Therefore, this study developed a fat-free ice cream using fat replacer including inulin (carbohydrate-based) and whey protein isolate (WPI, protein-based) at various concentrations (6%, 8%, and 10%) or their combination (1:1). Additionally, freeze-dried mulberry fruit powder was used as a functional ingredient. The results indicated that both, inulin and WPI, function differently thereby affecting the physicochemical properties of the ice cream. The combination of inulin:WPI at a 4:4 ratio produced high-quality standard ice cream with a higher sensory score. Further incorporation of freeze-dried mulberry powder (2%) in a selected fat-free ice-cream base showed enhanced sensory, nutraceutical, and textural properties of the ice cream. All fat-free and fat-free mulberry ice cream had a trace amount of fat (0.06%), while the calorie was reduced to 88.9 kcal/serving compared with a full-fat ice cream (195.7 kcal/serving). Hence, fat-free mulberry ice cream with 74.5% of nonfat milk, 5.0% of skim milk powder, 8% of inulin:WPI (4:4), 9.5% of sugar, 0.5% of emulsifier, and 2% freeze-dried mulberry powder could serve as the best alternative to the full-fat ice cream.</p>","PeriodicalId":11436,"journal":{"name":"eFood","volume":"5 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/efd2.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142316782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the exploration of COVID-19-related basic science reports and clinical research, we speculate that ferroptosis, a recently identified RCD, might be a substantial stimulator for MOF in COVID-19, and it may act as a novel treatment target.

The present study investigated the antihyperglycemic activity of black raspberry extract (BRE) and potential mechanisms in skeletal muscle cells. Differentiated C2C12 myotubes were treated with the BRE (1–1000 μg/mL) or metformin (1 mM). The protein levels of various insulin signaling targets were measured by western blot analysis. BRE significantly increased glucose uptake by upregulated insulin receptor and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) in C2C12 cells, leading to enhanced translocation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) to the plasma membrane. The expression of phosphorylated (p)-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was also enhanced by treatment with BRE, this resulting in stimulation of GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane and hence glucose uptake in skeletal muscles. These results suggest that BRE has an antihyperglycemic effect by stimulating GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane via activating the PI3K and AMPK pathways in skeletal muscle cells, thereby upregulating glucose uptake.

This study explored the direct protective effects of the <i>Tricholoma matsutake</i>-derived peptide Ser–Ala–Pro–Trp–Gly–Leu–Ala (SAPWGLA) on ethanol-induced acute gastric damage. The results showed that SAPWGLA showed dose-dependent protection against gastric mucosal injury, including the regulation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function, as well as the enhancement of mucosal barrier integrity. SAPWGLA maintained normal mitochondrial metabolism by alleviating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation; 400 mg/mL SAPWGLA reduced ROS levels by 81.72 ± 1.55% and reversed the decrease of MMP by ethanol to 1.22 ± 0.01 (J-aggregates/monomer) in GES-1 cells. Also, SAPWGLA enhanced the tight junctions between GES-1 cells. In addition, SAPWGLA improved the integrity of the mucosal barrier by maintaining the balance of the mucus layer and regulating the expression of TJ proteins. Daily oral administration of SAPWGLA (50 mg/kg) exhibited a restoration in hexosamine to 10.76 ± 0.73 mg/g prot, a regulation in claudin-1, occludin, and ZO-1 (1.21-, 1.39-, and 0.73-fold of the control group).

Herein, the inhibitory activity of PEA against xanthine oxidase (XOD) was evaluated by in vitro enzymatic reaction, and kinetic analysis, the antihyperuricemic activity, and nephroprotective effect of PEA were studied in HUA mice. The enzymatic reaction showed that the inhibitory effect of PEA (half maximal inhibitory concentration [IC₅₀] = 4.39 µmol/L) on XOD was at the same level as allopurinol (IC₅₀ = 4.05 µmol/L), and kinetic analysis indicated that PEA was a mixed competitive inhibitor. In vivo studies demonstrated that PEA exhibited excellent antihyperuricemic activity by inhibiting XOD and urate transporter 1 (URAT1), to reduce uric acid level. At the same time, PEA reduced the level of inflammatory cytokines and exerted significant nephroprotective effect through anti-inflammatory activity.

The allure of a low-calorie choice that lets people indulge in their sweet tooths while consuming less calories overall is what motivates this. Children's food products often contain a substantial number of artificial sweeteners due to their properties that aid in moisture retention, act as fillers, and serve as bulking agents. This article provides a comprehensive overview of artificial sweeteners and influences in human wealth. Studies have linked the use of artificial sweeteners to premature birth, highlighting the teratogenic potential of these compounds, particularly in beverages. Pregnant women who incorporate nonnutritive sweeteners into their diet during pregnancy are more likely to have children with birth defects, as indicated by studies on the subject. Artificial sweeteners should not be added to food for children because studies show that eating them while a child's body is still developing might disturb the balance of gut microbiota and cause potential problems like heart disease, stroke, and cognitive decline. The ingestion of nonnourishing sweeteners has adverse effects on the fertility of both men and women. Studies indicate that exceeding the recommended daily consumption that the FDA has set for artificial sweeteners can result in conditions of infertility for both genders. Additionally, there is a connection between the onset of cancer and the use of artificial sweeteners. Presently, a considerable amount of research relies on animal models rather than human ones, creating a notable gap in research. The limitation of extensive human model studies represents a drawback in validating results. Furthermore, there is a necessity for increased research focused on advancing techniques that can minimize the adverse effects of artificial sweeteners, making them more suitable for addressing issues related to obesity and various types of diabetes.</p>","PeriodicalId":11436,"journal":{"name":"eFood","volume":"5 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/efd2.184","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142137707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We established the interactions among the gut microbiota, metabolites, and brain by integrating behavioral and neurophysiological data with changes in the composition of the gut microbiota and metabolomic characteristics. We found that CCFM1029 intervention increases levels of the beneficial gut microbial metabolites indole-3-acrylic acid and short-chain fatty acid (acetic and butyric acid) and decreases levels of the neuroinflammation-associated metabolite N-acetylhistamine.

The yeasts were characterized based on cell shape, size, and colony morphology using yeast malt agar, followed by morphological, microscopic, and biochemical analyzes. Among the isolates, AC1 from a vinegar starter demonstrated superior bioemulsifier production. Emulsification efficiency tests revealed that AC1 exhibited values of 7.1 cm, 0.71 nm, and 34.50%, outperforming other isolates. The biomass yield was approximately 4.35 g/L. This strain was registered in the gene bank as JZT351 (OR115510) after a 100% match with <i>S. cerevisiae</i>. Optimal bioemulsifier production conditions for JZT351 were identified using a liquid yeast extract peptone dextrose medium, with date juice replacing 75% of the glucose, at pH 5.5, 30°C, and 72 h.

Therefore, it is necessary to review the impact of growth conditions to meet the increased demand. This will allow breeders to adjust their cultivation techniques according to consumer preferences for specific nutritional components. This systematic review seeks to provide an analysis of the available literature on the variation in growth and compositions of wheatgrass and pulse microgreens as the influence of diverse growing conditions. The growth of wheatgrass and pulse microgreens can be influenced by a range of growth conditions, such as variations in light intensity, temperature, nutrient availability, and cultivation techniques. The variation in growth and compositional components, in terms of proximate composition and certain constituents such as chlorophyll, antioxidants, minerals, phenolic compounds, and secondary metabolites, is discussed in relation to the changing cultivation parameters as published in recent studies. However, this review only covers the compositional make-up of wheatgrass and pulse microgreens. There remains a need to summarize the compositional profiles of other microgreen species under various conditions. Ultimately, this review illuminates the promise of emerging superfoods and underscores how their growth and composition can vary depending on cultivation methods, ultimately impacting their capacity to promote health.
