23:T43e,Glucosinolates (GSLs) are a class of sulfur-containing compounds found predominantly in the genus Brassica of the Brassicaceae family. Certain edible plants in Brassica, known as Brassica vegetables, are among the most commonly consumed vegetables in the world. Over the last three decades, mounting evidence has suggested an inverse association between consumption of Brassica vegetables and the risk of various types of cancer. The biological activities of Brassica vegetables have been largely attributed to the hydrolytic products of GSLs. GSLs can be hydrolyzed by enzymes; thermal or chemical degradation also breaks down GSLs. There is considerable variation of GSLs in Brassica spp., which are caused by genetic and environmental factors. Most Brassica vegetables are consumed after cooking; common cooking methods have a complex influence on the levels of GSLs. The variationof GSLs in Brassica vegetables and the influence of cooking and processing methods ultimately affect their intake and health-promoting properties.24:T486,Animal-based agriculture and the production of protein-rich foods from animals, particularly from ruminants, are not sustainable and have serious climate effects. A new type of alternative proteins is now on the menu, namely animal proteins produced recombinantly by microbial fermentation. This new technology, precision fermentation, is projected to completely disrupt traditional animal-based agriculture. Certain milk and egg proteins along with specific meat substitute analog components produced by precision fermentation are already entering the market. This first wave of precision fermentation products targets the use of these proteins as protein additives, and several commercial players are already active in the field. The cost-efficiency requirements involve production titers above 50 g/L which are several orders of magnitude higher than those for pharmaceutical protein manufacture, making strain engineering, process optimization, and scale-up critical success factors. This new development within alternative proteins defines a new research direction integrating biotechnology, process engineering, and sustainable food protein production.25:T419,The growing demand for sustainable and healthy food alternatives has led to a significant increase in interest in plant-based protein products. Among the various techniques used in creating meat analogs, high-moisture extrusion (HME) stands out as a promising technology for developing plant-based protein products that possess desirable texture and mouthfeel. During the extrusion process, plant proteins undergo a state transition, causing their rheological properties to change, thereby influencing the quality of the final extrudates. This review aims to delve into the fundamental aspects of texturizing plant proteins using HME, with a specific focus on the rheological behavior exhibited by these proteins throughout the process. Additionally, the review explores the future of HME from the perspective of novel raw materials and technologies. In summary, the objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential of HME technology in the development of sustainable and nutritious plant-based protein products.
