Moreover, their consumption intends to provide several therapeutic benefits, particularly the dietary fiber and phenolic compounds. Furthermore, bananas and their by-products have been found to possess antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities. In spite of countless benefits, these residues are often discarded as waste. Observing these benefits, the current review focuses on the broad range of bioactive chemical and pharmacological elements in bananas and their by-products.

The finest source of omega-3 fatty acids for those who do not consume seafood is flaxseed. Flaxseeds have lignin, of which primary lignan is secoisolariciresinol diglycoside, with low amounts of isolariciresinol, lariciresinol, pinoresinol, and matairesinol. Flaxseed is probably safe for most grown-ups. The daily number of bowel movements may increase if flaxseed is included in the diet. Additionally, it may result in side effects such as gas, bloating, stomach pain, and nausea. Higher dosages are probably going to cause more secondary effects. Due to the nutritional profile of flaxseeds, they exhibit various health benefits which include; improving cardiac health, improving brain development, improving skin health, improving gut health, maintaining blood sugar level, reducing the risk of renal diseases, and several types of cancers.

Conventional extraction technologies for PS commonly used in practice were Soxhlet extraction and maceration method. Due to their inherent molecular structure, PS exhibits poor stability to heat, light, oxygen, pH, and metal ions. It is of great significance to find a reliable analytical technique to extract PS and oxidation products from food substances and an accurate detection method of PS in different foods due to the instability of plant sterol and the interference of complex plant-based matrices. Generally, it is common to use GC–MS to determine the composition of total PS and their oxidation products, which requires standard monomer PS.

{"title":"Recent advances on the emulsifying properties of dietary polysaccharides","authors":"Chao Ai","doi":"10.1002/efd2.106","DOIUrl":"10.1002/efd2.106","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Emulsion, a disperse system, generally consists of two immiscible liquids, where one of the liquids (dispersed phase) is dispersed as droplets in the other liquid (continuous phase). Taking emulsion as delivery system is a great strategy for enhancing the stability and bioavailability of bioactivity substances (Cao, et al., <span>2021</span>; Jagtiani, <span>2021</span>; Lu et al., <span>2016</span>). Thus, emulsion system is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industry. In particular, to enhance the flavor and taste of food, emulsion is also used in some common foods, such as mayonnaise, cream, and material for three-dimensional food printing (Figure 1). Emulsifier plays a key role in the formation of emulsion system. The most common emulsifiers contain small molecule surfactant, natural amphiphilic macromolecule, solid particle, and auxiliary emulsifier (Amiri-Rigi et al., <span>2023</span>). Among them, amphiphilic polysaccharides, such as pectin, gum arabic, and galactomannans, are important members of the natural amphiphilic macromolecule, and have been utilized as food-grade emulsifiers (Feng, et al., <span>2023</span>; Niu, Hou, et al., <span>2022</span>). Compared with protein, the hydrated layer formed by polysaccharides possess relatively higher steric hindrance which improves the emulsion stability (Lin, et al., <span>2020</span>). Furthermore, the low digestibility of polysaccharide in digestive tract will result in delaying release rate of the bioactivities (Anal et al., <span>2019</span>). In view of the advantage and importance of amphiphilic polysaccharides, a growing number of studies focus on the discovery of natural polysaccharides which possess the ability to stabilize oil-water interface. As shown in Figure 2, the number of publications centered on “polysaccharide and emulsion” (Indexed by WOS) gradually increased since 2011 and rapidly increased in the last 3 years (from 2019 to 2021).

Chemical stressors include persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), as well as air pollutants and both gaseous and particulate matter, which all can contribute to changes in the cellular redox status and thus to inflammation (Lee et al., <span>2018</span>; Peters et al., <span>2021</span>). For example, human PFASs exposure appears to be associated with perturbation of key hepatic metabolic pathways in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (Sen et al., <span>2022</span>). In addition, a cross-sectional analysis revealed that long-chain PFASs were related to plaque occurrence (Lind et al., <span>2017</span>). Mechanistic studies suggest that exposures to environmental pollutants could activate oxidative stress, resulting in inflammation by damaging the scavenging ability of antioxidant enzymes (e.g., superoxide dismutase or SOD) and thus causing the modification or dysregulation of downstream nuclear factor-<i>κ</i>B (NF-<i>κ</i>B)/tumor necrosis factor-<i>α</i> or Nrf2 signal pathways, as well as inducing the production of transcription of cytokines, chemokines, antimicrobial peptides, and antiapoptotic proteins (He et al., <span>2022</span>; Mudway et al., <span>2020</span>; Peters et al., <span>2021</span>).</p><p>Major routes of exposure to environmental pollutants are through contaminated food and water (Guo et al., <span>2019</span>; Saravanan et al., <span>2022</span>), and many environmental pollutants or toxicants are ubiquitous with long half-lives. Environmental toxicants in food sources also are often derived from industrial sources and from processed and packaged foods, for example, through food processing, packaging, transportation, and storage. PFASs are an example of environmental pollutants found not only in processed food and grease-resistant packaging of food but also in equipment used to prepare such food products (van Asselt et al., <span>2013</span>; Zabaleta et al., <span>2016</span>). In addition, the use of soil and water contaminated with PFAS to grow crops and feed animals intended for human food consumption can lead to PFAS entering the food supply. Therefore, exposure to environmental pollutants, and in particular POPs, is often unavoidable and a major contributor to inflammatory diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes (Guo et al., <span>2019</span>).</p><p>Even though this commentary focuses on persistent environmental pollutants as a source of environmental toxins in foodstuffs, mycotoxins in contaminated f","PeriodicalId":11436,"journal":{"name":"eFood","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/efd2.103","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43427687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
