One of the most popular, cost-effective agricultural crops that are consumed globally is the potato. Due to the expanding food crisis, there is an increase in the demand for potato-based agro-food items. At the same time, it is noted that this pathway of ecological pollution from large-scale wastes is challenging to manage. Several by-products of industrial potato production, such as PPs, starch, flakes, and granules, are disposed of despite being rich sources of nutrients and bioactive ingredients.

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the relationship between the dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and the odds of elevated CRP (E-CRP). The findings suggest that higher DII scores are associated with increased odds of E-CRP, indicating a potential link between dietary inflammation and elevated serum CRP levels. Further well-designed studies are needed to explore the intricate relationship between diet, inflammatory biomarkers, and their impact on health outcomes.

We provide an update on the health benefits of white and green teas in this review, based on recent research done to present. After a general introduction, we have focused on the tea's anti-obesity and human health-promoting potentials, adverse effects, and new approaches to the tea and its bioactive compounds. It has been found that tea's health benefits are due to its bioactive components, mainly phenolic compounds. Of these, catechins are most abundant. This beverage (or its extracts) has potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which could contribute to body weight control and improvement of several chronic diseases. However, some studies have mentioned the possibility of toxic effects, so reducing tea consumption is a good idea, especially during pregnancy's last trimester. Additionally, new evidence will provide insight into the possible effects of tea on human gut microbiota and even on the viruses responsible for SARS-CoV-2. A beverage like this may favor beneficial gut microbes, which may have important implications due to the influence gut microbiota has on human health.

Considering this association, interventions to improve food and cooking skills may help promote healthy eating attitudes in students.

Rhizopus oryzae is able to utilize potato peel waste to produce DP4+, glucose, lactic acid, and ethanol. Potato peel waste particle size of 1–2 mm and loading rate of 8% were optimal for fermentation. PPW size of less than 0.125 mm and loading rate of more than 8% are not suitable due to high viscosity. 18.83 g/L of ethanol was produced at a rate of 9.41 g/L day with a yield of 0.235 g/gPPW. 3.14 g/L of lactic acid was produced at a rate of 1.89 g/L day with a yield of 0.039 g/gPPW.

However, no synergistic effect of the combination of daidzein, genistein, and L. acidophilus on calcium transport and bone metabolism was observed.

Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch, nuts are a renowned health food. However, there are many cultivars of this nut tree, and their mature kernel lipid composition has not been thoroughly studied. Therefore, we used liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) to analyze the lipid composition of mature nuts of five C. illinoinensis cultivars. In the mature kernels of all cultivars, there were 58 lipid types which were mainly composed of glycerolipids (c. 65%) and phospholipids (>30%). TG accounted for the largest proportion of mature nuts of all cultivars, exceeding 50%; and DG, Cer, PC, and PE were also relatively high. Additionally, nuts contain fatty acids, mainly oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. Our research provides a new perspective for the processing and utilization of plant and edible oils, and for the use of C. illinoinensis kernels in the development of medicine and food science.

We were able to demonstrate that Tibetan tea (TT) dramatically inhibited high-fat diet-induced weight gain, fat accumulation, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia in mice, as well as control the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism. The way that TT controls the gut microbiota produces short-chain fatty acids and controls the expression of genes involved in lipid synthesis may be responsible for its positive effects on obesity. Our research gave TT's potential as a functional beverage for the prevention and treatment of obesity a new direction.
