Changes of Phytochemical Contents in Sweet and Waxy Corn (Zea mays L.) as Affected by Cultivars and Growth Stages
Conclusion: Results suggested that the phytochemical contents of all five corn types showed diverse reliance regarding cultivars and maturity stages. The purple waxy and yellow sweet corn cultivars contained a high level of phytochemicals. This would open up a useful opportunity for the functional food industry as consumption of these corn cultivars would afford health benefits to consumers. (Source: Current Nutrition and Food Science)

Assessment of Process Variables on Vitamin B12 Production in Fermented Dairy Product Including Propionic Acid
The fermented dairy products produced by various microorganism’s activity provide valuable nutrients for human. Fermentation affects the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of foods as well as human health. In the present review, we describe the production of vitamin B12 in a fermented dairy product by Propionibacterium species. The effect of the process variables on vitamin B12 production in fermented dairy products e.g. pH, temperature, different carbon and nitrogen sources as well as the type and size of inoculum, the fermentation time and fermentation strategy, etc. are discussed. Finally, fermentation s...

Differential Effects of Dietary Fatty Acids on Body Composition and Adiposity
Recent evidence has highlighted that fat accumulation, particularly abdominal fat distribution, is strongly associated with metabolic disturbance. It is also well-recognized that the metabolic responses to variations in macronutrients intake can affect body composition. Previous studies suggest that the quality of dietary fats can be considered as the main determinant of body-fat deposition, fat distribution, and body composition without altering the total body weight; however, the effects of dietary fats on body composition have controversial results. There is substantial evidence to suggest that saturated fatty acids are...

Buckwheat Journey to Functional Food Sector
Conclusion: The biological value of buckwheat proteins is considerably high possessing the aminoacid score of 100 and the comparative metadata analysis revealed that it is richer in lysine, histidine and tryptophan than wheat, corn, barley and egg. Buckwheat seeds contain many fagopyritols amongst which fagopyritols A1 is an active constituent in insulin signaling and thus helps to treat diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome. The buckwheat crop is on decline which needs attention for its conservation, cultivation and improvement thus we present its livelihood framework for human welfare.
