These chemical compounds originate from different food sources like grilled or processed meat (animal-origin), flavonoids, preservatives, beverages(plant-origin) and so on. Numerous studies have explored the oncogenic properties. Additionally, these compounds also result in interrupting the humoral and cellular immune response. This review specifically concentrates on elucidating the regulatory functions of these dietary xenobiotics within the human immune system. While some, like heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are predominantly deemed harmful, certain other compounds, such as specific phenolic compounds and nitrates, have exhibited therapeutic benefits. Furthermore, the review notes the immunomodulatory role of two relatively underexplored compounds, acrylamide and maltol. This underscores the necessity to broaden the scope of investigation surrounding these compounds and this review gives a brief overview of these xenobiotics interfering with the immune system.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":566,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Biotechnology","volume":"34 9","pages":"1805 - 1817"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143784286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PCs from both species had lower contents of crude ash, crude protein, and crude lipid compared to their flour counterparts. As temperatures rose, the solubility patterns varied between flour and PC of sweet potato, while remaining consistent for potato. Potato PC had higher gelatinization temperatures compared to its flour counterpart, while sweet potato PC had lower temperatures than its flour, possibly due to the considerable loss of non-starch polysaccharide during its PC preparation. Compared to cooking, baked PCs showed a more evident inhibition on digestion.

The substrate, rice, also showed increased sensitivity to the enzyme when soaked under high pressure. Although there was no significant difference in the protein content of rice by degree of polishing, greater protein hydrolysis was observed in 130% polished rice than in white rice during the high-pressure enzymatic treatment.
