Impact of conventional and emerging processing methods on alternative breads- a comprehensive review and meta-analysis.

An increasing consumer demand for plant-based and high-protein options, motivated by health and sustainability, has resulted in a surge of food innovation in this area. Incorporating alternative plant sources, such as pulses and pseudocereals, has been proven to enhance the nutritional profile of baked products. However, these can also negatively impact the yeasted bread acceptability.

Protein digestibility and techno-functional performance of milk-alternative prototypes based on combinations of lentil and cereal protein.

Lentil protein isolate was combined with proteins from oat, rice, brewer's spent grain (BSGP) and wheat to achieve plant-based milk alternatives (PBMA) with improved protein quality and functionality. Due to the complementary amino acid (AA) profile of pulse protein which is high in lysine, and cereal protein which is high in sulphur amino acids, their combination at an optimised ratio resulted in a protein blend with a significantly improved indispensable amino acid score (IAAS) compared to the single ingredients. All protein combinations with lentil except for wheat resulted in a full IAAS for adults.

Impact of low FODMAP sourdough bread on gut microbiota using an colonic fermentation model.

This study explores the development of whole-grain sourdough bread with reduced FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) content to offer dietary solutions for individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Three sourdough breads were prepared using different lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains including FST1.7 (SD-FST1.

Anatomic Risk Factors for Lateral Patellar Instability.

With an incidence of approximately 42 per 100,000 persons annually, patellar instability is a debilitating condition that can result in dysfunction of the normal patellar tracking and potential cartilage damage. The stability of the patellofemoral (PF) joint involves an intricate relationship between muscular forces, soft tissues, trochlear and patellar geometry, and limb alignment. Several anatomic patellar risk factors (APRFs) have been identified including patella alta (Caton Deschamps >1.

Patellofemoral instability part 2 (Bony procedure for patellar surgical stabilization): State of the art.

Surgery for patellofemoral instability is usually considered in patients with recurrent patellar dislocation and after a first-time patellar dislocation in the presence of either an associated osteochondral fracture or high risk of recurrence due to the presence of several risk factors. Risk factors include demographics such as age, contralateral dislocation, as well as anatomic risk factors (ARF) such as abnormal coronal and rotational alignment, trochlear dysplasia, lateral quadriceps vector, and patella alta. Surgery with soft tissue procedures includes restoring the medial patellar restraints and balancing the lateral side of the joint, which can be successful in most patients.
