Sustainable Fortification of Corn Tortillas with Broccoli By-Products.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Fortification is the deliberate addition of essential micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, to enhance a food's nutritional profile and contribute to public health. A promising approach to fortification involves the use of plant by-products which are rich in bioactive compounds. This study evaluates the effects of incorporating broccoli by-product powder into corn-flour tortillas. Five formulations were developed: a control (100% corn flour) and variations replacing 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% of the corn flour with broccoli by-product powder. Adding broccoli powder resulted in darker tortillas with slightly reduced firmness. Water and oil absorption capacities increased in fortified tortillas compared to the control. The broccoli powder in the tortillas significantly enhanced their nutritional profile. Calcium content increased nearly six-fold, while potassium and iron concentrations were tripled in tortillas fortified with 10% broccoli powder. Additionally, dietary fiber content rose by 23%. Antioxidant capacity improved significantly, particularly in total polyphenol content. Fortification also led to a significantly higher glucosinolate concentrations, notably neoglucobrassicin and glucoraphanin. Sensory evaluation showed that consumers found tortillas containing 2.5% to 7.5% broccoli powder to be the most acceptable. However, fortification at 10% negatively impacted overall acceptability, primarily due to the intensified brassica flavor. In conclusion, incorporating broccoli by-product powder into corn tortillas enhanced their nutritional and functional properties, whilst retaining acceptable sensory characteristics. This approach promotes the sustainable valorization of by-products, offering a viable, eco-friendly alternative for the development of functional, nutrient-rich foods that support sustainability in the food industry.
