Hericium erinaceus polysaccharides (HEPs) have attracted widespread attention in regulating gut microbiota (GM). To investigate digestibility and fermentation of HEPs their effects on GM composition, three polysaccharide fractions, namely, HEP-30, HEP-50, HEP-70, were fractionally precipitated with 30%, 50%, 70% ethanol concentrations (v/v) from hot water-soluble extracts erinaceus, respectively. Three kinds prepared structurally characterized simulated gastrointestinal digestion, human...
Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a bioactive substance with anti-inflammatory activities. Clusters of CD36 have been suggested to be widely involved in inflammatory damage. However, the mechanism CGA protecting against LPS-induced inflammation involving regulation unclear. Here, we demonstrated that protected cell death and decreased production ROS. Moreover, SOD, CAT, GSH-Px activities were also upregulated CGA-treated cells during LPS stimulation. reduced COX-2 iNOS expression IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α...
Different dietary fibers have distinct structures, leading to significant variations in their laxative effects. To explore how these structural differences impact constipation intervention, a 14-day study was conducted on loperamide-induced constipated mice using five fibers: soluble fiber from steamed sweet potato (SDF-S), oat β-glucan (OB), polydextrose (PD), arabinogalactan (AG), and inulin (IN). The results showed that four fibers, excluding PD, significantly improved gastrointestinal...
Scope Angelica keiskei is associated with several health benefits, but little known about the effect of A. juice (AKJ), which rich in polyphenols, coumarins, and other healthful agents, on high‐fat diet‐induced obesity or its relationship intestinal microbiota composition changes. Methods results C57BL/6 mice are fed either a normal diet (ND group; n = 8), (HFD supplemented AKJ (AKJ 8) for 10 weeks. The show that prevents weight gain, lowered fat accumulation, blood glucose, serum lipid...
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) leaf is a natural source of phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant activity and potential utility as an antioxidant. The aim this study was to evaluate the polyphenol composition activities ethanol extracts their various solvent-partitioned fractions (petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, aqueous fraction) from sweet leaves petioles. Seven caffeoylquinic acid (CQA) derivatives four flavonoids were detected in by HPLC-ESI-MS. total content (TPC) flavonoid (TFC)...
The acid sensitivity and moisture absorption of dry probiotic products during digestion storage are challenges. In this study, different mass ratios (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 5) buckwheat protein (BWP) hydrophobic polyester shellac were firstly combined by a pH-shifting method then applied for the construction Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) microcapsules. Circular dichroism (CD) fluorescence spectroscopy results revealed that complexes stabilized primarily interaction forces conformational...
Ice plant extract (IPE), a rich source of <sc>d</sc>-pinitol, has substantial effect on ameliorating hyperglycemia and modulating gut microbiota composition in diabetic GK (Goto-Kakizaki) rats.
Red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) continues to receive increasing attention on its health-promoting properties because of high glucosinolate content. Glucosinolates are an unstable active substance; however, there few studies their changes in different cooking processes. In this study, we investigated the effects processing methods (boiling, steaming, microwave heating, frying, stir-frying) and boiling time glucosinolates red cabbage. Ten glucosinolates, including...
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects sweet potato peels dietary fiber obtained by different extraction methods on intestinal health. Specifically, four fibers were extracted hot water, microwave, ultrasonic and subcritical water methods. And prebiotics explored in an vitro fermentation model, determining gas content, short-chain fatty acid pH, ammonia content gut microbiota composition. results showed that could be utilized GM improve human health increasing abundance...
The influence of steaming treatment on the soluble dietary fiber (SDF) sweet potato was investigated. SDF content increased from 2.21 to 4.04 g/100 g (in dry basis) during 20 min steaming. microcosmic morphology fractured cell wall indicated release components fresh (SDF-F) and steamed (SDF-S) characterized. neutral carbohydrates uronic acid levels in SDF-S were significantly higher than SDF-F (59.31% versus 46.83%, 25.36% 9.60%, respectively) (p < 0.05). molecular weight smaller (5.32 kDa...
Maltodextrin (MD), the hydrolyzed starch product, is a promising alternative ingredient to improve quality of starch-based foods. The effects MD on physicochemical, microstructural, and cooking properties sweet potato (SPS) noodles, as well mechanism SPS-MD interactions, are discussed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that at suitable concentration can ordered structure gels. loss showed lower values 1.47–2.16% 0.5–2.0 wt% MD. For...
To investigate the role of gastrointestinal (GI) polysaccharide fermentation in alleviating constipation, two fractions were isolated from a soluble fiber extract with determined anti-constipation activity: 2.04 kDa neutral fraction (SSP-1) contained 99.29% glucose, and 41.66 acidic (SSP-2) 63.85% uronic acid. After mice given loperamide for 14 d to induce GI transit rate increased significantly SSP-1 group (p < 0.05) but not SSP-2 group. The stool weight was higher than that (383.60 mg...
Starch nanoparticles (SNPs) were produced from sweet potato starches by ultrasonic treatment combined with rapid nanoprecipitation. The starch concentration, time, and the ratio of solution to ethanol optimized through dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique obtain SNPs a Z-average size 64.51 ± 0.15 nm, poly dispersity index (PDI) 0.23 0.01. However, after freeze drying, showed varying degrees aggregation depending on particle before freeze-drying. smaller size, more serious aggregation....
Abstract Anti‐inflammatory compounds, delivered as a payload to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) by carriers, still cannot treat inflammatory bowel diseases without avoiding side effects. Here, we developed payload‐free protein nanoparticles (PNPs) that crossed GIT retain in colon and colitis restoring intestinal barrier integrity modulating gut microbiome metabolome. Specifically, PNPs, orally administered mice with acute colitis, reached within three hours. Consequently, PNPs improve...
