The effect of popping, soaking, boiling and roasting processes on antinutritional factors in chickpeas and red kidney beans (2022)
Journal Article

This study was conducted to determine the effect that a popping head (like a rice cake machine), a low-shear and low-water processing technology, has on the concentration of antinutritional factors in chickpea and red kidney beans. Seeds were popped... Read More about The effect of popping, soaking, boiling and roasting processes on antinutritional factors in chickpeas and red kidney beans.

The Leydig cell biomarker INSL3 as a predictor of age-related morbidity: Findings from the EMAS cohort (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a constitutive hormone secreted in men by the mature Leydig cells of the testes. It is an accurate biomarker for Leydig cell functional capacity, reflecting their total cell number and differentiation sta...

Using correlation matrices to standardise sweet liking status classification (2022)
Journal Article

Distinct hedonic patterns of sweet taste liking have been widely recognised for more than half a century. Despite there being a growing consensus on the role of Sweet Liking Status (SLS) in food choice behaviour, current classification methods for th...

The role of inorganic-phosphate, potassium and magnesium in yeast-flavour formation (2022)
Journal Article

Inorganic-phosphate, potassium, and magnesium are key-minerals required for yeast growth, metabolism, and survival, the present work investigated its impact in yeast-flavour formation using a multi-factor experimental design, which was used to genera...

Natural products in drug discovery and development: Synthesis and medicinal perspective of leonurine (2022)
Journal Article

Natural products, those molecules derived from nature, have been used by humans for thousands of years to treat ailments and diseases. More recently, these compounds have inspired chemists to use natural products as structural templates in the develo...

Effect of popping water content and amylose/amylopectin ratio on the physical properties of expanded starch products with different shear histories (2022)
Journal Article

Aerated starch products are a staple of the food industry, with particular relevance in the snack market. Water plays a crucial role in the formation of such products due to its utility both as a blowing agent and as a starch plasticiser. Amylose/amy...

Influence of income on diet quality and daily iron and zinc intake: Analysis of the National Diet and Nutrition Survey of British females aged 11-14 and 15-18 years (2022)
Journal Article

Purpose: A negative socio-economic gradient exists for diet and health outcomes. Since cheaper diets are associated with increased energy and lower nutrient density, we investigated the influence of income on iron and zinc intakes and overall diet qu...

Diet and irritable bowel syndrome: an update from a UK consensus meeting (2022)
Journal Article

There has been a renewed interest in the role of dietary therapies to manage irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), with diet high on the agenda for patients. Currently, interest has focussed on the use of traditional dietary advice (TDA), a gluten-free die... Read More about Diet and irritable bowel syndrome: an update from a UK consensus meeting.

The Response of the Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cell Transcriptome to Variation in Magnesium Concentration (2022)
Journal Article

Vascular endothelial cells have a critical role in the maintenance of cardiovascular function. Evidence suggests that endothelial function may be compromised under conditions of magnesium deficiency, which increases vulnerability to inflammation. Who...
