Bioactive peptides derived from Phaseolus vulgaris represent a promising source for the development of functional ingredients because of the multiple biological activities associated with bean proteins and their hydrolysis products. In this review, a...
Phenolic compounds exhibit important biological properties; however, their solubility affects bioavailability when they are consumed by oral administration. Enzymatic glycosylation of these molecules improves solubility and bioavailability; however,...
Food and nutrition insecurities remain major challenges in rural communities, highlighting the need to identify affordable and nutrient-dense indigenous food resources. Therefore, this study evaluated the nutritional composition, antioxidant activity...
The authors would like to make the following correction to their published paper [...]
Ellagitannins (ETs) derived from rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) peel are polyphenols that have gained prominence in the food and nutraceutical industries due to their high bioactivity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the encapsulation...
Natural polyphenols have gained increasing attention as potential anticancer agents, although the selective effects of many plant-derived extracts on cervical cancer cells remain insufficiently characterized. Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) peel, an u...
Carbohydrates and their constituent monosaccharides have historically been viewed as metabolic substrates that provide cellular energy. However, recent evidence demonstrates that monosaccharides can also function as bioactive signaling molecules that...
The authors would like to make the following correction to their published paper [...]
Antibiotic-induced dysbiosis can cause persistent alterations in gut microbial composition and fermentative metabolism, yet the long-term role of mushroom β-glucan-based prebiotics in supporting post-antibiotic microbiota modulation remains poor...
Quercetin is a nutraceutical flavonoid whose aqueous use is limited by poor solubility and chemical instability. Existing polysaccharide carriers may require chemical modification, crosslinkers, multicomponent formulations, or complex processing. Her...
The rapid expansion of the global nutraceutical industry has heightened the urgency for rigorous yet efficient safety assessment of food-derived bioactives. Conventional toxicological methods, while indispensable, are often costly, time-consuming, an...
Background: The Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) is a global benchmark for the prevention of cardiometabolic diseases and healthy aging, with Olea europaea L. (O. europaea L.) and Citrus bergamia Risso et Poiteau (bergamot) serving as primary sources of...
Neuropathic pain is a chronic, difficult-to-treat condition arising from injury or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Current pharmacological treatments provide limited relief for many patients and are often associated with adverse effects,...
Background/Objectives: Flavonoids are a diverse group of dietary polyphenolic compounds associated with a range of important biological activities. However, their low systemic bioavailability and extensive metabolism raise questions about how they ex...

Pediatric sarcopenic obesity (PSO) is an emerging conceptual framework characterized by the coexistence of excess visceral adiposity and impaired skeletal muscle accretion. Evidence suggests that this pathology is driven by systemic meta-inflammation...
Introduction: It is estimated that about 20–35% of the Western population reports symptoms of food intolerances, which is a growing trend. Intolerance to histamine, a dose-dependent, non-allergic food hypersensitivity reaction, despite similar...
Mint (Mentha spp.) teas are widely consumed as functional herbal beverages and represent important dietary sources of bioactive volatile compounds. The present study comparatively evaluated the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of essen...
Peptic ulcer is a multifactorial and debilitating gastrointestinal disorder affecting about 10 million people worldwide. The effectiveness of many anti-ulcer drugs is often limited by adverse effects, thereby making the need for safer, natural altern...
Adaptogens are substances touted for their ability to promote resilience to stress. With more individuals reporting a greater degree of perceived stress, renewed attention has been focused on novel adaptogen complexes for stress reduction. Salidrosid...
Background: Resistance training increases lean mass, muscle accretion and performance. These adaptations from resistance training can be further increased with 5 g of creatine monohydrate supplementation (CrM). In addition to dose, it has been propos...
