Developing cost-effective fishmeal alternatives is crucial due to the continuously increasing costs. Carbohydrates are the cheapest alternative, with soybean meal (SM) being the most widely adopted substitute. Nevertheless, few systematic comparisons...
In this work the effect of partial or total replacement of fishmeal by plant protein sources and krill and squid meal on growth performance and shelf-life of gilthead sea bream was evaluated. Plant protein dietswith 50 g kg−1 of krill and 100 g...
Grain legumes, such as faba beans, have been investigated as promising ingredients to enhance the nutritional value of wheat bread. However, a detrimental effect on technological bread quality was often reported. Furthermore, considerable amounts of...
Taste is a frequently cited barrier to the greater adoption of plant-based foods, a dietary pattern associated with both health and environmental benefits. To examine the role of expected taste in promoting greater adoption of plant-based foods, we e...
Plant-based diets are seen as a food-based strategy to address both the impact of dietary patterns on the environment, to reduce climate change impact, and also to reduce rates of diet-related disease. This study investigated self-reported consumer p...
Maintaining muscle mass, strength, and function is crucial for our aging population. Exercise and dietary protein intake are recommended strategies; however, animal proteins have been the most studied. Plant-based protein sources have lower digestibi...
Plant-based protein sources have a characteristic aroma that limits their usage in various meat-alternative formulations. Despite being the most popular plant-based protein, the allergenicity of soy protein severely restricts the potential adoption o...
Plant bioactive compounds (PBC) are widespread in the plant kingdom, including in forage species, but their impact on silage fermentation and ruminant use of PBC-containing silage has been under-researched. The beneficial effects of PBC include plant...
Global and European diets have shifted towards greater consumption of animal proteins. Recent studies urge reversals of these trends and call for a rapid transition towards adoption of more plant-based diets. This paper explored mechanisms to increas...
Perilla (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt.) seed protein, an underutilized resource derived from medicinal and edible plants, was subjected to ultrasound (400 W, 20 min), pH-shifting (pH 12.0, 1 h), and high-pressure homogenization (90 MPa, 3 cycles), a...
Hypercholesterolemia remains a serious global public health concern. Previously, synthetic anti-hypercholesterolemic drugs were used for ameliorating this condition; however, long-term usage presented several side-effects. In this regard, natural pro...
Despite the wide variety of plant-based products, developing high-protein products with a desirable texture remains a key challenge for the food industry. Polysaccharide and plant-protein gels offer a cost-effective strategy for meeting the growing d...
Brewers’ spent grain (BSG) is a brewing by-product with potential as a sustainable protein source. However, its limited amino acid profile and weak gelation properties limit its use in plant-based yoghurt alternatives (YAs). This study evaluate...
This study investigated the influence of coconut oil concentration (0–2%) on the nonlinear rheological and thermal behavior of soy protein concentrate (SPC) mixtures and integrated these data into computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to pr...
The replacement of fishmeal in aquafeeds is essential to the sustainability of aquaculture. Besides the procurement of alternative protein sources, fish can also be selected for better performance on plant-based alternative diets. Rainbow trout (Onco...
The food- and feed-value systems in the European Union are not protein self-sufficient. Despite the potential of legume-supported production systems to reduce the externalities caused by current cultivation practices (excessive use of N fertilizer) a...
Soybean is the most crucial oilseed and plant-protein crop worldwide, yet its yield is frequently threatened by salinity and drought stress. In this study, the chitinase gene AcCHI was cloned from the highly stress-tolerant plant Atriplex canescens a...
This study compared the nutrient-energy retention, digestive function, growth performance, and welfare of rainbow trout (ibw 54 g) fed isoproteic (42%), isolipidic (24%), fishmeal-free diets (CV) over 13 weeks. The diets consisted of plant-protein re...
This study investigates the production of protein hydrolysates with dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory activity from agro-industrial by-products, namely olive seed, sunflower seed, rapeseed, and lupin meals, as well as from two plant protein...
The aim of the study was to determine the effects of replacing soybean meal with insect meal on the body weight and the chemical composition of selected muscle groups of common pheasant females and males, including the mineral composition and the ami...
In this study, a novel combination strategy of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) phosphorylation and dextran (DX) glycosylation was employed to modify soy protein isolate (SPI). The phosphorylated protein–dextran conjugate (TSPI-DX) was successful...
Background/Objectives: The primary outcome of this 8-week randomized, controlled, parallel trial was to assess longitudinal shifts in gut microbiota structure and predicted metabolic potential in 45 elite football players following protein supplement...
Replacing traditional agricultural ingredients with biotechnologically improved agro-industry by-products in fish diets promotes sustainable aquaculture, reduces production costs and carbon footprint, and promotes a circular economy. Brewer’s s...
Sesbania grandiflora (Agathi) is a nutritionally and pharmacologically rich tropical legume tree whose leaves contain substantial quantities of phenolic acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, calcium, and iron. Despite their well-documented bioactivity, com...
