An investigation of the antioxidant potential and bioaccumulated minerals in Tuber borchii and Tuber maculatum mycelia obtained by submerged fermentation.

Submerged fermentation of Tuber borchii and T. maculatum was performed to produce mycelia towards evaluating their bioactive potential and probable toxicity. Truffle mycelia had been mostly explored for biopolymers previously.

Nutraceutical Potential of Leaf Hydro-Ethanolic Extract of the Edible Halophyte L.

Aromatic halophytes represent an exceptional source of natural bioactive compounds for the food industry. L., also known as sea fennel, is a halophyte plant colonizing cliffs and coastal dunes along Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts.

Influence of cultivation sites on sterol, nitrate, total phenolic contents and antioxidant activity in endive and stem chicory edible products.

Chicories produce a wide range of vegetables with important nutritional value. We determined the variation of sterol, total polyphenol, nitrate contents and antioxidant capacity (SC, TPC, NC, AC) in endive leaves and stem-chicory novel vegetables, cultivated in two Italian regions. Within a given area, the SC was similar in smooth- and curly leafed endives (106.

The effects of fermented wheat powder (Lisosan G) on the blood lipids and oxidative status of healthy rabbits.

A number of studies have shown that whole grain products have strong antioxidant effects. Lisosan G, a powder produced from the fermentation of Triticum aestivum, has shown hepatoprotective effects. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effects of Lisosan G on the serum lipid profile and oxidative status of healthy rabbits.
