Food and Function

Red raspberries decreased the expression of proteins linked to inflammatory/stress response and cardiac remodeling in hearts of obese diabetic mice.

Flavor stability of pea protein isolates (PPIs) during storage was investigated.

Strategies that enhance the Fe bioavailability of the bean are of keen interest to nutritionists, bean breeders and growers.

Retention of intact plant cells to the end of the small intestine leads to transport of entrapped macronutrients such as starch and protein for colonic microbial fermentation, and is a promising mechanism to increase the content of resistant starch in diets.

Dietary fibers (DFs), widely used as food additives to replace fat, can benefit metabolic disorders.

Similarin vitrofermentation rates, extents, and levels of short chain fatty acid metabolites suggest that soluble and insoluble fibre fractions from refined flour (and models for baking and extrusion) are likely to have similar large intestinal nutritional functionality.

In this paper, a set of complementary techniques was used to characterize surface and bulk structures of an anisotropic Soy Protein Isolate (SPI)–vital wheat gluten blend after it was subjected to heat and simple shear flow in a Couette Cell.
