Annabella A. ADEWUNMI, Stephen O. FAPOHUNDA. Effects of exposure of wistar rats to mycotoxigenic fungal-contaminated guinea corn and pearl millet marketed in South West Nigeria; Recent Advances in Food Science; 2022; 5(2): 358-368

Guinea corn (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) and Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L) R. Br. are cereals widely planted and consumed as staples in Nigeria. Mycotoxigenic fungal contamination of these grains during storage can present food safety risks to consumers due to the presence of mycotoxins. The objective of this research was to evaluate through toxicological […]

Alice Coutinho GOULARTE, Cristiane CAPELLO, Germán Ayala VALENCIA. Recovery of Chlorophylls from Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Peel Using a Synthetic Layered Silicate; Recent Advances in Food Science; 2020; 3(2): 323-331

Cucumber peel has high amounts of chlorophylls (Chl), a natural pigment. However, the valorization of this agri-food waste has been little explored. The present work aims to develop and characterize biohybrids (BH) based on Chl from cucumber peel and laponite® (Lap). Chl from acidified juice (pH = 1) were completely recovered using Lap at 20°C. […]
