RESUMO

Herein, three pretreated grapevine lignins were incorporated into carboxymethyl cellulose films. The effects of traditional NaOH pretreated lignin and DES (ChCl-LA, ChCl-LA & K2CO3-EG) pretreated lignin on film properties were compared. Modern analytical techniques were employed to systematically characterize the pretreated lignin and the different CMC-lignin films. The results showed that DES lignin was of high purity, low molecular weight, and homogeneous structure. It outperformed traditional NaOH lignin in terms of compatibility with CMC, enabling it to perform its bioactivity and physicochemical functions in films. This feature effectively enhanced the hydrophobicity, UV shielding ability, water vapor barrier, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and biological activity of CMC-DES lignin film. NMR (2D HSQC) showed that the excellent antioxidant and antibacterial capabilities of CMC-DES lignin film are due to the retention of butyl (S) and p-hydroxyphenyl (H) units in DES lignin, resulting in its rich phenolic hydroxyl content. The detailed structural elucidation of DES lignin's chemical interactions with CMC provided valuable insights into the advantageous properties observed in the films, presenting innovative solutions for applications in the food packaging and preservation industries.

RESUMO

Herein, DES lignin was obtained by pretreatment of grapevine with a deep eutectic solvent (ChCl-LA). A novel chitosan-DES lignin composite aerogel material (CS-LIG aerogel) was prepared to adsorb methylene blue (MB), Congo red (CR), catechin (C), and epicatechin (EC). The CS-LIG aerogel was systematically characterized by modern technological instruments. It was demonstrated that the DES lignin was successfully incorporated and had an important effect on the morphological structure and adsorption of dyes and natural products in the aerogel. The adsorption kinetic models for both adsorbed CR and MB are pseudo-second-order models. Adsorption isotherms followed Langmuir for the adsorption of CR and Freundlich for the adsorption of MB. The π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding of DES lignin aromatic groups in CS-LIG aerogels were responsible for the adsorption of C and EC with 86.42 % and 90.85 % removal rates, respectively. This study opens a new avenue for the high-value utilization of DES lignin and the preparation of chitosan-based composites for the adsorption of dyes and purification of natural products.

RESUMO

Natural antioxidants play an important role in promoting good health because of their prevention for oxidative damage. The work aimed to explore the antioxidant mechanism and activity of cannabidiol (CBD) at the cellular level. The human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) with oxidative damage was employed as the model to study the protective capability of CBD. The results showed that CBD pre-treatment before the cells were exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) resulted in an obvious increase of cell viability (about 100 %) and antioxidant related enzymes activity, and a decline of malondialdehyde (MDA) level. Besides, CBD could alleviate the increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, the contraction of nucleus, and condensation of chromatin. The changes showed a dose-dependent effect. Additionally, the free radicals scavenging capacity of CBD was comparable to that of typical natural antioxidant, anthocyanidins. In summary, CBD could be employed as a potent antioxidant source for avoiding the oxidative damage. These results could provide the foundation for the development of CBD antioxidant products.

RESUMO

In this study, five polysaccharides were extracted from processed Cistanche deserticola. The processing included crude product, enzymatic hydrolysis, hot air drying, stir-baking with wine and high-pressure steaming, and these polysaccharides were named as CP-CDPs, EH-CDPs, HAD-CDPs, SBW-CDPs and HPS-CDPs, respectively. The structural characteristics and biological activities were explored. The results showed that processing changed properties of C. deserticola polysaccharides. CP-CDPs had the highest brightness value L*(93.84) and carbohydrate content (61.27 %). EH-CDPs had minimum Mw (1531.50 kDa), while SBW-CDPs had maximum Mw (2526.0 kDa). Glucose was major predominant monosaccharide in CP-CDPs (89.82 %), HAD-CDPs (79.3 %), SBW-CDPs (59.41 %) and HPS-CDPs (63.86 %), while galactose was major monosaccharide in EH-CDPs (29.44 %). According to SEM, SBW-CDPs showed compact structures, while HPS-CDPs and HAD-CDPs had similar looser structure than SBW-CDPs; meanwhile, CP-CDPs showed irregular agglomeration shape and EH-CDPs was dense blocky shape. The AFM showed SBW-CDPs had the largest molecular chain than other polysaccharides. When scavenging activity reaching 50 %, the concentrations of CP-CDPs, EH-CDPs, HAD-CDPs, SBW-CDPs, HPS-CDPs are 2.25, 0.25, 0.75, 1.8 and 1.5 mg/mL, respectively. This study sheds light on the effects of traditional Chinese medicine processing on characteristics, bioactivities of C. deserticola polysaccharides, and provides the basis for applications in food and pharmaceutical industries.

RESUMO

Jet milling is a common technique in ultrafine powder preparation field. It has never been used to design delivery systems. Cannabidiol (CBD) is an important cannabinoid of hemp but poor aqueous solubility limited its applications. In this study, solid dispersion (SD) technique was combined with cyclodextrin complexation technique, and jet milling was used for the first time to prepare SDs for improving CBD solubility. Different characterizations demonstrated that the dispersion effect and complexation structure of CBD SD3 prepared by jet milling were comparable to that of CBD SD2 prepared by spray drying (a common solution-based method), and were better than that of CBD SD1 prepared by cogrinding. The water solubility of CBD was increased to 20.902 µg/mL (909-fold) in CBD SD3. Besides, the antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity to tumor cells of CBD were enhanced by dispersion. This work indicated that jet milling, as a new technique with low cost and excellent applicability, could be further developed for the delivery of food functional factors or bioactive molecules.

RESUMO

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been extensively applied to pretreat lignocellulose; however, comparative research on acidic and alkaline DES pretreatment is relatively lacking. Herein, pretreatment of grapevine agricultural by-products with seven DESs were compared in terms of removal of lignin and hemicellulose and component analysis of the pretreated residues. Among the tested DESs, both acidic choline chloride-lactic (CHCl-LA), and alkaline potassium carbonate-ethylene glycol (K2CO3-EG) were effective in delignification. Thereafter, the CHCl-LA and K2CO3-EG extracted lignin was compared by analyzing their physicochemical structure changes and antioxidant properties. The results showed that the thermal stability, molecular weight, and phenol hydroxyl percentage of CHCl-LA lignin were inferior to K2CO3-EG lignin. It was found that the high antioxidant activity of K2CO3-EG lignin was mainly attributed to the abundant phenol hydroxyl, guaiacyl (G), and para-hydroxy-phenyl (H). By comparing acidic and alkaline DES pretreatments and their lignin nuances in biorefining, novel insights are derived for the scheduling and selection of DES for lignocellulosic pretreatment.

RESUMO

A novel protocol for the construction of highly functionalized indolizine derivatives, that is, 1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]indolizine-1,3-diones (PIZDOs, 3) from 2-(pyridine-2-yl)acetates and maleimides via a regioselective oxidative [3 + 2] annulation was developed. The cascade oxidative reaction was enabled by heating a mixture of the two substrates in the presence of Ag2CO3 as an oxidant and Cu(OAc)·H2O as a catalyst in chlorobenzene. Consequently, a series of PIZDOs 3 were synthesized with high regioselectivity in moderate yields. This protocol can be used in the synthesis of functionalized PIZDOs via the one-pot oxidative annulation reaction rather than through multistep reactions, which is suitable for both combinatorial and parallel syntheses of PIZDOs.

RESUMO

In this study, a green process of ß-cyclodextrin (ß-CD)-assisted extraction of active ingredients from Forsythia suspensa leaves was developed. Firstly, the optimal process of extraction was as follows: the ratio between Forsythia suspensa leaves and ß-CD was 3.61:5, the solid-liquid ratio was 1:36.3, the temperature was 75.25 °C and the pH was 3.94. The yields of forsythoside A, phillyrin and phillygenol were 11.80 ± 0.141%, 5.49 ± 0.078% and 0.319 ± 0.004%, respectively. Then, the structure characteristics of the ß-CD-assisted extract of Forsythia suspensa leaves (FSE-ß-CD) were analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and molecular docking to demonstrate that the natural active products from Forsythia suspensa leaves had significant interactions with the ß-CD. Additionally, the loss of forsythoside A from aqueous FSE-CD at 80 °C was only 12%, compared with Forsythia suspensa leaf extract (FSE) which decreased by 13%. In addition, the aqueous solubility of FSE-CD was significantly increased to 70.2 g/L. The EC50 for scavenging DPPH and ABTS radicals decreased to 28.98 ug/mL and 25.54 ug/mL, respectively. The results showed that the ß-CD-assisted extraction process would be a promising technology for bioactive compounds extracted from plants.

RESUMO

A large amount of hemp polysaccharides remain in industrial hemp residues (IHR) after cannabidiol extraction, resulting in the waste of resources. Therefore, the systematic study of hemp polysaccharides is beneficial to the development of IHR in the future. In this study, the extraction of industrial hemp residues polysaccharide (IHRPs) was optimized by single-factor experiment and orthogonal experimental design. The optimum heating extraction conditions were extraction temperature 98 °C, solid-liquid ratio 1:10, extraction time 1 h, number of successive extractions 2, and pH at 4. The extraction ratio and the polysaccharide content were 20.12 ± 0.55% and 12.35 ± 0.26% at the conditions, respectively. Besides, the best alcohol precipitation conditions were pumping with 2 L/h, stirring continuously, and ice-water bath for 4 h. The crude IHRPs was further purified by column chromatography and the polysaccharide/protein contents of purified IHRPs were 34.44% and 1.61%. IHRPs was mainly made up of ten monosaccharides and some non-sugar components including organic acids, flavonoids, steroids, and glycoside. The FT-IR demonstrated the polysaccharide skeleton of IHRPs. Moreover, the DPPH and ABTS scavenging rate of IHRPs were 76.00% and 99.05% at the concentrations of 1 mg/mL. IHRPs could promote the epidermal cells proliferation and healing of cell scratches. Meanwhile, IHRPs could promoted the expression of anti-aging-related genes. Overall, IHRPs could be a desirable natural source of antioxidants and anti-aging products in many aspects.

RESUMO

The purity of soy lecithin exerts significant impact on nanoliposome (NL) properties for food applications. In this study, three soy lecithin of different purity were used to prepare NL. LC-MS analysis confirmed soy lecithin of relatively low purify (50% and 70%) contains multiple natural phospholipids. NL produced by soy lecithin of middle purity (70%) is smaller and more stable than other counterparts. Ultimately, soy lecithin of 70% purity was selected to develop NL encapsulated crocetin (CR) as model payload and further coated by chitosan (CS). The structure characteristic, physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory activity of crocetin nanoliposome (CR-NL) and chitosan coated crocetin nanoliposome (CS-CR-NL) were evaluated. NL encapsulation and CS coating significantly improve antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ability of CR, and prolong storage period of CR (p < 0.05). For food applications, soy lecithin of middle purity (70%) is cheaper and more appropriate than soy lecithin of high purity.

RESUMO

In this paper, membrane separation technology was employed to separate polysaccharide fractions from the water extract of quinoa seeds. The chemical composition, structure characteristic and morphology were analyzed by chemical methods and instrumental analysis including HPLC-DAD, UV, FT-IR, Congo red test, SEM, AFM, XRD, TGA and NMR. Results indicated that three polysaccharide fractions named as QPs-I, QPs-II and QPs-III were successfully separated using microfiltration and ultrafiltration membrane with MWCO of 300 and 10 kDa in sequence. The Mw and polysaccharide content of three fractions were QPs-I (4609 Da, 33.75%), QPs-II (15,932 Da, 45.31%) and QPs-III (960,895 Da, 34.65%), respectively. The polysaccharide in three fractions was heteropolysaccharide that mainly consisted of glucose, galactose and arabinose, with their combined monosaccharide percentage being 91.17% in QPs-I, 87.81% in QPs-II, and 91.72% in QPs-III, respectively. All three polysaccharide fractions contained triple-helix structure. Biological experiment showed that antioxidant and antidiabetic activities in dose-dependent manners and also revealed immunoregulatory activity on RAW264.7 cells. These results indicated that QPs has the potential to be used in a natural agent in antioxidant, antidiabetic and immunoregulation functional food.

RESUMO

Quinoa is known for its rich nutrients and bioactive compounds. In order to elucidate the preliminary structural characteristics and biological activity of polysaccharides from quinoa (QPs), five crude polysaccharides (QPE50, QPE60, QPE70, QPE80 and QPE90) were successively fractionated by gradient ethanol, and their physicochemical properties, antioxidant and antidiabetic activities were analyzed. The results implied that their total sugar contents were 52.82%, 63.69%, 67.15%, 44.56%, and 41.01%, and their weight-average molecular weights were 13,785 Da, 6489 Da, 4732 Da, 3318 Da, and 1960 Da, respectively. Glucose was a predominantly monosaccharide in these QPs, which together in QPE50, QPE60, QPE70, QPE80, and QPE90, respectively, made up 94.37%, 87.92%, 92.21%, 100%, and 100% of the total polysaccharide. Congo red test showed that all five QPs contained triple-helix structure. The Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) results suggest that the QPs form a semi-crystalline polymer constituted typical functional groups of polysaccharide including CO, CH and OH. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of QPs showed that weight loss was at about 200 °C and 320 °C. The observation from scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) image indicated that the morphology of QPs exhibited spherical shape. Antioxidant and antidiabetic assay exhibited that all five QPs samples had certain antioxidant and antidiabetic activities, and QPE90 showed the best antioxidant and antidiabetic activity. Overall, QPs present a promising natural source of food antioxidants and antidiabetic agents.

RESUMO

ε-Poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) consists of 25-35 lysine residues which are linked by an isopeptide bond formed by dehydration condensation of α-carboxyl and ε-amino groups and has good antibacterial activity and broad-spectrum inhibition range. However, there is no clear conclusion about the structure and antibacterial mechanism of ε-PL in aqueous solution. Herein, a high purity of ε-PL was prepared using Amberlite IRC-50 ion-exchange resin. Membrane filtration and dynamic light scattering were used to study the variations of ε-PL aggregation in aqueous solution with pH value. The conformational changes and antibacterial activities of ε-PL and carbamoylated ε-PL in different water environments were studied with circular dichroism (CD) and inhibition zone. The structural changes during the spray-drying process were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that the side chain amino charge played a decisive role in the ε-PL conformation and aggregation. ε-PL exhibited the properties of a ß-sheet during spray drying from acidic liquids to solids. The cation enhanced the antibacterial activity of ε-PL but did not play a key role. Instead, the backbone of ε-PL might determine the mechanism of ε-PL antibacterial.

RESUMO

A novel technique of ultrasound-assisted freeze-thaw pretreatment (UFP) was developed to improve the drying efficiency of maca and bioactive amide synthesis in maca. The optimal UFP conditions are ultrasonic processing 90 min at 30 °C with 6 freeze-thaw cycles. Samples with freeze-thaw pretreatment (FP), ultrasound pretreatment (UP), and UFP were prepared for further comparative study. A no pretreatment (NP) sample was included as a control. The results showed that UFP improved the drying efficiency of maca slices, showing the highest effective moisture diffusivity (1.75 × 10-9 m2 /s). This result was further supported by low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The rehydration capacity and protein content of maca slices were improved by UFP. More importantly, contents of bioactive macamides and their biosynthetic precursors were increased in 2.5- and 10-fold, respectively. In conclusion, UFP is an efficient technique to improve drying efficiency, physicochemical properties, and bioactive macamides of maca, which can be applied in the industrial manufacture of maca products.

RESUMO

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Gan Kang Yuan (GKY) is a compound medicine formulated on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It was composed of Herba Cistanchis (Roucongrong), Radix Puerariae (Gegen), Radix Astragali (Huangqi), Fructus Schisandrae (Wuweizi) and Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gancao). AIM: The purpose of this study is to research the hepatoprotective effect of GKY against liver injury induced by alcohol, and to elucidate the mechanism of hepatopretective effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Hepatoprotective activity of GKY was researched both in vivo and vitro. In vitro, effect of GKY on the survival rates of HepG2 cells were assessed. In vivo research, ICR mice were oral administrated with alcohol (Er Guo-tou white spirit, 56%, 6mL/kg, once per day) for 31 days to establish liver injury model. Meanwhile, positive group or experimental groups were treated with bicyclol (300mg/kg) or GKY (200, 600, 1800mg/kg). Serological indexes including aspartate and alanine transaminases (AST, ALT), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP), total bilirubin (TBil), total cholesterol (TCHO) and serum triglyceride (STG) were estimated. Hepatic indicators including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), malondialdehyde (MDA), and liver triglyceride (LTG) were analyzed. Histopathologic changes of liver tissue were observed. RESULTS: The survival rates of HepG2 cell were observably promoted by GKY. Alcoholic treatment drastically altered the serum indexes and liver indicators of model animals, while these alteration were significantly ameliorated by GKY (p < 0.05, 0.01 or 0.001) in experimental group. The microvesicular steatosis and necrosis in hepatic histopathology induced by alcoholic treatment also were notably attenuated by GKY administration. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicated that GKY possessed hepatoprotective property against liver injury induced by ethanol. GKY significantly promoted activities of relative enzymes and suppressed the contents of MDA and LTG, which might be the mechanism of hepatoprotective effect of GKY.

RESUMO

To study the characterization and hepatoprotective activity of polysaccharide from maca (Lepidium meyenii), the main polysaccharide from maca (MP-1) was obtained by DEAE-52 cellulose column. The average molecular weight of MP-1 was 1067.3kDa and the polysaccharide purity was 91.63%. In order to assess the antioxidant activities of MP-1, four kinds of methods were used, including scavenging hydroxyl radical, DPPH, superoxide anion radical, and FRAP, and the results indicated high antioxidant activities. Furthermore, hepatoprotective activity of MP-1 was studied both in vitro and vivo. In vitro, the alcohol induced Hep-G2 cells model was established to evaluate the protective effect of MP-1, which demonstrated MP-1 can alleviate alcohol damage in Hep-G2 cells. In vivo, the Institute of Cancer Researcch (ICR) mice were used to evaluate hepatoprotecive effects of MP-1 on alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Supplement with MP-1 supressed the triglyceride level both in serum and in hepatic tissue. In addition, MP-1 ameliorated serous transaminases increase induced by alcohol, including aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase, and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase. Moreover, MP-1 also dramatically increased the superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione s-transferase levels in alcoholic mice. Meantime, histopathologic results MP-1 lighten inflammation induced by alcohol. These results indicate that MP-1 possesses hepatoprotective activity against hepatic injury induced by alcohol.

RESUMO

In this study, we have aimed to prepare folic acid-conjugated dextran stearate (DF) polymeric micelles to target resveratrol in lung cancers. The polymeric micelle was nanosized and exhibited a controlled drug release pattern. The resveratrol (RSV)-loaded dextran stearate (RSV-DF) micelles exhibited an enhanced cellular uptake in A549 cells due to the folic acid-based receptor interactions. We have demonstrated that RSV-DF polymeric micelles retain the cytotoxic and metabolic effects of RSV on A549 cancer cells with potencies similar to that of the free compound. Furthermore, RSV-DF showed an enhanced cellular apoptosis of cancer cells compared to that of free RSV. We have found that apoptosis induced by RSV-DF was associated with the higher expression of p53, caspase-3, and BAX than the free RSV. The higher level of BAX and caspase-3 further indicates the involvement of mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in the anticancer efficacy of formulations. Based on these results, it can be concluded that natural compound like RSV could be an interesting prospect to treat lung cancers and the fact that folic acid-conjugated dextran stearate could be a potential carrier to deliver the drug in the cancer cells.

RESUMO

To research the preliminary characterizations, antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity of polysaccharides from Cistanche deserticola (CDPs), three polysaccharide fractions, CDP-A, CDP-B and CDP-C, were obtained by successively membrane filtration (microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration). Molecular weights, monosaccharide compositions, purities and IR spectra of the three fractions were analyzed. Results showed that CDP-C contained higher proportion of galacturonic acid (GalUA) than CDP-B and CDP-A. Antioxidant activities were also analyzed and the results revealed that CDP-C possessed the highest activity. Thus, hepatoprotective activity of CDP-C was studied further. In vitro research, CDP-C promoted viability of HepG2 cells. In vivo research, CDP-C ameliorated the alterations induced by alcohol, including serological indexes (alanine transaminase, acid phosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase and triglyceride) and hepatic indicators (superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, glutathione S-transferase and triglyceride) in model animals. The prominent microvesicular steatosis and mild necrosis in hepatic histopathology of model animals were also attenuated by CDP-C administration. These findings indicated that CDP-C possessed hepatoprotective activity against chronic hepatic injury induced by alcohol. The underlying mechanism might be that CDP-C can reduce the contents of MDA and TG, and modulate the activities of the relative enzyme. This property might associate with GalUA in CDP-C.

RESUMO

A simple and efficient chromatographic method for separation of chlorogenic acid from Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng extract was developed. The adsorption properties of nine macroporous resins were evaluated. NKA-II resin showed much better adsorption/desorption properties. The adsorption of chlorogenic acid on NKA-II resin at 25°C was well fitted to Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The dynamic adsorption and desorption experiments were carried out on columns packed with NKA-II resin to optimize the separation process. The content of chlorogenic acid in the product increased to 22.17%, with a recovery yield of 82.41%.
