    Cancers of the lung, colon, liver, stomach, and breast are common worldwide and have significant fatality rates. Cachexia caused by cancer is the major cause of death in cancer patients, and malnutrition and metabolic illnesses have become more widespread in recent years. To combat these health conditions, proper nutrition is essential. Chickpeas include a variety of bioactive components, including antioxidants, phytochemicals, and bioactive peptides, all of which have preventative and protective health effects. This review summarizes the evidence-based studies on chickpeas’ ability to serve as a valuable source of bioactive chemicals that can help protect against many types of cancer. Chickpeas include secondary metabolites including quercetin and myricetin, as well as phenolic acids and vitamins A, B, and E, which may protect the body from free radicals. Chickpeas have the highest total phenolic content and essential amino acid concentration of any germinated seed. Chickpea storage proteins, such as globulins, glutelins, albumins, and prolamins, are high in protein and can help with cachexia. These proteins contain angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory and anti-proliferative capabilities, making them useful in the treatment of a wide range of cancers. As a result, this article provides advice to consumers on improving their eating habits to protect against and fight cancer and may serve as a foundation for future clinical studies. © 2023 The Author(s)

    Sonication and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma are sustainable emerging food processing technologies. The study investigates the impact of sonication, DBD-plasma, and thermal treatment (TT) on wheat sprout juice. The obtained results indicated a significant (p < 0.05) increase in chlorophyll, total phenolics, flavonoids, DPPH assay, and ORAC assay after DBD-plasma (40 V) and sonication (30 mins) treatment as compared to TT and untreated samples. Both emerging technologies significantly (p < 0.05) reduce the polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities, but the TT sample had the highest reduction. Moreover, the synergistic application of both technologies significantly reduced the E. coli/Coliform, aerobics, yeast and mold up to the 2 log reduction, but the TT sample had a complete reduction. DBD-plasma and sonication processing significantly decreased (p < 0.05) the particle size, reducing apparent viscosity (eta) and consistency index (K); while increasing the flow behavior (n), leading to higher stability of wheat sprout juice. To assess the impact of emerging techniques on nutrient concentration, we used surface-enhance Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as an emerging method. Silver -coated gold nano-substrates were used to compare the nutritional concentration of wheat sprout juice treated with sonication, DBD-plasma, and TT-treated samples. Results showed sharp peaks for samples treated with DBD-plasma followed by sonication, untreated, and TT. The obtained results, improved quality of wheat sprout juice, and lower microbial and enzymatic loads were confirmed, showing the suitability of these sustainable processing techniques for food processing and further research.
