Cell-based therapies using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising tool in bone tissue engineering. Bone regeneration with MSCs involves series of molecular processes leading to the activation osteoinductive cascade supported by bioactive factors, including fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). In this study, we examined biological characteristics osteogenic differentiation potential sheep marrow (BM-MSCs) treated 20 ng/mL FGF-2 100 BMP-2 vitro. The...
Quince (
The quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.), due to its valuable bioactive properties and high health-promoting potential, is becoming more popular for the prevention of many free radical diseases. Due hardness flesh bitterness astringency, quinces are rarely eaten in form fresh fruit, much often various preserves, or dried additives, e.g., tea. Heat treatment (including drying) affects not only content compounds, but also antioxidant activity organoleptic characteristics. Therefore, this study...
Yerba Mate drink made from dried and crushed leaves twigs of Paraguayan holly (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil.), which is a valuable source bioactive substances, in particular antioxidants. The available literature lacks data on changes the content profile compounds such as tannins, caffeine, phenolic acid flavonoids carotenoids, well total polyphenol antioxidant activity infusions depending different brewing conditions, how conditions affect physicochemical properties these infusions....
Dietary supplementation with raw garlic has a preventive and healing effect in cardiovascular diseases, but it could also damage the intestinal mucosa, resulting impairment of nutrient absorption. Garlic processing, including heat treatment, changes content biological activity garlic, so is crucial to find food-processing methods that will preserve health-promoting properties while minimizing its negative impact on digestive system. Therefore, this study, (Allium sativum L.) growth...
Matcha is a powdered green tea obtained from the Camellia sinensis L. plant intended for both "hot" and "cold" consumption. It rich source of bioactive ingredients, thanks to which it has strong antioxidant properties. In this research, an organoleptic evaluation was carried out, physical characteristics (i.e., instrumental color measurement (L*a*b*), water activity, solubility index (WSI), holding capacity (WHC) 10 teas, in 2.5% solutions, pH, °Brix osmolality were tested. Also, content...
Recently, more consumers have reached for plant-based milk substitutes, mainly health, dietary, and flavour reasons. This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical bioactive properties sensory profile of 10 selected rice drinks available on EU market. Assessment characteristics included measurement soluble solids, pH, osmolality, foaming colour parameters. Analysis compounds involved determination polyphenolic antioxidant activity. Based manufacturer’s data, composition nutritional value...
