This study investigated the conversion of okara insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) to soluble dietary fiber (SDF) using high-pressure homogenization (HPH) combined with microbial fermentation. The conversion mechanism was analyzed from four aspects: correlation, proteomics, component and structure under. Results indicated a negative correlation between pH and SDF yield (r = -0.9885, p < 0.05), while cellulase and xylanase showed a positive correlation with SDF yield (p < 0.05). Proteomic analysis identified 22 key enzymes involved in IDF degradation. According to the composition and structure, the combined treatment effectively reduced the aggregation of IDF, promoting its transformation into SDF. HPH treatment primarily acted on the hemicellulose fractions in the amorphous region, while microbial fermentation broke hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl groups in the crystalline regions of cellulose, enhancing the conversion of more exposed cellulose. This study provided theoretical support for the development and utilization of okara IDF.

Umbu-caja and soursop from the Northeast region of Brazil are rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds and are widely processed by the fruit agroindustry. However, there is a lack of research examining the composition and nutritional/technological potential of these co-product fruits. The present study evaluated the nutritional and technological characteristics of umbu-caja and soursop co-product flours (UCF and SCF, respectively), in addition to cytotoxicity in healthy cells.

Intestinal microbiota could respond to dietary fibres that are fermented by the gut microbiota, like prebiotics. Nevertheless, the dynamics of intestinal microbial community longitudinally after prebiotics intake, are still largely unknown. The current study unrevealed the successional process of intestinal microbial community after inulin supplementation, and the effect of supplementation dosage thereof, based on analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences in C57BL/6 mice.

The growing interest in reducing sugar and fat in processed foods has led to the use of fibers with prebiotic potential, such as inulin and xylooligosaccharide (XOS), as substitutes capable of enhancing nutritional value and sensory quality. Using an innovative approach with Free Just-About-Right (FREE JAR) to obtain Drivers of Liking, this study evaluated consumer perception (n = 129) regarding the impact of adding inulin and XOS to Dulce de Leche with or without fat reduction. The term "Too Greasy" was significant for the product made with whole milk; however, adding inulin and XOS mitigated this effect and promoted the sensation of JAR sweetness.

Echium amoenum (borage) powder (EAP) is consumed traditionally and is known to possess health-promoting effects. In this research, application of Echium amoenum (borage) powder (EAP) at levels of zero, 1 and 2 % w/w was investigated in the production of biscuit as a widely consumed snack and some characteristics of dough and biscuit samples were evaluated. By adding EAP and increasing its level, water absorption values and dough stability increased (p < 0.
