The primary product currently sold from is foie gras, with limited research conducted on the processing of meat, which consequently restricts its added value. Therefore, the objective of this research is to develop a processing technique for reconstituted goose cutlets using meat as the main ingredient, aiming for a compact structure and intact shape after frying. The study examined the effects of compound enzyme quantity, tumbling duration, and molding time on the quality of the reconstituted goose cutlets, utilizing bonding strength, cooking loss rate, color, chewability, adhesiveness, and sensory evaluation as key metrics.

Natural flavonoids have been shown to have many pharmacological activities. Efficient and continuous enrichment of total flavonoids with high content and low mobile phase usage from complex natural products is greatly needed at the moment. In this study, a new continuous chromatography system (CCS) with 6 zones and the 18-column dynamic tandem connection technique was developed and used to enrich total flavonoids from Epimedium koreanum Nakai (EKN).

In this study, an online preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC) system based on the combination of the enrichment and purification modes for the efficient and systematic separation of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) was achieved. Five separation columns were used for the first and second separation of target components, eighteen trap columns were used to capture the effluents from the first separation or loading the trapped sample effluents, and a two-position eight-port valve was used to switch between the first and second separations. The conditions for the first and second separation of PNS were simulated and optimized with the online prep-HPLC system.

Tea seed oil is rich in phenols with good antioxidant capacity. However, the antioxidant capacity evaluation of tea seed oil polyphenols is not deep enough, which mainly focusing on the evaluation of the chemical system. Thirty-nine phenols were tentatively identified by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis, including flavonoids and phenolic acids.

In this paper, a novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for specific adsorption of steviol glycosides was designed, and the imprinting mechanism of self-assembly system between template and monomers was clearly explored. Firstly, steviol (STE) was chosen as dummy template, and the density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31 + G (d, p) level was used to select monomers, imprinting molar ratios, solvents, and cross-linking agents. The selectivity to five steviol glycosides was also calculated.

Ginkgolide B (GB), the diterpenoid lactone compound isolated from the extracts of leaves, significantly improves cognitive impairment, but its potential pharmacological effect on astrocytes induced by β‑amyloid (Aβ) remains to be elucidated. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of GB on astrocytes with Aβ‑induced apoptosis in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Astrocytes obtained from Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into control, Aβ, GB and GB + compound C groups.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: There is substantial experimental evidence to support the view that Ginkgo biloba L. (Ginkgoaceae), a traditional Chinese medicine known to treating stroke, has a protective effect on the central nervous system and significantly improves the cognitive dysfunction caused by disease, including alzheimer disease (AD), vascular dementia, and diabetic encephalopathy. Although a number of studies have reported that ginkgolide B (GB), a diterpenoid lactone compound extracted from Ginkgo biloba leaves, has neuroprotective effects, very little research has been performed to explore its potential pharmacological mechanism on astrocytes under abnormal glutamate (Glu) metabolism in the pathological environment of AD.

In this work, a new online preparative high-performance liquid chromatography was developed for the fast and efficient separation of complex chemical mixtures from natural products. This system integrates two chromatographic systems into an online automatic separation system using the technique of multiple trap columns with valve switching. The sample was first separated into 18 subfractions in the online preparative high-performance liquid chromatography, and the sample eluents were then diluted and captured online on 18 trap columns by the multiple trap columns technique, respectively.

Efficient and economical separation and enrichment of high-content class compounds from complex natural plants are of great importance. This study describes a novel continuous chromatography system (CCS) with multi-zone and multi-column dynamic tandem techniques for the efficient and economical separation and enrichment of high-content class compounds from natural products. The CCS was split into eight zones (each zone covered 2 or 3 columns connected dynamically in a series) via a multi-channel logic control valve to continuously and automatically separate and enrich class compounds from complex natural plants.
