Abstract
Andean crops such as quinoa, amaranth, cañihua, beans, maize, and tarwi have gained interest in recent years for being gluten-free and their high nutritional values; they have high protein content with a well-balanced essential amino acids profile, minerals, vitamins, dietary fiber, and antioxidant compounds. During the germination bioprocess, the seed metabolism is reactivated resulting in the catabolism and degradation of macronutrients and some anti-nutritional compounds. Therefore, germination is frequently used to improve nutritional quality, protein digestibility, and availability of certain minerals and vitamins; furthermore, in specific cases, biosynthesis of new bioactive compounds could occur through the activation of secondary metabolic pathways. These changes could alter the technological and sensory properties, such as the hardness, consistency and viscosity of the formulations prepared with them. In addition, the flavor profile may undergo improvement or alteration, a critical factor to consider when integrating sprouted grains into food formulations. This review summarizes recent research on the nutritional, technological, functional, and sensory changes occur during the germination of Andean grains and analyze their potential applications in various food products.

García-Mosqueda C, Cerón-García A, León-Galván MF, Ozuna C, López-Malo A, Sosa-Morales ME. Changes in phenolics and flavonoids in amaranth and soybean sprouts after UV-C treatment. J Food Sci 2023; 88:1280-1291. [PMID: 36880573 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
Sprouts, mainly from cereals, legumes, and some pseudo-cereals, are rich in nutrients and contain biocompounds, making them attractive for consumption. This research study aimed to develop treatments with UV-C light in soybean and amaranth sprouts and evaluate their effect on biocompounds content, compared with chlorine treatments. UV-C treatments were applied at distances of 3 and 5 cm and times of 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 min, whereas chlorine treatments were applied as immersion in solutions at 100 and 200 ppm for 15 min. Phenolics and flavonoid content were higher in UV-C-treated sprouts than in those treated with chlorine solutions. Ten biocompounds were identified in soybean sprouts, with increasing in apigenin C-glucoside-rhamnoside (105%), apigenin 7-O-glucosylglucoside (237%), and apigenin C-glucoside malonylated (70%) due to UV-C application (3 cm, 15 min); for amaranth sprouts, five biocompounds were identified, with higher contents of p-coumaroylquinic acid (17.7%) after UV-C treatment (3 cm, 15 min). The best treatment to achieve the highest bioactive compounds concentration was UV-C at a distance of 3 cm for 15 min, without significant modification on the color parameters, Hue and chroma. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: UV-C can be used to increase the biocompound content in amaranth and soybean sprouts. Nowadays, there is UV-C equipment available for industrial applications. In this way, sprouts may be maintained as fresh through this physical technology, and they will retain or increase the concentration of health-related compounds.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 821:153516. [PMID: 35101517 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Revised: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Constructed wetlands (CWs) are increasingly employed to remediate heavy metal and metalloid (HMM)-polluted water. However, the disadvantages of HMM removal by conventional CWs (without enhancement), such as an unstable and unpredictable removal efficiency, hinder the reliability of this technology. The objective of this study was to review research on enhanced CWs for HMM removal. In particular, we performed a bibliometric analysis to evaluate research trends, critical literature, and keyword evolution in recent years. Subsequently, we reviewed various enhanced approaches for the application of CWs for the removal of HMMs, including the use of improved substrates, aquatic macrophytes, microorganisms, bioelectrochemical coupling systems, hybrid CW, external additives, and operation parameters. Furthermore, the main mechanisms underlying HMM removal by these approaches are summarized. Our review clearly reveals that research on the remediation of HMM-polluted water via CW technology is receiving increased attention, with no apparent trends in topics. The selection of appropriate enhanced approaches or operation parameters as well as methodological improvements should be based on the dominant environmental conditions of the CW column and removal mechanisms for the targeted HMMs. Based on the established literature, several suggestions are proposed to guide the optimization of the design and operation of efficient CWs for the treatment of HMM-polluted water.

Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of peptides released from germinated amaranth during in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Food Chem 2020; 343:128394.

Abstract
Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) is an ancestral nutritional grain and good source of bioactive compounds as peptides. In this study, the effect of in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGD) of germinated amaranth on the release of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory peptides was evaluated. The germinated amaranth peptides generated during SGD were released after 90 min of incubation with pancreatin and fractioned to F1 (>10 kDa), F2 (3-10 kDa), and F3 (<3 kDa). Among germinated amaranth peptides fractions tested, F2 had the highest antioxidant activity, while F1 and F2 exhibited a high anti-inflammatory response caused by lipopolysaccharide-induced in RAW 264.7 macrophages. A total of 11 peptides sequences were identified in the fractions evaluated, and they exhibit potential biological activity against non-communicable diseases. The findings from this study showed first time report on bioactive peptides, especially anti-inflammatory, from germinated amaranth released by in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.

WATER RESEARCH 2019; 164:114937. [PMID: 31400593 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2019.114937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2019] [Revised: 07/25/2019] [Accepted: 07/30/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Constructed wetlands coupled with a micro-electric field (CW-MEF) is a novel and efficient water treatment technology. The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism and performance of trace metals (TMs) removal for CW-MEF systems during summer and winter. The mass distribution of TMs in plants and biofilms, physiological indices of wetland plants, and bacterial community structures on electrodes and in the rhizospheres were analyzed as well as to explore further the TM removal mechanism. Results show that the electric field intensities (EFI) of 100 and 200 mV cm-1 had a significantly promoting effect on TM removal. Maximum removal efficiencies for Cu, Zn, Cd, Co, Ni and Pb were 95.6, 80.1, 74.0, 67.1, 69.8 and 99.6%, respectively, in summer with a 5d-hydraulic retention time (HRT). An EFI of 100 mV cm-1 could alleviate the oxidative damage in plant cells by promoting the synthesis of reduced glutathione and an activity increase of catalase, thus increasing the phytoextraction for Cu, Zn and Cd. For biofilms, the MEF caused shifts in the bacterial community structures, and an EFI of 50 to 200 mV cm-1 significantly promoted the enrichment of Cu, Zn, Cd and Co by biofilms. Moreover, microorganisms related to TM tolerance and enrichment exhibited a high abundance with an EFI of 100 and 200 mV cm-1. It can be concluded that introducing MEF to CWs could intensify the TMs removal via the biological process and result in more efficient purification for TM-containing wastewater.
