As consumer awareness grows regarding the environmental and health impacts of animal-based products, plant-based alternatives are gaining popularity in developed countries. Plant-based proteins, like soy protein isolate (SPI), are valued for their sustainability and ability to complement animal proteins. SPI is commonly used in plant-based yogurts due to its high-quality protein, strong gelling capacity, and support for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) growth.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the effects of a specific enzyme (FAEA) expressed in maize that targets the apoplast, focusing on its activity during the late stages of plant senescence and after storing the plant material.
- FAEA levels increased until the reproductive (R) stage but dropped during full leaf senescence (R+), while the enzyme remained stable even after six months of cold storage.
- The research found that FAEA expression led to decreased cell wall components like ferulates and improved the breakdown (saccharification) of plant material by enzymes, making it easier to extract sugars at later development stages.
Examination of the Bioavailability and Bioconversion of Wheat Bran-Bound Ferulic Acid: Insights into Gastrointestinal Processing and Colonic Metabolites.

The postingestion journey and bioconversion of wheat bran-bound ferulic acid, a known beneficial phytochemical, remain insufficiently understood. This study aims to systematically investigate its bioaccessibility, bioavailability, excretion, and colonic metabolism, both and . Initial analysis confirmed the abundance and bioactivity of ferulic acid in wheat bran.

Marine brown algae produce the highly recalcitrant polysaccharide fucoidan, contributing to long-term oceanic carbon storage and climate regulation. Fucoidan is degraded by specialized heterotrophic bacteria, which promote ecosystem function and global carbon turnover using largely uncharacterized mechanisms. Here, we isolate and study two Planctomycetota strains from the microbiome associated with the alga Fucus spiralis, which grow efficiently on chemically diverse fucoidans.

Introduction: The quality of packed red blood cells (PRBC) is influenced by various factors such as the collection and processing method, storage conditions, type of bag materials used, anticoagulant properties, and donor characteristics. Studies have indicated that haemolysis in stored RBC bags is linked to male sex, older age, high haemoglobin count, and increased body mass index (BMI). The study's primary objective was to investigate whether a high BMI, as per Asian Pacific criteria among donors, is associated with an elevated haemolysis rate in stored RBC.
