The term "functional foods" comprises some bacterial strains and products of plant animal origin containing physiologically active compounds beneficial for human health reducing the risk chronic diseases. Among best known functional probiotics, prebiotics natural antioxidants should be given as examples. These substances can obtained by biotechnological methods extraction from or tissues.
The increasing interest in sustainable materials has led to a growing exploration of natural biopolymers as matrices for these materials. Chitosan, valued its biocompatibility and biodegradability, is valuable raw material eco-friendly products. This study assessed the impact incorporating cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) propolis extract (EEP) on mechanical, physical, structural, gas barrier, antimicrobial properties chitosan-based films, especially within scope their prospective use packaging...
Due to antimicrobial properties, nisin is one of the most commonly used and investigated bacteriocins for food preservation. Surprisingly, has had limited use in animal feed as well there are only few reports on its influence microbial ecology gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The present study therefore aimed at investigating effects dietary broiler chicken GIT performance comparison salinomycin, widely ionophore coccidiostat. In total, 720 one-day-old male Ross 308 chicks were randomly...
Propolis is one of the bee products, with multiple biological properties used in numerous applications. The research objective was to determine chemical composition and (antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, cytoprotective activity) propolis extracts collected from various regions Poland. results indicated that total content phenols (116.16–219.41 mg GAE/g EEP) flavonoids (29.63–106.07 QE/g depended on their geographic origin. high epicatechin, catechin, pinobanksin, myricetin,...
Plastic pollution and environmental degradation necessitate the development of natural, biodegradable food preservation materials. This study examined chitosan-based film-forming solutions using kombucha derived from black tea, lemon balm, chamomile as natural solvents rich in bioactive compounds. Lemon balm were used to create chitosan films coat red peppers. The assessed mechanical properties effects coating on peppers, including texture, ascorbic acid content, sensory attributes,...
Hesperidin is a polyphenol derived from citrus fruits that has broad potential for biological activity and the ability to positively modify intestinal microbiome. However, its limited by low solubility and, thus, bioavailability—this research aimed develop zein-based hesperidin system with increased sustained release profile. The study used triple systems enriched solubilizers maximize solubility. best was hesperidin-zein-Hpβ-CD, which improved more than six times. A significant improvement...
Chitosan-based films show great potential in terms of application food preservation and are also promising carriers biologically active ingredients. This paper presents the use chitosan-based with addition essential oil components, e.g., carvacrol, eugenol, isoeugenol, intended for packaging. The characteristics obtained were determined, including antibacterial, mechanical, barrier, structural parameters. In addition, antibacterial antioxidant effects components assessed. Eugenol (44.41%)...
1. The aim of the present study was to investigate effects dietary administration a divercin AS7 liquid preparation on broiler chicken performance, nutrient digestibility, counts lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and coliform bacteria, as well microbial activity in gastrointestinal tract (GIT) expressed by digesta pH concentrations short-chain fatty acids acid. 2. A total 450 1-d-old male Ross 308 chickens were randomly distributed three treatments, with 15 pens per treatment 10 birds pen....
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of Carnobacterium divergens AS7 bacteriocin (divercin AS7) on growth performance, digestibility, fermentation processes, selected microbial populations, and histomorphology in broiler chickens challenged with a mixture 3 Clostridium perfringens isolates. In total, 480 one-day-old male Ross 308 chicks were randomly assigned 4 experimental groups (12 replicate pens 10 birds per treatment). diets either nonsupplemented or supplemented...
Aims: We have developed a PCR‐based assay using custom designed panel of primers which allows rapid detection class IIa bacteriocin‐coding genes. To demonstrate the applicability assay, method was applied on 40 metagenomic DNA preparations isolated from native microbiota Polish artisanal cheeses produced in Tatra Mountains. Methods and Results: The basis large scale alignment A seven primer pairs with confirmed ability to detect sequences obtained. following study has revealed superb...
Chitosan is a natural and biodegradable polymer with promising potential for biomedical applications. This study concerns the production of chitosan-based materials future use in medical industry. Bioactive substances-caffeine ethanolic propolis extract (EEP)-were incorporated into chitosan matrix to increase bioactivity obtained films improve their mechanical properties. Acetic citric acids were used as solvents films. The characterized terms antibacterial antifungal activities, well...
Adhesion is one of the main factors responsible for probiotic properties bacteria in human gut. Membrane proteins affected by cellular damage are key aspects determining adhesion. Fluid-bed-dried preparations containing were analyzed terms their stability (temperature glass transition) and shelf life different conditions (modified atmosphere, refrigeration). Imaging flow cytometry was utilized to determine four subpopulations cells based on physiological morphological properties. Lastly,...
This study investigates the potential of formulated systems utilising haskap berry leaf extracts and dextran as carriers, to modulate both antioxidant enzymatic inhibitory activities their impact on growth specific bacterial strains. The analysis capacity, assessed through ABTS, CUPRAC, DPPH, FRAP assays, revealed varying but consistently high levels across extracts, with Extract 3 (loganic acid: 2.974 mg/g, chlorogenic 1.125 caffeic 0.083 rutin: 1.137 quercetin: 1.501 mg/g) exhibiting...
The presented research evaluates the medical use potential of Lonicera caerulea leaves, which are waste plants in cultivating berries. study’s screening activity included leaves five varieties caerulea: Atut, Duet, Wojtek, Zojka, and Jugana. microbiological analysis confirmed safety using without significant stabilization. standardization was carried out based on results chromatographic analysis, it showed differences contents active compounds (loganic, chlorogenic caffeic acids, rutin),...
Fisetin (FIS), a senolytic flavonoid, mitigates age-related neuroprotective changes. An amorphous FIS dispersion with co-carrier was prepared using supercritical fluid extraction carbon dioxide (scCO2). Characterisation, including powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, confirmed amorphization assessed intermolecular interactions. The exhibited enhanced solubility, dissolution profiles, bioavailability compared to the crystalline form. In vitro, demonstrated...
The aim of this study was to compare the effect probiotic bacteria, prebiotics, phytobiotics and their combinations on performance microbial activity in digestive tract growing pigs. experiment conducted over 28 d 48 male pigs about 12 kg body weight (BW), which were allocated following treatments.: (1) Control Group (Con) without additive, (2) I, addition a prebiotic (inulin), (3) Ph, phytobiotic (herbal water extracts), (4) P, composed four strains lactic acid (5) PhP, bacteria (6) PhPI,...
