A total of 103 volunteers (nmale = 13, nfemale = 90) were divided into four groups. The sample was numbered and bread groups were formed by random selection, but the study was completed with 103 people due to exclusion criteria. Each bread type contained 30 g of available carbohydrates. Blood glucose levels were measured at 0 (fasting), 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. Using the bioimpedance method, the body fat and muscle compositions of the volunteers (male and female) were analyzed and classified as normal (in the ideal range) and obese (over the ideal range). When the AUC values of RB and CB consumption at 60 and 120 min were compared, the AUC value of CB was significantly lower (p < 0.05). When the AUC values of BWB and CB consumption at 90 and 120 min were compared, the AUC value of CB was significantly lower (p = 0.023). CB consumption was significantly lower than RB consumption in terms of blood glucose at 90 min (p = 0.043) and AUC values at 90-120 min (p = 0.022) in normal-weight individuals. It is thought that the lowering effect of CB on blood glucose levels compared to other breads may be related to the amount of amylose. Further long-term studies involving individuals with type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity would provide more clarity on these findings.","PeriodicalId":20092,"journal":{"name":"Plant Foods for Human Nutrition","volume":"80 3","pages":"120"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144079490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physical characteristics such as seed weight, volume, density, hydration capacity, and swelling index were measured, alongside a detailed nutritional assessment that quantified moisture, ash, crude fat, fiber, protein, carbohydrate, and vitamin content (A, C, E), as well as essential minerals. Metabolic profiling was conducted using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), identifying 117 non-volatile and 135 volatile metabolites. The chloroform extract showed the highest concentration of volatile metabolites (55), while the chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts were rich in non-volatile compounds (45 and 43, respectively), including flavonoids, polyphenols, and organic acids, which are associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Multivariate analysis, using supervised partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), identified differential metabolites, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed the involvement of metabolic pathways such as unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, and Drug metabolism - other enzymes.

In this study, the influence of plant ontogeny on the antioxidant capacity and bioaccessibility of total phenolic compounds (TPC) and SFN in 2-, 4- and 6-day-old broccoli sprouts was investigated. The antioxidant capacity was measured with Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP), 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays, the TPC content with the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the SFN content with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Analyses were performed on both undigested and digested samples following the in vitro digestion protocol (INFOGEST 2.0). The TPC and the antioxidant capacity measured by the ABTS method were higher in the 4-day-old sprouts, while the antioxidant capacity measured by the FRAP and DPPH methods and the SFN content by HPLC were higher in the 2-day-old sprouts. In the digested samples, both TPC and antioxidant capacity by the FRAP and ABTS methods increased as the sprouts matured. However, SFN content remained higher in 2-day-old sprouts, gradually decreasing as germination progressed. Thus, TPC bioaccessibility increased with germination time, while SFN decreased, probably due to degradation or bioconversion during gastrointestinal digestion.","PeriodicalId":20092,"journal":{"name":"Plant Foods for Human Nutrition","volume":"80 2","pages":"119"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144039251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that these varieties exhibit significant differences in their protein, lipid, ash, fiber, and carbohydrate profiles in both raw and cooked states. Generally, cooking tends to increase proteins and carbohydrates while decreasing lipids and ashes, although these changes vary depending on the variety. The importance of cooking time in the culinary quality of beans is noteworthy. Varieties requiring shorter cooking times are generally preferred due to their tender texture and pleasant taste. Water absorption processes and seed coat permeability play a crucial role in determining these cooking times. Regarding nutritional implications, we observed that cooking can significantly impact the caloric content of beans, with some varieties experiencing increases while others show decreases. This phenomenon underscores the importance of understanding how the cooking process affects the nutritional quality of foods. These findings are of paramount importance in selecting suitable varieties based on culinary preferences and nutritional needs, thereby contributing to promoting a balanced and healthy diet.","PeriodicalId":20092,"journal":{"name":"Plant Foods for Human Nutrition","volume":"80 2","pages":"116"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144035463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High salt intake has been known to cause hypertension and CKD, however, it is still unclear whether it also affects gut microbiota in CKD mice. This article first studied the salutary effects of poricoic acid A (PAA), a natural triterpenoid from Poria cocos, on high salt diet-induced CKD in kunming mice. It was demonstrated that the administration of PAA by oral gavage (20 mg/kg·bw) could decrease the kidney index and urinary protein levels, prevent the kidney tubule dilated and renal fibrosis, and activated the expression of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in kidney. In addition, 16 S rRNA-based microbiota analysis indicated that PAA ameliorated intestinal microbiota dysbiosis caused by high-salt-diet and particularly enhanced the abundances of beneficial microbiota, such as Lactobacillus and Akkermansia, followed by a significant increase in the levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Meanwhile, PAA improved intestinal barrier damage and increased the expression of intestinal tight junction protein. In summary, these experiments demonstrated that PAA enhances the growth of probiotics while decreasing the abundance of endotoxin-producing bacteria. This dual action contributes to the amelioration of intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction and mitigates the impact of a high-salt diet on renal interstitial fibrosis in mice.","PeriodicalId":20092,"journal":{"name":"Plant Foods for Human Nutrition","volume":"80 2","pages":"115"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144037773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
