Lignocellulosic nanofibers (LCNFs), implying lignin-containing cellulose fibers, maintain the properties of both lignin and cellulose, which are hydrophobic hydrophilic, respectively. The presence in LCNFs is expected to be an economical attractive option that can improve thermal mechanical polymers. Thus, this study was conducted produce lignin-rich from sugar-rich waste obtained rice husks after acidic pretreatment. were produced solid fractions pretreatment enzymatic hydrolysis, then...
Salicornia herbacea (glasswort) is a traditional Asian medicinal plant which exhibits multiple nutraceutical and pharmaceutical properties. Quercetin-3-glucoside isorhamnetin-3-glucoside are the major flavonoid glycosides found in S. herbacea. Multiple researchers have shown that can be structurally transformed into minor aglycone molecules, play significant role exerting physiological responses vivo. However, molecule levels very low. In this study, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis...
The prevention and treatment of chronic inflammation using food-derived compounds are desirable from the perspectives marketing safety. Monascus pigments, widely used as food additives, can be a treatment. Orange pigments were produced by submerged fermentation in 5 L bioreactor, multiple orange pigment derivatives with anti-inflammatory activities synthesized aminophilic reaction. A total 41 types incorporating amines amino acids into pigments. One derivative candidate that inhibited nitric...
Recent research highlights the bioactive potential of Gardenia jasminoides seed (GJS) extract, which is rich in flavonoids and carotenoids, for promoting skin health. This study investigates GJS’s dual inhibitory effects on tyrosinase elastase, suggesting its as a functional ingredient cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals. Using LC-MS/MS silico screening (AutoDock Vina Molegro Virtual Docker), key compounds were identified based their binding affinity, enabling rapid cost-effective bioactivity...
The size-tunable polymerized DNA nanoparticles (PDNs) for cancer-targeted drug delivery were synthesized <italic>via</italic> sequential processes of rolling circle amplification, condensation, and layer-by-layer assembly.
Orally administered antisense therapy has been introduced as an effective approach for treating cancer in the gastrointestinal tract. However, its practical application limited by instability of oligonucleotides and their inefficient delivery. To overcome these problems, we synthesized size-dependent, oligonucleotide nanoparticle-patterned chitosan/phytic acid (ODN/CS/PA) capsules with protective shields via a three-step process self-assembly, nanoparticle encapsulation, shell formation. The...
The prevention and treatment of obesity using naturally derived compounds is desirable in terms marketing safety the nutraceutical functional food markets. One noticeable effects Monascus pigment derivatives inhibition/deactivation lipid metabolism. Our earlier studies reported that threonine (Thr), tryptophan (Trp), 2-(p-tolyl)-ethylamine (TEA) showed cholesterol-lowering, lipase-inhibitory, adipogenic differentiation-inhibitory activities, respectively. In this work, we investigated vivo...
A randomized, double-blind, controlled human study was conducted to examine the effect of consuming exopolysaccharide (EPS) in milk fermented by Weissella confusa VP30 (VP30) on functional constipation. total 64 constipated adults, diagnosed Rome III criteria for constipation, were randomized receive either EPS-enriched (VP30-EPS, n = 32) or an original as a control (CFM, 4 weeks. Questionnaires, which addressed defecation symptoms, dietary frequency and diary, required be completed every...
Edible insects, such as the two-spotted cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus, GB), have high nutritional value but are not widely consumed because of their appearance and smell. Consequently, development foods containing these insects in less recognizable forms, e.g., flour-like powders, has drawn considerable attention. Herein, we investigated quality characteristics muffins prepared from wheat flower supplemented with fresh ginseng (5%) GB (0, 10, 20, 40%) powders. loading was negatively...
AbstractThe cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), inhibition of which assists in maintaining a high level high-density lipoprotein cholesterol the blood, is target for anti-atherosclerosis treatments. Orange monascus pigment was produced by Monascus species 5 L jar fermenter and various derivative compounds were synthesised incorporating 19 different l-amino acids into orange pigment. Among them, l-Thr l-Tyr derivatives exhibited inhibitory activities against CETP reaction. The...
The hydrophobicity and anti-obesity characteristics of the threonine (Thr) derivative Monascus pigment were determined compared with 2-(p-tolyl)-ethylamine (TEA) tryptophan (Trp) derivatives same. Treatment by all three decreased body weight gain, epididymal fat weight, abdominal in mice. lowest gain observed Monascus-Thr treatment, which is more hydrophilic than other treatments tested. Further vivo tests Thr at different concentrations demonstrated that serum lipid level are reduced a...
Purpose: To characterize the clinical and biological properties of biodegradable collagen matrices (BCMs) for possible glaucoma drainage device implantation. Methods: A total 68 refractory eyes, followed up postoperatively at least 6 months, were consecutively enrolled after retrospective chart review. The BCM-augmented Ahmed valve implantations (BAAVI) using our Ologen-6 Ologen-7 valves performed compared with a conventional method. Complete surgical success was defined as an IOP ≤21 mm Hg...
