Soy extracts contain a mixture of isoflavones belonging to the group of phytoestrogens. In the quality control of soy the amount of isoflavones, both aglycones and glycosides, is usually determined by means of reversed-phase HPLC-UV. On conventional C18-material columns, long analysis times are required in order to separate this complex mixture. In order to speed up analysis, the separation was optimized using two linked monolithic silica-based reversed-phase C18 columns. A spectacular decrease of the analysis time, i.e. almost three-fold, was achieved by applying a flow rate of 3-4 ml/min without loosing any separation efficiency. This analysis method for determination of isoflavones in soy extracts in less than 25 min was fully validated according to the ICH guidelines.

This study investigated the effects of soy isoflavone yeast fermented extract (soyF) and soy isoflavone yeast unfermented extract (soyN) on rat ileal smooth muscle contraction. SoyF and soyN inhibited carbachol (CCh)- or KCl-induced contraction in a concentration-dependent manner; however, these effects were stronger for CCh-induced contraction than that for KCl, and the relaxation effect was stronger for soyF than for soyN. SoyF-induced relaxation was attenuated by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), a Kv channel inhibitor, and iberiotoxin (IbTX), a calcium-activated potassium channel (BK channel) inhibitor.

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of dietary starch concentration by replacing high-moisture corn with soy hulls and a direct-fed microbial (DFM) containing Bacillus subtilis 810 and Bacillus licheniformis 809 on the lactation performance, feeding behavior, total-tract nutrient digestibility, and enteric CH emissions of dairy cows. Sixty-four multiparous Holstein cows (67 ± 24 DIM and 729 ± 60 kg of BW at the beginning of the covariate period) were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement for a 12-wk treatment period, after a 1-wk acclimation period and 2-wk covariate period. Treatments consisted of diets with 21% starch and no DFM (RS-CON), 21% starch and DFM (RS-DFM), 27% starch and no DFM (NS-CON), and 27% starch and DFM (NS-DFM).

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) exhibit exceptional adsorption capacity but suffer from challenging desorption. In this study, a bromine-functionalized magnetic COF composite (FeO@COF-Br) was synthesized via bromodimethylsulfonium bromide-mediated bromination of imine-linked COF on FeO nanospheres (FeO@COF), where the COF framework was constructed by 1,3,5-tris(4-formylphenyl)benzene and 2,6-diamino-3,5-diethynylpyridine. Compared with pristine FeO@COF, FeO@COF-Br enhanced desorption efficiencies for brominated contaminants by about 30% while maintaining adsorption capacity.

Menaquinone-7, a form of vitamin K, plays a critical role in the treatment of hemorrhagic diseases caused by vitamin K deficiency and in the prevention of bone fractures. Microbial fermentation has emerged as a promising method for MK-7 production due to its high product optical purity and significant physiological activity. However, the current production efficiency of MK-7 remains insufficient to meet industrial demands.
