characterisation of dietary fibre components in cereals and legumes used in serbian diet.the typical serbian diet is characterised by high intake of cereal products and also legumes are often used. the content of total fibre as well as certain fibre fractions was determined in cereals, cereal products, and cooked legumes. the content of total fibre in cooked cereals and cereal products ranged from 2.5 to 20.8 g/100 g, and in cooked legumes from 14.0 to 24.5 g/100 g (on dry matter basis). distribution of analysed fibre fractions and their quantities differed significantly depending o ...023870869
mineral biofortification strategies for food staples: the example of common bean.common bean is the most important directly consumed legume, especially in the least developed countries of africa (e.g., burundi, democratic republic of congo, rwanda, and uganda) and latin america (e.g., guatemala, nicaragua, and el salvador). biofortification is the process of improving staple crops for mineral or vitamin content as a way to address malnutrition in developing countries. the main goals of mineral biofortification have been to increase the concentration of iron or zinc in certai ...023848266
silicon: a review of its potential role in the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.physicians are aware of the benefits of calcium and vitamin d supplementation. however, additional nutritional components may also be important for bone health. there is a growing body of the scientific literature which recognizes that silicon plays an essential role in bone formation and maintenance. silicon improves bone matrix quality and facilitates bone mineralization. increased intake of bioavailable silicon has been associated with increased bone mineral density. silicon supplementation i ...023762049
analysis of starch in food systems by high-performance size exclusion chromatography.starch has unique physicochemical characteristics among food carbohydrates. starch contributes to the physicochemical attributes of food products made from roots, legumes, cereals, and fruits. it occurs naturally as distinct particles, called granules. most starch granules are a mixture of 2 sugar polymers: a highly branched polysaccharide named amylopectin and a basically linear polysaccharide named amylose. the starch contained in food products undergoes changes during processing, which causes ...023330715
antioxidant and antidiabetic properties of condensed tannins in acetonic extract of selected raw and processed indigenous food ingredients from kenya.recently, tannins have received considerable attention as health-promoting component in various plant foods and several studies have reported on its nutraceutical properties. however, no study has established the role of condensed tannins in indigenous foods of kenya. therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant activity (dpph and frap) and antidiabetic effects (α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition activities) of condensed tannins in some selected raw and traditionally proces ...022417336
thermal and refining processes, not fermentation, tend to reduce lipotropic capacity of plant-based foods.plant-based foods (pbf) are relevant and diversified sources of lipotropes, which are compounds preventing excess hepatic fat deposits. in a first study, we defined the lipotropic capacity (lc, %) of raw pbf as the means of 8 lipotrope densities (ld, mg/100 kcal), each expressed relative to that of a reference food ranking the highest considering its mean 8 ld ranks (lc(raw asparagus)=100%) (a. fardet, j.-f. martin and j. m. chardigny, j. food comp. anal., 2011, doi: 10.1016/j.jfca.2011.1003.101 ...021842076
qtl analyses for seed iron and zinc concentrations in an intra-genepool population of andean common beans (phaseolus vulgaris l.).legumes provide essential micronutrients that are found only in low amounts in the cereals or root crops. an ongoing project at ciat has shown that the legume common bean is variable in the amount of seed minerals (iron, zinc, and other elements), vitamins, and sulfur amino acids that they contain and that these traits are likely to be inherited quantitatively. in this study we analyzed iron and zinc concentrations in an andean recombinant inbred line (ril) population of 100 lines derived from a ...021113704
