In the last decade, there has been an increase in the use of sprouted grains in human diet
and a parallel increase in the scientific literature dealing with their nutritional traits and …

Neuroactive compounds are synthesized by certain plants and microorganisms by
undertaking different tasks, especially as a stress response. Most common neuroactive …

Background Germination has been widely employed to produce germinated edible seeds
and sprouts for consumption in our daily life. Through simple germination procedures, many …

Sprouting induces activation and de novo synthesis of hydrolytic enzymes that make
nutrients available for plant growth and development. Consumption of sprouted grains is …

In plants, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) accumulates rapidly in response to environmental
stress and variations in its endogenous concentration have been shown to affect plant …

Background In recent years, with the accelerated pace of life and the high incidence of
chronic diseases, the demand for functional food has been increasingly urgent. Under such …

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring potential bioactive compound
present in plants, microorganisms, animals, and humans. Especially, as a main inhibitory …

We discuss the origin of 4-aminobutyrate (GABA) from glutamate and polyamines, and its
subsequent catabolism to succinic semialdehyde and either succinate or 4-hydroxybutyrate …

Emerging evidence has confirmed the role of emerging nonthermal stressors (eg,
electromagnetic fields, ultrasonication, plasma) in accumulating bioactive metabolites in …

Background In recent years, germination is used as a tool that improves nutritional quality of
cereals by increasing digestibility and concentration of bioactive compounds, and thereby …
