Natural astaxanthin is a bioactive with high antioxidant power, widely suitable for many applications. This study explores the potential of leftover food as sustainable and low-cost substrate producing via direct fermentation using Phaffia rhodozyma. The pretreated characterized raw materials were fermented in lab-scale bioreactor under optimized process conditions. entire (168 h) was monitored terms reducing sugar consumption, yield, productivity astaxanthin. implemented experimental plan...
Cigarette smoke exposure, increasing Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), promotes inflammatory responses in airway epithelial cells. Chronic inflammation, microRNA (miRNA), oxidative stress are associated with cancer development.The present study was aimed to explore whether cigarette altering miR-21 expression, promoted tumorigenesis processes cells.Airway normal cells (16HBE A549) were exposed extracts (CSE) or with/without agomiR-21, then it assessed: a)...
Table salts with their specialty flake size, textures, flavors, and colors can be considered a gastronomy niche food already increasing in demand worldwide. Being unrefined, they contain trace elements potentially both healthy toxic. In this study, 12 mineral (Al, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Zn) 10 different commercially available southern Italy namely, Atlantic grey, Baule volante, Guerande, Hawaiian pink, black, Himalayan Maldon, Mozia, Persian blue, smoked were analyzed by...
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a foodborne pathogen diffusely distributed in the marine environment and often isolated from raw seafood belonging to different species, mostly shellfish. Ingestion of under- or uncooked contaminated by V. can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms humans. Due its ability withstand low temperatures, spp. could survive frozen seafoods for long periods entering viable but nonculturable state (VBNC) may constitute an unrecognized source food contamination infection....
Glycative stress influences tumor progression. The aim of the present study was to evaluate advanced glycation end products/soluble receptor products (AGE/sRAGE) axis in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Blood samples were taken from 19 affected by MM and 16 sex-matched age-matched healthy subjects. AGE sRAGE dosed matched controls. AGEs measured spectrofluorimetric methods. for determination analyzed ELISA. levels significantly reduced respect Instead, elevated compared Moreover, we...

The global concern about the use of disposable plastics has fed research on sustainable packaging for food products. Among virtuous materials, chitosan emerges as a valid alternative to conventional polyethylene films because its abundance in nature. In this work, novel film wrapping was developed by exploiting shellfish waste according vision circular economy. Compared previous studies, here, ingredients, such polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), fibroin, and essential oils, were used synergistic...
BackgroundStudies on the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) to improve clinical outcomes after joint arthroplasty have reported contrasting results between intravenous (IV) TXA alone and combined IV intraarticular (IA) administration. We compared effectiveness 2 methods in providing higher postoperative hemoglobin (Hb) levels patients undergoing primary total knee (TKA).MethodsA 100 TKA were randomly assigned receive either (group 1) or topical IA 2). Hb hematocrit measured before surgery. The...
