Nutritional erosion across a maize domestication gradient: evidence from bioactive compounds, peptides, and gut fermentation (ACS-Fall 2026) - Aug 24, 2026 - Abstract #4543707; Pres time: Aug 24, 2026; 09:05 AM - 09:30 AM; Location: S501bc (McCormick Place Convention Center); "Teosinte, by contrast, carried elevated antioxidant precursors including shikimic, caffeic, quinic, and chlorogenic acids...The contrast between modern cultivars and teosinte is consistent across metabolomics, peptide bioactivity, and gut microbial response. These findings give breeders a concrete, evidence-based roadmap to recover lost nutritional traits without sacrificing yield, with direct implications for global food and nutrition security."
