Okada T, Kimura K, Goto N, Katsube-Tanaka T. Elimination of zero-repeat subunit in allergenic seed protein 13S globulin using the novel allele GlbNB2 in common buckwheat ( Fagopyrum esculentum Moench). FOOD CHEMISTRY. MOLECULAR SCIENCES 2024; 8:100205. [PMID: 38694165 PMCID: PMC11061244 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochms.2024.100205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024]
Abstract
Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) seeds contain 13S globulin, the zero-repeat subunit of which is trypsin-resistant and allergenic. Here, its two novel alleles were analyzed for development of hypoallergenic plants. The GlbNC allele has a Miniature Inverted-repeat Transposable Element (MITE)-like insertion in the 4th exon. However, most of the insertion was spliced-out, resulting in accumulation of zero-repeat subunit in GlbNC homozygotes. Meanwhile, the GlbNB2 has a 164-bp insertion in the 3rd exon, resulting in no accumulation of zero-repeat subunit in GlbNB2 homozygotes (NB2_homo). Both the insertion sequences were predicted to form a hairpin-like structure, and that of GlbNB2 was more rigid than that of GlbNC. Trypsin digestion in NB2_homo showed that the α polypeptide of Met-rich subunit is also hard to digest, that is a next target to eliminate for hypoallergenic buckwheat development.

Multi-omics identification of a key glycosyl hydrolase gene FtGH1 involved in rutin hydrolysis in Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum). PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL 2024; 22:1206-1223.

Abstract
Rutin, a flavonoid rich in buckwheat, is important for human health and plant resistance to external stresses. The hydrolysis of rutin to quercetin underlies the bitter taste of Tartary buckwheat. In order to identify rutin hydrolysis genes, a 200 genotypes mini-core Tartary buckwheat germplasm resource was re-sequenced with 30-fold coverage depth. By combining the content of the intermediate metabolites of rutin metabolism with genome resequencing data, metabolite genome-wide association analyses (GWAS) eventually identified a glycosyl hydrolase gene FtGH1, which could hydrolyse rutin to quercetin. This function was validated both in Tartary buckwheat overexpression hairy roots and in vitro enzyme activity assays. Mutation of the two key active sites, which were determined by molecular docking and experimentally verified via overexpression in hairy roots and transient expression in tobacco leaves, exhibited abnormal subcellular localization, suggesting functional changes. Sequence analysis revealed that mutation of the FtGH1 promoter in accessions of two haplotypes might be necessary for enzymatic activity. Co-expression analysis and GWAS revealed that FtbHLH165 not only repressed FtGH1 expression, but also increased seed length. This work reveals a potential mechanism behind rutin metabolism, which should provide both theoretical support in the study of flavonoid metabolism and in the molecular breeding of Tartary buckwheat.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of pre-germination treatments on the nutritional and anti-nutritional values of buckwheat and quinoa during germination. Pre-germination method was effective on the chemical composition and phenolic profile of buckwheat and quinoa samples (p < 0.05). During the germination, color changes were notable, particularly in the alkali-treated samples. The decrease in tannin content reached the highest rate in germinated buckwheat (83 %) and quinoa (20 %) by alkali treatment. The highest antioxidant and total phenolic content were measured in germinated pseudocereals treated by ultrasound. However, the lowest phytic acid content was determined after germination in the quinoa sample treated by ultrasound. Rutin was the major flavonoid in buckwheat while quercetin, galangin, ellagic, syringic, and p-coumaric acids were only synthesized after 72 h of germination. Catechin and epicatechin were decreased only in the alkali-treated buckwheat sample. Controlled germination processes can enhance the antioxidant activity and development of functional foods from whole grains.

Abstract
Tartary buckwheat is an annual minor cereal crop with a variety of secondary metabolites, endowing it with a high nutritional and medicinal value. Flavonoids constitute the primary compounds of Tartary buckwheat. Recently, metabolomics, as an adjunct breeding method, has been increasingly employed in crop research. This study explores the correlation between the total flavonoid content (TFC) and antioxidant capacity in 167 Tartary buckwheat varieties. Ten Tartary buckwheat varieties with significant differences in flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity were selected by cluster analysis. With the use of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, 58 flavonoid compounds were identified, namely, 42 flavonols, 10 flavanols, 3 flavanones, 1 isoflavone, 1 anthocyanidin, and 1 proanthocyanidin. Different samples were clearly separated by employing principal component analysis and partial least-squares discriminant analysis. Eight differential flavonoid compounds were further selected through volcano plots and variable importance in projection. Differential metabolites were highly correlated with TFC and antioxidant capacity. Finally, metabolic markers of kaempferol-3-O-hexoside, kaempferol-7-O-glucoside, and naringenin-O-hexoside were determined by the random forest model. The findings provide a basis for the selection and identification of Tartary buckwheat varieties with high flavonoid content and strong antioxidant activity.

Tartary Buckwheat ( Fagopyrum tataricum) FtTT8 Inhibits Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Promotes Proanthocyanidin Biosynthesis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:17368. [PMID: 38139196 PMCID: PMC10743629 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242417368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is an important plant, utilized for both medicine and food. It has become a current research hotspot due to its rich content of flavonoids, which are beneficial for human health. Anthocyanins (ATs) and proanthocyanidins (PAs) are the two main kinds of flavonoid compounds in Tartary buckwheat, which participate in the pigmentation of some tissue as well as rendering resistance to many biotic and abiotic stresses. Additionally, Tartary buckwheat anthocyanins and PAs have many health benefits for humans and the plant itself. However, little is known about the regulation mechanism of the biosynthesis of anthocyanin and PA in Tartary buckwheat. In the present study, a bHLH transcription factor (TF) FtTT8 was characterized to be homologous with AtTT8 and phylogenetically close to bHLH proteins from other plant species. Subcellular location and yeast two-hybrid assays suggested that FtTT8 locates in the nucleus and plays a role as a transcription factor. Complementation analysis in Arabidopsis tt8 mutant showed that FtTT8 could not recover anthocyanin deficiency but could promote PAs accumulation. Overexpression of FtTT8 in red-flowering tobacco showed that FtTT8 inhibits anthocyanin biosynthesis and accelerates proanthocyanidin biosynthesis. QRT-PCR and yeast one-hybrid assay revealed that FtTT8 might bind to the promoter of NtUFGT and suppress its expression, while binding to the promoter of NtLAR and upregulating its expression in K326 tobacco. This displayed the bidirectional regulating function of FtTT8 that negatively regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis and positively regulates proanthocyanidin biosynthesis. The results provide new insights on TT8 in Tartary buckwheat, which is inconsistent with TT8 from other plant species, and FtTT8 might be a high-quality gene resource for Tartary buckwheat breeding.

Abstract
Utilizing natural hypoglycemic ingredients in staple foods is a safe and effective way to improve diabetes. High Tartary buckwheat noodles have garnered research interest due to their hypoglycemic properties. However, increasing the Tartary buckwheat content poses challenges in noodle processing and affects their edible quality. Effective resting is a critical link to improve the processing performance of noodle and edible quality of noodle. Therefore, research was conducted on ultrasound assisted resting of Tartary buckwheat dough (TBD) to explore its feasibility and mechanism in improving the quality of Tartary buckwheat noodle. The results indicated that ultrasound treatment effectively promoted the migration of weakly-bound water towards strongly-bound water, thereby enhancing the gluten protein network structure and increasing the α-helix and β-sheet contents significantly (p < 0.05). Furthermore, Texture analysis indicated decreased hardness and adhesion, and increased elasticity and stretching distance in the final noodles. Ultrasound-assisted maturation pre-treatment shortens TBD's dough's resting time and improves noodle quality, according to this study.

Abstract
Menopause is a natural aging process characterized by decreased levels of sex hormones in females. Deprivation of estrogen following menopause results in alterations of dendritic arborization of the neuron that leads to neurobehavioral complications. Hormone replacement therapy is in practice to manage postmenopausal conditions but is associated with a lot of adverse effects. In the present study, the efficacy of buckwheat tartary (Fagopyrum tataricum) whole seed extract was investigated against the neurobehavioral complication in middle-aged ovariectomized rats, which mimic the clinical postmenopausal condition. Hydroalcoholic extraction (80% ethanol) was done, and quantification of major marker compounds in the extract was performed using HPLC. Oral treatment of the extract following the critical window period rescued the reconsolidation process of spatial and recognition memory, as well as depression-like behavior. Gene expression analysis disclosed elevated oxidative stress and neuroinflammation that largely disturb the integrity of the blood-brain barrier in ovariectomized rats. Gfap and Pparγ expression also showed reactive astrogliosis in the rats subjected to ovariectomy. The extract treatment reverted the elevated oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and expression of the studied genes. Furthermore, protein expression analysis revealed that Gsk-3β was activated differentially in the brain, as suggested by β-catenin protein expression, which was normalized following the treatment with extract and rescued the altered neurobehavioral process. The results of the current study concluded that Fagopyrum tataricum seed extract is better option to overcome the neurobehavioral complications associated with the menopause.

Abstract
The 13S globulin zero-repeat subunit is resistant to trypsin and may have higher allergenicity than the 1-6 tandem repeat subunits in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench). To explore alleles useful for lowering allergenicity, amplicon deep sequencing targeting the zero-repeat subunit gene was conducted in bulked genomic DNA from eight cultivars and landraces. The analysis identified a unique allele encoding a zero-repeat subunit with 10 amino acid insertion (10aa) at a position equivalent to the tandem repeat insertion. Prediction of its 3-D structure suggested that 10aa changes the β-hairpin structure in the non-10aa (native) subunit to a random coil, which is also found in 1- and 3- repeat subunits. Homozygotes of the 10aa allele were developed and showed that the 10aa subunit was more digestible than the native subunit. However, the 10aa subunit was still less digestible than the 1-6 repeat subunits, suggesting needs to explore unfunctional alleles.

Abstract
We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the antioxidant, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, and anti-glycation activities associated with the consumption of broccoli, red cabbage, alfalfa, and buckwheat seeds. Additionally, we explored the relationship between these biological activities and the profiles of amino acids, polyphenols, and organic acids identified in the seeds. Our findings demonstrated that red cabbage, broccoli, and buckwheat extracts exhibited significantly higher antioxidant potential compared to the alfalfa extract. Moreover, buckwheat displayed the most significant capacity for inhibiting alpha-glucosidase. Remarkably, broccoli and red cabbage demonstrated substantial anti-glycation and lipase inhibitory potentials. We identified the presence of amino acids, polyphenols, and organic acids in the extracts through untargeted metabolomics analysis. Correlation analysis revealed that pyroglutamic acid positively correlated with all the investigated functional properties. Most polyphenols made positive contributions to the functional properties, with the exception of ferulic acid, which displayed a negative correlation with all tested biological activities. Furthermore, gluconic acid and arabinonic acid among the organic acids identified displayed a positive correlation with all the functional properties. These results strongly support the anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, and anti-glycation potential of red cabbage, broccoli, and buckwheat seeds.

Abstract
Buckwheat (Fagopyrum spp.) is an underutilized resilient crop of North Western Himalayas belonging to the family Polygonaceae and is a source of essential nutrients and therapeutics. Common Buckwheat and Tatary Buckwheat are the two main cultivated species used as food. It is the only grain crop possessing rutin, an important metabolite with high nutraceutical potential. Due to its inherent tolerance to various biotic and abiotic stresses and a short life cycle, Buckwheat has been proposed as a model crop plant. Nutritional security is one of the major concerns, breeding for a nutrient-dense crop such as Buckwheat will provide a sustainable solution. Efforts toward improving Buckwheat for nutrition and yield are limited due to the lack of available: genetic resources, genomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics. In order to harness the agricultural importance of Buckwheat, an integrated breeding and OMICS platforms needs to be established that can pave the way for a better understanding of crop biology and developing commercial varieties. This, coupled with the availability of the genome sequences of both Buckwheat species in the public domain, should facilitate the identification of alleles/QTLs and candidate genes. There is a need to further our understanding of the molecular basis of the genetic regulation that controls various economically important traits. The present review focuses on: the food and nutritional importance of Buckwheat, its various omics resources, utilization of omics approaches in understanding Buckwheat biology and, finally, how an integrated platform of breeding and omics will help in developing commercially high yielding nutrient rich cultivars in Buckwheat.

Johnson JB, Walsh KB, Naiker M, Ameer K. The Use of Infrared Spectroscopy for the Quantification of Bioactive Compounds in Food: A Review. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28073215. [PMID: 37049978 PMCID: PMC10096661 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28073215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy (wavelengths ranging from 750-25,000 nm) offers a rapid means of assessing the chemical composition of a wide range of sample types, both for qualitative and quantitative analyses. Its use in the food industry has increased significantly over the past five decades and it is now an accepted analytical technique for the routine analysis of certain analytes. Furthermore, it is commonly used for routine screening and quality control purposes in numerous industry settings, albeit not typically for the analysis of bioactive compounds. Using the Scopus database, a systematic search of literature of the five years between 2016 and 2020 identified 45 studies using near-infrared and 17 studies using mid-infrared spectroscopy for the quantification of bioactive compounds in food products. The most common bioactive compounds assessed were polyphenols, anthocyanins, carotenoids and ascorbic acid. Numerous factors affect the accuracy of the developed model, including the analyte class and concentration, matrix type, instrument geometry, wavelength selection and spectral processing/pre-processing methods. Additionally, only a few studies were validated on independently sourced samples. Nevertheless, the results demonstrate some promise of infrared spectroscopy for the rapid estimation of a wide range of bioactive compounds in food matrices.

Abstract
The germinated seeds of many plants are a natural source of substances that can be used to supplement food and increase its functionality. The seeds' metabolism may be modified during germination to produce specific health-promoting compounds. Fagopyrum esculentum Moench is a rich source of nutrients. Buckwheat seeds modified during germination may be helpful as an additive to new functional food products with anti-atherogenic properties. However, their effect and safety should be assessed in in vivo studies. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect that adding modified buckwheat sprouts (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) to an atherogenic (high-fat) diet has on the morphology and digestibility parameters of rats. Buckwheat seeds were modified by adding the probiotic strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii. The study was carried out on 32 Wistar rats, and digestibility and blood counts were assessed during the experiment. There was no evidence of an adverse effect on the animals' weight gain and nutritional efficiency. However, the influence of diets with freeze-dried buckwheat sprouts on digestibility and morphological parameters was noticed. Fat digestibility registered a statistically significant decrease in the groups fed a high-fat diet with the addition of sprouts. The study shows a new direction in the use of buckwheat sprouts.

Abstract
In recent times, the popularity of seeds, other than cereals, in the diet has systematically grown. The fat contained in these products significantly affects their energy value as well as their biological and physicochemical properties, including their susceptibility to oxidation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the fat concentration and fatty acid (FA) composition of popular non-spice seeds used in food as a substitute for cereals or a functional additive. The research material consisted of thirteen groups of seeds derived from the following plants: amaranth, blue poppy, buckwheat, chia, flax, hemp, canihua, milk thistle, pumpkin, plantago, quinoa, sesame, and sunflower. The fat contents and fatty acid profiles differed significantly between the tested products and were dependent on the plant species. In all products, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs, 40-80% of total FAs) dominated. Linoleic acid was the main FAs in most tested seeds. The exceptions were chia and flax seeds, which were characterized by very high contents of α-linolenic acid, respectively, 62.0 and 51.4% of the total FAs. The share of monounsaturated FAs (mainly oleic acid) in the total FAs content was between 6 and 40%. All tested seeds (especially flax, chia, and hemp) have favorable values for their indexes of atherogenicity and thrombogenicity as well as the hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic ratio.

Abstract
In the present era, food scientists are concerned about exploiting functional crops with nutraceutical properties. Buckwheat is one of the functional pseudocereals with nutraceutical components used in the treatment of health-related diseases, malnutrition, and celiac diseases. As a preferred diet as a gluten-free product for celiac diseases, buckwheat is a good source of nutrients, bioactive components, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. The general characteristics and better nutritional profile of buckwheat than other cereal family crops were highlighted by previous investigations. In buckwheats, bioactive components like peptides, flavonoids, phenolic acids, d-fagomine, fagopyritols, and fagopyrins are posing significant health benefits. This study highlights the current knowledge about buckwheat and its characteristics, nutritional constituents, bioactive components, and their potential for developing gluten-free products to target celiac people (1.4% of the world population) and other health-related diseases.

Abstract
2S albumin (g11, g13, g14, and g28) is an important allergen in common buckwheat. g13 is hydrophobic, scarce, and less related to g14 than g11/g28 is related to g14. g13_null allele homozygote produced no g13 protein in seeds. Insert-like sequence of g13_null allele resided frequently in buckwheat genome. g13_null homozygote lowered allergenicity in common buckwheat.
2S albumin (g11, g13, g14, and g28) is an important allergen in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum). g13 is hydrophobic, rare in seeds, and may show distinct allergenicity from the others; therefore, we tried to eliminate this protein. Phylogenetic and property distance analyses indicated g13 is less related to g14 (Fag e 2) than g11/g28 is related to g14, particularly in the second domain containing the II and III α-helices. A null allele with a 531 bp insertion in the coding region was found for g13 at an allele frequency of 2 % in natural populations of common buckwheat. The g13_null allele homozygote accumulated no g13 protein. A BLAST search for the 531 bp insertion suggested the insert-like sequence resided frequently in the buckwheat genome, including the self-incompatibility responsible gene ELF3 in Fagopyrum tataricum. The g13_null insert-like sequence could, therefore, help in producing hypoallergenic cultivars, and expand the genetic diversity of buckwheat.

Abstract
Buckwheat sprouts are a source of various nutrients, e.g., antioxidant flavonoids, which have a positive effect on human health. This study analyzed the content of phenolic compounds and assessed their impact on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and dietary fiber in modified buckwheat sprouts. For this purpose, the buckwheat seeds were modified by adding Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii. The modified buckwheat sprouts showed a higher content of total phenol compounds (1526 µg/g d.w.) than the control sprouts (951 µg/g d.w.) and seeds (672 µg/g d.w.). As a consequence, a higher antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory effect were noted. Probiotic-rich sprouts also had the highest content of total dietary fiber and its soluble fraction. A correlation between phenolic compounds and the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as dietary fiber, was shown. The interaction between dietary fiber and phenolic compounds affects the bioaccessibility, bioavailability, and bioactivity of phenolic compounds in food. The introduction of probiotic yeast into the sprouts had a positive effect on increasing their nutritional value, as well as their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. As a consequence, the nutraceutical potential of the raw material changed, opening a new direction for the use of buckwheat sprouts, e.g., in industry.

Abstract
The literature reports that the consumption of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench), exactly the polyphenols it contains, is associated with a wide spectrum of health benefits. Therefore, the determination of the bioaccessibility of phenolic acids and flavonoids from buckwheat biscuits formulated from liquid-state fermented flours (BBF) by selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB) after gastrointestinal digestion was addressed in this study. Bioaccessibility could be defined as the fraction of a compound that is released from the food matrix in the gastrointestinal lumen and used for intestinal absorption. The bioaccessibility of eight phenolic acids (protocatechuic, vanillic, syringic ferulic, caffeic, sinapic, p-coumaric, and t-cinnamic) and six flavonoids (epicatechin, vitexin, orientin, apigenin, kaempferol, and luteolin) were provided for BBF and BBC (buckwheat biscuits prepared from fermented and unfermented flours, respectively). The bioaccessibility indexes (BI) indicated the high bioaccessibility of phenolic acids and improved bioaccessibility of flavonoids from BBF. Moreover, the data provide evidence for the suitability of selected LAB strains to be used as natural sour agents for further bakery product development rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids with LAB-dependent bioaccessibility.

Abstract
Although the nutritional and health benefits of buckwheat foods have been widely discussed and evaluated, studies on consumer perceptions of the health benefits of buckwheat functional foods and how these perceived benefits influence their consumption are scarce. On the basis of the theory of planned behavior, this study aimed to explore consumers' purchase intention and behavior toward buckwheat functional foods while assessing the impact of their perceived susceptibility and severity of health concerns on the purchase decisions for such foods. Using data from 1077 participants collected in person from Southwest China, we compared the influencing factors between consumer groups based on whether they were aware of the nutritive and health benefits of buckwheat. The results indicated that, apart from consumers' perceived behavioral control, their perceived susceptibility and perceived severity of three selected common health problems, perceived value and efficacy of buckwheat, and subjective norms were strong predictors of consumers' purchase decisions. Moreover, perceived susceptibility and severity were effective antecedents of the perceived value and efficacy of buckwheat, respectively. Consumers aware of buckwheat's nutritive and health benefits of buckwheat were less affected by perceived efficacy. This study highlights that the higher the susceptibility to the three selected common health problems, the greater the internal and behavioral changes toward the purchase of buckwheat functional foods. These findings reveal factors affecting consumers' healthy eating beliefs, which can be beneficial for both policymakers and marketers in formulating healthy diet policies and strategies in developing countries.

Abstract
Tartary buckwheat (TB; Fagopyrum tataricum Gaertn.) is an important multigrain crop and medicinal plant, but functional genomics and molecular breeding research in this species have been lacking for quite some time. Here, genome-wide screening was performed to develop simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers associated with six major agronomic traits and the rutin contents of 97 core germplasm resources. A total of 40,901 SSR loci were identified; they were uniformly distributed throughout the TB genome, with a mean distance of 11 kb between loci. Based on these loci, 8,089 pairs of SSR primers were designed, and 101 primer pairs for polymorphic SSR loci were used to genotype the 97 core germplasm resources. The polymorphic SSR loci showed high genetic variation in these core germplasm resources, with an average polymorphic information content (PIC) value of 0.48. In addition, multiple SSR markers, such as SXAU8002 [100-grain weight (HGW)] and SXAU8006 [stem diameter (SD)], were found to be associated with agronomic traits in the two environments. Finally, based on gene functional annotation and homology analysis, a candidate gene, FtPinG0007685500, that may affect the node number and SD of the main stem by participating in lignin synthesis was identified. This study reports the mining of genome-wide SSR loci and the development of markers in TB, which can be used for molecular characterization of the germplasm in its gene pool. In addition, the detected markers and candidate genes could be used for marker-assisted breeding and functional gene cloning in TB.

Abstract
Sufficient amount of minerals, vitamins, and proteins in human diet play indispensable role in maintaining the active metabolism for better human health. All the essential nutrients that are requisite for an individual's survival are acquired from plants as well as animals. Micronutrients and macronutrients directly influence the metabolic pathways and their deficiencies play a substantial role in development of manifold disorders. In addition to environmental factors, quality and quantity of foods are key factors in maintaining the human health. Transition from healthy to diseased state is concurrent with the pattern of gene expression that is largely influenced by nutrition and environment. A combined approach to study the influence of nutrition on expression of numerous genes can be well explored through nutrigenomic studies. Nutrigenomics includes studies wherein applied genomics is used to investigate nutritional science to understand the compartmentalization of genes that influence the cause of diet-related complications. This review describes the role of underutilized crops as frontline foods to circumvent the health complications through the nutrigenomic studies. Further dynamics of nutrigenomic tools to study the impact of nutrition on the changing pattern of genome stability and gene expression for developing precise safety measures against wide range of health ailments linked to metabolic networks. Additionally, this review provides detailed information on nutrigenomic studies undertaken to unravel the potential of underutilized crops to augment the human health and to carry the agronomic/genomic approaches to enhance nutritional profile of underutilized crops to overcome diet-related disorders.

Abstract
Buckwheat is a promising pseudo cereal and its cultivation history can be traced back to thousands of years ago in China. Nowadays, buckwheat is not only an ordinary crop but also a symbol of healthy life because of its rich nutritional and pharmacological properties. In this research, the current suitable areas of 19 wild buckwheat species were analyzed by the MaxEnt model, which proved that southwestern China was the diversity center of buckwheat. Their morphological characteristics and geographical distribution were analyzed for the first time. In addition, it was found that the change of buckwheat cultivation in three periods might be related to the green revolution of main crops and national policies. Meanwhile, the Sustainable Yield Index (SYI) value of buckwheat in China was the lowest from 1959 to 2016. Through the MaxEnt model, the potentially suitable areas of wild buckwheat would contract while cultivated buckwheat would expand under climate change. Accordingly, the diversity of wild buckwheat will decrease. Therefore, it is necessary to protect buckwheat resources as much as possible to strengthen the development and utilization of buckwheat resources. Moreover, the promotion of buckwheat diversity will be an important trade-off between food security, population growth, and land use under climate change.

Abstract
The key odorants of tartary buckwheat (TB) were researched by a sensory-directed flavor analysis approach for the first time. After the volatiles of TB were isolated by solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE), 49 aroma-active components with flavor dilution (FD) factors in the range of 1-2187 were identified using gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS) combined with aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). Geranylacetone, phenethyl alcohol, and β-damascone showed the highest FD factors of 2187. All 49 odorants were further quantitated by the internal standard curve method, and their odor activity values (OAVs) were obtained. The overall aroma of TB was successfully simulated (similarity > 98.16%) by mixing 16 odorants (OAV ≥ 1) with their natural concentrations. The omission tests revealed that geosmin, α-isomethylionone, α-methylionone, β-ionone, linalool, β-damascone, geranylacetone, guaiacol, ethyl hexanoate, geraniol, vanillin, tetrahydrolinalool, and 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3-(2H)-furanone were the key odorants of TB. Chiral analysis showed that tetrahydrolinalool and linalool existed as racemics in the commercial TB. The relative content of R-enantiomers of α-isomethylionone and α-methylionone was slightly higher than that of their S-enantiomers. The odor thresholds of R- and S-enantiomer of tetrahydrolinalool were first detected as 0.029 and 3.8 μg/L in air, respectively.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to provide information on the phenolic and sugar profiles of different parts of the buckwheat plant, which can define that buckwheat is a functional food, with a high nutritional value and very useful for human health. Therefore, the extracts of buckwheat leaf, stem, and flower, as well as buckwheat grain were analysed for the content of polyphenol and antioxidant tests. The identification of a notable number of phenolic compounds and quantification of sugars in different parts of buckwheat indicates that buckwheat is a highly valuable plant. A total of 60 phenolic compounds were identified (18 cinnamic acid derivatives, 14 flavonols, 13 flavan-3-ols (including proanthocyanidins), 10 hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives, and 5 flavones) using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), coupled with a hybrid mass spectrometer which combines the Linear Trap Quadrupole (LTQ) and OrbiTrap mass analyzer. The highest number of phenolic compounds was found in the analysed buckwheat flower sample, and then in the leaf, followed by the grain and the stem. In addition, the sugar profile of buckwheat leaf, stem, flower and grain, as well as the buckwheat pollen and the nectar was analysed. Hence, 16 sugars and 5 sugar alcohols were detected by the high-performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) with a pulsed amperometric detector (PAD). Sucrose was found in a significant amount with the highest content in buckwheat leaf. Trisaccharides had similar accumulation in the sample extracts, while disaccharides dominated in buckwheat leaf, followed by nectar and pollen. The sugar alcohols showed the highest content in buckwheat grain, where erythritol was predominant. The obtained results show that buckwheat is very rich in phenolic compounds and sugars. In addition to grain, the other parts of the buckwheat plant can be used as a very good source of different classes of phenolic compounds. This study provides useful information on the distribution of phytochemicals in different parts of the buckwheat plant, which contribute to the maintaining of the status of buckwheat as a functional food. The aim of this study was to provide information on the phenolic and sugar profiles of different parts of the buckwheat plant, which can define that buckwheat is a functional food, with a high nutritional value and very useful for human health.![]()

Abstract
In brewing, the use of cereals (wheat, barley, maize, rice, sorghum, oats, rye or millet), pseudo-cereals (buckwheat, quinoa or amaranth) and tubers (sweet potato), as starch adjuncts, is being promoted for the production of a variety of high-quality beers, from sensory and nutritional points of view. The sensory properties of the obtained beer depend on the characteristics of each adjunct but also on the forms in which the adjunct is added: whole cereal, grits, malted, extruded grains, torrefied and syrup. Among these common forms, the extruded grains (maize or rice) produce a higher content of aroma compounds in beer. From a nutritional point of view, the use of non-conventional starch adjuncts, such as black rice, buckwheat or sweet potato, leads to an increase in the polyphenol content of the beer, and thus, its antioxidant capacity. Cereals such as maize, rice, sorghum or millet are the most promising for the production of gluten-free beers. A close relationship can be developed between the use of adjuncts in the beer industry and the use of commercial enzymes. Advances made by biotechnology to design new enzymes with different functionalities could be associated to a future increase in adjunct usage in brewing.

Abstract
The expanded bioaccessibility of rutin (Ru) and quercetin (Q) from buckwheat biscuits (BBs) formulated from liquid-state fermented flours by selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were determined after gastrointestinal digestion. Fermentation of buckwheat flours caused a LAB-dependent variation in Ru and Q content. BBs baked at 220 °C for 30 min showed lower content of Ru and Q, and no correlation was found between the content of these compounds in fermented flours and BBs. The expanded bioaccessibility of Ru from BBs was low when its content in the soluble and insoluble fractions remaining after digestion in vitro was taken into account. Contrary results were found for Q bioaccessibility which had an index greater than 1, indicating the high Q bioaccessibility from BBs. Since very low Q content was noted in the insoluble fraction remaining after BBs digestion, the high Q bioaccessibility was determined to be due to its concentration in the soluble fraction.

Abstract
Buckwheat was processed by solid-state fermentation (SSF) with the probiotic fungal strain Eurotium cristatum YL-1. The effects of SSF on the phytochemical content, as well as the antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, on buckwheat were revealed. Metabolite differences between non-fermented buckwheat (BW) and E. cristatum fermented buckwheat (FBW) were investigated by LC-MS/MS-based untargeted metabolomics. Results showed that 103 and 68 metabolites remarkably differed between BW and FBW in positive and negative ionization modes, respectively. Most phenolic compounds and alkaloids were significantly up-regulated during SSF. Hydrolytic enzymes (i.e., β-glucosidase, α-amylase, protease, and cellulase) were produced by the filamentous fungus E. cristatum during SSF. In vitro spectrophotometric assays demonstrated that the total phenolics content, ferric reducing antioxidant power, reducing power, scavenging activities of DPPH radical and ABTS+, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of buckwheat were considerably enhanced after processing by SSF with E. cristatum. Additionally, solvents with different polarities significantly influenced the antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of buckwheat extracts. Our study indicated that processing by SSF with E. cristatum can greatly improve the phytochemical components of buckwheat and consequently contribute to its antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. SSF with E. cristatum is an innovative method for enhancing the health-promoting components and bioactivities of buckwheat.

Abstract
Dietary supplements have improved the prevention of insulin resistance and metabolic diseases, which became a research hotspot in food science and nutrition. Obesity and insulin resistance, caused by a high-fat diet, eventually result in severe metabolic diseases, can be prevented with the dietary supplement D-chiro-inositol (DCI). In this work, we isolated mice primary hepatocytes with palmitic acid stimulation and DCI was applied to compare and contrast its effects of in primary hepatocyte biology. Before and after intervention with DCI, we used RNA-Seq technology to establish a primary hepatocyte transcriptome gene profile. We found that both PA and DCI cause a wide variation in gene expression. Particularly, we found that DCI plays critical role in this model by acting on glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Overall, we generated extensive transcripts from primary hepatocytes and uncovered new functions and gene targets for DCI.

Abstract
Buckwheat sprouts are rich in several nutrients such as antioxidant flavonoids that have a positive impact on human health. Although there are several studies reported the positive impact of laser light on crop plants, no studies have applied laser light to enhance the nutritive values of buckwheat sprouts. Herein, the contents of health-promoting minerals, metabolites and enzymes as well as the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were determined in laser-treated (He-Ne laser, 632 nm, 5 mW) common buckwheat (CBW) and tartarybuckwheat (TBW) sprouts. Out of 49 targeted minerals, vitamins, pigments and antioxidants, more than 35 parameters were significantly increased in CBW and/or TBW sprouts by laser light treatment. Also, laser light boosted the antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory activities through inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2 and lipoxygenase activities, particularly in TBW sprouts. Accordingly, laser light could be recommended as a promising method to improve the nutritional and health-promoting values of buckwheat sprouts.

Abstract
A focus of research in recent years is the comparison of honey as the final product of bees with pollen and nectar of the plant from which the honey originates, as the main food source for bees. Buckwheat honey is recognized as a nutritionally valuable product, which provides a scientifically proven health benefit and is confirmed as a functional food. The quality of this type of honey is attributed to high levels of phytochemicals in buckwheat. The purpose of this study was the examination of similarity between buckwheat honey and buckwheat nectar and pollen, as well as simultaneous investigation of their chemical profiles and the origin of the honey. The phenolic profile of buckwheat pollen showed a lower number of flavonoids and phenolic acids than those of nectar and honey samples, but confirmed the presence of the most characteristic polyphenols derived from the buckwheat plant. The notable difference was found to be the presence of (epi)catechin units, its galloylated derivatives and procyanidin dimers, which were not present in honey. Honey polyphenols displayed a pronounced correlation with those of nectar, but not with those of pollen. Finally, by comparing the polyphenolic profiles of honey, nectar and pollen sharing the same geographical origin, new data could be provided for a potential assessment of the botanical origin of buckwheat honey.

Northrop G, Tosh SM, Bordenave N. Quantitative characterization of the digestive viscosity profile of cereal soluble dietary fibers using in vitro digestion in Rapid ViscoAnalyzer. Carbohydr Polym 2020; 248:116807.

Abstract
A standard method measuring viscosity (η) of cereal products through in vitro digestion in a Rapid ViscoAnalyzer has been developed previously and is predictive of some physiological effects of cereal foods. This paper proposes a simple mathematical model to analyze quantitatively the digestograms obtained by that method. Digestograms of twelve uncooked and cooked cereal products were generated and data quality was assessed. Experimental data were fitted with a viscosity model ηmodel=η1+η2, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were respectively viscosity decrease and viscosity increase components. The model showed very good agreement with experimental data and enabled interpretation of the digestograms in relation to the composition of the products: η1 was interpreted as the decreasing viscosity of digestible polymeric nutrients whereas η2 was interpreted as the viscosity development of viscous dietary fibers. This model may be useful to investigate quantitatively the biological effects of soluble dietary fibers in cereal products and similar products.

Abstract
Research groups have put significant emphasis on the evaluation of nutritional, health-promoting, and other biological activities of secondary metabolites from buckwheat. Among these phytochemicals, phenolic and lipophilic antioxidants, particularly, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and tocopherols, have been the focus of the latest studies since antioxidant activity has recently been associated with the possibility of inhibiting fungal growth and mycotoxin biosynthesis. The mycotoxin contamination of cereal and pseudocereal grains caused primarily by Fusarium, Penicillium, and Aspergillus species poses a significant hazard to human health. Therefore, efforts to examine the involvement of plant antioxidants in the biosynthesis of mycotoxins at the transcriptional level have emerged. In addition, hydrophobic interactions of buckwheat phenolics with cell membranes could also explain their capacity to reduce fungal development. Eventually, possibilities of enhancing the biological activity of cereal and pseudocereal phytochemicals have been studied, and sourdough fermentation has been proposed as an efficient method to increase antioxidant activities. This effect could result in an increased antifungal effects of sourdough and bakery products. This review reports the main advances in research on buckwheat phenolics and other antioxidant phytochemicals, highlighting possible mechanisms of action and processes that could improve their biological activities.

Abstract
Consumption of oat and buckwheat have been associated with various health benefits that may be attributed to their nutritional composition. We performed a systematic review to evaluate the profile and quantity of bioactive compounds present in oat and buckwheat. Among 154 studies included in final analysis, 113 and 178 bioactive compounds were reported in oat and buckwheat, respectively. Total phytosterols, tocols, flavonoids and rutin content were generally higher in buckwheat, β-glucans were significantly higher in oat, while avenanthramides and saponins were characteristically present in oat. The majority of studies included in current review were published before 2010s. The heterogeneous methodological procedures used across the studies precluded our possibility to meta-analyse the evidence and raises the need for harmonization of separation and extraction methods in future studies. Our findings should further stimulate the exploration of metabolites related to identified phytochemicals and their roles in human health.

Abstract
This study investigated the physicochemical, nutritional and sensorial characteristics of beef burgers formulated with quinoa flour (QF) and buckwheat flour (BWF) as replacers of the mixture of soy protein powder (SP) and bread crumb (BC). Six treatments were formulated in two groups (15% and 30% of added flour as Groups A and B, respectively). The oil absorption and water holding capacity were higher (P < 0.05) in Soy protein burgers (SPB) than in other burgers. The mineral content of magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc was higher in the quinoa burgers (QB) than in the other formulations for both A and B groups. Also, the result of sensory evaluation revealed increases (P < 0.05) in overall acceptability and taste attributes of QB and BWB (Buckwheat Burger) in both groups. The shelf life results showed significant differences between SPB and treated samples (QB and BWB). Therefore, these new beef burger formulations might be a viable option in improvement of nutritional, durability and sensory properties.

Abstract
The microbiological, microstructural, and physicochemical impact of aqueous ozone mixing (AOM) on semi-dried buckwheat noodles (SBWN) was elucidated in this study. Microbiological measurements declared that AOM reduced the initial total plate count (TPC) of SBWN significantly (P < 0.05) with a prolonged shelf-life of 2 ~ 5 days. Meanwhile, AOM reduced the cooking loss and water absorption along with the enhancement of hardness and tension force. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the protein network of surface and cross section became continuous and compact, and wrapped starch granules more effectively. Moreover, an obvious increase in the intensity of the high molecular protein bands was observed in the sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) patterns. Furthermore, the sodium dodecyl sulfate extractable protein (SDSEP) under non-reducing condition obviously decreased, and then the SDSEP under reducing condition changed insignificantly (P > 0.05). These results indicated that AOM mainly promoted the protein cross-linking of SBWN by disulfide bond (SS) cross-links.

Abstract
We investigated the interactions of two main phenolics, rutin and quercetin, with starch, the primary component of Tartary buckwheat. The addition of rutin or quercetin significantly affected the structural and physicochemical properties of the starch, and rutin showed a stronger effect than quercetin, particularly at a dose of 6% (w/w). Rutin better enhanced the aggregation of starch pastes and gel formation than quercetin according to our pasting, rheological and thermal property analyses. A scanning electron microscopy analysis of its morphology showed that rutin was more easily dispersed in starchy matrix than quercetin and acted as rigid fillers for gels. The nuclear magnetic resonance results showed different binding sites due to the steric hindrance of the rutin disaccharide groups (rutinose). These findings provide fundamental information about applying rutin during the whole grain processing of Tartary buckwheat.

Abstract
This study addressed determinations of the glycaemic index (GI), antioxidant capacity (AC), and phenolics content (TPC) of oat, buckwheat, and mixed oat/buckwheat breads. The bioaccessibility of TPC and the AC of breads were studied after in vitro digestion. The lowest values of the GI were determined for oat bread, whereas breads with the highest content of buckwheat flour had the highest AC. The digestion of breads showed that most of the TPC were found in the soluble fraction, but the phenolic compounds were still present also in the insoluble fraction after digestion. It was concluded that the mixed oat-buckwheat breads may serve as products with a medium GI, as a source of TPC, and as products with a high AC. It should be noted that enzymatic digestion or fermentation by microbiota could potentially enhanced breads antioxidant activity during digestion in the gastrointestinal tract.

Effect of Probiotics and Herbal Products on Intestinal Histomorphological and Immunological Development in Piglets. Vet Med Int 2020; 2020:3461768.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of probiotics and herbal products on the intestinal histomorphological and immunological development in piglets. Accordingly, 2-week-old piglets were allocated in 4 groups: C (basal diet), Pro (basal diet + probiotics), Pro+B (basal diet + probiotics + buckwheat bran), and H (powder of herbs). After 6 weeks of the experiment, 4 piglets from each experimental group were randomly selected and slaughtered at a slaughterhouse. Samples of tissue and digestive content from the jejunum and colon were collected for bacteriological, histological, and immunohistochemical examination. The results showed that probiotics increased the number of Lactobacillus spp. in the small (p < 0.05) and large intestines. The intestinal histomorphology was improved (p < 0.05) in all experimental groups by an increased villus height, VH : CD ration, colon crypt depth, and number of Ki-67+ epithelial cells. A higher number (p < 0.05) of goblet cells and their acidification were observed in group Pro, while the density of goblet cells was decreased by the herbs. Probiotics increased (p < 0.05) the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), density of CD3+ cells in Peyer's patches (PPs), and lamina propria (LP). In group H, a dual effect on the CD3+ cell distribution was observed. The herbs reduced (p < 0.05) the number of IELs and CD3+ in LP but increased the distribution of CD3+ cells in PPs. In the colon, herbs increased CD3+ cells in LP as well. It suggests that probiotics and herbs had influence on the intestinal histomorphology and the ability to modulate the mucosal immune system; however, the combination of probiotics and buckwheat bran was not so convincing, probably due to the inhibitory effect of the buckwheat bran on the probiotics used.

Abstract
Buckwheat sprouts (BS) becomes popular due to its' health-promoting properties as food product. The effects of fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus plantarum on antioxidant and hypolipidemic activities as well as functional composition in common BS cultivated in maifanite mineral water were investigated here. DPPH and ·OH results showed higher antioxidant potential in fermented BS compared to unfermented BS, due to the higher rutin, orientin, isoorientin, vitexin, isovitexin, and total phenolic and flavonoid contents. The S. cerevisiae-fermented BS also exhibited 113% and 110% higher DPPH and ·OH scavenging activities than the L. plantarum-fermented BS, respectively. In hyperlipidemic mice, blood lipid parameters were improved as dose-dependent manner when supplemented the food with S. cerevisiae-fermented BS. Fermented BS also restored liver antioxidant levels significantly. The fermented BS had greater effect on different parameters than those of unfermented BS. Therefore, fermentation is a valuable method to enhance the bioactive potential of BS.
