Maltodextrin from Sweet Cassava: A Promising Endurance Enhancer.

The effects of maltodextrin and crude extract from sweet cassava on exercise endurance were examined in the male Wistar rat. The rats were randomly assigned to either an exercise training group or a non-exercise training group. Both groups were further divided into subgroups that received either a control, crude extract (250 or 500 mg/kg), or maltodextrin (250 or 500 mg/kg) orally once daily for 16 days.

A Culinary and Medicinal Gem: Exploring the Phytochemical and Functional Properties of Thai Basil.

This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the potential health benefits of Thai basil extracts from two species, var. and cv. Jumbo 4320, by investigating their bioactivities, phytochemical composition, and in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antithrombotic activities.

Boosting L. Seed Oil Yield: An Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Interference System Fuels SC-CO Extraction Breakthrough.

This study used supercritical fluid extraction to successfully enhance the conditions for extracting oil from pomegranate seeds. To determine the optimal extraction conditions for maximizing pomegranate oil yield, the researchers employed a Box-Behnken design experimental strategy, involving three parameters with three levels each: extraction pressure, extraction temperature, and extraction time. To determine the optimal optimization conditions, the Response Surface Method (RSM) and the Artificial Neural Fuzzy Intelligent System (ANFIS) were also used.

Evaluation of Short-Term Toxicity and Cholesterol-Lowering Effects in Rats Exposed to Dietary Fiber Derived from Cassava Pulp.

The dietary fiber extracted from cassava pulp, composed of crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and cellulose content, demonstrates promise as a functional food ingredient. The study's objectives encompassed the assessment of short-term toxicity and the evaluation of its potential cholesterol-lowering effects. The results indicated that cassava pulp dietary fiber (CDF) is well-tolerated with non-toxic thresholds determined at 10.

Optimum aquaculture and drying conditions for W (L.) Wimn.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of aquaculture and the optimum conditions for drying duckweed plants to maintain the highest nutritional value and bioactive substances. Protein quantification was used to screen duckweed plants subjected to the 14 treatments under aquaculture conditions. Proximate analysis of three aquaculture conditions showed the highest quantification of protein.

Acute and sub-chronic toxicity study of Rang Chuet ( Lindl.) extracts and its antioxidant activities.

Rang Chuet ( Lindl.) is a Thai medicinal plant with pharmacological properties: it can be used as an antidote, for decreasing body temperature and it is addictive. This study investigated total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities of Rang Chuet extracts, and its acute and sub-chronic toxicities of Rang Chuet extracts.

Entrapment in food-grade transglutaminase cross-linked gelatin-maltodextrin microspheres protects Lactobacillus spp. during exposure to simulated gastro-intestinal juices.

Dietary intake of probiotic bacteria has been shown to impart health effects, however, maintaining viable cells in foods and during passage of the adverse conditions in the upper gastro-intestinal tract is often a problem. The objective of this research was to develop and characterize novel food-grade phase-separated gelatin-maltodextrin (G-MD) microspheres, where the gelatin was cross-linked with transglutaminase (TGase), to determine if encapsulated probiotic lactic acid bacteria were protected during exposure to simulated upper gastro-intestinal tract conditions. The stability, size, structure and protective ability of G-MD microspheres as a function of different TGase concentrations and gelatin bloom strengths were tested.

Modified Dietary Fiber from Cassava Pulp and Assessment of Mercury Bioaccessibility and Intestinal Uptake Using an In Vitro Digestion/Caco-2 Model System.

The ability of modified dietary fiber (MDF) generated from cassava pulp to modulate the bioaccessibility and intestinal absorption of heavy metals may be helpful to mitigate health risk associated with select foods including select fish high in methyl mercury. Using a coupled in vitro digestion/Caco-2 human intestinal cell model, the reduction of fish mercury bioaccessibility and intestinal uptake by MDF was investiaged. MDF was prepared from cassava pulp, a byproduct of tapioca production.
