Microcapsule Techniques to Emphasize Functional Plant Oil Quality and Their Applications in the Food Industry: A Review.

Natural functional plant oils (FPOs) have been widely exploited due to their abundant biological activities. However, when exposed to oxygen, light, moisture, and heat, some limitations such as oxidative deterioration, impaired flavor, loss of nutritional value and volatile compounds, and decreased shelf life hinder the widespread application of FPOs in the food industry. Notably, the microencapsulation technique is one of the advanced technologies, which has been used to maintain the biological and physicochemical properties of FPOs.

Anti-colorectal cancer activity of mannatide from spent brewer's yeast by regulating immune cells and immune function in the tumor microenvironment.

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are generally accompanied by adverse effects, which reduce tolerance to cancer therapies. Immunonutrition improves the clinical outcomes of cancer patients. Hence, natural immunomodulator is therefore considered as a favorable alternative.

Characterization, health benefits, and food applications of enzymatic digestion- resistant dextrin: A review.

Resistant dextrin or resistant maltodextrin (RD), a short-chain glucose polymer that is highly resistant to hydrolysis by human digestive enzymes, has shown broad developmental prospects in the food industry and has gained substantial attention owing to its lack of undesirable effects on the sensory features of food or the digestive system. However, comprehensive fundamental and application information on RD and how RD improves anti-diabetes and obesity have not yet been received. Therefore, the characterization, health benefits and application of RD in various fields are summarized and discussed in the current study.
