Acheta domesticus (house cricket) has been recently introduced into the official European list of novel foods, representing an alternative and sustainable food source. Up to now, chemical characterization this edible insect focused only on specific classes compounds. Here, three production batches A. powder were investigated by means a multimethodological approach based NMR, FT-ICR MS, GC-MS methodologies. The applied analytical protocol, proposed for first time in study insect, allowed us...
The aim of the work is to assess antimicrobial activities Cell Free Supernatants (CFS) and Membrane Vesicles (MVs), produced by Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938, versus Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria investigate their metabolic profiles. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration was determined through broth microdilution method cell proliferation assay Bactericidal Colony Forming Units counts. characteristics compounds were evaluated pH adjustments, proteinase treatment, size fractionation CFS....
Most clinical isolates of both Staphylococcus aureus and epidermidis show the capacity to adhere abiotic surfaces develop biofilms resulting in a contribution chronic human skin infections. Antibiotic resistance poor biofilm penetration are main causes ineffective therapeutic treatment killing bacteria within biofilms. A possible strategy could be represented by drug delivery systems, such as nanoemulsions (composed bioactive oil, surfactant water phase), which useful for enhancing...
The metabolite profile of fresh Goji berries from two cultivars, namely Big Lifeberry (BL) and Sweet (SL), grown in the Lazio region (Central Italy) harvested at different periods, August October, corresponding beginning end maturation, was characterized by means nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron (ESI FT-ICR MS) methodologies. Several classes compounds such as sugars, amino acids, organic fatty polyphenols, terpenes were identified...
In the present study, we focus on dinuclear cobalt-based CO-RMs with aim of elucidating their CO release mechanism, as well to understand how structural changes targeted modify electronic properties these compounds can modulate delivery. To this end, specifically synthesized a set phenyl-propargyl-based bearing -NO
'Sulmona red garlic' is an Italian variety characterized by a tunica surrounding white bulb. Red tunicae and non-commercial small bulbs are food wastes that must be studied for their added value. Hydroalcoholic extracts, obtained separated inner outer peeled of commercial bulbs, harvested at two different years, were first with respect to color, polyphenolic content, antiradical activity. Then, untargeted metabolic profile means electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron...
One of the current challenges scientific research is design advanced wound care to obtain a rapid and complete healing chronic wounds, thus avoiding serious complications. With this purpose, great deal attention has been paid Carvacrol (CRV), monoterpene one main components essential oils Oregano, Thyme Satureja Montana. Despite its promising properties in treatment, CRV exhibits high lipophilicity, oxidation volatilization, inadequate retention time at site action, which limit therapeutic...
Background Myokines are a class of small proteins mainly produced and released from muscle cells involved in contractions, exercise‐associated metabolic changes myogenesis. Among them, myostatin (MYO) is one the key negative regulators skeletal cell growth differentiation. As consequence, abuse inhibitors as performance‐enhancing agents sport, and/or use pharmaceutical or genetic methods blocking function presently prohibited by World Anti‐doping Agency (WADA). No direct method currently...
