In this article, the reports that used SP as an innovative ingredient in the formulation of bakery and pasta products were reviewed. The results of the examined studies indicated that the techno-functional characteristics of the products are not negatively affected if the optimum SP level is added to the food formulations. It seems that the most crucial concern of incorporating SP into different cereal-based products is its significant effect on their sensory properties such as odor, taste and overall acceptance. Several studies have investigated methods to overcome this major challenge: such as the use of ethanol-treated SP, encapsulation and application of flavor-improving agents. Using ethanol to remove SP pigments and using SP powder treated with ethanol in the product formulations can improve the sensory properties of the product. Moreover, encapsulation of SP by covering its odor could generally enhance the customer's satisfaction.

There are types of processing: high-pressure homogenization (HAP) and high hydrostatic pressure processing (HPP), depending on the pressure values applied and their specific purposes. This review explored the potential of high-pressure (HP) technology as an alternative to heat treatments for developing probiotic foods containing free and microencapsulated microorganisms, considering recent searches in ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. This technology increases the viability and resistance of probiotics during processing, improving their functionality, maintaining the nutritional and sensory properties of the food, inactivating pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms and enzymes, and increasing the safety and shelf life of the food, being efficient for the microencapsulation of probiotics, providing them with protection and stability and enabling the development of innovative functional products. New wall materials such as natural polysaccharides and vegetable proteins have been studied for high-pressure microencapsulation, standing out for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, food safety, and desirable functional properties.

To make the process cost-effective, a conventional solvent extraction method was used for extraction of polyphenolic compounds from berry pomace. Spray drying was used to co-encapsulate polyphenols and probiotics by using plant-based carrier materials (pea protein isolate with gum Arabic). Spray dried powder was evaluated for encapsulation efficiency, gastrointestinal stability, bio-accessibility index, along with functional, structural and thermal characteristics.

In this study, D-serine alleviated body weight loss, colon shortening, and intestinal barrier damage in mice with acute colitis. Additionally, D-serine helped maintain gut microbiota balance by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria, including <em>Bifidobacterium</em>, and decreasing the harmful bacteria, such as <em>Escherichia.

Nevertheless, inhibiting α1,2-fucosylation impaired D-serine-mediated alleviation of colitis, highlighting the importance of α1,2-fucosylation upregulation in this process. D-serine significantly increased the trans-epithelial resistance of normal colonic epithelial cells, which was impaired by α1,2-fucosylation inhibition. Additionally, D-serine enhanced α1,2-fucosylation of macrophages (RAW264.7 cells) and reduced the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α.
