The results revealed that the protein stability of AA from both host sources was comparable at pH 4 and 7 (Fig. 3A). However, with storage temperatures rising over 40 °C, the stability of rice-derived AA began deteriorating significantly. Nonetheless, it exhibited optimal stability under the ...
Previous isotope tracer studies (Supplementary Fig.1) have demonstrated that the Lycopodium alkaloid scaffolds originate from two units each of a lysine-derived heterocycle (1-piperideine,1) and a polyketide substrate derived from malonyl-CoA (3-oxoglutaric acid,2, or its thioester analogue)4. Th...
Types of alternative meats Alternative meats encompass four primary categories based on their origin: plant-based, microorganism-based, animal-based, and insect-based meat analogs, each with distinctive sources and production processes (Fig. 2). Fig. 2 : Meat alternatives: types and advancements in...
essential amino acids (histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine) that cannot be produced by the body. Plant proteins do not contain all these amino acids. However, the vegetable proteins provide less saturated fat, and often vitamins, minerals,...
integrating diverse plant sources and processing methods can enhance bioavailability by unfolding proteins, reducing antinutrients, and fostering optimal hydrolysis114. Although plant-based proteins often lack essential sulfur-containing amino acids8,52, HME cooking preserves lysine and enhances the bioavailabi...
[8]. Additionally, this type of production has a significantly high environmental footprint, exceeding plant-based protein production in terms of land use (around 74 times), freshwater consumption (eight times), and greenhouse gas emissions [8]. In contrast, the use of plants as sources of ...
Plant mitochondria are targets, sources and initiators of signalling cascades. • Regulators of mitochondrial (dys)function have been identified inArabidopsis. • Transcriptional and Post-transcriptional/translational regulation play a major role. ...
Toxic plants may be consumed as a consequence of accident, deliberate or accidental contamination, or in desperation as other food sources dwindle. Many episodes involve only one person, usually a child, but epidemic poisonings affecting thousands are also common. Analytical methods have led to the...
Plant-root exudates can serve as nutrient sources for microbes in the rhizosphere and act as chemical cues for the recruitment of plant-beneficial bacteria [17,18,19, 41]. Corroborating our findings, other studies have shown how plant intra- and interspecific interactions can lead to alterations ...
Some legumes and protein-rich products made from rapeseed are natural sources of tryptophan, provided the inherent antinutritive factors (e.g., protease inhibitors) are properly processed40. Various forms and sources of plant proteins have been studied as wheat alternatives that differ in protein ...
