Microbiological, nutritional and bioactive properties of edible powders obtained from Acheta domesticus (house cricket) Tenebrio molitor (mealworm) were investigated. Except for the enterobacteria, viable bacteria at a higher concentration in mealworm flour. The diversity evaluation carried out using MiSeq Illumina that mainly identified Citrobacter Enterobacteriaceae powder members Porphyromonadaceae family house cricket powder. Enterococci characterized their safety characteristics terms...
Bioactive molecules have received increasing attention due to their nutraceutical attributes and anticancer, antioxidant, antiproliferative apoptosis-inducing properties. This study aimed investigate the biological properties of carotenoids extracted from Archaea.Halophilic Archaea strains were isolated brine a local crystallizer pond (TS7) solar saltern at Sfax, Tunisia. The most carotenoid-producing strain (M8) was investigated on heptoma cell line (HepG2), its viability assessed by...
In countries with elevated prevalence of zoonotic anisakiasis and high awareness this parasitosis, a considerable number cases that associate Anisakis sp. (Nematoda, Anisakidae) different bowel carcinomas have been described. Although neoplasia embedded larvae were observed sharing the common site affected by chronic inflammation, no association between nematode malignancy directly proved. Similarly, data are available about effect secretory excretory products infecting at host's cellular...
Abstract A novel cancer stem‐like cell line (3AB‐OS), expressing a number of pluripotent stem markers, was irreversibly selected from human osteosarcoma MG‐63 cells by long‐term treatment (100 days) with 3‐aminobenzamide (3AB). 3AB‐OS are heterogeneous and stable population composed three types fibroblastoid cells, spindle‐shaped, polygonal‐shaped, rounded‐shaped. With respect to extremely smaller, possess much greater capacity form spheres, stronger self‐renewal ability higher levels cycle...
Astaxanthin is a major marine carotenoid with powerful antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. The in vitro protective effect of astaxanthin adult retinal cells the type-2 diabetic model Psammomys obesus hyperglycemic conditions was investigated. Primary were cultured normal (5 mM) or high concentrations glucose (25 40 for 5 days treated 1–20 µM last 48 h culturing. Mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity cell viability assessed using MTT test trypan blue exclusion dye. Retinal...
Non-edible parts of crustaceans could be a rich source valuable bioactive compounds such as the carotenoid astaxanthin and peptides, which have well-recognized beneficial effects. These are widely used in nutraceuticals pharmaceuticals, their market is rapidly growing, suggesting need to find alternative sources. The aim this work was set up pilot-scale protocol for reutilization by-products processed shrimp, order address utilization biomass nutraceutical pharmaceuticals application,...
Rosmarinus officinalis L. is a dietary source that produces polyphenols as secondary metabolites. These natural compounds with potent antioxidant abilities are increasingly recommended supplement to inhibit oxidative stress. In the current work, we evaluated impact of extraction method on chemical composition R. extract, especially content carnosic (CA) and rosmarinic (RA) acids using UPLC-MS-DAD well their potency. Four extracts Tunisian rosemary were obtained from non-conventional...
Consumption of tomato and products is positively related to the reduction in cardiovascular disease several types cancer, thanks presence natural compounds, such as antioxidants. Peels seeds fractions tomato, collected after industrial processing Tunisian industries, were analysed for nutritional antioxidants composition perspective its utilisation. Proximate composition, fatty acids profile, carotenoids, lycopene beta-carotene, polyphenols contents, demonstrated good potential these...
This study aimed at the characterization of antioxidant power polyphenol extracts (PE) obtained from algae Cystoseira foeniculacea (CYS) (Phaeophyta) and halophyte Halocnemum strobilaceum (HAL), growing in solar saltworks western Sicily (Italy), evaluation their anti-microfouling properties, order to correlate these activities defense strategies extreme environmental conditions. The properties were assessed PE based on total activity test reducing test; two evaluated by measuring growth...
The valorization of side streams from fishery and aquaculture value-chains is a valuable solution to address one the challenges circular economy: turning wastes into profit. Side produced after filleting sea cage fattened bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) were analyzed for proximate composition fatty acid profile evaluate possibility producing oil (TO) as source ω-3 polyunsaturated acids (PUFA) testing its bioactivity in vitro. Ethyl esters total (TFA), obtained TO, pre-enriched by urea...
The grape pomace (GP) is an important by-product of winemaking, accounting for about 13-25% the grapes processed. aim this work was to investigate nutritional and antioxidant composition GP obtained from Nero d'Avola (NA) grape, one most indigenous varieties in Italy, order verify application nutraceutics. Seeds skin were studied their antioxidants composition, fatty acid polyphenols profile, bioactives properties vitro, by gravimetric, spectrophotometric chromatographic techniques. results...
Armoracia rusticana (AR) was tested for antimicrobial and antioxidants power. The compound demonstrated to inhibit fish pathogens such as Vibrio anguillarum, V. harvey, alginolyticus, Aeromonas hydrophila, A. salmonicida, Photobacterium damselae subspecie piscicida, Tenacibaculum marinum Pseudomonas anguilliseptica,. total phenolic content the reducing power resulted higher in water extract of AR, respect hydroalcoolic. In vitro test that AR significantly protect cells against death, induced...
