Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a hepatotoxin that triggers liver damage. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of phytochemicals detected in Moringa oleifera Lam. leaf extract (MOLE) on CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. Phytochemicals, tot
A convenient, cost-effective and fast method using dynamic microwave-assisted extraction and liquid phase microextraction based on the solidification of a floating drop was proposed to analyze organochlorine pesticides in grains including rice, maize and
To investigate the behavior of all-trans-β-carotene during digestion, in-vitro digestion coupled with HPLC-DAD, Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy were used to monitor it. All-trans-β-carotene reduced by 75% during the in-vitro
To objectively classify and evaluate the strong aroma base liquors (SABLs) of different grades, solid-phase microextraction-mass spectrometry (SPME-MS) combined with chemometrics were used. Results showed that SPME-MS combined with a back-propagation arti
Insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) and soluble dietary fiber (SDF) extracted from wheat bran were modified by snail enzyme and their physicochemical properties (water retention capacity and oil retention capacity), functional properties (cholesterol adsorption
Bee pollen has potential in preventing metabolic syndrome (MetS). The present study aimed to investigate the effect of yeast-fermented wall-broken bee pollen (YB) intervention on ICR mice with MetS induced with a high-fat (HF) diet. After YB intervention
Spine grape (Vitis davidii Foex.) is an important wild grape species native to China. Fifteen red spine grape clones and three red Vitis vinifera grape varieties were used to evaluate the differences in the anthocyanin profiles and color properties of wi
Prebiotics may enhance iron absorption, and one plausible mechanism involves the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in the colon by intestinal microflora. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of common commercially-availabl
The effect of process and storage on the volatiles and odorant profile of Chinese dry sausage was evaluated, as well as its physicochemical parameters. Microbial esterification and wine (27.54%–43.35%), and lipid oxidation (11.30%–34.92%) played a key rol
Traditionally, fish carcass is headed and gutted to prepare a skin-on fillet in surimi production. In this study, tail and/or belly of grass carp carcass were further cut off in the filleting step. Yield, composition, gelling properties and aroma profile
This study aimed to isolate and characterize the structures of glycoproteins from peas and determine their hypoglycemic activity. The crude pea glycoproteins (PGP) were extracted by hot water and purified by diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-Sepharose chromatograp
This study investigated the anti-anxiety/anti-depression potential of a formula containing red pomegranate fruit extract (RPFE; 40%, m/m), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (JB-1) (34%, m/m), magnesium gluconate (25%, m/m) and vanillin (1%, m/m). The RPFE formula (
This study was designed to elucidate the immunoregulation of Ganoderma lucidum. HPLC fingerprint and spectrum-effect relationship of G. lucidum were established to predict the active compounds and BP neural network model was established to predict the eff
Zein, a class of alcohol-soluble prolamines in maize endosperm, is mainly composed of α-zein, β-zein, and γ-zein. It has been recognized as a structural protein for various gluten-free systems since it can form gluten-like viscoelastic network. The format
Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), or amylin, has been identified as a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). IAPP aggregates, which form amyloid fibrils, contribute to cytotoxicity of the pancreatic β-cells, resulting in loss of function
Due to the increased potential for application of natural biopolymers in the food industry, the goal of this study was to prospectively produce antimicrobial fi lms using asparagus residue. In this study, cellulose was extracted from asparagus residue, an
This study established a method for the simultaneous determination of 74 pesticide residues in Panax notoginseng by QuEChERS pretreatment method coupled with GC-MS/MS, and carried out pesticide residue analysis on 20 batches of market samples in China. Th
Yeasts are one of the predominant microbial groups in fermented meats. In this study, yeast communities of Chinese Dong fermented pork (Nanx Wudl) were investigated and the technological properties of 73 yeast isolates were evaluated. Through culture-depe
The stewed pork balls with brown sauce (SPB-BS) in China is well known for its delicacy and preferred by consumers. Maillard reaction (MR) is widespread in SPB-BS due to the use of sugar, meat and sauce in the thermal process. However, there is a lack of
Fungi contamination is an important factor affecting the quality and commercial value of fermented milk. Vanillin is known as a safe and effi cient natural antimicrobial additive with great potential value as a food bio-preservative. In this study, the mi
