Objectives: The aim of the trial was to evaluate effects of high dietary levels of Se-enriched yeast on selenium concentrations in muscle and liver tissue and on the meat quality traits in rats.
Design: The experimental feed mixtures were fed to Wistar Albino rats for a period of 10 weeks. They differed in the dose and in the form of Se supplement. Supplemental dose of 0.3 mg.kg-1 of Se per one kilogram of feed was used in group I (n = 10, sodium selenite) and in group II (n = 10, Se-enriched yeast). Elevated dose 2 mg.kg-1 Se per one kilogram of feed was used in group III (n = 10, sodium selenite) and in group IV (n = 10, Se-enriched yeast).
Results: The use of elevated dietary Se level (2 mg.kg-1) in the form of sodium selenite did not increase lipid oxidation (malondialdehyde content) in muscles nor influenced meat quality traits. The use of elevated dietary Se level in the form of Se-enriched yeast resulted in higher Se muscle concentrations accompanied by increased of malondialdehyde content. The meat quality traits remained unaffected.
Conclusion: High selenium concentrations in muscle produced by Se-enriched yeast were accompanied by elevated MDA levels, but it did not negatively influence meat quality traits.

Dough fermentation is an effective method for selenium conversion. This study investigated the effects of low NaSeO concentrations on the morphology, texture, fermentation properties, Se species, Se bioaccessibility, and antioxidant capacity of two types of yeast-leaved steamed bread. The results indicated that NaSeO did not significantly affect the specific volume; but it did result in increased hardness.

Selenium (Se) is an essential nutrient for the human body and breeding highly Se-enriched Chinese cabbage varieties is an important means of addressing Se deficiency in individuals in certain regions. The genus Brassica has a strong ability to enrich Se; however, the primary molecular mechanism of Se enrichment remains unclear. We screened for high- and low-Se-enriched Chinese cabbage varieties from 39 different genotypes and identified a key candidate gene for Se enrichment, namely, BrNPF2.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how Selenium-enriched yeast autolytic peptides (SeYAP) affect dough properties, particularly focusing on gluten interactions.
- SeYAP significantly extended dough development time by 131% and stability by 28%, while also making the dough softer and less viscous.
- The research identified several Se-enriched peptides that change gluten structure through specific interactions, which can enhance dough quality by reducing its water binding capacity and improving fluidity.

The antioxidant and immune systems of weaned piglets are not fully mature and are also subjected to serious stress challenges related to oxidative stress and inflammation. Selenium (Se) is an essential element for pigs, with documented roles encompassing antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties via selenoproteins. Sodium selenite and Se-enriched yeast are commonly acknowledged as conventional sources of Se for piglets.
