Butyrate fermentation is a process that produces butyric acid via anaerobic bacteria. This process occurs commonly in clostridia which can be isolated from many anaerobic environments such as mud, fermented foods , and intestinal tracts or feces. [ 1 ]
Acetate, propionate and butyrate are the three most common SCFAs. [3] Butyrate is particularly important for colon health because it is the primary energy source for colonocytes (the epithelial cells of the colon). [1] [2] The liver can use acetate for energy. [5]
Ketogenesis is the biochemical process through which organisms produce ketone bodies by breaking down fatty acids and ketogenic amino acids. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The process supplies energy to certain organs, particularly the brain , heart and skeletal muscle , under specific scenarios including fasting , caloric restriction , sleep, [ 3 ] or others.
The Breuss Cancer Cure (BCC) claims to starve cancer cells by not providing solid food proteins, the idea is based on an erroneous assumption that cancer cells can only live on proteins of solid food. [3] The BCC is based on a vegetable juice that consists of 55% red beet root, 20% carrots, 20% celery root, 3% raw potato and 2% radishes. [3]
Food production In food production, propionate is a common preservative due to its ability to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth and its classification as safe for consumption. Swiss cheese is a food where propionate fermentation is commonly used for its unique flavor profile.
In particular, butyrate inhibits colonic tumor cells and stimulates proliferation of healthy colonic epithelial cells. [ 70 ] [ 71 ] The explanation why butyrate is an energy source for normal colonocytes and induces apoptosis in colon cancer cells, is the Warburg effect in cancer cells, which leads to butyrate not being properly metabolized.
Tributyrin is a triglyceride naturally present in butter.It is an ester composed of butyric acid and glycerol. [1] Among other things, it is used as an ingredient in making margarine.
It is commonly used to modify existing protein foods, including plant-based ones such as soy, into more flavorful forms such as tempeh and fermented tofu. More modern "fermentation" makes recombinant protein to help produce meat analogue, milk substitute, cheese analogues, and egg substitutes. Some examples are: [24]
