Oil-based dressings and nanoemulsion sauces boost kale’s nutrient uptake, study finds
Riportato dall'IA Immagine generata dall'IA Verificato
Researchers at the University of Missouri report that pairing kale with oil-based dressings or specially designed nanoemulsion sauces significantly improves the bioaccessibility of its key carotenoid nutrients in a lab model of human digestion. Cooking kale alone does not enhance this process, but oil-containing dressings and advanced emulsified sauces appear to offer greater benefits, potentially informing new food products aimed at maximizing vegetable nutrition.
