Flaking process increases the NF-?B inhibition activity and melanoidin extractability of coffee
Yi-Fang Chu, Kang Hu, Thomas Hatzold, Richard M. Black and Don Chen

Summary: Recent developments to improve the efficiency and extractability in coffee brewing have prompted the use of flaking technique in manufacturing roast and ground coffee products. Our study provides an initial insight into the effect of flaking in increasing melanoidin content in the extract, thus leading to elevated melanoidin-associated inhibition of NF-?B activation.

Mian-Ying Wang, Lin Peng, Claude J. Jensen, Shixin Deng and Brett J. West

Summary: A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial revealed that noni juice may reduce lipid peroxidation–derived DNA adducts in the lymphocytes of heavy smokers. This effect is associated with antioxidant activity of noni juice and the presence of iridoids, the major phytochemical constituents of noni fruit.

Summary: Intact starch granules are an interesting stabilizer candidate for food grade Pickering emulsions. The stabilizing capacity of seven different intact starch granules for making oil-in-water emulsions has been the topic of this screening study. Among all types of starch studied quinoa had the predominantly best emulsifying properties and surprising long term stability over 2 years of storage.
