Black lentils contain protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins, as well as phytochemicals and various bioactive compounds. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ultrasound (US) methods are innovative technologies that can be used to increase the efficiency of the germination process in grains and legumes. To improve the nutritional value and bioactive compounds of the cookies, black lentils germinated by applying UV radiation and US technology were used in the cookie formulation. Before the germination process, UV, US, and their combination (UV+US) were applied, and pretreated and unpretreated germinated black lentil flours were used at a level of 20% in the cookie formulation. The results revealed that pretreatment application increased the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity more than the lentil sample germinated without any treatment. In addition, the pretreatments applied further reduced the amount of phytic acid in black lentils and the lowest phytic acid content was obtained with the UV-US combination. Compared to cookies containing unpretreated germinated black lentil flour, higher L* values and lower a* values were obtained in the cookie samples containing pretreated germinated black lentil flour. Cookies containing all pretreated germinated lentils generally exhibited higher Ca and K content. This study demonstrated that UV radiation and US improved the nutritional value and bioactive components of the germinated black lentil flour and the cookies in which it was used, compared to the black lentils germinated without any treatment. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Pretreatment of black lentils with UV/US application before germination resulted in a greater increase in total phenolic content and antioxidant activity compared to the control sample. The applied pretreatments caused a further decrease in the amount of phytic acid in black lentil samples. Black lentils germinated with the UV+US combination revealed higher Ca, Fe, K, and Mg content compared to the sample germinated without any treatment.

This study provides an assessment of nutrients (protein, amino acid profiles, fiber, starch), phenolic content TPC, flavonoid content TFC, and antioxidant capacity through different in vitro methods in 12 legume species (red, green, yellow, brown, and black lentils; mung, pinto, black, and kidney beans; chickpea, soy, and lupin) and hemp. Legumes with a protein content above 30% were black lentil, lupin, and soy. Chickpea, soy, black bean, kidney bean, and mung bean did not have any limiting amino acids.

Developing sustainable and multifunctional materials is imperative for advancing anti-counterfeiting measures, sensing technologies, and intelligent packaging solutions. Concurrently, materials based on carbon dots (CDs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are becoming established in such applications. Therefore, herein, we present the fabrication and characterization of water-based CDs and CNCs from (black lentil: BL).

The intermittent nature of solar energy presents a significant challenge to its reliability, particularly in applications that require a consistent energy supply, such as cooking. This issue is especially critical in emerging economies with abundant solar resources, where sustainable energy solutions are needed to reduce reliance on traditional fuels. To address this challenge, this study introduces a novel solar thermal storage (STS), utilizing a metal-based material to accumulate and retain heat for off-sunshine hour cooking.

Article Synopsis
- Kauri forests in New Zealand are in danger because of things like climate change and a harmful soil pathogen called Phytophthora agathidicida.
- Researchers studied the tiny living things in the soil of these forests to see how their variety and ability to produce useful chemicals (like those that fight germs) change based on forest health and damage.
- They found that healthier kauri forests had more diverse helpful microorganisms, which could help protect the trees from disease, showing how important it is to keep these ecosystems healthy.
