Impact of Packaging Variations on the Amino Acid Profile, Proximate Content, and Antinutritional Components of Tempeh from Jack Bean Sprouts

This study examines how wrapping tempeh made from jack bean sprouts in different materials affects its nutritional value. Researchers tested three packaging types—plastic, banana leaves, and teak leaves—over various fermentation periods. Results show that teak leaf packaging at 48 hours of fermentation produces tempeh with the highest protein and amino acid content while reducing harmful compounds like hydrogen cyanide to safe levels.

Formulation of silages from spent mushroom substrates of Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinula edodes: Organoleptic properties, phenolic content, in vitro digestibility, gas production and ruminal kinetics

This study shows that mushroom farming creates leftover substrate that can be turned into healthy animal feed through a fermentation process called ensiling. When mixed with corn and fermented, this mushroom waste creates nutritious silage for livestock that contains beneficial plant compounds called polyphenols. The best results came from silages containing 70% mushroom substrate mixed with 30% corn, which had good taste, smell, and digestibility. This approach demonstrates how agricultural waste can be recycled into valuable animal feed, supporting more sustainable farming practices.

Impact of Air-Drying Temperature on Antioxidant Properties and ACE-Inhibiting Activity of Fungal Fermented Lentil Flour

Researchers fermented lentils with oyster mushrooms to create nutritious flour with health benefits. Two lentil varieties responded differently to fermentation, with one showing four times more mushroom growth and nearly complete removal of phytic acid (an antinutrient). The fermented flour was dried at different temperatures and tested for antioxidant and blood pressure-lowering properties. Results show the fermented flours have promising cardiovascular benefits and could be used as healthy food ingredients.
