“…A decrease in weight gain might be attached to a decline in feed intake ( FI ) or the enhanced degradation of lipids and proteins caused by the toxic effects of cadmium ( Erdogan et al, 2005 ; Hafez et al, 2023 ). Cd poisoning may cause weight loss due to its influence on gastrointestinal absorption ( Leal et al, 2023 ). According to Sant'Ana et al (2005) , growing Japanese quail imperiled to 100 ppm Cd chloride for 28 d considerably decreased body weight.…”

“…According to the findings of this research, the levels of primary anthocyanins in YZN1U were considerably greater than those in YZN1U, YZ6U, and YZ6C, exhibiting variances of 373.21%, 108.66%, and 597.37%, respectively ( Table 1 ). Fe is an essential element in the creation of hemoglobin, and a lack of this mineral in the human body can result in inadequate production of red blood cells and the development of anemia caused by iron deficiency [ 28 , 29 ]. Fe exhibits a notable positive correlation with delphinidin and luteolin.…”

Cooking can lead to varying degrees of nutrient loss in purple rice. For this investigation, two varieties of purple rice (YZN1 and YZ6) were chosen as the focal points to explore the metabolites associated with rice nutrition post cooking using nontargeted and targeted metabolomics techniques. The results showed that after cooking the two purple rice varieties, the contents of the flavonoids; OPC; TP; total antioxidant capacity; and K, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Ca, and Mg significantly decreased. Compared with YZN1U (YZN1 uncooked), the amino acid and mineral element contents in YZN1C (YZN1 cooked) decreased to varying degrees. After cooking YZ6, the contents of seven amino acids significantly decreased. Following the preparation of purple rice, the metabolites primarily engaged in the pathways of flavonoid synthesis and flavone and flavonol synthesis. Flavonoids, total antioxidant capacity, mineral elements, and amino acids showed a strong correlation with delphinidin and luteolin. The ROC analysis demonstrated that the value of the area under the curve for delphinidin and luteolin was 1 when comparing YZ6C (YZ6 cooked) and YZ6U (YZ6 uncooked), as well as YZN1C and YZN1U. Delphinidin and luteolin can be used as potential biomarkers of nutrient loss after cooking purple rice. This study holds significant implications for the balanced nutrition and healthy development of human dietary grains.

The Pb bioremediation mechanism of a multi-metal resistant endophytic bacteria Bacillus sp. strain MHSD_36, isolated from Solanum nigrum, was characterised. The strain tested positive for the presence of plant growth promoters such as indoleacetic acid, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase, siderophores, and phosphate solubilization. The experimental data illustrated that exopolysaccharides and cell hydrophobicity played a role in Pb uptake. The data further showed that the cell wall biosorbed a significant amount (71%) of the total Pb (equivalent to 4 mg/L) removed from contaminated water, compared to the cell membrane (11%). As much as 11% of the Pb was recovered from the cytoplasmic fraction, demonstrating the ability of the strain to control the influx of toxic heavy metals into the cell and minimize their negative impacts. Pb biosorption was significantly influenced by the pH and the initial concentration of the toxic ions. Furthermore, the presence of siderophores and biosurfactants, when the strain was growing under Pb stress, was detected through liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The strain demonstrated a multi-component based Pb biosorption mechanism and thus, has a great potential for application in heavy metal bioremediation.
