Article Synopsis
- There is an increasing need to incorporate underutilized crops like perilla seeds into mainstream agriculture to improve nutrition and sustainability in food systems.
- Perilla seeds are nutrient-dense, high in ω-3 fatty acids and other beneficial compounds, which provide various health benefits such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
- The review discusses advances in genetic research for crop improvement and explores the applications of perilla seeds in functional foods and the food industry, aiming to promote sustainable agricultural practices and product innovation.
Pearl millet (PM) is a nutri-cereal rich in various macro and micronutrients required for a balanced diet. Its grains have a unique phenolic and micronutrient composition; however, the lower bioaccessibility of nutrients and rancidity of flour during storage are the major constraints in its consumption and wide popularity. Here, to explore the effect of different thermal processing methods, , hydrothermal (HT), microwave (MW), and infrared (IR) treatments, on the digestion of starch, phenolics, and microelements (Fe and Zn), an digestion model consisting of oral, gastric and intestinal digestion was applied to PM rotis.
