5-HMF is widely presented in foods and produced through the degradation of hexoses Maillard reaction during heat treatment containing reducing sugars amino acids an acid environment. However, controversial conclusions on biological effects have been drawn previous studies. Therefore, main aim this study was to investigate antioxidant antiproliferative activities 5-HMF. The 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazolin-6-sulfonic (ABTS) assay, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) hemolysis assay induced...

Abstract Background Pure 1, 3-diacylglycerols (1, 3-DAG) have been considered to be significant surfactants in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, as well the effect on obesity prevention. Methods In this study, a vacuum-driven air bubbling operation mode was developed evaluated for enzymatic synthesis of 3-DAG saturated fatty acids, by direct esterification glycerol with acids solvent-free system. The employed comparable N 2 protocol, terms lauric acid conversion 3-dilaurin...

A novel polysaccharide (CMP-2B) was purified from Centipeda minima by anion-exchange and gel-permeation chromatography. Structural characterization revealed that CMP-2B a homogeneous heteropolysaccharide with an average molecular weight of 113.193 KDa. made up mannose, galacturonic acid, galactose arabinose molar ratio 0.27:0.12:0.42:0.17. The backbone chain consisted 3,6)-α-D-Manp-(1 4,6)-β-D-Galp-(1, the branches were comprised 4)-α-D-GalpA-(1, 6)-β-D-Galp-(1, T-α-L-Araf-(1 3)-α-L-Araf...

A new polysaccharide (AABP-2B) was obtained from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge after purification by gradient alcohol precipitation and DEAE-52 cellulose column chromatography. AABP-2B confirmed to be a homogeneous with molecular weight of 5800 Da composed mannose glucose at molar ratio 7.2 : 2.8. Structural analysis demonstrated that the backbone mainly 4)-β-D-Manp-(1, 4,6)-β-D-Glcp-(1 3,6)-β-D-Manp-(1. The hypoglycaemic effect evaluated its inhibition α-glucosidase activities insulin...

Gleditsia japonica var. delavayi is widely distributed in Yunnan and Guizhou, China, the perisperm of its seeds frequently used as a traditional banquet sweet food with transparent color, smooth-tasting, low-fat, high-carbohydrate. Herein, cellulase-assisted extraction method was applied using response surface methodology to optimize polysaccharides from G. delavayi. The highest yield (82.23 ± 0.50%) obtained under 5% cellulase, 176 mL/g liquid-to-material ratio, enzymolysis parameters 55 °C...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects simulated saliva-gastrointestinal digestion AABP-2B on its structural features, inhibitory α-glucosidase activity, and human gut microbiota. salivary-gastrointestinal results show that there no significant change in molecular weight AABP-2B, free monosaccharides are released. This indicates that, under a digestive condition, not degraded can be further utilized by still possessed good activity after digestion, which may attributed...

The effects of lipid type and content on gel digestion properties myofibrillar proteins (MPs) were studied. MPs sol was combined with three types (peanut oil, sunflower lard) different contents (0.5–2%) to obtain composite gels. As for whiteness, no differ observed in gels without or addition. water holding capacity hardness addition increased. Moreover, fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) demonstrated 1% emulsion exhibited the highest β-sheet content. confocal laser scanning...

Using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) combined with hyperaccumulator is an ecologically viable way to remediate cadmium (Cd) pollution in agricultural soil. Despite recent advances elucidating PGPR-enhanced phytoremediation, the response of plant-associated microbiota PGPR remains unclear. Here, we found that effective colonization reshaped rhizosphere nutrient microenvironment, especially driving nitrogen cycle, primarily mediated by soil nitrate reductase (S-NR). Elevated S-NR...

β-carotene is a lipophilic micronutrient that considered beneficial to human health. However, there are some limitations in utilizing functional foods or dietary supplements currently because of its poor water dispersibility and chemical stability. A new type bilayer emulsion delivery system was prepared by layer-by-layer electrostatic deposition technique, for which were chosen bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the inner emulsifier Arabic gum (GA) outer emulsifier. The physicochemical...
