The objective of this study was the develop of fortified cookies enriched with oats flour and bitter gourd powder and monitoring the effects of these enrichments on the physicochemical, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and sensory attributes. This study was subjected to four treatments: control (0% oats flour and bitter gourd powder), T1 (10% oats flour), T2 (3% bitter gourd powder), and T3 (7% oats flour and 3% bitter gourd powder). Various physical properties of the cookies, including weight, thickness, diameter, spread ratio, baking loss, pH, and color values (L*, a*, and b*), were measured. Proximate analysis revealed moisture (4.23-4.70%), ash (1.17-1.67%), fat (13.62-15.09%), crude protein (7.02-7.36%), carbohydrate (71.78-72.97%), energy (442.62-452.40 kcal), and crude fiber (8.02-3.33%). Mineral contents included Na (787-754 mg/100g), Ca (873-435 mg/100g), and Zn (66.7-58.8 mg/100g). Additionally, DPPH free radical scavenging activity ranged from 13.14 to 75.51%, while TBARS activity varied from 0.78 to 1.33 mg MDA/kg. T2 cookies exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity, with control cookies showing the lowest. The 5-point hedonic scale indicated that T2 cookies had lower overall acceptability, while T3 cookies were better received. In conclusion, the study suggests that fortified cookies have a more significant impact than regular or control cookies.

Polyphenolic plant compounds possess nutritional and pro-healthy potential, reducing the risk of auto-inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. However, their interference with the progression of thyroid gland dysfunctions has remained largely unaddressed. For this purpose, we combined the analyses of phenolic content and antioxidative activity with the thyroid peroxidase (TPO), lipoxygenase (LOX), xanthine oxidase (XO) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity assays, isobolographic approach and the estimation of thyroid cancer cells' proliferation and motility in vitro.

Oats are gluten-free cereals rich in dietary fiber, -glucans, phenolic acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamin E, and phytosterols. They have been used in traditional medicine for centuries to treat hyperacidity, acute pancreatitis, burns, and skin inflammation. This study assessed the nutritional and phenolic profile of oat flour (OF) and ground oat husks (OHs) from white, brown, and black hulled oat genotypes, as well as the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of their extracts.

Impact of compositionally diverse cereal flour water extracts on the gas cell size distribution and extensional rheology of model gluten-starch doughs.

Laboratory of Food Chemistry and Biochemistry, Leuven Food Science and Nutrition Research Centre (LFoRCe), Department of Microbial and Molecular Systems, KU Leuven, Kasteelpark Arenberg 20, 3000 Leuven, Belgium. Electronic address:

The role of water-extractable (WE) cereal flour constituents, and particularly WE proteins, in determining bread dough gas cell stability and bread specific volume (SV) remains ill-understood. We investigated the impact of compositionally diverse cereal flour aqueous extracts on bread SV, dough extensional rheology, and dough gas cell size distribution. To this end, aqueous extracts from wheat, rye, and defatted oat flours were either used as such, or their composition was modified by dialyzing out (i) low molecular mass constituents or (ii) both low molecular mass constituents and enzymatically hydrolyzed carbohydrates.

The main objective of this experiment was to investigate the technological potential of upcycling unsparged non-conventional brewers' spent grains (BSGs) in bread-making and assess the comparative quality of bread enriched with non-fermented and lactic acid-fermented BSGs obtained from mashes brewed with starch adjuncts of buckwheat and oats. After the runoff of the first wort, unsparged non-conventional BSGs with approximately 75% moisture, acidic pH, and yield in the soluble extract above 56.6% (/ d.
