In order to improve the poor mechanical properties and strong hydrophilicity of soluble soybean polysaccharide (SSPS) based films, licorice residue extract (LE) was introduced into the film-forming matrix. In this study, the effect of the amount of LE on the microstructure, physical and functional performances of the SSPS-based films, and its antioxidant activity and practical application in delaying the oxidation of oil-fried peanuts were investigated. The results showed that the compounding of LE increased the tensile strength (TS) by 4.39 times, decreased the WVP to 62 %, and increased the contact angle by 17.77 %, respectively. FTIR and SEM analyses verified the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds among LE, glycerol and SSPS. Furthermore, radical scavenging activity experiments proved that the films possessed a superior capacity to scavenge DPPH and ABTS radicals up to 63.51 % and 93.10 % respectively, when the LE dosage was at 10 %. It is worth noting the shelf life of oil-fried peanut was extended by about 3.25 d at 60 °C (~65 d at 20 °C) with the packaging of SSS-LE8 film. The preparation of SSPS-LEx film could promote the development of biomass-based packaging materials and their preservation applications in nuts and other products.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are antidiabetic drugs developed using phlorizin, a natural glucoside, as the lead compound. Chemical glycosylation requires multi-step reactions involving protection and deprotection steps, posing challenges in terms of regioselectivity and environmental burden due to the use of hazardous reagents and harsh conditions. In contrast, enzymatic glycosylation using UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs) enables regio- and stereoselective glycosylation under mild conditions without protection and deprotection steps.

This study investigated the optimal conditions for enhancing protein quality and reducing anti-nutritional factors in soybean meal (SBM) through solid-state fermentation (SSF) with Among 78 isolates, strain MH03 exhibited the highest extracellular enzyme production and efficacy in enhancing SBM quality. Under optimized SSF conditions of 5 kg SBM, 5 cm thickness and 50 % initial moisture for 72 h, strain MH03 increased soluble protein from 3.31±0.

This experiment aims to investigate the physicochemical properties of fermented soybean meal (FSBM) and its effects on the growth and development of broilers when used as a substitute for soybean meal (SBM). The process optimization of FSBM was based on indicators such as particle size, moisture content, temperature, and the amounts of protease and microbial agents added. The physicochemical indicators of the FSBM meal were measured accordingly.

The increasing demand for environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional plastic packaging has driven interest in the development of biodegradable edible films with functional properties. In this work, edible blend films were developed based on fish gelatin (FG), soluble soybean polysaccharide (SSPS), and tea polyphenol (TP) for active food packaging applications. The FG/SSPS/TP films were prepared by solvent casting and characterized in terms of their structural, mechanical, optical, thermal, and barrier properties.

Oxidative stress directly or indirectly contributes to the development and progression of various diseases; therefore, regulating oxidative stress is a promising strategy for preventing or treating these conditions. The unique substances in soybeans, soy isoflavones, notably genistein, which have a strong antioxidant capacity, are considered to regulate various signaling pathways, alleviate oxidative stress, and improve gut microbiota imbalance as well as mitochondrial dysfunction. In this literature review, we summarize the latest research on genistein, providing evidence of its development and application as a potential drug for preventing and treating five selected diseases (Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and cancers).
