Limited data are available on the effects of molybdenum (Mo) on avian wildlife, which impairs evaluation of ecological exposure and risk. While Mo is an essential trace nutrient in birds, little is known of its toxicity to birds exposed to molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), the predominant form found in molybdenite ore. The chemical form and bioavailability of Mo is important in determining its toxic...

UNLABELLED There has been a surge of interest in the development of nanoscale systems for the encapsulation, protection, and delivery of lipophilic nutrients, vitamins, and nutraceuticals. This review article highlights the challenges associated with incorporating these lipophilic bioactive components into foods, and then discusses potential nanoscale delivery systems that can be used to overco...

This study aimed to investigate a food effect on the bio-availability of modified-release (MR) trimetazidine tablets in 36 healthy volunteers. Trimetazidine, an anti-ischemic drug, protects the myocardial cell from the harmful effects of ischemia. The authors investigated the effect of being under a fasting or fed state at the time of drug intake on the bioavailability of trimetazidine 35-mg MR...

SCOPE Curcumin revealed various health-beneficial properties in numerous studies. However its bioavailability is low due to its limited intestinal uptake and rapid metabolism. The aim of our project was to develop novel curcumin formulations with improved oral bioavailability and to study their safety as well as potential sex-differences. METHODS AND RESULTS In this crossover study, healthy s...

The target delivery of sensitive components to get the intended benefits is a challenge for global food industry. One principal strategies used boost individualized absorptivity, nutrient stability, and enhanced quality application liposomal systems in industry, which allows controlled release bioactive compounds. Lipid-oriented encapsulation such as liposomes are superior encapsulating compone...

Farmers in resource-poor areas of the Guinea Savanna zone Ghana often face declining soil fertility due to continuous removal nutrient-rich harvested produce from their fields. This study focuses on Lawra Municipality Ghana, where low fertility, specifically, limits phosphorus (P) bioavailability and hinders crop production. The objective this research is formulate P-enhanced biochar-compost ma...

In the past few decades, there has been an increased emphasis on plant-based diets. While diets have many cardiovascular and environmental benefits, little is known about how specifically impact athletic performance promote muscle growth. Many athletes are reluctant to adopt diets, fearing that they will lose lean mass due insufficient protein content. this research review, we evaluate factors ...

Understanding the microstructural changes of raw potato during processing is critical if food properties want to be controlled properly, because there is a causal connection between structure and functionality. Major structural elements contributing to potato products identity and quality are plant cells, cell walls and starch granules. During processing, which can be viewed as a series of rest...

Hydrothermal carbonization converts organic wastes into potentially soil-improving solids. The nutrient-rich process waters generated are prospective fertilizers. Two hydrochars were produced from maize (Zea mays L.) biogas digestate after 1 or 6 h of carbonization. Nutrient concentrations the digestate, hydrochars, and determined. A 28-d incubation, in which added to a sandy loam soil, assesse...

Most of the drugs that are available in the marketplace are administered via the oral route, which is a convenient and cost effective route of administration (Lipinski 1995; Lipinski 2000; Lipinski et al. 2001; Lipinski 2004; Abrahamsson and Lennernas 2005). Thus, oral bioavailability is one of the key considerations for discovery and development of a new chemical entity (NCE). It is well recog...
