Effect of thermal and non-thermal processing on Technofunctional, nutritional, safety and sensorial attributes of potato powder.

Potato is a highly nutritious staple food however, it also contains some antinutrients like alkaloids, phytates, tannins, oxalates as well as pesticide residues. Therefore, this study was conducted to reduce the loads of antinutrients and pesticides in potato powder (PP) using thermal and non-thermal processing techniques. Nutritional analysis revealed that the raw PP contained significantly ( < 0.

Enhancing iron and zinc bioavailability in maize () through phytate reduction: the impact of fermentation alone and in combination with soaking and germination.

Introduction: Phytates are nutrient-binding compounds found mainly in cereals and legumes, which may significantly contribute to micronutrient malnutrition in regions where phytate-rich cereals, such as maize, are staple food.

Objectives: This study investigated how maize fermentation, both alone and in combination with soaking and germination, can reduce phytate levels and enhance the estimated bioavailability of iron and zinc.

Methods: We evaluated various fermentation methods, including spontaneous fermentation; fermentation with starter cultures, either 299v (Lp299) or yogurt containing viable ; and fermentation with Lp299 of soaked and germinated maize.

Pelvic lipomatosis-a rare diagnosis and a challenging management: a case report and literature review.

Pelvic lipomatosis (PL) involves nonmalignant excess fat growth in perirectal and perivesical areas, gaining recognition over three decades. This review addresses its clinicopathological aspects amid controversies, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive examination of current literature. This report outlines a 42-year-old man's diagnostic journey for persistent urological symptoms, ultimately identified as PL.

Impact of CT-angiography derived plaque characteristics on cardiac events in patients with a negative invasive fractional flow reserve.

Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) improves outcomes compared with angiography-guided PCI, however cardiac events still occur during long-term follow-up of FFR-negative patients. In the PREVENT study preventive PCI reduced cardiac-events in lesions which were FFR-negative (FFR > 0.80) and had intracoronary imaging defined vulnerable plaque.
