Thanks to their phenolic profile, the pigmented varieties of corn could be an interesting source of dietary antioxidants for the formulation of new gluten-free ingredients. The aim of this research was: (1) to characterize the phenolic profile and the associated antioxidant properties of corn samples with different pigmentation, using spectrophotometric and chromatographic techniques and (2) to assess the stability of anthocyanins during the gastro-intestinal digestion. The pigmented varieties showed a significantly higher content of polyphenols compared to the common yellow varieties and, as a consequence, a higher antioxidant activity. Although corn is among the cereals most frequently used in gluten-free products, it can produce an inflammatory response in some celiac patients. Therefore, after the chemical characterization, the safety of the pigmented varieties for celiac patients was confirmed using different in vitro models (cell agglutination test and the measure of transepithelial electrical resistance). Although in vivo studies are necessary, the data collected in this study underline that the pigmented corn could have a role in reducing the oxidative stress at the intestinal level in celiac subjects. <a href="/2304-8158/10/8/1770">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/food_environment_health ">Food, Environment and Health Challenges</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/10/8/1770/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev605414"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next605414"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next605414" data-cycle-prev="#prev605414" data-cycle-progressive="#images605414" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-605414-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g001-550.jpg?1627977917" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images605414" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-605414-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g002-550.jpg?1627977917'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-605414-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g003-550.jpg?1627977917'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-605414-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g004-550.jpg?1627977917'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-605414-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g005-550.jpg?1627977917'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-605414-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g006-550.jpg?1627977917'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-605414-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g007-550.jpg?1627977917'><p>Figure 7</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-605414-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g001-550.jpg?1627977917" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Corn varieties included in the study and relative abbreviations.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/10/8/1770'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g002-550.jpg?1627977917" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>Soluble phenolic content (SPC) expressed as mg GAE/g (* <span class="html-italic">p</span> &lt; 0.05, ** <span class="html-italic">p</span> &lt; 0.01).</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/10/8/1770'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g003-550.jpg?1627977917" title=" <strong>Figure 3</strong><br/> <p>Correlation between soluble phenolic content (SPC) and the antioxidant activity (AOA) measured with: (<b>a</b>) DPPH and (<b>b</b>) TEAC assays.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/10/8/1770'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-01770/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-01770-g004-550.jpg?1627977917" title=" <strong>Figure 4</strong><br/> <p>HPTLC patterns of soluble phenolic fractions at visible light after derivatization with DPPH solution.

Earlier research on sustainable food consumption mainly focuses on diets, rather than single meals. Diets are difficult to measure, which is usually executed through self-reporting. This paper aims to identify frequently prepared dishes in a home setting through sales statistics, and how they can be altered to reduce climate impact and increase nutritional value. Commonly prepared food dishes in a home setting among customers of a major food retailer in Sweden were identified through sales statistics. The dishes were altered to reach nutritional and climate impact guidelines. Commonly prepared food dishes exceeded goals for climate boundaries by more than threefold and were not in line with nutritional guidelines. The content of fat, including saturated fat, was too high. Vegetables, fruits, wholegrains and fiber need to be increased. To reduce climate impact and increase nutritional value, the amount of animal-based product need to be reduced and/or exchanged to plant-based alternatives. This research contributes empirically to understandings of how portfolio management decisions influence food consumption based on sales statistics and how nutritional and climate impact guidelines can be applied from a single meal perspective. <a href="/2304-8158/10/5/932">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/food_environment_health ">Food, Environment and Health Challenges</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/10/5/932/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev542292"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next542292"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next542292" data-cycle-prev="#prev542292" data-cycle-progressive="#images542292" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-542292-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-00932/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-00932-ag-550.jpg?1619424114" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Graphical abstract</p></div><script id="images542292" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-542292-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-00932/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-00932-g001-550.jpg?1619424114'><p>Figure 1</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-542292-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-00932/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-00932-g002-550.jpg?1619424114'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-542292-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-00932/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-00932-g003-550.jpg?1619424114'><p>Figure 3</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-542292-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-00932/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-00932-ag-550.jpg?1619424114" title=" <strong>Graphical abstract</strong><br/><strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/10/5/932'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-00932/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-00932-g001-550.jpg?1619424114" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Characteristics of healthier and less land-intensive eating patterns with fewer greenhouse gas emissions (own version according to Garnett [<a href="#B3-foods-10-00932" class="html-bibr">3</a>]).</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/10/5/932'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-00932/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-00932-g002-550.jpg?1619424114" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>The 10 most sold protein sources at all Hemköp and Willys stores during 2019 and their relative percentage (of 100%).

This study determined the suitability of sorghum (<i>Sorghum bicolor</i> L. Moench) genotypes to alleviate protein, Zn and Fe deficiency under water-scarce dryland conditions through evaluation of NWP. Sorghum genotypes (Macia, Ujiba, PAN8816, IsiZulu) NWP was quantified from three planting seasons for various sorghum seed nutrients under dryland semi-arid conditions. Seasons by genotypes interaction highly and significantly affected NWP<sub>Starch, Ca, Cu, Fe</sub>, and significantly affected NWP<sub>Mg, K, Na, P, Zn</sub>. Genotypic variations highly and significantly affected sorghum NWP<sub>Protein, Mn</sub>. Macia exhibited statistically superior NWP<sub>protein</sub> (13.2–14.6 kg·m<sup>−3</sup>) and NWP<sub>Zn</sub> (2.0–2.6 g·m<sup>−3</sup>) compared to other tested genotypes, while Macia NWP<sub>Fe</sub> (2.6–2.7 g·m<sup>−3</sup>) was considerably inferior to that of Ujiba and IsiZulu landraces under increased water scarcity. Excellent overall NWP<sub>protein, Fe and Zn</sub> under water scarcity make Macia a well-rounded genotype suitable to alleviating food and nutritional insecurity challenges in semi-arid SSA; however, landraces are viable alternatives with limited NWP<sub>protein and Zn</sub> penalty under water-limited conditions. These results underline genotype selection as a vital tool in improving “nutrition per drop” in semi-arid regions. <a href="/2304-8158/10/2/385">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/food_environment_health ">Food, Environment and Health Challenges</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/10/2/385/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-496855-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-00385/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-00385-g001-550.jpg?1613985557" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div></div></div><div id="article-496855-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-00385/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-00385-g001-550.jpg?1613985557" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Daily rainfall (rain), reference evapotranspiration (ET0), minimum (Tn) and maximum temperatures at Ukulinga experimental site during three sorghum planting seasons.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/10/2/385'>Full article</a></strong> "></a></div> </div> </div> <div class="generic-item article-item"> <input class="article-list-checkbox export-element" type="checkbox" name="articles_ids[]" value="352460" data-select-all-name="article-listing"> <div class="article-content"> <div class="label right label__btn"> <span style="font-size: 12px; color: #1a1a1a;"> 12 pages, 1147 KiB   </span> <a href="/2304-8158/9/5/544/pdf?version=1589788679" class="UD_Listings_ArticlePDF" title="Article PDF" data-name="In Vitro Comparison of the Bioactivities of Japanese and Bohemian Knotweed Ethanol Extracts" data-journal="foods"> <i class="material-icons custom-download"></i> </a> </div> <div class="article-icons"><span class="label openaccess" data-dropdown="drop-article-label-openaccess" aria-expanded="false">Open Access</span><span class="label articletype">Article</span></div> <a class="title-link" href="/2304-8158/9/5/544">In Vitro Comparison of the Bioactivities of Japanese and Bohemian Knotweed Ethanol Extracts</a> <div class="authors"> by <span class="inlineblock "><strong>Lea Pogačnik</strong>, </span><span class="inlineblock "><strong>Tina Bergant</strong>, </span><span class="inlineblock "><strong>Mihaela Skrt</strong>, </span><span class="inlineblock "><strong>Nataša Poklar Ulrih</strong>, </span><span class="inlineblock "><strong>Jitka Viktorová</strong> and </span><span class="inlineblock "><strong>Tomáš Ruml</strong></span> </div> <div class="color-grey-dark"> <em>Foods</em> <b>2020</b>, <em>9</em>(5), 544; <a href="https://doi.org/10.3390/foods9050544">https://doi.org/10.3390/foods9050544</a> - 30 Apr 2020 </div> <a href="/2304-8158/9/5/544#metrics">Cited by 13</a> | Viewed by 3798 <div class="abstract-div"> <a href="#" onclick="$(this).next('.abstract-cropped').toggleClass('inline').next('.abstract-full').toggleClass('inline'); return false;"> <strong>Abstract </strong> </a> <div class="abstract-cropped inline"> Knotweed is a flowering plant that is native to temperate and subtropical regions in the northern hemisphere.

We evaluated Japanese (<i>Reynoutria japonica</i> Houtt.) and Bohemian (<i>Fallopia x bohemica</i>) knotweed rhizome and flower ethanol extracts and compared them in terms of their biological activities. The specific polyphenols were identified and quantified using HPLC/DAD, and the antioxidant activity was determined using 2,2-diphenly-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and cellular antioxidant capacity assays. The anticancer activity was evaluated as the difference between the cytotoxicity to cancer cells compared with control cells. The antimicrobial activity was determined using bacteria and yeast. The antidiabetic activity was tested as the ability of the extracts to inhibit α-amylase. Both rhizome extracts were sources of polyphenols, particularly polydatin and (−)-epicatechin; however, the cellular assay showed the highest antioxidant capacity in the flower extract of <i>F. bohemica</i>. The PaTu cell line was the least sensitive toward all knotweed extracts. The flower extracts of both species were less toxic than the rhizomes. However, the activity of the tested extracts was not specific for cancer cells, indicating a rather toxic mode of action. Furthermore, all used extracts decreased the α-amylase activity, and the rhizome extracts were more effective than the flower extracts. None of the extracts inhibited bacterial growth; however, they inhibited yeast growth. The results confirmed that rhizomes of <i>Reynoutria japonica</i> Houtt. could become a new source of bioactive compounds, which could be used for the co-treatment of diabetes and as antifungal agents. <a href="/2304-8158/9/5/544">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/food_environment_health ">Food, Environment and Health Challenges</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/9/5/544/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev352460"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next352460"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next352460" data-cycle-prev="#prev352460" data-cycle-progressive="#images352460" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-352460-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-09-00544/article_deploy/html/images/foods-09-00544-ag-550.jpg?1589788752" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Graphical abstract</p></div><script id="images352460" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-352460-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-09-00544/article_deploy/html/images/foods-09-00544-g001-550.jpg?1589788752'><p>Figure 1</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-352460-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-09-00544/article_deploy/html/images/foods-09-00544-g002-550.jpg?1589788752'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-352460-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-09-00544/article_deploy/html/images/foods-09-00544-g003-550.jpg?1589788752'><p>Figure 3</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-352460-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-09-00544/article_deploy/html/images/foods-09-00544-ag-550.jpg?1589788752" title=" <strong>Graphical abstract</strong><br/><strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/9/5/544'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-09-00544/article_deploy/html/images/foods-09-00544-g001-550.jpg?1589788752" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Mass fractions (<span class="html-italic">w</span>) of the investigated compounds in rhizome (<b>A</b>) and flower (<b>B</b>) extracts expressed in a mass of substance (in mg) in a gram of dry extract.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/9/5/544'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-09-00544/article_deploy/html/images/foods-09-00544-g002-550.jpg?1589788752" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>Antioxidant activity of knotweed extracts expressed as the Trolox equivalents (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), mmol/g).

The general description of solar cookers and dryers was presented, with a specific attention to the equipment where the cooking takes place with the contribution of the direct sunlight. Some insight about the history of design and development of devices that use solar light to process food were provided. The possibility to store the heat produced by solar light using Phase Change Materials was analyzed. Moreover, some “case-studies” were revised and discussed, in which solar light is efficiently used to dry or cook food, focusing on the quality of the food in terms of nutraceuticals content. The analyzed literature points out the necessity for further research about the effects produced by direct solar rays on different foods. The reliable data on this aspect will allow assessment of the quality of food transformation by solar cookers and dryers, adding a strong incentive to the development of such devices, up to now primarily motivated by energy-saving and environmental issues. <a href="/2304-8158/10/10/2326">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/food_environment_health ">Food, Environment and Health Challenges</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/10/10/2326/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev646952"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next646952"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next646952" data-cycle-prev="#prev646952" data-cycle-progressive="#images646952" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-646952-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-02326/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-02326-g001-550.jpg?1632982710" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images646952" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-646952-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-02326/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-02326-g002-550.jpg?1632982710'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-646952-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-02326/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-02326-g003-550.jpg?1632982710'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-646952-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-02326/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-02326-g004-550.jpg?1632982710'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-646952-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-02326/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-02326-g005-550.jpg?1632982710'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-646952-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-02326/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-02326-g006-550.jpg?1632982710'><p>Figure 6</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-646952-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-02326/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-02326-g001-550.jpg?1632982710" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>A general classification of solar cookers [<a href="#B28-foods-10-02326" class="html-bibr">28</a>].</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/10/10/2326'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-10-02326/article_deploy/html/images/foods-10-02326-g002-550.jpg?1632982710" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>Solar cooker (SC) with indirect cooking method.

Although the products available for celiac subjects have increased significantly in quality and quantity over the last few decades, research still focuses on identifying new ingredients to improve the nutritional, sensorial and functional qualities of gluten-free products. In terms of toxicity for people with celiac disease, there is a wide variability between ancient and modern grains. The most contradictory results are related to the role of oats in the gluten-free diet. In order to clarify the role of minor cereals (such as oat) and ancient grains in the diets of celiac patients, this review discusses recent in vitro and in vivo studies performed on those cereals for which the toxicity for celiac subjects is still controversial. According to in vivo studies, selected oat varieties could be tolerated by celiac patients. On the other hands, although some wheat-ancient grains (<i>Triticum monococcum</i>, <i>Triticum aestivum</i> ssp. <i>spelta</i> and Kamut<sup>®</sup>) showed a reduced in vitro toxicity, to date, these grains are still considered toxic for celiac patients. Contradictory results underline the importance of studying the safety of “unusual” cereals in more detail. <a href="/2304-8158/10/4/906">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo"
