Although mannoprotein (MP) is known to increase the stability of anthocyanins, the MP-anthocyanin interactions and structural changes induced by the same remain underexplored. To bridge this gap, this work examined the complexation of cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) by MP and probed its effect on C3G properties. As a result, this complexation was shown to induce the static fluorescence quenching of MP and increase the thermal stability and antioxidant activity of C3G while decreasing its susceptibility to ascorbic acid, sucrose, and Fe-induced degradation and increasing its bioavailability during simulated in vitro digestion. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions were identified as the main complexation drivers and were demonstrated to change the self-aggregation behavior of both compounds and favor the formation of a cross-linked structure. Thus, our results show that MP addition is an efficient anthocyanin protection method and provide a theoretical basis for the utilization of MP and C3G.

In the current in vitro experiment, we fabricated and characterized placenta/platelet-rich plasma (PL/Pt) composite scaffolds and evaluated their effect on differentiating adipose stem cells (ASCs) into insulin-producing cells (IPCs) in vitro. The human placenta (PL) was decellularized (dPL), characterized, and digested in pepsin. PRP was extracted using a two-step centrifugation process and then freeze-dried.

Introduction: The presence of stem cells in the ovary has been a topic of discussion due to their questionable existence. Isolation of stem cells has been possible by enzymatic digestion; however, the percentage of cells harvested and expanded has not been satisfactory. This could be due to the lack of optimal adhesion provided by the standard commercial culture dishes, which affects the initial attachment and further growth of cells.

Huajiao seeds represent an underutilized high-quality woody oilseed resource rich in unsaturated fatty acids and diverse nutritional factors. This study investigated the quality characteristics and digestive behavior of two Huajiao seed oils (Zanthoxylum bungeanum seed oil (ZBSO) and Zanthoxylum schinifolium seed oil (ZSSO)). The results demonstrated that both oils were rich in unsaturated fatty acids, with ZBSO containing 76.

Tussah pupa protein (TPP), rich in diverse bioactive components and demonstrating extensive physiological activities, has attracted attention in food processing. However, its limited emulsion stability restricts application potential, requiring improvement of techno-functional properties. The effects of myofibrillar protein (MP) compounding coupled with ultrasonic treatment on the emulsifying properties and nutritional value of TPP were systematically investigated from a multi-scale perspective in this study.

In this study, we explored the application of lactoferrin-(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (LF-EGCG) complex with rapeseed, soybean, walnut, peanut and sesame oil for the preparation of Pickering emulsions and its spray-dried microcapsules. Spectroscopy and molecular docking revealed that LF-EGCG binds via hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces. Structural analysis demonstrated that 0.
