Amaranth is a Native American grain appreciated for its high nutritional properties including high mineral content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the availability of Fe, Zn and Ca from extruded products made with two varieties of amaranth and their mixtures with maize at two levels of replacement. Mineral availability was estimated using dialyzability method. The contents of Fe (64.0-84.0 mg/kg), Ca (1977.5-2348.8 mg/kg) and Zn (30.0-32.1 mg/kg) were higher in amaranth than in maize products (6.2, 19.1, 9.7 mg/kg, respectively). Mineral availability was in the range of (2.0-3.6%), (3.3-11.1%) and (1.6-11.4%) for Fe, Ca and Zn, respectively. Extruded amaranth and amaranth/maize products provide higher amount of Fe and Ca than extruded maize. Extruded amaranth products and amaranth addition to maize could be an interesting way to increase nutritional value of extruded products.

Interrogation of Enantioselectivity in the Photomediated Ring Contractions of Saturated Heterocycles.

We recently reported a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyzed enantioselective photomediated ring contraction of piperidines and other saturated heterocycles. By extruding a single heteroatom from a ring, this transformation builds desirable C(sp)-C(sp) bonds in the ring contracted products; however, the origins of enantioselectivity remain poorly understood. In this work, enantioselectivity of the ring contraction has been explored across an expanded structurally diverse substrate scope, revealing a wide range of enantioselectivities (0-99%) using two distinct CPA catalysts.

Rapid evolution of smart devices necessitates high-performance, lightweight materials for effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. TiCT MXene nanosheets are promising for such applications, yet the high solid content typically required for 3D-printable MXene inks limits their scalability and cost efficiency. In this study, we present an MXene-based ink with an ultralow solid content (0.

Research has shown various hydrolyzed proteins possessed beneficial physiological functions; however, the mechanism of how hydrolysates influence metabolism is unclear. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the effects of different sources of protein hydrolysates, being the main dietary protein source in extruded diets, on metabolism in healthy adult dogs. Three complete and balanced extruded canine diets were formulated: control chicken meal diet (CONd), chicken liver and heart hydrolysate diet (CLHd), mechanically separated chicken hydrolysate diet (CHd).

This study was examined to optimize extrusion conditions (barrel temperature, feed moisture, and blending ratios of rice, lupin, and pumpkin flour) during processing high-quality extruded products using a twin-screw extruder. A three-factor with three-level response surface methodology with a Box-Behnken design, was applied to evaluate the effects of selected processing conditions: blending ratios of lupin (10-20 %), barrel temperature (115-155 °C) and feed moisture content (14-20 %) on the functional, nutritional and sensory characteristics of the produced snack food. The independent variables significantly affected the nutritional, functional, and physical properties of the extruded snack food.

Black carrot pomace (BCP) is a by-product of colorant production, containing various valuable components with the health promoting effects. In this study, for the first time, BCP was incorporated into a starch-based extruded snack formulation using wheat semolina and corn starch. Total phenolic content, total antioxidant capacity, phenolics, and anthocyanins after processing and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion were investigated, and physical and textural properties of the snack products were determined.
