The addition of select polyphenols to rice bran may inhibit the
detrimental effects of rice bran lipase and make the bran an
interesting source of edible oil, Indian researchers report.
Using simple brewers yeast to encapsulate polyphenols could mask
the unpleasant flavour and boost stability of water-soluble
antioxidants, says new research.
British researchers have received over 1 million euros to
participate in a global project to sequence the genes of tomato, a
health promoting ingredient used widely in the food industry.
Resources are being poured into research on a health promoting
ingredient used widely in the food industry as scientists set to
sequence a portion of the gene-rich regions of 12 tomato
chromosomes.
Tomatoes could hold the key to preventing the onset of age-related
diseases as UK scientists find the gene responsible for producing
the CGA antioxidant protects the celebrated Mediterranean food
against bacterial disease.
