Exploring Pijuayo (Bactris gasipaes) Pulp and Peel Flours as Fat Replacers in Burgers: A Multivariate Study on Physicochemical and Sensory Traits

Researchers tested using pijuayo flour from an Amazon fruit to replace animal fat in beef burgers. Burgers with 25% less animal fat tasted better and had better texture than regular burgers, possibly because pijuayo adds natural flavoring compounds and has healthy unsaturated fats. Most consumers preferred these reduced-fat burgers, suggesting pijuayo could be a practical way to make meat products healthier without sacrificing taste.

Composition and Biodiversity of Culturable Endophytic Fungi in the Roots of Alpine Medicinal Plants in Xinjiang, China

Scientists studied special fungi that live inside the roots of two rare alpine medicinal plants found in China’s high mountains. They discovered that these plants host over 400 different types of fungi, including a special type called dark septate fungi that make up about half of all the fungi found. Different plant species and different mountain locations had different combinations of fungi, suggesting these fungi help the plants survive in the harsh, cold mountain environment.

Comparative Multi-Omics Analysis and Antitumor Activity of Phylloporia crataegi and Phylloporia fontanesiae

Researchers compared two types of medicinal fungi (Phylloporia crataegi and Phylloporia fontanesiae) to understand why one is better at fighting cancer. They used advanced techniques to examine the fungi’s chemicals, genes, and proteins, discovering that P. crataegi contains special compounds like trans-cinnamic acid that help kill cancer cells. This study provides important information for developing new cancer treatments from these fungi.

Comparative Multi-Omics Analysis and Antitumor Activity of Phylloporia crataegi and Phylloporia fontanesiae

Researchers compared two types of medicinal fungi (Phylloporia crataegi and P. fontanesiae) to understand why one is more effective at fighting cancer. Using advanced molecular analysis techniques, they found that P. crataegi contains higher levels of cancer-fighting compounds and activates more genes related to cancer cell death. These findings suggest that these fungi could be promising sources for developing new cancer treatments.
