Article Abstract

The effects of hot air drying (HAD), microwave-assisted hot air drying (MHAD) and vacuum freeze drying (VFD) on the antioxidant and volatile profiles of blueberry pomace (BP) were investigated. The dried BP produced by VFD showed the highest content of antioxidant components and strongest antioxidant activity. MHAD shortened the drying time by 62.5 % with weakened antioxidant profiles. A total of 14 anthocyanin monomers were monitored by UPLC-ESI-MS while 49 typical volatile compounds (VOCs) were identified by HS-GC-IMS. According to orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and variable influence in projection (VIP) models, 21 VOCs were selected as key marker compounds. High temperature (≥ 50 °C) was beneficial to produce characteristic VOCs. The dried BP exhibited enhanced antioxidant profiles and pleasant aroma compared with the whole blueberry fruit. Overall, concerning the cost, antioxidant and aroma profiles, HAD at 60 °C is a suitable technique for the drying of BP.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a prevalent intestinal pathogen that significantly impacts both human and animal health. G83, isolated from giant panda feces, has demonstrated notable probiotic properties. In this study, C57BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into Control, ETEC, and G83 groups.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have gained prominence for their efficacy in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. Recent evidence suggests that their pleiotropic effects-beyond glycemic control and weight loss-include anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidative effects, which may beneficially support various dermatologic conditions such as psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acanthosis nigricans, and Hailey-Hailey disease. However, GLP-1 RAs are also associated with emerging cutaneous adverse drug reactions, including bullous, exanthematous and vasculitic manifestations, and other rare side effects.

Plastoglobuli (PG) are plant lipoprotein compartments, present in plastid organelles. They are involved in the formation and/or storage of lipophilic metabolites. FIBRILLINs (FBNs) are one of the main PG-associated proteins and are particularly abundant in carotenoid-enriched chromoplasts found in ripe fruits and flowers.

Constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by infrequent and difficult bowel movements, hard stool consistency, and delayed intestinal transit. The present study evaluated the phytochemical profile and physiological effects of the aqueous extract of beetroot leaves (AEBL) in a rat model of Loperamide (LOP)-induced constipation. Thirty-six male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to six groups (n = 6): two controls (normal and constipated) and four constipated groups receiving either increasing doses of AEBL (100, 200, or 400 mg/kg, b.
