The present research investigated the enrichment of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graceum) seed substrate with phenolic antioxidants and L-DOPA via fungal-based solid-state bioconversion (SSB) system. This approach using food grade fungus Rhizopus oligosporus, was chosen because it has been demonstrated to be effective in other seed and food substrates for improving health-relevant functionality...

Long-term type 2 diabetes can lead to numerous biological complications, such as hypertension and cardio-vascular disease. Key enzymes involved in the enzymatic breakdown of complex carbohydrates,pancreatic alpha-amylase and intestinal alpha-glucosidase, have been targeted as potential avenues for modulation of type 2 diabetes-associated post-prandial hyperglycemia through mild inhibition of th...

Innovative food and feed products have recently attracted the attention of both producers consumers. Filamentous fungi are important biomass with their high protein contents. In this study, fungal production from edible potato liquor (PPL), generated during starch processes, was investigated through different strains ( Rhizopus oryzae , R. oligosporus delemar Aspergillus Neurospora intermedia )...

The solid state fermentation of Vigna unguiculata L. Walp (cowpea) and Arachis hypogaea (groundnut) was carried out using Rhizopus oligosporus at different inoculum size (1.89 x 102, 3.78 5.67 7.56 9.45 102 11.34 CFU g-1). Following for 72 hours, biochemical parameters were determined in fermented unfermented samples. All sizes produced significantly more phenol flavonoids the groundnut samples...
