Functional-Antioxidant Food

Abstract

Nowadays, people face many different dangers, such as stress, unsafety food, and environmental pollution, but not everyone suffers. Meanwhile, free radicals are the biggest threat for humans because they lead to over 80 different diseases composed of aging. Free radicals can only be eliminated or minimized with antioxidant foods or antioxidants. The chapter on the functional-antioxidant food presents the antioxidant functional food concept, the classification, the structure, and the extraction process of antioxidant ingredients. Various antioxidant substances such as protein (collagen), polysaccharides (fucoidans, alginates, glucosamines, inulins, laminarins, ulvans, and pectins), and secondary metabolites (polyphenols (phlorotannins, lignins, polyphenols), alkaloids, and flavonoids) also present. The production technology, the mechanism, the opportunity, and the challenge of antioxidants functional food also present in the current chapter. The current chapter also gives the production process of functional-antioxidant food composed of the capsule, the tablet, tube, the pills, the powder, and the effervescent tablet.

Phenotypic and genomic characterisation of performance of tropically adapted chickens raised in smallholder farm conditions in Ethiopia

“…Combinations of different parental lines originating mainly in France generate multiple Sasso crosses today. The specific chicken type of the present study, Sasso T451A, is a cross between T44 males (https://africa.sasso-poultry.com/en/sassoproducts/colored-chickens/male-breeders/ruby-t/; Tola et al, 2022) and S51A females (https://africa.sasso-poultry.com/en/ sasso-products/colored-chickens/female-breeders/sa51a/; Duy Hoan et al, 2023). The Sasso cross T451A has been introduced to sub-Saharan Africa as a slow-growing chicken suitable for raising in smallholder village conditions (Getiso et al, 2017;Yakubu and Ari, 2018;ACGG, 2019).…”
