“…A previous study revealed that the minimum lethal dose of Se in the form of Na 2 SeO 3 varies from 1.5 to 8.0 mg/kg body weight in farm animals [12]. Here, the LD 50 of Se-enriched DB-yeast (18.97 mg/kg of Se content) was considerably higher than that of Na 2 SeO 3 (5.08 mg/kg of Se content) against mouse, indicating that organic Se (Se-enriched DB-yeast) is less toxic (non-toxic) than inorganic Se (Na 2 SeO 3 ), similar to the results reported by Adadi et al [11]. Therefore, Se-enriched DB-yeast has the potential to be a safe and effective Se-enriched fodder additive.…”

“…However, the growth performance of mice and GIFT treated with Se-enriched DB-yeast was not significantly increased compared with those treated with Na 2 SeO 3 , which was slightly different from the results reported by Yoon et al [32], where organic Se supplementation improved growth compared with inorganic Se supplementation in broiler chickens; however, this may because of variations in the growth performance of different species in the presence of Se. The GSH-Px activity level in the liver and serum is indicative of Se the status and antioxidant level of the organism [11,33]. GIFT treated with Se-enriched DB-yeast had significantly higher serum GSH-Px activities than those treated with Na 2 SeO 3 or no Se-additive, which was attributed to the Se sedimentation content in the serum, indicating that Se-enriched DB-yeast can be used as an effective Se-enriched fodder additive for GIFT.…”

Both inorganic and organic selenium (Se) can prevent and treat various diseases caused by Se deficiency. However, organic Se has less toxicity and a higher absorption rate than inorganic Se. In this study, inorganic Se (Na2SeO3) was bio-transformed into Se-enriched discarded beer yeast (Se-enriched DB-yeast) through fermentation accumulation by re-using discarded Saccharomyces cerevisiae from the beer industry for Se-enriched fodder application. Through a single-factor experiment and L9(34)-orthogonal test for optimization of fermentation conditions, the Se content and biomass of Se-enriched DB-yeast were calculated as 14.95 mg/L and 7.3 g/L, respectively, under the optimized condition. The total amino-acid content of Se-enriched DB-yeast was increased by 9.9% compared with that from DB yeast. Additionally, alkaline amino-acid content was increased, whereas acidic amino-acid and sulfur-containing amino-acid contents were decreased. Reducing capacity, hydroxyl radical removal capacity, and sulfhydryl content after treatment with H2O2 of the Se-enriched DB-yeast extracted protein were obviously increased compared with those of the DB-yeast extracted protein. Mouse and genetically improved farmed tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (GIFT) bioassays showed that the Se sedimentation of organs and serum indexes after feeding Se-enriched DB-yeast-containing fodder were higher than those of DB-yeast-containing fodder. The half lethal dose (LD50) of Se-enriched DB-yeast (9260.0 mg/kg body weight (BW), 18.97 mg/kg of Se content, non-toxic level) was considerably higher than that of Na2SeO3 (20.0 mg/kg BW, 5.08 mg/kg of Se content, highly toxic level) against mouse. Therefore, Se-enriched yeast prepared by re-using discarded S. cerevisiae from beer industry fermentation accumulation has the potential to be a safe and effective Se-enriched fodder additive.

“…Their findings prove that yeast cells are ideal capsules for encapsulating bioactive substances, which could be incorporated during the brewing of bioactive high-flavour pito. Moreover, it has been reported previously [9,151,152] that yeast possess the ability to bioaccumulate and biotransform materials into a bioavailable form in beverages.…”

“…Therefore, one potential possibility is to utilise TT (source of bioflavour and bioactive ingredients) and HS (bioactive ingredients) as inexpensive and readily accessible materials in designing functional flavoured pito. A recent report of the higher patronage of traditional gin 'akpeteshie' flavoured with prekese [9] further buttresses the feasibility of such a product. The development of products that confer beneficial effects on the health of the consumers is the theme of 21st century food research [34].…”

Sorghum beer (pito) is an indigenous alcoholic beverage peculiar to northern Ghana and parts of other West African countries. It is overwhelmed with calories, essential amino acids (such as lysine, etc.), B-group vitamins, and minerals. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for highly flavoured yet functional pito in Ghana; however, the local producers lack the prerequisite scientific expertise in designing such products. We propose the utilization of Tetrapleura tetraptera (TT) and Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) as cheap and readily available materials in designing functional flavoured pito. The addition of TT and HS would not alter the fermentation profile but rather augment the starter with nutrients, thus improving the fermentation performance and shelf life of the final pito. In vitro and in vivo studies provide substantive evidence of antioxidant, nephro-and hepato-protective, renal/diuretic effect, anticholesterol, antidiabetic, and antihypertensive effects among others of the TT and HS, hence enriching the pito with health-promoting factors and consequently boosting the health of the consumer. Herein, we summarise the phytochemical, biological, pharmacological, and toxicological aspects of TT and HS as well as the technology involved in brewing the novel bioactive-flavoured pito. In addition, we also report the incidence of heavy metal in conventional pito.

Voyage of selenium from environment to life: Beneficial or toxic?

Selenium (Se), a naturally occurring metalloid, is an essential micronutrient for life as it is incorporated as selenocysteine in proteins. Although beneficial at low doses, Se is hazardous at high concentrations and poses a serious threat to various ecosystems. Due to this contrasting ‘dual' nature, Se has garnered the attention of researchers wishing to unravel its puzzling properties. In this review, we describe the impact of selenium's journey from environment to diverse biological systems, with an emphasis on its chemical advantage. We describe the uneven distribution of Se and how this affects the bioavailability of this element, which, in turn, profoundly affects the habitat of a region. Once taken up, the subsequent incorporation of Se into proteins as selenocysteine and its antioxidant functions are detailed here. The causes of improved protein function due to the incorporation of redox‐active Se atom (instead of S) are examined. Subsequently, the reasons for the deleterious effects of Se, which depend on its chemical form (organo‐selenium or the inorganic forms) in different organisms are elaborated. Although Se is vital for the function of many antioxidant enzymes, how the pro‐oxidant nature of Se can be potentially exploited in different therapies is highlighted. Furthermore, we succinctly explain how the presence of Se in biological systems offsets the toxic effects of heavy metal mercury. Finally, the different avenues of research that are fundamental to expand our understanding of selenium biology are suggested.
