Nutrition fact label (NFL) use is related to meeting the requirements for vitamins and minerals not listed on NFLs: Data from the Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey VIII (2019 –2021) for the prepandemic and pandemic periods
by Jung Min Cho The credibility and wide usability of nutrition fact labels (NFLs) have increased due to the pandemic, which may lead to healthier nutritional choices. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the association between NFL use and meeting the estimated average requirements (EARs) for vitamins an d minerals not listed on NFLs during the prepandemic (2019,n = 6606) and pandemic periods (2020 and 2021,n = 12085) using KNHANES data. Household surveys, health behavior interviews, and health checkup examinations were conducted for all participants. Subjects were included in the unAware+noUse, Aware+noUse, and ...

Preparation of potential organic fertilizer rich in γ-polyglutamic acid via microbial fermentation using brewer's spent grain as basic substrate
Bioresour Technol. 2023 Dec 18:130216. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.130216. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBrewer's spent grain (BSG) is a main byproduct of the beer industry. BSG is rich in a variety of nutrients, and the search for its effective, high-value utilization is ongoing. Environmental probiotic factor γ-PGA was produced by fermenting Bacillus subtilis with BSG substrate and the fermenting grain components were analyzed. The γ-PGA yield reached 31.58 ± 0.21 g/kg of BSG. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and non-targeted metabolomics analyses revealed 73 new volatile substances in the fermenting grains. Furt...
