The aim of this study was to analyze whether it is possible to brew beer without using cereals so that the produced beverage could be easily accessible for the population suffering from celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders. Green lentil seeds were malted and then mashed using a congress mashing procedure to assess their advantages and disadvantages in the brewing process. Based on the congress mashing procedure, the mashing process needed to produce beer was developed, and beers were produced from the lentil malts germinated during malting for 96 h, 120 h and 144 h. It was possible to produce beers from the lentil malts; however, they were characterized by a lower alcohol content, lower degree of attenuation and some discrepancies between the concentrations of various volatiles (such as acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, and 1-propanol) compared to the control beer produced from barley malt.

Legume starches (black gram, green gram, pigeon pea, chickpea, field pea and lentil) were compared for their physico-chemical, morphological, thermal, pasting, rheological and digestibility characteristics. Pigeon pea starch showed higher values for transition temperatures and enthalpy of gelatinization. Pasting properties revealed the highest peak and final viscosities for black gram starch.

Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely distributed among plants, with bioactive properties, especially antioxidant activity. The search for sustainable extraction methods has driven the use of natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs), formed by combinations of natural compounds, such as organic acids, sugars, alcohols, and amino acids. This study optimized NaDES (sorbitol, citric acid, and glycine) efficiency and compared it to that of 70% methanol solution in extracting total soluble phenolic compounds (TSPCs) from six flours matrices-corn, buckwheat, biofortified orange sweet potato, red lentil, Sudan grass, and chickpea-before and after thermoplastic extrusion cooking.

Background And Objectives: Low potassium (K) diets are recommended for patients at risk of developing hyperkalemia, particularly those with impaired renal function or those who also use medications that can increase serum K levels. In such cases, a K-restricted diet can help reduce the risk of hyperkalemia and, consequently, cardiac arrhythmias and mortality. A diet rich in vegetables, greens, and fruits is essential for the prevention of chronic diseases and plays a vital role in the nutritional therapy of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

This study investigates the immobilization of phytase onto three solid carriers─sodium alginate/poly(vinyl alcohol) (AlgNa/PVA) beads, glass microspheres, and cellulose beads─for the purpose of phytic acid hydrolysis in food matrices. Phytase was either entrapped within the matrix (AlgNa/PVA, cellulose) or covalently bonded (glass microspheres) for enhanced stability and reusability. Glass microspheres demonstrated superior catalytic performance with higher activity retention and reusability and were thus selected for optimization.

Lentil is a nutritionally valuable legume crop, rich in protein, carbohydrates, amino acids, and vitamins, and is also used as green manure. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) plays a crucial role in lentil growth and development, yet there is limited research on isolating and identifying lentil rhizobia related to nodulation and nitrogen fixation. This study employed tissue block isolation, line purification, and molecular biology to isolate, purify, and identify rhizobial strains from lentils, analyzing their physiological characteristics, including bromothymol blue (BTB) acid and alkali production capacity, antibiotic resistance, salt tolerance, acid and alkali tolerance, growth temperature range, and drought tolerance simulated by PEG6000.
