To investigate the impact of milling on the active components in rice, this study examined the stability of phenols, vitamin B1 (VB1), and alpha-aminobutyric acid (α-GABA) during cooking and digestion of rice and their distribution in digestive juices and residue by adjusting the degree of milling (DOM). The findings revealed that milling exacerbated the instability of γ-GABA during cooking and VB1 during digestion. Their total losses peaked at 19.76% and 39.53% as DOM respectively reached 6.07% and 8.06%. In vitro digestion combined with release mathematical models demonstrated the impact of milling on their bioaccessibility. This effect increased the small intestinal bioaccessibility of phenols and γ-GABA, whilst reducing that of VB1. This was attributed to milling-induced pre-gastric full release of VB1, which amplifies its intestinal susceptibility and induces its re-entry into digestive residues. In conclusion, this study recommends keeping DOM below 6.07% to optimize the bioaccessibility of these active compounds.

The ecology of watersheds plays an important role in regulating regional climate and human activities. The sediment-soil system in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River Basin (Henan section) was explored. The spatial distribution characteristics of heavy metals (HMs) showed that tributaries, which are affected by anthropogenic activities, contain higher concentrations of HMs than the main channel.

Pepper is an economically important crop grown worldwide for consumption as a vegetable and spice. Much waste, including crop plant waste, seeds, stalks, placenta, peels, and other processing byproducts, is generated by consumers during pepper crop production, processing, retail, and households. These peppers byproducts contain numerous bioactive compounds that can be used as ingredients for developing functional foods, nutraceuticals, and other food industries.

Oxidative stress, caused by excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of various diseases. Monascin can scavenge ROS and alleviate oxidative stress but with a low fermentation rate and bioavailability. Here, we optimized the fermentation process to increase the production of monascin (508.

In this study, the effects were explored of digestive enzymes and pH on the bioaccessibility of polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidant activities in Hojicha (roasted green tea, RT) infusions during simulated in vitro digestion. Roasting modifies its polyphenolic profile and reduces bitterness, making it a popular variation of green tea. In this study, RT was used for assessing how the roasting-induced changes influenced the tea's bioaccessibility and stability under digestive conditions.
