Purpose: The study aims to address the gap in research concerning the stability of polysorbate (PS) in placebo samples, as opposed to drug products. While PS is a critical excipient in protein drug formulations, its stability in placebo samples has been less explored. Notably, PS in placebo samples is more susceptible to oxidation rather than hydrolysis, even at low temperatures like 5℃. The study seeks to provide a quantitative measure for PS oxidation, which has traditionally been described in vague terms.
Method: The research identified octanoic acid as an oxidative product of PS80, which can serve as a reliable marker for PS80 oxidation. This marker enables the detection of early signs of oxidation and facilitates a quantitative description of the oxidation status, regardless of the stress conditions and incubation times. The method's accuracy and precision were validated to be within 15%, aligning with industry standards.
Results: The use of octanoic acid as a marker successfully indicates the oxidation status of PS80, offering a quantitative approach to assess PS80 stability. This method provides a clearer understanding of the shelf-life of placebo products concerning PS80 stability.

Objectives: Recent evidence suggests that the gut may be a primary site of metformin action. However, studies on the effects of metformin on gut microbiota remain limited, and its impact on gut microbial metabolites such as short-/medium-chain fatty acids is unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of metformin on gut microbiota, short-/medium-chain fatty acids, and associated metabolic benefits in high-fat diet rats.

The interactions between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and non-Saccharomyces yeasts through secreted metabolites play a crucial role in shaping wine aroma profiles, yet the underlying mechanisms remain inadequately understood. This study used a cell/medium separation strategy coupled with transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to elucidate the influence of S. cerevisiae metabolites on aroma biosynthesis in Torulaspora delbrueckii during wine fermentation.

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.

In this study, different fatty acids were used for demulsification of peanut oil bodies (OBs) extracted by aqueous enzymatic method. Demulsification process was optimized, and mechanism of fatty acid demulsification was studied. By screening of fatty acids and optimizing demulsification process, octanoic acid had the best demulsification effect (98.

, also known as the yellow fever mosquito, presents a major public health challenge, highlighting the need for effective biorational agents for mosquito control. Here, we investigated the synergistic effects of essential oil mixtures derived from that is a mint-family shrub native to Brazil's Cerrado biome, known as "alecrim do Cerrado", in combination with essential oils from noni (), Brazilian mint ("salva-do-Marajó", ), and lemongrass () against . We conducted phytochemical analyses and assessed larvicidal, repellent, and oviposition deterrent activities.
