Article Abstract
Bread is the staple food in many parts of the world. Like other foods, bread can contain mycotoxins resulting from microbial development throughout the supply chain (from field to table). In this study, baguette-style bread from small artisanal bakeries (direct) and supermarkets (par-baked loaves made by large companies) in Castile and Leon (Spain) was analyzed. Both white and whole-grain breads were collected from all retail outlets. The mycotoxins analyzed included deoxynivalenol (DON), ochratoxin (OTA), and aflatoxin B1 and B2 (AFB1, AFB2). All of the bread samples studied had mycotoxin levels below the maximum limits established by legislation. The presence of DON was higher than that of OTA, and AFB1 and AFB2 could not be quantified. Industrial breads had higher levels of DON and OTA (only in the whole-grain breads) compared to artisanal breads. However, no significant differences were found between white and industrial breads beyond those mentioned above. These results demonstrate that the established control chains ensure low mycotoxin content in bread of this type.

Salty crackers enriched with cricket () powder: a comprehensive quality and safety assessment study.
Food Chem X
August 2025
University of Chemistry and Technology Prague, Faculty of Food and Biochemical Technology, Department of Food Analysis and Nutrition, Technicka 3, 166 28 Prague 6, Czech Republic.
The formation of acrylamide was investigated in salty crackers enriched with cricket powder () since its addition increases the free asparagine content. Cricket powder additions (5, 10, 15 %) were tested on crackers prepared with white wheat flour or whole grain wheat flour, baked for 25, 35 and 45 min at 180 °C. Additionally, chloropropandiols (2- and 3-MCPD) fatty acid esters and glycidol fatty acid esters were investigated.

Background: The relationship between sports participation and food preferences in adults, as well as the influence of gender, is still unclear.
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between sports participation and individual food preferences and to explore potential gender differences among sports participants in a large group of Italian adults.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 2665 adults (aged ≥ 18 years) who lead normal lives and underwent a routine lifestyle and dietary assessment at a clinical centre specialising in nutrition, metabolic health, and lifestyle counselling in Rome.
Food as medicine: white and whole-grain bread consumption in relation to sarcopenia among older adults, insights from the Birjand Longitudinal Aging Study (BLAS).

This study aimed to examine the association between energy-adjusted consumption patterns of different types of bread, including whole-grain and white bread, and the risk of sarcopenia in older adults. In this cross-sectional study, sarcopenia was assessed using three tests: appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM), handgrip strength, and gait speed, in 1,325 older adults from the Birjand Longitudinal Aging Study (BLAS), conducted between September 2018 and April 2019. Bread consumption was evaluated through a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire.

The high glycemic index (GI) of polished white rice (WR) presents challenges for blood glucose control in diabetes. This study investigated the in vitro digestibility of a whole grain blend (WGB, composed of black, red, and brown rice) and its effects on the gut microbiota in elderly diabetic individuals. WGB exhibited lower starch digestibility (69.

Objectives: To investigate the associations between total and individual potato intake and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), estimate the effect on T2D risk of replacing potatoes with whole grains and other major carbohydrate sources, and conduct a dose-response and substitution meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.
Design: Prospective cohort study and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.
Setting: Individual participant data from Nurses' Health Study (1984-2020), Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2021), and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986-2018).
