RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Chitosan (CS) and tripolyphosphate (TPP) can be combined in the development of a material with synergistic properties and promising potential for the conservation of food products. In this study, ellagic acid (EA) and anti-inflammatory peptide (FPL)-loaded CS nanoparticles (FPL/EA NPs) were prepared using the ionic gelation method and optimal preparation conditions were obtained through a single factor design. RESULTS: The synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Nanoparticles were spherical, with an average size of 308.33 ± 4.61 nm, a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.254, a zeta potential of +31.7 ± 0.08 mV, and a high encapsulation capacity (22.16 ± 0.79%). An in vitro release study showed that EA/FPL had a sustainable release from FPL/EA NPs. The stability of the FPL/EA NPs was evaluated for 90 days at 0, 25, and 37 °C. Significant anti-inflammatory activity of FPL/EA NPs was verified by nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) reduction. CONCLUSION: These characteristics support the use of CS nanoparticles to encapsulate EA and FPL and improve their bioactivity in food products. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Walnut meal is a by-product produced during the production of walnut oil and is often treated as a waste. However, the nutrients in walnut meal mean it has significant potential for development as a plant-based milk. This study investigated the effect of microfluidization on the stability of walnut protein emulsion (WPE) and walnut protein beverage (WPB) produced from walnut meal, compared with conventional homogenization. The particle size, zeta potential, rheological properties, and stability of WPE all significantly improved after microfluidization. The mean particle size and zeta potential of the microfluidized WPE significantly decreased (p < 0.05). The rheological properties demonstrated that the viscosity of the microfluidized WPE decreased by 80%, and that the shear force increased 4.5 times as the shear rate increased. This gave the resulting product the characteristics of non-Newtonian fluid. LUMisizer stability demonstrated that microfluidization improves stability through protein absorption on the oil-water interface. Microfluidization increased the denaturation temperature (Tm) of WPE from 135.65 to 154.87â. Moreover, microfluidization improved the color, centrifugal precipitation rate, and viscosity in WPB compared to the control at all studied temperatures. The Arrhenius approach was used to establish a shelf-life model, which predicted that microfluidized WPB could be stored for 175 d at 4â. This study provided a new reference for the widespread application of microfluidization in the production of food-based emulsion and beverage products.

The anti-inflammatory effect of the interaction between ellagic acid (EA) and a bioactive tripeptide (FPL) from walnut meal was investigated in this study. We found that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced expression of nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and interleukin-1ß were significantly inhibited by the interaction of EA and FPL in RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Cell viability assays and CompuSyn simulations predicted the highest synergistic effect of the combination at doses of EA-25 µM and FPL-100 µM, with the lowest combination index (CI) values reaching 0.56. Fluorescence spectra revealed the intrinsic fluorescence of phenylalanine in FPL was quenched by interaction with EA. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated FPL had electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with EA through N-H, C = O, C-N bonds and the secondary structure of FPL had effectively changed, with a decrease in α-helix when interacting with EA. Our results demonstrated that the synergistic anti-inflammatory effect of EA and FPL as potential inflammatory inhibitors in food industry.

Rosa roxburghii pomace was treated by steam explosion (SE) at 0.87 MPa for 97 s. After SE treatment, the Insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) content of Rosa roxburghii pomace decreased from 45.13 ± 0.23 to 30.01 ± 0.15%, and the soluble dietary fiber (SDF) content increased from 9.31 ± 0.07 to 15.82 ± 0.31%. The structure of IDF and SDF after SE showed that the original compact structures were destroyed, and the specific surface areas increased. Thermal analysis showed that the thermal stability of the modified SDF was improved. However, SE did not change the crystal structure and functional group composition of IDF and SDF. Physicochemical analysis indicated that IDF had better hydration capacity after SE treatment, and the oil-holding capacities of IDF and SDF were also significantly improved. SE is an effective method to improve the utilization of Rosa roxburghii pomace and a feasible method for modification of dietary fiber.
RESUMEN
Rose pomace, a by-product of the essential oil extraction process, is rich in dietary fiber. Insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) extracted from rose pomace was modified by enzymatic hydrolysis (EH) and ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis (UEH) methods, and their physicochemical, functional, and microstructural properties were studied. The results showed that EH treatment performed better in the yield of soluble dietary fiber and the glucose adsorption capacity than UEH which contributed to better oil-holding, swelling, cation-exchange, and cholesterol adsorption capacities. Moreover, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin were detected based on Fourier transform infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that IDF had a shaly surface with a loose block structure after modification. In conclusion, different modification degrees have respective advantages, and modified IDF from rose pomace could be utilized in the food industry as a new source of functional ingredients, as well as to increase the economic value of rose products.
RESUMEN
The present study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activities and the protective effect of Rhodobacter sphaeroides on H2O2-induced oxidative stress in Caco-2 cells. The results showed that the antioxidant action of R. sphaeroides varied with different cell concentrations and treatments. Also, the intact cells and intracellular cell-free extracts showed better antioxidant activities. Caco-2 cell-based oxidative stress model was developed by optimizing H2O2 concentration and culture time with the half lethal dose and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium. By increasing the activity of endogenous antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, upregulating the antioxidant ability of the anti-superoxide anion and anti-hydroxyl radical, R. sphaeroides, especially the mutant strain R. sphaeroides (CGMCC No. 8513), exhibited significant protective activity against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in Caco-2 cells. Taken together, R. sphaeroides (CGMCC No. 8513) exhibits strong antioxidant activities and is a candidate to be investigated as a potential probiotic in the future.

Anredera cordifolia, a climber and member of the Basellaceae family, has long been a traditional medicine used for the treatment of hyperglycemia in China. Two water-soluble polysaccharides, ACP1-1 and ACP2-1, were isolated from A. cordifolia seeds by hot water extraction. The two fractions, ACP1-1 and ACP2-1 with molecular weights of 46.78 kDa ± 0.03 and 586.8 kDa ± 0.05, respectively, were purified by chromatography. ACP1-1 contained mannose, glucose, galactose in a molar ratio of 1.08:4.65:1.75, whereas ACP2-1 contained arabinose, ribose, galactose, glucose, mannose in a molar ratio of 0.9:0.4:0.5:1.2:0.9. Based on methylation analysis, ultraviolet and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, and periodate oxidation the main backbone chain of ACP1-1 contained (1â3,6)-galacturonopyranosyl residues interspersed with (1â4)-residues and (1â3)-mannopyranosyl residues. The main backbone chain of ACP2-1 contained (1â3)-galacturonopyranosyl residues interspersed with (1â4)-glucopyranosyl residues.

Black-bone silky fowl iron(II)-oligopeptide chelate was synthesized from iron(II) solution and the black-bone silky fowl oligopeptide, which was extracted from the muscle protein of black-bone silky fowl (Gallus gallus domesticus Brisson). Orthogonal array analysis was used to determine the optimal conditions for the iron(II)-oligopeptide chelate preparation. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to identify the structure of iron(II)-oligopeptide chelate. 2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and superoxide radical scavenging assays were performed to compare the antioxidant abilities of the black-bone silky fowl oligopeptide and iron(II)-oligopeptide chelate. The optimal conditions for iron(II)-oligopeptide chelate preparation were 4% of the black-bone silky fowl oligopeptide and a ratio of the black- -bone silky fowl oligopeptide to FeCl2·4H2O of 5:1 at pH=4. Under these conditions, the chelation rate was (84.9±0.2) % (p<0.05), and the chelation yield was (40.3±0.1) % (p<0.05). The structures detected with UV-Vis spectroscopy, electron microscopy and FTIR spectra changed significantly after chelation, suggesting that Fe(II) ions formed coordinate bonds with carboxylate (-RCOOZ) and amino (-NH2) groups in the oligopeptides, confirming that this is a new oligopeptide-iron chelate. The iron(II)-oligopeptide chelate had stronger scavenging activity towards DPPH and superoxide radicals than did the black-bone silky fowl oligopeptide.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Spirulina platensis is rich in ß-carotene, which possesses many important biological activities. This study investigated the ultrasound-assisted extraction and purification of ß-carotene from Spirulina platensis by using response surface methodology (RSM), determined its antioxidant capacity in vitro and explored its hypoglycaemic effect in diabetic mice. RESULTS: The raw ß-carotene extract with a concentration of 1942.14 ± 10.03 µg mL(-1) was obtained at the optimised condition by RSM (0.40 of the solid-liquid ratio, 51% of the extraction power, and 17 min of the extraction time), and the purity of evaporated ß-carotene extract reached 816.32 ± 10.57 mg g(-1) after purified by a NKA-9 resin with a sampling and elution rate of 1 mL min(-1) . The ß-carotene extract scavenged 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and hydroxyl free radicals with the highest ratios of 44 ± 0.26% and 35 ± 0.45% respectively, and exhibited strong inhibiting capacity on anti-lipid peroxidation. The blood glucose level of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice was significantly reduced from 15.81 ± 1.71 mmol L(-1) to 8.10 ± 0.88 mmol L(-1) after 10 d administration of the ß-carotene extract [100 mg kg(-1) body weight (BW)], and the increased food and water intakes in the diabetic mice were also significantly relieved after ß-carotene treatment. CONCLUSION: Our results suggested that extraction of ß-carotene from Spirulina platensis had potential prospects in scaled-up industrialisation and healthcare applications.

In this work, RLWPF (Arg-Leu-Trp-Pro-Phe) and VLRLF (Val-Leu-Arg-Leu-Phe) were investigated for the effects against D-galactose (D-gal) induced cognitive impairment by modulating the gut microbiota composition. The effects on serum metabolite production were further investigated. The two novel peptides derived from walnut protein alkaline protease hydrolysates were predicted by docking to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with the highest binding affinities, -10.3 and -9.9 kcal mol-1, considered as the potential neuroprotective peptides. In behavioral experiments, RLWPF and VLRLF treatment significantly restored spatial learning and memory impairment induced by D-gal. The results showed that RLWPF and VLRLF could alleviate cholinergic dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation to varying degrees caused by D-gal-induced aging. Furthermore, 16S rRNA analysis revealed that RLWPF and VLRLF treatment improved cognitive impairment by regulating the composition of the gut microbiota and the abundance of harmful bacteria, including the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes, Helicobacter, Allobaculum, Alistipes, Mucispirillum, and Odoribacter. In addition to the same regulation, RLWPF and VLRLF had their marker and regulatory flora. Studies based on the gut microbiota would allow a better understanding of the neuroprotective effects of walnut-derived peptides, supporting that walnut-derived peptides could be potential functional ingredients in foods and nutraceuticals or drug candidates in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction.

The oil extraction residue of walnuts is rich in proteins and has been employed in the formulation of various functional food products. In this study, alcalase and neutrase were used to hydrolyze defatted walnut meal protein to obtain anti-inflammatory peptides. After separation by ultrafiltration and by using Sephadex G-25, the fraction with the highest anti-inflammatory activity was identified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and 579 peptides were obtained. Then, four of the most stable binding tripeptides with the sequences Trp-Pro-Leu (WPL, MW: 414.2 Da), Trp-Ser-Leu (WSL, MW: 404.2 Da), Phe-Pro-Leu (FPL, MW: 375.2 Da) and Phe-Pro-Tyr (FPY, MW: 425.2 Da) were successfully identified by virtual screening. The anti-inflammatory activity determination of the synthetic peptide assay indicated that FPL (200 µM) exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity with inhibitory rates of 63.65 ± 2.64%, 68.25 ± 2.19%, 42.52 ± 2.01% and 59.39 ± 2.21% in terms of four inflammatory mediators (NO, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1ß), respectively. It was speculated that the anti-inflammatory activity of walnut peptides might be related to hydrophobic amino acids and aromatic amino acids. By molecular docking, further insight into the theoretical interaction mechanism of binding revealed that hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds turned out to be the main interaction forces between the four peptides and iNOS. These results indicated that FPL screened in this study could be expected to be used as a natural anti-inflammatory active substance in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, are multi-factor induced neurological disorders that require management from multiple pathologies. The peptides from natural proteins with diverse physiological activity can be candidates as multifunctional neuroprotective agents. However, traditional methods for screening neuroprotective peptides are not only time-consuming and laborious but also poorly accurate, which makes it difficult to effectively obtain the needed peptides. In this case, a multi-dimensional deep learning model called MiCNN-LSTM was proposed to screen for multifunctional neuroprotective peptides. Compared to other multi-dimensional algorithms, MiCNN-LSTM reached a higher accuracy value of 0.850. The MiCNN-LSTM was used to acquire candidate peptides from walnut protein hydrolysis. Following molecular docking, behavioral and biochemical index experimental validation eventually found 4 hexapeptides (EYVTLK, VFPTER, EPEVLR and ELEWER) demonstrating excellent multifunctional neuroprotective properties. Therein, EPEVLR performed the best and can be investigated in depth as a multifunctional neuroprotective agent. This strategy will greatly improve the efficiency of screening multifunctional bioactive peptides, and it will be beneficial for the development of food functional peptides.

The shelf life of chestnut rose beverage is largely dependent on packaging method and storage temperature. In this study, we investigated the effects of packaging beverages in bottles made of either polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or PEN (polyethylene naphthalate)/PET and storage temperature (4, 25, 37, and 55 â) on the shelf life of chestnut rose beverage. The physicochemical parameters and enzyme activity of beverages were evaluated, and we found that at 4 °C, the vitamin C, superoxide dismutase, and total polyphenol contents of beverages stored in PEN/PET bottles increased by 9.95 ± 0.49%, 2.86 ± 0.13%, and 3.23 ± 0.09% respectively, compared to beverages in ordinary PET bottles. In addition, other characteristic indicators including total soluble solids, browning index, and color value were also significantly improved. A shelf-life model was established based on the Arrhenius equation, and it will help distributors and consumers to determine the storage time and optimal shelf life of chestnut rose beverage.

This study aimed to explore an effective, simple, and time-saving method for astaxanthin accumulation. Wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a bioreactor, the SpcrtR gene was first ligated with the signal peptide S to construct pYES2/NT-A-S-SpcrtR plasmid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The detection of SDS-PAGE and Western blotting protein proved that SpCRTR was successfully extracellular expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The target product astaxanthin was produced by co-fermentation of Spirulina platensis and recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The test results showed that after 18 h of fermentation, the astaxanthin concentration was highest in the mixed fermentation broth with 4% Spirulina platensis and recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the content of astaxanthin was 0.25 ± 0.02 µg/mL. In addition, the source of astaxanthin was explored. During the fermentation process of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, SpCRTR enzyme catalyzed the Spirulina platensis canthaxanthin, which almost completely converted into astaxanthin, providing a simple method for astaxanthin synthesis. Compared with culture of Haematococcus pluvialis, this culture route not only shortens culture time, but also eliminates the limitation of the conditions in the culture process.

This study aimed to isolate bioactive peptides with elastase inhibitory activity from walnut meal via ultrasonic enzymatic hydrolysis. The optimal hydrolysis conditions of walnut meal protein hydrolysates (WMPHs) were obtained by response surface methodology (RSM), while a molecular weight of<3 kDa fraction was analyzed by LC-MS/MS, and 556 peptides were identified. PyRx virtual screening and Autodock Vina molecular docking revealed that the pentapeptide Phe-Phe-Val-Pro-Phe (FFVPF) could interact with elastase primarily through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and π-sulfur bonds, with a binding energy of -5.22 kcal/mol. The verification results of inhibitory activity showed that FFVPF had better elastase inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 0.469 ± 0.01 mg/mL. Furthermore, FFVPF exhibited specific stability in the gastric environment. These findings suggest that the pentapeptide FFVPF from defatted walnut meal could serve as a potential source of elastase inhibitors in the food, medical, and cosmetics industries.
RESUMEN
The present study evaluated the effect of fermentation with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum B7 and Bacillus subtilis natto on phenolic compound levels and enzyme activity, as well as antioxidant capacity of the rose residue. Results showed that the polyphenol content of rose residue was significantly increased from 16.37 ± 1.51 mg/100 mL to 41.02 ± 1.68 mg/100 mL by fermentation at 37 °C and 2.0% (v/v) inoculum size for 40 h. The flavone, soluble dietary, and protein contents were also enhanced by almost 1-fold, 3-fold, and 1-fold, respectively. Fifteen phenolic compounds were quantified in the fermented broth, among which the concentration of gallic acid, quercetin, and p-coumaric acid increased by 5-fold, 4-fold, and almost 8-fold, respectively. Chlorogenic acid was a new phenolic compound produced during fermentation. Moreover, the fermented rose residue presented higher superoxide dismutase, α-amylase, and protease activity. ABTSâ¢+, hydroxylradical, and DPPH⢠scavenging activity increased by 60.93%, 57.70%, and 37.00%, respectively. This provides an effective means of transforming rose residue into a highly bioactive value-added substance.

Spirulina platensis protein hydrolysates were prepared by digesting protein extracts with papain, and the hydrolysates were separated into 30, 10, and 3 kDa weights using membrane ultrafiltration. The 0-3 kDa low-molecular-weight Spirulina peptides (LMWSPs) proved the highest chemical antioxidant activity by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability, hydroxyl radical (·OH) scavenging activities and total antioxidant capacity. Cellular antioxidant ability of LMWPs fractions against 2000 µg/mL H2O2 induced oxidative damage of L02 cells were investigated. The MTT assay results displayed that LMWSPs at different concentrations (0-1000 µg/mL) had proliferation effect on the L02 cells and that treatment of the L02 cells with the 1000 µg/mL LMWSPs (0-3 kDa) significantly prevented H2O2-induced oxidative damage compared with control cells. Moreover, the 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescent probe assay showed that the levels of ROS and NO were significantly lower in the experimental group that was treated with the peptides for 24 h than in the control group. Furthermore, using the corresponding kits, the treatment inhibited the reduction of SOD activity and the increase of MDA contents in the L02 cells. Therefore, LMWSPs (0-3 kDa) may have potential applications in antioxidant and liver health products.
RESUMEN
Chitooligosaccharides (COS) are the degraded products of chitin or chitosan. COS is water-soluble, non-cytotoxic to organisms, readily absorbed through the intestine, and eliminated primarily through the kidneys. COS possess a wide range of biological activities, including immunomodulation, cholesterol-lowering, and antitumor activity. Although work on COS goes back at least forty years, several aspects remain unclear. This review narrates the recent developments in COS antitumor activities, while paying considerable attention to the impacts of physicochemical properties (such as molecular weight and degrees of deacetylation) and chemical modifications both in vitro and in vivo. COS derivatives not only improve some physicochemical properties, but also expand the range of applications in drug and gene delivery. COS (itself or as a drug carrier) can inhibit tumor cell proliferation and metastasis, which might be attributed to its ability to stimulate the immune response along with its anti-angiogenic activity. Further, an attempt has been made to report limitations and future research. The potential health benefits of COS and its derivatives against cancer may offer a new insight on their applications in food and medical fields.

In this study, a kind of crabapple vinegar was developed by the method of mixed bacteria fermentation. It showed that the total acids and total esters in the vinegar increased by 30.51% and 22.67%, respectively. Simultaneously, ultrasound was used to treat the vinegar to shorten the time of aging. In addition, the HS-SPME-GC-MS results show that some volatile components had increased significantly, such as total esters, aldehydes and heterocycles. Combining OAV with radar chart of aroma active ingredients, the order of contribution to the characteristic aroma of crabapple vinegar was esters > alcohols > others > acids. Finally, ultrasonic cavitation and hydroxyl radicals were measured to further prove it could accelerate chemical reaction of crabapple vinegar. The results of FTIR showed that the hydrogen-bonded molecules had increased, while free molecules with irritating taste (such as ethanol and acetic acid) had decreased, which made the taste of crabapple vinegar softer. Results have showed that ultrasound is a promising technique for shortening aging time and it also provides the possibility to improve the taste of fruit vinegar.

Multilayer bottles consisting of chitosan (CS), microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), whey protein isolate (WPI), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were tested as novel materials for packaging and extending shelf life of rosebud beverages. We studied the storage stability at 4 °C, 25 °C, 37 °C, and 55 °C by assessing the physical and biochemical parameters. The results show that multilayer PET bottles had better barrier performance and improved soluble solids content, pH, polyphenol content, color indices, and browning degree in rosebud beverages over the control at all studied temperatures. A shelf life model was established based on the Arrhenius equation, and the number of days when polyphenol contents dropped to <50% of the initial content was defined as the shelf life. Our results highlight the reliability of the prediction model, and we conclude that packaging rosebud beverages in multilayer PET bottles significantly extends the product shelf life, and this benefit was further extended at low temperatures.
