‐Heng Jin; Xiang‐Tao Zhu; Bing‐Wei Zhong
Purple corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the main economic crops in China and has been used in the treatment of cystitis, urinary infections and obesity. However, purple corncobs, the by‐product remaining after processing and having an intense purple‐black color, are normally disposed of as waste or used as animal feed. Therefore, to further expand the medicinal value of purple corncob, its content was

Role of non‐thermal treatments and fermentation with probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum on in vitro bioaccessibility of bioactives from vegetable juice J. Sci. Food Agric. (IF 2.614) Pub Date : 2021-01-27 Kubra Dogan; Perihan Kubra Akman; Fatih Tornuk
Lactic acid fermentation is a natural way to increase the bioactive and functional properties of fruit and vegetable juices. In this study, the in vitro gastrointestional digestion of phenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and antioxidant activity of mixed vegetable juice was investigated as affected by fermentation with probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum and non‐thermal treatments (ultraviolet (UV) and/or

Hypoglycemic effect of low‐sugar juice derived from Hovenia dulcis on type 1 diabetes mellitus rats J. Sci. Food Agric. (IF 2.614) Pub Date : 2021-01-27 Bing Yang; Xunyu Wei; Yuxin Luo; Jianquan Kan
Fruit juice is usually rich in monosaccharides and disaccharides. A reverse osmosis separation machine was used to remove monosaccharides and disaccharides from Hovenia dulcis fruit juice, leaving behind most of the bioactive substances in a low‐sugar fruit juice (LSFJ), so as to provide a more effective treatment for diabetic patients.

Effect of cooking temperature on cooked pasta quality and sustainability J. Sci. Food Agric. (IF 2.614) Pub Date : 2021-02-04 Alessio Cimini; Matteo Cibelli; Anna R Taddei; Mauro Moresi
Everyday pasta cooking has a large environmental impact. The aims of this work were to assess the effect of cooking temperatures (TC) that were lower than the water boiling point (TBW) on the main chemico‐physical quality parameters of two pasta shapes (i.e., ziti and spaghetti) cooked at the conventional and minimum water‐to‐pasta ratios, as well as their optimum cooking time (OCT), cooking energy

Daily Brazilian green propolis intake elevates blood artepillin C levels in humans J. Sci. Food Agric. (IF 2.614) Pub Date : 2021-02-04 Jiangli Ding; Tomoh Matsumiya; Ryo Hayakari; Yuko Shiba; Shogo Kawaguchi; Kazuhiko Seya; Kayo Ueno; Tadaatsu Imaizumi
Propolis is a natural product collected by worker bees from a variety of plant species. As a type of propolis, Brazilian green propolis contains a large amount of artepillin C. Artepillin C is a cinnamic acid derivative and has been shown to have a wide variety of biological functions, including anti‐inflammatory, antiviral and antitumor activities, in both cell culture and animal models. However,

Influences of grain and protein characteristics on in vitro protein digestibility of modern and ancient wheat species J. Sci. Food Agric. (IF 2.614) Pub Date : 2021-01-21 Fengyun Ma; Byung‐Kee Baik
The resistance of proteins to gastrointestinal digestion contributes to their ability to act as allergens. Near‐complete digestion of protein in wheat products is important with respect to avoiding the potential immunogenic effects of undigested peptides. Five modern US wheat classes (soft red winter, hard winter, hard red spring, club and durum) including 17 wheat varieties, as well as three ancient
