The Impact of Fermentation on the Antioxidant Activity of Food Products
Sarıtaş, Sümeyye; Portocarrero, Alicia C.Mondragon; Miranda López, Jose M.; Lombardo, Mauro; Koch, Wojciech; Raposo, António; El-Seedi, Hesham R.From ancient times to the present day, fermentation has been utilized not only for food preservation but also for enhancing the nutritional and functional properties of foods. This process is influenced by numerous factors, including the type of microorganisms used, substrate composition, pH, time, and temperature, all of which can significantly alter the characteristics of the final product. Depending on the p...

Effect of growth stages and lactic acid fermentation on anti-nutrients and nutr...
Naseem, Adila; Akhtar, Saeed; Ismail, Tariq; Qamar, Muhammad; Sattar, Dur-e-shahwar; Saeed, Wisha; Esatbeyoglu, Tuba; Bartkiene, ElenaSpinach (Spinacia oleracea) is a winter-season green, leafy vegetable grown all over the world, belonging to the family Amaranthus, sub-family Chenopodiaceae. Spinach is a low-caloric food and an enormous source of micronutrients, e.g., calcium, folates, zinc, retinol, iron, ascorbic acid and magnesium. Contrarily, it also contains a variety of anti-nutritional factors, e.g., alkaloids, phytates, saponins, oxal...
Effect of fat contents of buttermilk on fatty acid composition, lipolysis, vita...
Asif, Mussab; Nadeem, Muhammad; Imran, Muhammad; Ullah, Rahman; Tayyab, Muhammad; Khan, Faima Atta; Al-Asmari, Fahad; Rahim, Muhammad AbdulCheddar-type cheese produced from buttermilk had softer texture than standard cheddar cheese due to lower fat content of buttermilk. Fat is extremely important for the functional characteristics and optimum textural attributes of cheese. The effect of different fat contents of buttermilk on chemical characteristics of cheddar-type cheese is not previously investigated. This investigation was conducted to know t...

Latif, Anam; Shehzad, Aamir; Niazi, Sobia; Zahid, Asna; Ashraf, Waqas; Iqbal, Muhammad Waheed; Rehman, Abdur; Riaz, Tahreem; Aadil, Rana MuhammadProbiotics, like lactic acid bacteria, are non-pathogenic microbes that exert health benefits to the host when administered in adequate quantity. Currently, research is being conducted on the molecular events and applications of probiotics. The suggested mechanisms by which probiotics exert their action include; competitive exclusion of pathogens for adhesion sites, improvement of the intestinal mucosal barrier...
Effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on the conversion of linoleic acid of v...
Khan, Awais; Nadeem, Muhammad; Al-Asmari, Fahad; Imran, Muhammad; Ambreen, Saadia; Rahim, Muhammad Abdul; Oranab, Sadaf; Esatbeyoglu, TubaConjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is perceived to protect the body from metabolic diseases. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lp. plantarum) on CLA production and sensory characteristics of cheddar cheese. Lp. plantarum can convert linoleic acid (LA) to CLA. To increase CLA in cheddar cheese and monitor the conversion of LA to CLA by Lp. plantarum, the LA content of...
Utilization of malted barley flour as replacement of wheat flour to improve tec...
Aslam, Jawed; Hussain, Ashiq; Ud-Din, Ghulam Mueen; Kausar, Tusneem; Siddique, Tahira; Kabir, Khurram; Gorsi, Faiza Iftikhar; Haroon, HaseebIntroduction: Flours from cereal grains have the potential to be used in the production of bakery products, especially breads, and the addition of other non–wheat plant materials in the form of flours, extracts and malts has always been the area of interest for food producers. Methods: In this research work, barley grains were converted into barley malt flour (BMF), by adopting a series of processes, including ...
Glutathione for food and health applications with emphasis on extraction, ident...
Al-Temimi, Anfal Alwan; Al-Mossawi, Aum El Bashar; Al-Hilifi, Sawsan A.; Korma, Sameh A.; Esatbeyoglu, Tuba; Rocha, João Miguel; Agarwal, VipulGlutathione is a naturally occurring compound that plays a crucial role in the cellular response to oxidative stress through its ability to quench free radicals, thus mitigating the risk of potential damage, including cell death. While glutathione is endogenously present in different plants and animal cells, their concentration varies considerably. The alteration in glutathione homeostasis can be used as a pote...
