Total phenol, flavonoid and saponin content of soy bean mung were systemically compared in order to evaluate their contribution overall antioxidant activity. Mung extract possessed significantly higher total phenol (2.03 GAE g−1 vs. 1.13 g−1) contents (1.49 0.41 CAE than extract, while the beans was 4.5 times greater that beans. In several assays including DPPH ABTS radical scavenging, FRAP, SOD-like activity, a β-carotene bleaching assay, consistently showed activity extract. The specific...

The interaction between dairy proteins [micellar casein (MC) vs. whey protein isolate (WPI)] and phospholipids [PL; soy phosphatidylcholine (PC) milk sphingomyelin (SM)] in an oil-in-water emulsion system was investigated. Sole PC-stabilized (1%, wt/vol) showed a significantly larger mean particle diameter (6.5 μm) than SM-stabilized emulsions (3.8 μm). diameters of prepared by the combination PL did not differ from with single emulsifier (MC, WPI, SM). Emulsion instability differed among...

Chrysin-loaded phytosomes (CP) were prepared using either soya phosphatidylcholine (SPC) or egg phospholipid (EPL) by the solvent evaporation method. Different matrices resulted in significant differences size, mechanical property and solubility of CP. The most stable CP was obtained with EPL at a molar ratio 1:3 (chrysin: EPL, CEP-1:3). CEP-1:3 displayed an average size 117 nm uniform distribution (polydispersity index: 0.30) zeta potential -31 mV. A significantly greater elastic modulus...

Ecklonia cava, an edible marine brown alga (Laminariaceae), is a rich source of phlorotannins. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect cava ethanol extract (ECE, dieckol 10.6%, w/w) on Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells and ligature-induced periodontitis rats. The levels nitric oxide (NO) prostaglandin E2 were decreased by more than half treatment with 100 μg/mL ECE. Downregulated tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin...

Postbiotics are a promising functional ingredient that can overcome the limitations of viability and storage stability challenge production probiotics. To evaluate effects postbiotics on oral health, eight spent culture supernatants (SCSs) probiotics were prepared, SCSs Streptococcus mutans-induced cariogenic biofilm formation receptor activator nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis evaluated in RAW 264.7 macrophages. SCS Lactobacillus salivarius MG4265 reduced S. by...

Summary The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects prebiotic substrates on growth Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 43121 and investigate utilisation these as coating materials for microencapsulation. cell L. significantly increased in presence fructooligosaccharide, lactulose raffinose. microencapsulation cells carried out by dry surface reforming process (hybridisation) using selected enteric material, Sureteric TM sans . Scanning transmission electron microscopy revealed that...

ABSTRACT: Transglutaminase (TGase)‐treated skim milk powder (TG‐SMP) was prepared by freeze‐drying after TGase treatment (10 U/g protein, 40°C for 3 h), followed inactivation at 85°C 5 min. modification resulted in significant increases hardness and water holding capacity (WHC) of heat‐induced gels (10% w/v). A marked increase storage modulus (G′) TG‐SMP upon heating suggests that has a greater gelling ability than control‐SMP (C‐SMP) with predenatured TGase. Acid from had significantly...

Abstract: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were generated by mixing of gelatin solution and gold precursor (HAuCl 4, 1 mM) under isothermal condition (80 °C). The effects concentration (1% to 6%) pH (3, 5, 9) on the color signal gelatin‐templated AuNPs examined. λ max shifted from 535 552 nm at 1% gelatin, intensity was a maximum 2% gelatin. speed development accelerated 3, prepared 3 bigger (45 162 nm) more irregular in shape than those 5 or 9. When performance nanoreactor as time–temperature...

Catechin polymers were produced by laccase (12 U/mL) in a mixture of sodium acetate buffer (1% (+)-catechin, 100 mM, pH 5) and methanol (buffer:methanol = 95:5, v/v). The freeze-dried catechin recovered from the precipitate after dialysis followed centrifugation. extracted with 20% ethanol had potent inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase an IC50 value 4 μg/mL, they present as dimers, trimers, tetramers. antihyperglycemic effect was confirmed oral maltose tolerance test. also...

The effect of tricin, a methylated flavone widely distributed in cereals, on glucose uptake and the underlying molecular mechanism was investigated using C2C12 myotubes. Tricin significantly increased myotubes, regardless absence (1.4-fold at 20 μM) or presence (1.6-fold insulin. GLUT4 expression plasma membrane 1.6-fold after tricin treatment (20 activated insulin-dependent cell signaling pathway, including activation insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K),...

The antiobesity potential of tricin, a methylated cereal flavonoid, was examined using high-fat-diet-induced obese mice model. body weight (P < 0.01) and fat mass 0.05) were significantly decreased in the high-dose tricin supplementation group (TH: 200 mg/kg diet) comparison to high diet control (CON) after 12-week feeding trial. serum (60.9 ± 2.09 mg/dL) hepatic triglyceride levels (45.3 4.42 nmol/mg protein) TH CON (78.3 5.09 mg/dL, 76.3 8.10 protein), respectively. This effect attributed...
