The aim of this study is to investigate the upcycling of canola leaves powder (CL) to develop wheat bread with an increased potential nutritional value. The impact of including 5 g/100 g CL in combination with 20 g/100 g freeze-dried sourdough (flour weight basis) was investigated on the technological and nutritional properties of wheat dough and bread. Furthermore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of sourdough acidification on starch digestibility in CL-enriched bread. Incorporation of CL and/or sourdough prolonged dough development time and reduced dough stability during mixing. GlutoPeak analysis revealed a rapid gluten aggregation when CL was incorporated. From a nutritional perspective, breads enriched with CL exhibited higher dietary fiber and total phenolic content, while sourdough incorporation lowered bread pH. The harder crumb texture resulting from CL inclusion was counteracted by the softening effect of sourdough. Image analysis further showed a finer and more homogeneous crumb structure due to leaves incorporation, characterized by increased pore density and reduced mean pore area. Regarding starch digestibility, CL showed a tendency to reduce the in vitro starch hydrolysis rate (k) and combined with the sourdough, further slowed down starch hydrolysis. Results suggest that using CL in breadmaking can be a valuable strategy to valorize this by-product within a circular economy framework.</p>","PeriodicalId":20092,"journal":{"name":"Plant Foods for Human Nutrition","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12989014/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147459185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For that purpose, kynurenine, kynurenic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-propionic acid, phenol, and p-cresol levels were analyzed using High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Tryptophan metabolite levels ranged from 62.4 to 718.5 µg/100 g for kynurenine, 1.1 to 340.0 µg/100 g for kynurenic acid, 0.0 to 36.6 µg/100 g for indole-3-acetic acid, and 0.0 to 72.5 µg/100 g for indole-3-propionic acid. Tyrosine metabolite levels ranged from 4.4 to 115.7 µg/100 g for phenol and 0.0 to 7.2 µg/100 g for p-cresol. Traditional, fermented, and aged products such as tarhana appear to contain high levels of various metabolites of tryptophan metabolism. Phenol levels were also found to be high in tarhana products and aged dairy products. p-cresol levels remained generally low, with significantly high levels found only in aged cheddar cheese. These results suggest that microbial fermentation and long-term maturation may be associated with differences in the biochemical composition of the fermented foods. It is of great importance to evaluate fermented products in terms of metabolites with neuroactive and inflammatory potential.</p>","PeriodicalId":20092,"journal":{"name":"Plant Foods for Human Nutrition","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12975850/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147434667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
