Fortification of Se is vital importance for both nutritional demand and prevention of Se-deficiency-related diseases. To better understand t selenium distribution, concentration, speciation, its effects on proteins, and cytotoxic activity, the biofortification of exogenous Se in peanut was conducted in this study. Our data have shown that foliar spraying of Se-riched fertilizer was more efficient for biotransformation of inorganic Se to organic Se by peanut plant.

Some evidence suggests that edible insects could be used to treat malnutrition following protein deficiency. However, additional studies are needed to better assess the potential of edible insects as a therapeutic food supplement and their long-term impact on recovery from malnutrition. The goals of this study were to investigate the effectiveness of a cricket-based diet in recovery from protein-malnutrition in early life, and to compare cricket protein to more traditional sources used for food fortification and supplementation.

Background: Grain legumes are appreciated for their contribution to dietary protein and micronutrient intake in addition to their benefits in providing income and replenishing soil fertility. They offer potential benefits in developing countries where future food demand is increasing and both undernutrition and overweight co-exist. We studied the current and potential role of grain legumes on protein, both quantity and quality, and micronutrient adequacy in the diet of rural Ghanaian infants and young children.

The dissipation and final residues of picoxystrobin in peanut and soil were determined by a modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method and high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The dissipation and final residue of picoxystrobin at three different provinces (Hebei, Hubei, and Shandong) in China were studied. The fortification experiments at three different spiking levels of 0.

Peanut represents one of the most harmful allergenic foods capable of triggering severe and sometimes lethal reactions in allergic consumers upon ingestion of even small amounts. Several proteins capable of inducing allergic reactions that have been recognised by patients' IgE antibodies have been identified from this nut source. Methods mainly based on ELISA assays have been developed in order to detect peanuts in several food commodities.
