| Graphical Abstract
| Highlights
- Beetroot juice is rich in dietary nitrates and betalains, supporting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
- Regular intake helps lower blood pressure, improve endothelial function, and enhance nitric oxide bioavailability.
- Beetroot supplementation mitigates oxidative stress, aids glucose regulation, and improves lipid profiles.
- It contributes to weight management and athletic recovery by reducing inflammation and enhancing mitochondrial efficiency.

| Graphical Abstract
| Highlights
- Mango peels and pulps are rich sources of antioxidants and appropriate for developing health-promoting products.
- The UV-vis spectrophotometry effectively quantified total phenolics, flavonoids and carotenoids in mango byproducts.
- Mango peels contained the highest total phenolic (270.26 mg GAE 100 g-1 FW) and flavonoid (329.36 mg QE 100 g-1 FW) content, while carotenoids peaked in peels (85.69 µg g-1) and pulps (57.16 µg g-1).
- Phenolics peaked at the mature green, flavonoids at the partially ripe and carotenoids at the overripe stages.
- Indigenous mangoes showed higher bioactive concentrations in pulps and byproducts than the non-indigenous varieties

| Graphical Abstract
| Highlights
- MAZ-type Common beans are rich in essential nutrients and phytochemicals like flavonoids and phenolic acids.
- Color, flavonoids, and phenolic contents of the canned maz-type common beans were influenced by canning variables and beans' genetics.
- Canned beans showed better lightness and yellowness in color, enhanced flavor, and preserved their flavonoids and phenolic contents.
- The highest retention of phenolic and flavonoids content was observed in canned beans prepared by soaking beans for 30 minutes at room temperature followed by blanching at 75°C and 88°C, respectively, each for 30 minutes.

| Highlights
- Feeding rats with high protein diets increased their serum glucose and decreased Pi; however, cholesterol and phospholipids were not affected.
- High protein diets increased brush border membrane enzymes; ALkPase and GGTase but decreased sucrase activity.
- High protein diets increased ALkPase by increasing Vmax and GGTase by increasing Vmax and decreasing Km, whereas decreased sucrase by decreasing Vmax and Km.
- High protein diets decreased glycolysis, TCA cycle and HMP shunt but increased gluconeogenesis in the intestine as demonstrated by the enzymes.
- High protein diets decreased glycolysis and TCA cycle but increased HMP shunt and gluconeogenesis in the liver as shown by the enzymes.

| Graphical Abstract
| Highlights
- Ostrich oil includes high contents of unsaturated fatty acids
- The value of peroxide in liquid ostrich oil (4.54 ±0.01 mEq. O2 kg-1) is 2.67-times higher than solid ostrich oil
- Ostrich oil (liquid and solid oils) contains alpha-tocopherol
- Results of this study showed that the Saponification number of ostrich oil is close to the saponification number of corn (187–195), palm (190–202) and safflower (186–198) oils
