This study evaluated the effect of popping and fermentation on the chemical composition of three types of grains cultivated in Ethiopia. Proximate composition, minerals and mineral absorption inhibitors were analyzed. Popping caused a decrease in protein content by 4 % and an increase in fat, ash, acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) contents by 12, 10, 15 and 67 %, respectively. While fermentation increased protein, fat and ash content by 3, 22 and 14 %, respectively but did not significantly change ADF and NDF content. Fe, Ca and phytic acid (IP6) decreased during popping but Mg, Zn, galloyl and catechol did not change significantly. On the other hand, fermentation increased Fe and Mg content but decreased IP6, galloyl and catechol content. The decrease in mineral absorption inhibitors especially IP6 during popping and fermentation could contribute to enhance mineral bioavailability. However, due to the presence of high phytate content in raw amaranth, all IP6-to-mineral molar ratios were above the recommended values.

The Unique Seed Protein Composition of Quality Protein Popcorn Promotes Growth of Beneficial Bacteria From the Human Gut Microbiome.

The effects of fiber, complex carbohydrates, lipids, and small molecules from food matrices on the human gut microbiome have been increasingly studied. Much less is known about how dietary protein can influence the composition and function of the gut microbial community. Here, we used near-isogenic maize lines of conventional popcorn and quality-protein popcorn (QPP) to study the effects of the mutation and associated quality-protein modifiers on the human gut microbiome.

Climate change has led to rediscovery of minor drought tolerant grains such as millet. Among its bioactive molecules, steryl ferulates have been poorly explored. Steryl ferulates composition of was investigated by high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector-tandem mass spectrometry and high resolution tandem mass spectrometry in twenty-two millet samples and also in some fermented and microwave heated samples.

The present study is about the use of peanut hull for isoprene production. In this study, two pretreatment methods, hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid (HPAC) and popping, were employed prior to enzymatic hydrolysis, which could destroy the lignocellulosic structure and accordingly improve the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis. It is proven that the isoprene production on enzymatic hydrolysate with HPAC pretreatment is about 1.
