Folic acid is important because supplementation around the time of conception has been proven to lower the risk of having offspring with a neural-tube defect. Furthermore, both dietary folate and folic acid decrease plasma total homocysteine concentrations. Elevated plasma homocysteine concentrations are considered to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the pres...

BACKGROUND Both ginsenoside Re and B-complex vitamins are widely used as nutritional supplements. They are often taken together so as to fully utilize their antifatigue and refreshing effects, respectively. Whether actually a drug-nutrient interaction exists between ginsenoside Re and B-complex vitamins is still unknown. The objective of this study was to simultaneously investigate the effect o...

Polyphenols are dietary constituents of plants associated with health-promoting effects. In the human diet, polyphenols are generally consumed in foods along with macronutrients. Because the health benefits of polyphenols are critically determined by their bioavailability, the effect of interactions between plant phenols and food macronutrients is a very important topic. In the present review, ...

Fermented food products, especially those derived from cereals and legumes are important contributors to diet diversity globally. These items vital security significantly contribute nutrition. Fermentation is a process that desirably modifies constituents by increasing the palatability, organoleptic properties, bioavailability alters nutritional constituents. This review focuses on deciphering ...

The article is devoted to the current world problem of vegetable protein deficiency, solution which can be white lupine. Particular attention paid assessing bioavailability nutrients from lupine (Lupinus albus) in body non-human primates M. Mulatta. Because are phylogenetically closer humans than other laboratory animals, very convenient for modeling and studying digestibility diets. purpose st...

Edible insects are high value alternative protein sources, exhibiting quality nutrient compositions along with potentially health-promoting constituents. Insects rich in (35–61%), lipids (13–33%) and also contain a significant amount of ‘animal’ fiber form insoluble chitin. Apart from macronutrients, some known for their minerals vitamins profiles. However, the vary species, diet, developmental...
