Innovative Use of sp. Biomass for the Sustainable Adsorption of Aflatoxin B and Ochratoxin A in Aqueous Solutions.

This research investigates the efficacy of sp. biomass as an effective adsorbent for the removal of AFB and OTA from aqueous solutions. Several factors, including contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH level, and initial mycotoxin concentration, were analyzed to evaluate their impact on adsorption efficacy.

Metabolomics and flavoromics analysis of chemical constituent changes during roasting of germinated Sacha inchi ( L.).

This study examined the changes in metabolites together with the flavor profiles of germinated Sacha inchi seeds during roasting by using gas chromatography. The results indicated that roasting partially increased the browning index, amino acid levels, total phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity, but slightly decreased the levels of reducing sugars. Oxidized and rancid compounds were significantly decreased at a 180 °C roasting temperature.

Metabolite-Flavor Profile, Phenolic Content, and Antioxidant Activity Changes in Sacha Inchi ( L.) Seeds during Germination.

Sacha inchi seeds are abundant in nutrients such as linolenic acids and amino acids. Germination can further enhance their nutritional and medicinal value; however, germination time is positively correlated with off-flavor in germinated seeds. This study investigated the changes in the metabolite and flavor profiles and evaluated the nutritional quality of sacha inchi seeds 8 days after germination (DAG).
