The enhanced capacities of meat production to meet the demands of the rapidly increasing global population is causing serious issues relating to health, environment, and animal welfare. Suitable meat alternatives that are protein-rich, sustainable, and healthier are being continuously explored by scientists globally. In this direction, edible medicinal mushrooms can be used as promising healthier meat alternatives as they provide natural meaty texture, flavors and are also rich in proteins, essential amino acids, β-glucans, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and antioxidants. Mushrooms have proven medicinal benefits including anticancer, immunomodulatory, antiviral, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Search PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for relevant studies from February 1974 to September 2022. Pooled results were calculated using a fixed-effect model to assess the effects of probiotics supplementation or probiotics add supplement in CHD. A total of 10 randomized controlled trials were included in this analysis. Overall, probiotics add supplement showed statistically significant reductions in triglycerides, insulin, homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6, and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score, compared to the control group (standardized mean difference [SMD]: −0.35 mg/dL; SMD: −0.64 μIU/mL; SMD: −0.90; SMD: −0.57 mg/dL; SMD: −0.60 pg/mL; SMD: −0.52; respectively), but high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, nitric oxide (NO) were statistically significant increased (SMD: 0.45 mg/dL; SMD: 1.01 μmol/L; respectively).

The results showed C3G alleviated PM10-induced lung inflammation by reducing matrix metalloproteinases production at both gene and protein levels as well as pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Autophagy was activated in PM10-injured alveolar macrophages (AMs), and C3G promoted autophagy indicated by LC3, BECN1, Atg5, Bcl-2, and P62 expression, and C3G further resisted PM10-induced AMs apoptosis. Besides, C3G could promote Pink1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy of AMs to alleviate the overexpression of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) so that maintain mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP productions to restrict the distribution of Cyt-c and further reduce the increasing of caspase 3/7 activity. Therefore, C3G enhanced the clearance of PM10-damaged mitochondria by promoting AMs mitophagy, thereby reducing the activation of mitochondria-dependent apoptosis pathway and the production of excess ROS, which reduced AMs apoptosis and secretion of pro-inflammatory factors to ameliorate PM10-induced pulmonary inflammation, suggesting that C3G may be as a functional food ingredient with the potential to improve lung health.</p>","PeriodicalId":11436,"journal":{"name":"eFood","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/efd2.119","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135684696","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}

Our results showed that ZAV ameliorated morphological damage by hematoxylin and eosin and Oil Red O staining in alcohol-treated liver. ZAV relieved symptoms of ALD, which presented as decreased serum triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, alanine transaminase, and aspartate aminotransferase levels. In addition, ZAV treatment inhibited hepatic oxidative stress levels by downregulating reactive oxygen species generation, and the oxidative products (malonaldehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine), and upregulating catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, and glutathione peroxidase. ZAV further reduced production of tumor necrosis factor-α and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and elevated levels of interleukin-4 and transforming growth factor-β indicating the inhibition of alcohol-induced inflammation. Furthermore, ZAV treatment increased expression levels of autophagy-associated proteins in ALD mice by western blot, which participated in anti-ALD effect of ZAV.

These proteins exhibit tremendous potential for diverse applications within the food industry. By gaining insights into efficient extraction techniques and understanding the physicochemical and functional properties of fruit seed proteins, researchers and industry professionals can harness their advantages to develop innovative food products. Various extraction methods, such as acid alkali, microwave-assisted, ultrasound-assisted, reverse micelle extraction, and the Box–Behnken experimental design, have been used for extracting proteins from a range of fruit seeds, including jackfruit, kiwi, watermelon, date palm, and grape seeds. The selection of these methods was based on their efficiency, protein yield, and compatibility with fruit seed proteins, with any associated limitations duly acknowledged by the researchers. The review also explores physicochemical characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy, used specifically for jackfruit seed protein, while delving into essential functional properties including solubility, water-binding capacity, oil-binding capacity, emulsifying capacity, foaming capacity, and bulk density. These properties play a crucial role in determining the suitability of fruit seed proteins for various food applications, significantly impacting factors like texture, crispiness, and color. Waste fruit seeds, often overlooked, can serve as a valuable source of proteins, possessing multifunctional properties encompassing nutrition, structure, enzymes, emulsification, foaming, gelation, and thickening.
