Article Abstract
A fast and straightforward reversed-phase dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (RP-DLLME) using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) procedure to determine free tryptophan in vegetable oils was developed. The influence of eight variables affecting the RP-DLLME efficiency has been studied by a multivariate approach. A Plackett-Burman design for screening the most influential variables followed by a central composite response surface methodology led to an optimum RP-DLLME setup for a 1 g oil sample: 9 mL hexane as the diluting solvent, vortex extraction with 0.45 mL of DES (choline chloride-urea) at 40 °C, without addition of salt, and centrifugation at 6000 rpm for 4.0 min. The reconstituted extract was directly injected into a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system working in the diode array mode. At the studied concentration levels, the obtained method detection limits (MDL) was 11 mg/kg, linearity in matrix-matched standards was R ≥ 0.997, relative standard deviations (RSD) was 7.8%, and average recovery was 93%. The combined use of the recently developed DES -based RP-DLLME and HPLC provides an innovative, efficient, cost-effective, and more sustainable method for the extraction and quantification of free tryptophan in oily food matrices. The method was employed to analyze cold-pressed oils from nine vegetables (Brazil nut, almond, cashew, hazelnut, peanut, pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, and walnut) for the first time. The results showed that free tryptophan was present in the range of 11-38 mg/100 g. This article is important for its contributions to the field of food analysis, and for its development of a new and efficient method for the determination of free tryptophan in complex matrices, which has the potential to be applied to other analytes and sample types.

Host - microbiome interactions are central to Crohn'sdisease (CD) pathogenesis; yet the early metabolic alterations that precededisease onset remain poorly defined. To explore preclinical metabolicsignatures of CD, we analyzed baseline serum metabolomic profiles in a nestedcase-control study within the Crohn's and Colitis Canada - Genetics, Environment, Microbiome (CCC-GEM) Project, a prospective cohort of 5,122 healthyfirst-degree relatives (FDRs) of CD patients. We included 78 individuals wholater developed CD and 311 matched FDRs who remained disease-free.

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion, causing intestinal damage and systemic complications. Essential amino acids (EAAs) play crucial roles in immune function, intestinal integrity, and metabolic regulation; however, their malabsorption in CD contributes to disease progression. Tryptophan dysregulation may influence mood disorders in CD, while phenylalanine and lysine are linked to immune activation and gluten modification.

Background: Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) intake has been linked to health benefits via modulation of the gut microbiome. Milk, where the majority of lactose is enzymatically converted to GOS (called here Novel or "N milk"), retains milk's nutritional value with reduced lactose and a high amount of prebiotic GOS.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of N milk on the gut microbiome and related changes in health-related biomarkers, complemented by ex vivo fermentation experiments.

Background: Elucidating the species selectivity mechanism of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) inhibitors (SDHIs) is crucial for the discovery novel eco-friendly SDHI fungicides. Fluxapyroxad (FLX), a representative SDHI, was investigated through in silico study to identify species-specific differences in its binding modes with SDH.
Results: SDH structure models of six species were constructed, and the model predicted by Discovery Studio 3.

Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) is a metabolite of tryptophan produced by gut bacterial catabolism that has a variety of functions, including anti-inflammatory, free radical scavenging, and regulation of glucose metabolism. The present study evaluated the effects of dietary IPA supplementation on early muscle development in piglets. Twelve healthy Landrace × Rongchang piglets at 30 d of age were randomly divided into control (CON group, 10.
