Medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCTs) were synthesized from rapeseed oil (RO), one kind of commonly used edible (TGs), then delivered to high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rats. Compared with RO, MLCT consumption exhibited more potent effects on reducing body tissue weight gains, plasma TG, total cholesterol (TC) levels improving hepatic TC, fatty acid synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, lipoprteinlipase contents. Meanwhile, lower amounts tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), monocyte...

The research was performed to delineate how β-sitosterol laurate (β-SLE) consumption influenced serum and hepatic lipids. results showed that 220 mg/5 mL oil/kg body weight of β-SLE robustly reduced total triglyceride cholesterol levels the epididymal adipocyte size, efficiently protected polyunsaturated fatty acids against lipid peroxidation through superoxide dismutase glutathione transferase activity enhancement malondialdehyde level reduction. Based on changes fecal contents, bile acid...

Sanguisorba officinalis L. (family Rosaceae, subfamily Rosoideae) is a plant found throughout Southern Europe, Northern Africa, and Eastern Asia. This study demonstrated the antibacterial activity of purified polyphenolic extract (PPE) from S. against Bacillus subtilis using growth inhibitory apoptosis assays, investigated mechanism responsible for changes in cell membrane properties. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy suggested that PPE altered wall properties B. subtilis. Further...

This study evaluated the preservation effectiveness of selected antistaling agents on lotus seeds (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn) status and alteration phenolic acids during their storage. Ascorbic acid (AA), benzoic (BA), sodium hydrogen sulfite (SHS), BA+ AA SHS+ were identified as effective to keep fresh with order > SHS BA in terms general performance not-browning degree, microorganism contamination status, sensory evaluation, protection polyphenols against being oxidized. The determined by...

Microalgae, known for their land-sparing cultivation and remarkable photosynthetic efficiency, play a crucial role in advancing sustainable development goals. This study explored the use of cost-effective inorganic carbon (the ionic form CO2) organic sources (lactose, primary sugar whey wastewater) to support growth Chlorella Sorokiniana UTEX 1230, improved protein content through nitrogen supply optimization. NaHCO3 proved be more effective than Na2CO3, resulting 3.4-fold increase biomass...
