Article Synopsis

Camelina cake (CAM) is explored as a substitute for soybean meal in piglet diets, with various doses (4%, 8%, 12%) tested for impacts on growth and gut health.
The study found that higher doses of CAM negatively affected growth rates and feed intake in the early weeks post-weaning, while also increasing liver weight and gut microbiome diversity.
Overall, CAM showed potential as an alternative protein source but indicated dose-dependent challenges related to piglet growth performance.

The evolving field of food technology is increasingly dedicated to developing functional foods. This study explored bioactive peptides from sunflower protein isolate (SPI), obtained from defatted flour, a by-product of the oil processing industry. SPI underwent simulated gastrointestinal digestion and the obtained peptide-enriched fraction (PEF) showed antioxidant properties in vivo, in zebrafish.
