Characterization and efficacy of α-glucosidase inhibitory peptides from enzymatically hydrolyzed Peanut meal.

Natural substances with α-glucosidase inhibitory activity have emerged as promising agents for the effective treatment of diabetes. In this study, peanut meal (PM) was enzymatically hydrolyzed using three proteases and fractionated by ultrafiltration. Among the resulting fractions, peanut peptide (PEP) in the 3 kDa-500 Da range demonstrated superior α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (69.

Effect of microencapsulation using peanut protein concentrate combined with resistant starch and β-cyclodextrin on the viability of Heal 19 during storage and in vitro digestion.

In this study, resistant starch and β-cyclodextrin were added to peanut protein concentrate to create probiotic microcapsules that protect the viability of Heal 19 during digestion and storage. The survival rate of probiotics after adding polysaccharides was 5.31-6.

Microcapsule Techniques to Emphasize Functional Plant Oil Quality and Their Applications in the Food Industry: A Review.

Natural functional plant oils (FPOs) have been widely exploited due to their abundant biological activities. However, when exposed to oxygen, light, moisture, and heat, some limitations such as oxidative deterioration, impaired flavor, loss of nutritional value and volatile compounds, and decreased shelf life hinder the widespread application of FPOs in the food industry. Notably, the microencapsulation technique is one of the advanced technologies, which has been used to maintain the biological and physicochemical properties of FPOs.

Paeonol ameliorates hyperlipidemia and autophagy in mice by regulating Nrf2 and AMPK/mTOR pathways.

Background: Hyperlipidemia, inadequate diet, and excessive medication increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Paeonl (Pae), a phenolic compound found in Peony and Angelica dahurica, can alleviate lipid metabolism disorders and lipotoxicity. However, the molecular mechanism of Pae alleviating hyperlipidemia remains unclear and needs to be further explored.

Preparation and Characterization of Prickly Ash Peel Oleoresin Microcapsules and Flavor Retention Analysis.

Prickly ash peel oleoresin (PPO) is a highly concentrated oil of Prickly ash essential oil and has a stronger aroma. However, its low water solubility, high volatility, difficulty in transport and storage, and decomposition by light, heat, and oxygen limit its wider application. To solve this problem, this study used freeze-drying or spray-drying, with soybean protein isolate (SPI) or gum Arabic (GA), combined with aqueous maltodextrin (MD) as the encapsulating agents to prepare four types of PPO microcapsules (POMs).

infection in humans and phytotherapy, probiotics, and emerging therapeutic interventions: a review.

The global prevalence of infection remains high, indicating a persistent presence of this pathogenic bacterium capable of infecting humans. This review summarizes the population demographics, transmission routes, as well as conventional and novel therapeutic approaches for infection. The prevalence of infection exceeds 30% in numerous countries worldwide and can be transmitted through interpersonal and zoonotic routes.

Comparative Analysis of Key Odorants and Aroma Characteristics in Hot-Pressed Yellow Horn () Seed Oil Via Gas Chromatography-Ion Mobility Spectrometry and Gas Chromatography-Olfactory-Mass Spectrometry.

Volatile compounds (VOCs) present in the oil extracted from yellow horn seeds were first analyzed using GC-IMS and GC-O-MS at varying roasting temperatures. A total of 97 VOCs were detected using GC-IMS, while 77 were tentatively identified using GC-O-MS. Moreover, both methods allowed the identification of 24 VOCs, of which the type of aldehydes is the most abundant.

Implications of Sphingolipids on Aging and Age-Related Diseases.

Aging is a process leading to a progressive loss of physiological integrity and homeostasis, and a primary risk factor for many late-onset chronic diseases. The mechanisms underlying aging have long piqued the curiosity of scientists. However, the idea that aging is a biological process susceptible to genetic manipulation was not well established until the discovery that the inhibition of insulin/IGF-1 signaling extended the lifespan of .
