- Food Hydrocolloids: Structure, Properties, and Applications
In food systems, the high affinity of hydrocolloids for water molecules significantly changes the rheological properties of food [3] Rheological properties are defined as mechanical properties that cause food deformation and flow in the presence of stress Thickening reduces the fluidity of food, essentially enhancing the interaction between macromolecules and solvents [4] Hydrophilic
- Community-Based Tourism: A Catalyst for Achieving the United . . . - MDPI
Community-based tourism (CBT) is an innovative and participatory approach that places local communities at the center of tourism development This model aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) Through a synthesis of global case studies from regions such as Nepal, Kenya, Costa Rica, South
- Dynamic Microbiome Responses to Structurally Diverse Anthocyanin-Rich . . .
Background Objectives: Anthocyanin (ACN)-rich foods are known to influence the gut microbiota composition, but the temporal dynamics and structural specificity of these effects remain poorly understood This study investigated how distinct ACN-rich fruit supplements impact the gut microbiome over time in the context of a Western-style diet We hypothesized that ACN-induced microbial shifts
- MDPI’s Journal Cluster of Food, Nutrition, and Health Science
Food and nutrition play a critical role in preventing noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease and maintaining overall health Throughout all stages of life, but especially during key developmental stages, nutrition can have a lasting impact For example, children that have access to a nutritious diet, within the first 2 years of life, have improved

- The Gut Mycobiome and Nutritional Status in Paediatric . . . - MDPI
Background: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder managed through a strict, lifelong low-phenylalanine diet, which may influence gut microbiome dynamics While gut bacterial alterations in PKU are increasingly investigated, the fungal community (mycobiome) remains largely unexplored This study compared gut mycobiome composition and dietary profiles of paediatric PKU patients and
