| 3 | Considerations for gluten free foods-pearl and finger millet processing and market demand显示文摘The market demand for gluten free foods is increasing due to frequent incidences of celiac disease and increasing awareness on consumption of gluten free foods.Millets have become the major constituent of diet as they are gluten-free and also excellent sources of micro and macro nutrients such as vitamins,minerals,dietary fibers and phenolic compounds.Among various millets,the finger millet and the pearl millet are the two most important and common millet varieties grown extensively.Since,they are regarded as the staple foods of the poor and vulnerable populations,development of new products and improvements in their nutritional quality will aid in the general health of these population.Processing of millets and production of variable gluten-free ready-to-eat and nutritional supplements has increased their market value in the recent years.Furthermore,processing can also help in shelf-life extension of the millets with nutritional enrichment,expanding its markets to non-traditional millet consumers.In this context,the present review is aimed to focus on the current processing methods to develop products from the two millet varieties that are gluten free and outline their nutritional benefits. | Manivannan Selladurai Manoj Kumar Pulivarthi Anu Suprabha Raj Mehreen Iftikhar P.V.Vara Prasad Kaliramesh Siliveru | 2023 | Grain & Oil Science and Technology2023,6,2: | 0 |
| 4 | Impact of mycotoxins and their metabolites associated with food grains显示文摘Mycotoxins are secondary toxic metabolites synthesized by numerous filamentous fungi including members of the genus Fusarium,Penicillium,Drechslera,Aspergillus,Claviceps,Monascum,Alternaria,Cephalosporium,Nigrospora,and Trichoderma.Among them,Aspergillus and Fusarium species are major plant pathogens recognized to induce infection and produce mycotoxins in food crops.More than 400 mycotoxins have been documented and among them,aflatoxin,fumonisins,trichothecenes,zearalenone,ochratoxin A,citrinin,ergot alkaloids,and patulin are the most prominent compounds linked to a variety of human and animal health disorders.Genus Fusarium and Aspergillus belong to a saprophytic group,which can infect and contaminate many crops at pre and post-harvest stages.Mycotoxins can have a variety of negative effects on health in both humans and animals.Mycotoxins and their metabolites can cause severe acute poisoning,which can result in death,as well as long-term negative health effects,such as cancer and immune-suppressive disorders in living beings(animals and humans).Mycotoxin contamination of agricultural goods has gained global significance,due to its toxic effects on living beings,as well as its importance to international trade.Our objective is to provide a consolidated information on the potential mycotixs in food grains and their significant impact on the health of the human beings. | Chennappa Gurikar D.P.Shivaprasad Luis Sabillón N.A.Nanje Gowda Kaliramesh Siliveru | 2023 | Grain & Oil Science and Technology2023,6,1: | 0 |
