However, the relevant mechanisms still remain largely unknown. Here, using a mouse erythrocyte model, whether the fluidity of plasma membrane is influenced by 10-HDA was investigated. 10-HDA was shown to enhance the erythrocyte membrane fluidity and to rescue the fluidity from •OH toxicity. In such occasions, 10-HDA promoted the dissolved O2 level in erythrocyte suspension thereof. The levels of β-actin and band 4.1 protein were not affected by 10-HDA in erythrocytes. In the framework of density functional theory, 10-HDA may interact with phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidy-lethanolamine, the major components of membrane lipid bilayer. This was evidenced by the fact that 10-HDA was detectable in erythrocytes after its addition to the erythrocyte suspension. Moreover, the fluorescent intensity of erythrocytes stained by the membrane probe DiIC18(5) increased with 10-HDA treatment. Hence, 10-HDA could regulate the erythrocyte membrane fluidity and the release of O2 from erythrocytes via targeting lipids rather than proteins. Our data cast light on the elucidation of the mechanism of 10-HDA modulating cell functionality and the utilization of 10-HDA in remedying the erythrocyte membrane fluidity-associated symptoms.","PeriodicalId":14670,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Food Science","volume":"8 31","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138586436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, dough obtained according to the classic recipe was leavened for 20 min at 25°C, divided into 250 g dough rolls, and further leavened for 8 (C8) or 16 h (C16) at 22°C before packaging. The packed samples were stored at 2.0 ± 0.5°C for 28 days. Every 7 days, colony-forming units, pH, total titratable acidity, volume, and the consistency of the dough rolls were evaluated. After 28 days, the samples with the longer leavening time (C16) exhibited similar characteristics to the fresh product. In addition, the ability of the dough to develop a pizza rim was evaluated through cooking tests after 28 days of storage: the rims of the C16 rolls were similar to that of the fresh product. These results represent an important starting point for large-scale marketing of ready-to-use dough rolls, allowing consumers to taste a real “Pizza Napoletana” (TSG) product even in pizzerias outside the Campania region.","PeriodicalId":14670,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Food Science","volume":"31 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138587511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results showed that inferior spikelets produced higher aroma than superior spikelets, but opposite trend was observed in grain yield. A significant positive correlation was observed between grain yield and contribution ratio to yield, number of grains/m2, filled number of grains/m2, percentage of filled grains, and total nitrogen content in grains. Besides, 2AP content at different panicle positions showed a significant negative relationship with contribution ratio to yield but a significant positive correlation with moisture content. The findings demonstrated that it was feasible to improve fragrance and maintain grain yield by reducing the difference between superior and inferior spikelets during grain filling period.

Anchovy were marinated with 4% acetic acid and 12% NaCl, put into plastic jars, filled with either olive oil or rosehip sauce and stored at 4°C. Changes in sensory attributes were determined during the process, and the following chemical parameters were monitored: total phenolic content (mg/100 g GAE), total volatile basic nitrogen (mg/100 g), pH, peroxide value (meq/kg) and thiobarbituric acid (mg MDA/kg). Values of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) increased during the storage. Higher values of TVB-N, TBA and PV were found in samples with olive oil than those with rosehip sauce. Samples with rosehip sauce demonstrated better oxidative stability.

The high temperature could promote the release of eugenol in the early stages of heating, while low temperature delayed the time to reach the maximum ratio. Kinetic analysis showed that the release behavior of eugenol at different temperatures was consistent with the first-order release model.
