A composite nanogel was developed for cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) delivery by combining Maillard reaction and heat gelation. The starting materials utilized were ovalbumin, dextran, pectin. C3G-loaded spherical with a diameter of ∼185 nm, which maintained over wide range pH NaCl concentrations. enhanced the chemical stability C3G under accelerated degradation models simulated gastrointestinal tract. Clathrin-mediated, caveolae-mediated, macropinocytosis-related endocytosis contributed to...

Previous studies have demonstrated that polypeptides extracted from fish protein possess potential anti-inflammatory effects, but few reported the underlying mechanism of sturgeon peptides. Hence, goal this study was to explore peptide sequences with activity derived muscle in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 inflammatory model. Fourteen novel peptides were identified major proteins by mass spectrometry, and three synthetic – KIWHHTF, VHYAGTVDY, HLDDALRGQE - decreased release...

Previous studies have suggested that polypeptides extracted from milk, soybean, fish, eggs, and meat possess potential anti-inflammatory effects. To date, few reported the function of sturgeon peptides their underlying mechanisms are unknown. The current study was therefore to determine with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 inflammatory model. Pepsin hydrolysate (PeH) purified by ultrafiltration Sephadex G-15 gel filtration chromatography. PeH significantly reduced mediator (NO)...

The influences of MCT (liquid) and GTS (solid) contents in the lipid matrix NLCs on their delivering capacities with respect to curcumin were investigated by using a simulated gastrointestinal tract Caco-2 monolayer models.

Burdock (Arctium lappa L) root is eaten as a vegetable in many countries and used an ethnomedicine because of its various pharmacological effects. The objective this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms ethanolic extract from Arctium L (ALE) lose weight regulate lipid metabolism. results showed that ALE can metabolism level inhibit gain rats induced by high-sugar high-fat diet. contents triglyceride cholesterol liver obese significantly reduced, hepatic steatosis ameliorated....

This study aimed to analyze and compare the nutritional quality of powders burdock root from Fengxian (FX) Peixian (PX) in China. The nutrient composition including carbohydrates, protein, amino acids, vitamin C, carotenoids, as well total phenols, flavonoids phenolic compounds were investigated addition vitro antioxidant capacity. results showed that basic nutrients powder (BRP) both locations did not have significant differences (p > 0.05), although capacity BRP (F-BRP) was greater than...

Burdock holocellulose nanocrystals exhibited remarkable inhibitory effects against α-amylase and α-glucosidase, they reduced the digestion rate extent of corn starch, suggesting their potential in blocking postprandial glycemic upsurge.

Burdocks have diverse nutritional and pharmacological functions, but their unique odor is unwelcome. Here, the effect mechanism of lactic acid bacteria fermentation on off-odor burdocks were investigated. The sensory evaluation showed that had earthy, musty, grassy, pepper odors. 2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IBMP) 2-secbutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IPMP) mainly contributed to burdock's identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry combined with headspace-solid phase microextraction...

Long-term consumption of Arctium lappa L. roots can lead to weight loss. To explore the relationship between anti-obesity and anti-inflammation, effects mechanism A. root powder (ARP) on intestinal inflammation in obese rats were investigated. Dietary successfully established by feeding a high-fat high-sugar diet. The control group (n = 6) consumed normal intestines compared among groups (each n with without administration ARP (intragastric 7.5 g/kg·bw/d). Real-time quantitative reverse...

Ala-His-Leu-Leu (AHLL) was isolated and purified from the loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) hydrolysate in our previous study. The aim of this study to investigate antihypertensive effects angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide AHLL spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). showed good SHRs during long-term oral administration no allergic reactions or coughing were observed. After 2 months AHLL, body weight growth normal. decrements systolic blood pressure high dose (5 mg/kg...

Summary In this study, the release of lutein from calcium alginate hydrogels during simulated digestion in vitro was investigated. The results showed that cross‐linked hydrogel with Ca 2+ concentration >7.5 mM had a large amount retained on surface, and digestive enzymes caused rapid degradation structure, resulting high initial rate. particle size digestate largest small intestinal stage, gradual outer wall proteins nanoparticles, showing decreasing trend colonic stage. mainly released...

Copper and oxytetracycline (OTC) are two ordinary contaminants in farmlands.In the present study, effects of Cu on growth, photosynthetic pigments, antioxidant indices Brassica chinensis were investigated.The results showed that treatments with OTC promoted growth seedlings roots, which diminished by addition 100 mg/kg Cu.Contents pigments decreased along elevation concentration.In comparison, their levels increased presence Cu, suggesting might weaken toxicity photosynthesis.Moreover,...

Cell immobilization is an alternative to microencapsulation for the maintenance of cells in a liquid medium. However, artificial carriers are expensive and pose high safety risk. This study aimed evaluate potential okara, food-grade byproduct from soymilk production, as natural immobilizer L. plantarum 70810 cells. The also effects okara-immobilized on fermentation, glucosidic isoflavone bioconversion, cell resistance gastrointestinal (GI) stress. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that...

Burdock pectin (BP) was prepared in this work by four approaches including hot-acid (BP-C), alkali (BP-K), enzymatic (BP-E), and buffer extraction (BP-B). Hot acid caused dramatic sidechain hydrolysis yielding a HG (homogalacturonan) rich pectin. The large molecular weight, hydrophilic nature, strong electrostatic repulsion restricted the interfacial adsorption of BP-C to form contact membrane, its emulsifying capacity much weaker compared with other samples. By contrast, enzymatic-assisted...

Adding plant-based ingredients and artificially inoculating microorganisms can be used to enrich the taste of meat products. Here, a functional duck fermented sausage was prepared by adding burdock powder screening suitable fermentation bacteria. Lactobacillus casei, L. helveticus, plantarum were selected as candidate strains later composite sausages. The PHB (duck helveticus with addition powder) found enhance antioxidant capacity significantly, higher ABTS, DPPH FRAP values (1.16, 0.31,...
