Seaweed Nutritional Value and Bioactive Properties: Insights from , , and .

This study investigates the nutritional composition and bioactive properties of (dulse), (knotted wrack), and (Irish moss). Understanding the nutritional values of these seaweeds is very important due to their potential health benefits, especially their antioxidant properties and cytotoxic activities, which point to their ability to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Comprehensive analyses were conducted to assess protein content, amino acid composition, mineral profile, fatty acids, polyphenols, total carotenoids, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxicity against cervical (HeLa), and colon (HCT-116) cell lines.

Stigmasterol and its esters encapsulated in liposomes: Characterization, stability, and derivative formation.

Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes were encapsulated with free stigmasterol (ST), stigmasteryl myristate (ME), and stigmasteryl oleate (OE). Their quality was determined using TEM, FT-IR spectroscopy, zeta potential and hydrodynamic diameter. The prepared liposomes were heated at 60 and 180 °C.

Potato Protein-Based Vegan Burgers Enriched with Different Sources of Iron and Fiber: Nutrition, Sensory Characteristics, and Antioxidants before and after In Vitro Digestion.

The aim of this research was to develop a technology for the production of plant-based burgers (PBBs) based on potato protein, also containing high content of iron and appropriately selected fats. The produced PBBs were characterized in terms of their nutritional and bioactive properties both before and after the in vitro digestion process. It was found that the produced burger was characterized by high protein content, ranging from 20.

The Effect of High-Temperature Heating on Amounts of Bioactive Compounds and Antiradical Properties of Refined Rapeseed Oil Blended with Rapeseed, Coriander and Apricot Cold-Pressed Oils.

Cold-pressed oils are rich sources of bioactive substances, which may protect triacylglycerols from degradation during frying. Nevertheless, these substances may decompose under high temperature. This work considers the content of bioactive substances in blends and their changes during high-temperature heating.

Characterization of Selected Microalgae Species as Potential Sources of Nutrients and Antioxidants.

Microalgae are exceptional organisms from a nutritional perspective, boasting an array of bioactive compounds that have long justified their incorporation into human diets. In this study, we explored the potential of five microalgae species: sp., , , , and .
