The effect of popping, soaking, boiling and roasting processes on antinutritional factors in chickpeas and red kidney beans (2022)
Journal Article
Godrich, J., Rose, P., Muleya, M., & Gould, J. (2023). The effect of popping, soaking, boiling and roasting processes on antinutritional factors in chickpeas and red kidney beans. International Journal of Food Science and Technology, 58(1), 279-289. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijfs.16190

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.

Bioaccessibility of iron in pearl millet flour contaminated with different soil types (2022)
Journal Article
Muleya, M., Young, S. D., Broadley, M. R., Joy, E. J., Chopera, P., & Bailey, E. H. (2023). Bioaccessibility of iron in pearl millet flour contaminated with different soil types. Food Chemistry, 402, Article 134277. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.134277

A controlled in-vitro experiment was conducted to determine the bioaccessibility of extrinsic soil iron in pearl millet contaminated with typical Malawian soils. Pearl millet was contaminated with soils at ratios typically encountered in real life. I... Read More about Bioaccessibility of iron in pearl millet flour contaminated with different soil types.

Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism (2022)
Journal Article
Fusi, R., Rosignoli, S., Lou, H., Sangiorgi, G., Bovina, R., Pattem, J. K., …Salvi, S. (2022). Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,

Root angle in crops represents a key trait for efficient capture of soil resources. Root angle is determined by competing gravitropic versus anti-gravitropic offset (AGO) mechanisms. Here we report a new root angle regulatory gene termed ENHANCED GRA... Read More about Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism.

Limited Supply of Protein and Lysine Is Prevalent among the Poorest Households in Malawi and Exacerbated by Low Protein Quality (2022)
Journal Article
Muleya, M., Tang, K., Broadley, M. R., Salter, A. M., & Joy, E. J. M. (2022). Limited Supply of Protein and Lysine Is Prevalent among the Poorest Households in Malawi and Exacerbated by Low Protein Quality. Nutrients, 14(12), Article 2430. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu14122430

We estimated dietary supplies of total and available protein and indispensable amino acids (IAAs) and predicted the risk of deficiency in Malawi using Household Consumption and Expenditure Survey data. More than half of dietary protein was derived fr... Read More about Limited Supply of Protein and Lysine Is Prevalent among the Poorest Households in Malawi and Exacerbated by Low Protein Quality.

Artificial intelligence and ethics within the food sector: Developing a common language for technology adoption across the supply chain (2022)
Journal Article
Manning, L., Brewer, S., Craigon, P. J., Frey, J., Gutierrez, A., Jacobs, N., …Pearson, S. (2022). Artificial intelligence and ethics within the food sector: Developing a common language for technology adoption across the supply chain. Trends in Food Science and Technology, 125, 33-42. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tifs.2022.04.025

Background: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is growing in food supply chains. The ethical language associated with food supply and technology is contextualised and framed by the meaning given to it by stakeholders. Failure to differentiate be...

Flavour compounds affect protein structure: The effect of methyl anthranilate on bovine serum albumin conformation (2022)
Journal Article
Dinu, V., Borah, P. K., Muleya, M., Scott, D. J., Lithgo, R., Pattem, J., …Fisk, I. D. (2022). Flavour compounds affect protein structure: The effect of methyl anthranilate on bovine serum albumin conformation. Food Chemistry, 388, Article 133013. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.133013

This study aims to understand possible effects of flavour compounds on the structure and conformation of endogenous proteins. Using methyl anthranilate (a grape flavour compound added to drinks, confectionery, and vape-liquids) and bovine serum album...
