Article Abstract

Coix seed is easy to be contaminated with aflatoxins. To find out its detoxification strategy and explore its storage environment affecting the contents of AFB, AFB, AFG, and AFG, 23 batches of coix seed samples were collected, in which nine batches of samples were selected to make mildewed by the method of artificial cultivation and natural mycotoxin production. These coix seed samples were further processed with plain-frying and bran-frying, respectively. Commercial coix seed samples had a high probability of containing AFTs with a detection rate of 87.0% and a rejection rate of 30.4%. The contents of AFTs in coix seed samples could be significantly decreased by both plain-frying and bran-frying processing. Compared with plain-frying, bran-frying processing can reduce the contents of AFTs in coix seed more effectively. Therefore, promoting the use of bran-frying processing will help reduce mycotoxin pollution in the food.

Backgroud: The gut microbiota composition influences the pathogenesis of sarcopenia via the "gut microbiota-muscle axis", with probiotics serving as potential therapeutic agents. Coix seed oil (CSO), a bioactive component of Coix lacryma-jobi l., exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effects, however, its therapeutic role in rheumatoid sarcopenia (RS) and the underlying mechanisms of actions remain incompletely understood.

Institute of Synopsis of Golden Chamber Department, School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, People's Republic of China.

Background: Extreme humidity exacerbates gastrointestinal disorders by disrupting gut microbiota homeostasis, compromising the intestinal barrier and triggering immune dysregulation. Coix seed ( L.), widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for eliminating dampness, shows promise; however, its mechanisms require further elucidation.

College of Food Science and Engineering/Collaborative Innovation Center for Modern Grain Circulation and Safety, Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, Nanjing, China.

Background: Coix seeds, with high nutritional values and health functions, widely grown in East and Southeast Asia, has been traditionally used as a healthy food and medicinal grain for more than 1000 years in China. This study aimed to characterize the structure of a novel polysaccharide from Coix seed (CSP-A) and investigate its digestion and fermentation properties by human gut microbiota.

Results: CSP-A is a water-soluble neutral polysaccharide (molecular weight ~ 2498 kDa) containing glucose and mannose with pyran group and α-glycosidic bond, and mainly contained α-d-Glcp-(1 → and →6), and α-d-Glcp-(1 →) two monosaccharide residues.

In order to understand the current situation of mycotoxin contamination and risk assessment of dietary exposure of coix seed ( sold in Gansu Province, China, a total of 67 coix seed samples were collected from the local markets and supermarkets in 14 prefectures and cities in Gansu Province. Sixteen mycotoxins were determined by isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The results showed that 37.
