A randomized controlled clinical trial in 196 obese subjects was performed to examine the effectiveness of body acupuncture on weight loss, lipid profile and immunogenic inflammatory markers. Subjects received authentic (cases) or sham (controls) for 6 weeks combination with a low-calorie diet. In following weeks, they diet alone. were assessed at beginning, 12 later. Heat shock protein (Hsps)-27, 60, 65, 70 antibody titers high sensitivity C-reactive (hs-CRP) levels also assessed....
Objectives: A randomized controlled clinical trial was performed to examine the effectiveness of auricular acupuncture on body weight loss and its impact lipid profile, immunologic inflammatory markers in obese subjects. Methods: Participants (n=204) were therapeutic control groups. Subjects received authentic (cases) or sham (controls) for 6 weeks (first period) combination with a low-calorie diet. In next (second period), diet used own. assessed at beginning 12 later. addition...
Two tomato pomace (TP) were studied as feedstocks to obtain extracts that are rich in polyphenols. TPs prompt degradation impairs biomass safety, thus naturally present microflora tested perform conservation, and own lactic bacteria became predominant after 60 days of treatment. The fermented (TPF) chemically characterized for antioxidant anti-inflammatory activities. Flavonoids phenolic acids classed aglycone-polyphenols (A-PP), the most bioactive polyphenol fraction. Fermentation led a...
Food and agro-industrial processing produce a great amount of side-stream waste materials that are excellent sources functional bioactive molecules such as phenolic compounds recover them can be beneficial not only for food sustainability but also to human many industrial applications flavor therapeutic antimicrobial anti-inflammatory. The treatments extraction techniques have major effects on the recovery compounds. Along with conventional methods, numerous innovative been evolved optimized...
A colored and fiber-rich fraction from the debranning of purple wheat was incorporated at 25% into semolina- flour-based pasta produced on a pilot-plant scale, with aim increasing anthocyanin total phenolic content respect to obtained whole pigmented grains. The impaired formation disulfide-stabilized protein networks in semolina-based systems. Recovery phenolics by making process, cooking decreased both enriched samples. Cooking-related losses anthocyanins were similar, but cooked around...
The increased demand for textile products and the use of synthetic dyes have contributed to making dye wastewater one main causes severe pollution problems. natural is therefore attracting big interest among dyeing industries. Besides this, pigments need be low cost, with implications extraction methods used. Recovering from waste materials proposing a biorefinery approach can solution, reducing total costs increasing revenue, within green economy. This work reports recover anthocyanins by...
Tomato plants produce, among other defensive molecules, glycoalkaloides (i.e. all-tomatine). All-tomatine, found in highest concentrations green fruits, leaves and stems, has demonstrated a wide variety of biological activities useful fields such as agronomy biopesticides. Despite the interest its potential use, extraction methods for all-tomatine are few mostly developed with an analytical scope. In analogy active principles (pyrethroids, nicotinoids), can represent alternative to use...
Gluten replacement in gluten-free (GF) products presents major challenges for the food industry terms of sensorial, technological and nutritional characteristics. The absence gluten reportedly affects starch digestibility, thus increasing postprandial glycaemic response. However, role ingredients processing conditions has been addressed only seldom. We investigated vitro digestibility 9 commercial GF (5 Italian pasta 4 Oriental noodles) differing formulation conditions. Content rapidly...
The consumption of whole-grain food-including pasta-has been increasing steadily. In the case pasta, given many different producers, it seems important to have some objective parameters define its overall quality. this study, commercial pasta samples representative Italian market characterized from both molecular and electronic-senses (electronic nose electronic tongue) standpoint in order provide a survey properties samples. Only 1 product showed very low levels heat damage markers...
Abstract Objective To undertake a randomized controlled trial in 196 obese subjects to examine the effect of electro-acupuncture on serum pro-oxidant antioxidant balance (PAB) values. Methods Subjects received authentic acupuncture (cases) or sham (controls) for 6 weeks combination with low-calorie diet. In following weeks, they diet alone. Serum PAB was measured at baseline, and 12 later. Results We found that values decreased significantly group receiving compared treatment (p<0.001)...
Tomato pomace (TP) was of interest as feedstock to extract the lycopene (lyc). This work aimed design a process based on use enzymes increase lyc extraction and at same time obtain additional products following cascade approach. The pre-treatment with mix pectinase cellulase doubled recovery concerning standard extraction. After separation from peel, oil seeds similar edible oils but richer in bioactives. Indeed, water solution (WP) which hydrolyzed cell wall peel significantly enriched...
