Comparative study on structural characterization, physicochemical properties, and in vitro probiotic activities of resistant starch from different varieties of Euryale ferox

Euryale ferox, a nutritious aquatic plant, contains two varieties with significantly different health benefits. North Euryale ferox has much higher levels of resistant starch (a special type of starch that resists digestion) compared to South Euryale ferox, making it potentially more beneficial for gut health and diabetes management. The resistant starch in this plant acts as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while inhibiting harmful bacteria, supporting overall digestive and metabolic health.

Physicochemical, microbiological, and microstructural changes in germinated wheat grain

When wheat grains are exposed to moisture and warm conditions, they begin to sprout, which damages their quality and usefulness. This research studied how different moisture, temperature, and time conditions affect sprouted wheat grain. Scientists found that sprouting significantly changes the grain’s structure, reducing its starch content and increasing microbial contamination. The findings suggest that sprouted wheat can be processed into useful products if grown under carefully controlled conditions.

Physicochemical, microbiological, and microstructural changes in germinated wheat grain

When wheat grains sprout due to moisture and humidity during harvest, they lose quality and economic value. This study examined what happens to sprouted wheat grain under different moisture, temperature, and time conditions. The researchers found optimal conditions to maximize desirable components like starch and protein while minimizing harmful microbial contamination. The findings show that sprouted wheat can potentially be converted into useful industrial products, turning a harvest problem into an opportunity.

Polysacharide of Agaricus blazei gel mitigates bone necrosis in model of the jaws related to bisphosphonate via Wnt signaling

This study tested whether a gel made from Agaricus blazei mushroom could help repair jaw bone damage caused by bisphosphonate medications (used to treat bone loss). Using a rat model, researchers found that the mushroom gel significantly improved bone healing by activating biological pathways that promote bone-forming cell growth and activity. The treatment increased the number of living bone cells, improved bone quality, and reduced bone death and tissue damage. These promising results suggest the mushroom extract could become a helpful treatment to prevent or manage jawbone damage in patients taking bisphosphonate medications.
