Furthermore, the blends contained more than 200% of the requirement for daily vitamin A intake as stipulated in the Codex unlike the Control which only met about 46%. OFSP-CFs could improve the vitamin A, zinc
Animal-based products are also considered good sources of micronutrients, particularly vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and trace minerals. However, vitamin B12 is absent in plant-based products and the other minerals appear to be relatively low in plant-based alternatives92, microbe-derived25, and culture...
Vitaminoids are compounds with “vitamin-like” activity. Vitamins fall into two main groups: fat-soluble (e.g., A, D, E) and water-soluble (e.g., B, C, P) vitamins. Nutraceuticals include a number of substances ranging from natural diets, herbal products, biofortified crops, ...
The oil is affluent in iron (98.00 ±16.00 ppm), zinc (30.30 ± 0.05 ppm), calcium (44.67 ± 5.90 ppm) and vitamin B (16.20 ± 2.20 mg/100g). A total of 24 phytochemicals, with oleic acid ranking first, followed by linoleic acid, docosahexaenoic, and the least was arachidonic acid....
A paradigmatic example is the production of vitamin B2, where chemical synthesis was substituted by fermentation in the 90s102. The yields and productivities of the processes are key to determining economic feasibility and therefore, metabolic engineering is playing an important role not only in ...
Ecuador’s public health campaign during COVID-19 focused on mask wearing and social distancing; little emphasis was placed on consuming food rich in micronutrients, like citrus fruit and food rich in vitamin C, to strengthen one’s immune system and reduce COVID-19 susceptibility (Górnicka et...
This review focused on addressing vitamin A shortages, encapsulation techniques for improving the delivery of vital vitamins A and their food applications. Additionally, more studies are required to guarantee the security of nano-delivery strategies, as they proliferate in the food and beverage sector....
It’s not just a coincidence that the 8 most common food allergens are protein-rich(2): Milk Eggs Fish Crustacean shellfish Tree nuts Peanuts Wheat Soybeans Many within these categories are also foods high in lectins. Is that just a coincidence, or does their presence plays a part in symp...
Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sp.), a popular choice, are not only rich in vitamin D2, but also in protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins as well as phenolic and bioactive compounds [4,6,7]. In particular, phenolic compounds exhibit antioxidant activities by scavenging free radicals in the ...
For instance, FT-IR has been used to determine the presence of vitamin B12 and vitamin C encapsulated into different biopolymers by spray-drying (Estevinho et al., 2016), tea tree oil in sodium alginate/chitosan capsules (Chen et al., 2016), xylitol in multicomponent microcapsules obtained ...
