There is no doubt that in recent years there has been a growing interest the use of by-products from agri-food industry with aim achieving zero waste. In this context, pectin valuable ingredient obtained vegetable and fruit whose extraction may be problem rather than solution. It was not until 2015 when studies began to published on need avoid residues derived extraction. We show an exhaustive analysis existing bibliography possible ways for comprehensive these biorefinery approach....
Anti-inflammatory properties of artichoke pectin and modified fractions (arabinose- galactose-free) used at two doses (40 80 mg kg-1) in mice with colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium have been investigated. Expression pro-inflammatory markers TNF-α ICAM-I decreased groups treated original arabinose-free while IL-1β IL-6 liberation was reduced only pectin. A decrease iNOS TLR-4 expression observed for most treatments. Intestinal barrier gene also determined. MUC-1 Occludin increased...
Donor milk is the best alternative for feeding of preterm newborns when mother's own unavailable. For safety reasons, it usually pasteurized by Holder method (62.5ºC 30 min). pasteurization results in a microbiological safe product but impairs activity many biologically active compounds such as immunoglobulins, enzymes, cytokines, growth factors, hormones or oxidative stress markers. High-temperature short-time (HTST) has been proposed an better preservation some biological components human...
Three non-conventional extraction techniques (enzyme-assisted with cellulase, citric acid ultrasound-assisted and enzyme-ultrasound-assisted treatment) conventional were applied to obtain pectin from raspberry, blueberry, strawberry redcurrant, compared in terms of yields physicochemical properties the extracted pectins. Except for led highest yield (~8%) and, same berries, lowest recovery was found cellulase (~4%). Regarding structural characteristics pectins, enzymatically pectins...
This report describes the work developed during execution of Review Impact MICrobiome In Assesment (RIMICIA) project. project has performed a comprehensive and critical assessment evidence-based research about: i) impact dietary compounds in human some domestic animals (i.e., poultry, ruminants pigs) gut microbiome; ii) most representative vitro vivo models microbiota currently used microbiome studies; iii) methodology to measure changes microbiota. also gathered appraised information about...
There is increasing interest in identifying novel dietary nondigestible carbohydrates capable of modulating the composition and/or metabolic activities gut microbiota. This work assessed differential modulatory influence galacto-oligosaccharides derived from lactulose (GOS-Lu) comparison with commercial lactose (GOS-La) microbiota growing rats (5 weeks old). Rats were fed either a control diet or diets containing 1% (w/w) GOS-Lu GOS-La, and cecal colonic contents collected after 14 days...
ABSTRACT Objectives: The objective of this work was to elucidate the influence extremely premature birth (gestational age 24–27 weeks) on microbiological, biochemical, and immunological composition colostrum mature milk. Methods: A total 17 34 milk samples were provided by 22 mothers preterms who participated in study. Bacterial diversity assessed culture‐based methods, whereas concentration lactose, glucose, myo ‐inositol determined a gas chromatography procedure. Finally, concentrations...
