AI Article Synopsis

  • The study analyzed the nutritional content, polyphenols, anthocyanins, and antioxidant capacity across 52 types of colored highland barley.
  • The findings revealed variations in nutritional composition, with the black barley highest in protein, blue barley highest in starch and fat, purple barley high in amylose, yellow barley high in fiber, and dark varieties having high β-glucan.
  • Additionally, the black barley had the greatest polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity, while purple barley excelled in anthocyanin levels and its antioxidant ability.
  • The research concluded that grain color should not be the sole measure of highland barley quality and emphasized the importance of considering variety characteristics when selecting materials for processing.

Article Abstract

The nutritional composition, polyphenol and anthocyanin composition, and antioxidant capacity of 52 colored highland barley were evaluated. The results showed that the protein content of highland barley in the black group was the highest, the total starch and fat contents in the blue group were the highest, the amylose content in the purple group was quite high, the fiber content in the yellow group was quite high, and the β-glucan content of the dark highland barley (purple, blue and black) was quite high. The polyphenol content and its antioxidant capacity in the black group were the highest, while the anthocyanin content and its antioxidant capacity in the purple highland barley were the highest. Ten types of monomeric phenolic substances were the main contributors to DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP antioxidant capacity. All varieties could be divided into four categories according to nutrition or function. The grain color could not be used as an absolute index to evaluate the quality of highland barley, and the important influence of variety on the quality of highland barley also needed to be considered. In actual production, suitable raw materials must be selected according to the processing purpose and variety characteristics of highland barley.

Microplastics are widely present in the environment and can adversely affect plants. In this paper, the effects of different concentrations of microplastics on physiological indices and metabolites of highland barley were investigated for the first time using a metabolomics approach, and revealed the response mechanism of barley seedlings to polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) was revealed. The results showed that the aboveground biomass of highland barley exposed to low (10 mg/L) and medium (50 mg/L) concentrations of PS-MPs increased by 32.

A broadly targeted metabolomics approach based on UPLC-MS/MS was employed to investigate the changes in chemical composition and in vitro activity of highland barley Monascus tea decoction before and after simulated digestion. The characteristic metabolites of the tea decoction before and after in vitro-simulated digestion were identified, and the in vitro antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of the tea decoction were further analyzed. The study detected 1431 metabolites, including amino acids and their derivatives, alkaloids, organic acids, nucleotides and their derivatives, lipids, terpenoids, and phenolic acids.

The microbial agents based on plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have become a hot topic in agricultural research, while the optimization of fermentation conditions for PGPR-based microbial agents still lack systematic research. The single-factor and orthogonal experiments were conducted to determine the optimal fermentation conditions of M1. The results indicated that the glycerol and shaker speed was the most significant factors that influence the number of bacteria of M1 fermentation liquid.

To evaluate the combination effects of highland barley polysaccharides (HBP) and low-frequency static magnetic field (LF-SMF) treatment on the structure and properties of acid-induced casein (CS) coacervates, this study conducted a comprehensive investigation at various stages- before, during, and after coacervation-for the first time. Compared with native CS, adding HBP caused CS to denature owing to hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, and LF-SMF treatment further promoted these changes. During the acidification (pH 7.
