Determination of isothiocyanate-protein conjugates in milk and curd after adding garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.)

10.1016/j.foodres.2018.04.001

2018-04-04

Isothiocyanates (ITC) play an important role in health promotion and cancer prevention due to their anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancerogenic properties. However, ITC are highly reactive so that a reaction with further food components is very l...

Increasing the folate content of tuber based foods using potentially probiotic lactic acid bacteria

10.1016/j.foodres.2018.03.073

2018-04-04

It is known that certain lactic acid bacterial (LAB) strains can produce folates, a B-group vitamin that cannot be synthesized by humans and must be exogenously obtained. The aim of this study was to select folate-producing LAB and evaluate their probiotic ch...
