However, α-L-rhamnosidase production in yeasts as well as its vast potential for biotechnological processes is less reported. α-L-Rhamnosidase is one of the important biotechnologically attractive enzymes in several industrial and biotechnological processes. In food and agriculture industries, the enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of hesperidin to release L-rhamnose and hesperidin glucoside, industrial removal of bitterness from citrus juices caused by naringin, and enhancing aroma in grape juices and derived beverages. In pharmaceutical and chemical industries, this enzyme is used in the structural determination of polysaccharides, glycosides and glycolipids, metabolism of gellan, conversion of chloropolysporin B to chloropolysporin C, and production of prunin. Rhamnosidases are extensively distributed in fungi and bacteria while their production from yeast sources is less reported. Yeast rhamnosidase is very important as it is produced in short-duration fermentation, with enhanced shelf life, high thermal stability, capable of retaining juice flavor, and is non-toxic for human consumption. In this review, an attempt has been made to fill up this gap by focusing on production, purification, characterization, structural and molecular biological studies of yeast rhamnosidase and its potential biotechnological applications.","PeriodicalId":16004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology-mysore","volume":"18 1","pages":"313-324"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85090146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, P. fluorescens P07 was treated with vanillin, which showed strong QS inhibitory activity, and its resultant effects on swarming motility, biofilm formation, and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) secretion were measured. The mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects were then explored by transcriptomic analysis. The results showed that vanillin had inhibitory effects on swarming motility, biofilm formation, N-acyl-L-homoserine Lactone (AHLs) and EPS secretion of P. fluorescens P07. The result of transcriptionomic tests indicated that the decrease in bacterial biofilm formation was probably due to the influence of vanillin on mobility, adhesion, chemotaxis, EPS secretion, and QS system of the bacteria.","PeriodicalId":16004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology-mysore","volume":"1 1","pages":"275-292"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87324584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although these mycotoxins have not been regulated yet, their high prevalence in food and feed, as well as their potential toxic effects in humans and animals have made of them a burning issue and a threat to food security. Besides its inophoric properties, these mycotoxins may induce cells damages such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial modifications and the disruption on the cell cycle related to several health adverse effects such as immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, endocrine toxicity and neurotoxicity. Moreover, they showed interesting activity against various microorganisms and insects in several studies, leading to a potential use in pesticide and medicine research, as potential candidates for anticancer therapy. Botanicals can go contaminated by mycotoxins when the harvesting practices or manufacturing conditions are inadequate, which make mandatory their study. Methods: This review explores emerging mycotoxins occurrence in several botanicals forms and discuss their possible prejudicial and beneficial effects. Results: Several researchers have reported mycotoxins occurrence at low incidences and levels in botanicals. Despite emerging mycotoxins toxic effects, beneficial properties have been attributed to these mycotoxins by several authors. These compounds are related to insecticidal activity, antibacterial properties, and antifungal and antiviral activities. Cell organelles or enzyme systems are the targets in its antimicrobial activity. Data collected showed also that emerging mycotoxins are involved in capacity of the multidrug transport protein in human cancer cells modulation and apoptotic cell death induction, several researchers are explaining the possibility to employ them with medicinal purpose. Conclusion: More studies are required to explore enniatins and beauvericin possible applications in medicinal and pesticide research. Furthermore, it is important to highlight that the regulation of emerging mycotoxins in food must be revised and updated.","PeriodicalId":16004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology-mysore","volume":"66 1","pages":"263-274"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78638774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, TG is isolated from strains of Streptomyces sp. However, the development of a facile and efficient production of commercial TG is always desirable. Purpose: In the current study, we described an efficient route for TG production in a food-grade strain of bacteria, Bacillus subtilis. Method: Two strategies were employed for the extracellular production of S. ladakanum TG in B. subtilis. Sixteen signal peptides were optimized to secret TG into the extracellular medium. Site-directed mutageneses in pro-peptide were further utilized to improve the enzymatic activity. The enzymatic characteristics of S. ladakanum TG expressed in B. subtilis were analyzed. Results: The N-terminal amino acids played important roles in enzymatic activity. Signal peptides of SacB (SPSacB) and AbnA (SPAbnA) showed good abilities to direct the secretion of TG into the medium. The enzyme was secreted into the medium and exhibited good Ca stability and temperature stability, which were comparable to those produced by commercial strains. The enzymatic activity in the supernatant of culture reached 7.6 U/mg. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that B. subtilis may be a good candidate for the efficient and stable production of TG and has a much easier purification process.","PeriodicalId":16004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology-mysore","volume":"53 1","pages":"252-262"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85438783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AISI 304 stainless steel coupons were treated using energy of 2 and 4 keV for silver implantation and simulations were performed to estimate its dose distribution. Coupons containing silver ions were contaminated with S. Enteritidis and L. monocytogenes and incubated at 25 °C for 1 and 24 h. Results demonstrated that 4 keV treatment were able to reduce S. Enteritidis, but not L. monocytogenes. However, the 2 keV treatment showed significant reductions of both pathogens and the depth profiles of surfaces treated with 2 keV of energy showed 3.5×10 silver atoms/cm2 implanted in up to 5 nm from the stainless steel surface. Silver implanted on stainless steel using low-energy doses demonstrated antimicrobial properties against foodborne pathogens and this strategy can be used to reduce adhered cells and biofilm formation in food industries.","PeriodicalId":16004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology-mysore","volume":"62 1","pages":"244-251"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79491504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Superficial scald was detected after 120 and 200 days of storage. Harvest date and production area significantly affected the incidence of superficial scald and the quality of ‘Suli’ fruits. Earlier harvest time was associated with increased incidence of superficial scald. Fruits picked at Linyi developed more severe superficial scald than fruits harvested at Taigu. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that the cuticle and wax layer of fruits from Taigu were thicker than those from Linyi after storage. The surface of earlier harvested fruits had less wax and more extensive cracking, lower pectin content, and damaged skin organization structure. The incidence of superficial scald in ‘Suli’ pears is dependent on the ultra-structure of these superficial layers, and differences may be driven by harvest date and location.","PeriodicalId":16004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Technology-mysore","volume":"51 1","pages":"234-243"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83064540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes leads to decrease in the absorption of glucose which is considered as one of the effective managements of diabetes mellitus. Vegetable, fruit, milk and fish are good sources of nucleosides and inosine (INO), nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) with versatile health benefits. The welladapted structural features of these compounds for the inhibition/activation of enzymes include several available hydrogen bond (H-bond) acceptors and donors, flexible backbone and hydrophobic nature. The substrates of α-amylase (α-Amy) and α-Glucosidase (α-Glu), known as key absorbing enzymes, have functional groups (OH groups) resembling nucleosides. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory properties of nucleosides against αAmy and α-Glu. The median inhibition concentration (IC50) values for α-Glu in the presence of adenosine (ADN), adenosine triphosphate (AMP), NR, INO, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose, ADP-glucose and NMN were determined 208.6±3.8, 254.1±5.2, 177.7±4.8, 192.1±5.2, 215.9±2.7, 65.4±1.3, 63.4±2.2, 75.6±4.2 and 196.1±2.6, respectively.

Oxidative stress (OS) is a major contributor toward NAFLD development, while mitochondria play a central role in OS. Our previous study has shown that uric acid (UA), as a dual function metabolite, could alleviate OS. This study examined the impact of UA on mitochondria morphology and function in a model of steatosis using L-02 cells to explore the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Methods: The L‐02 hepatocyte cell line was used to develop a steatosis cell model via 0.3 mM oleic acid (OA) over 24 h, subsequently treated with uric acid (UA) dose of 5, 10, and 20 mg/dL for 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. The fluorescence intensity of reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis rate, and activity of Succinate dehydrogenase(SDH), cytochrome oxidas(CCO), and adenosine triphosphate(ATP) synthase in electron transport chain (ETC), as well as the content of ATP and 8-OH-dG were examined; ultrastructure was observed under an electron microscope. Results: Treatment with UA at a concentration of 5 and 10 mg/dL decreased the rate of ROS production, apoptosis, and 8-OH-dG concentration, while supporting ATP recovery, and SDH activity in the steatosis model cell. It also promoted lipid droplet metabolism; however, the recovery of mitochondria morphology was not obvious. Conclusions: Treatment with UA dose of 5 and 10 mg/dL could protect mitochondria from OS damage. Future research requires a more stable and effective model. keywords: electron transport chain, oxidative stress, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease Copy rights: © 2020 The Author(s).

Maize-Soy blend in 3/1 proportion (MASO31) is consumed as complementary food in Katanga. Nevertheless, its nutritional value isn’t known nor its adequacy as additional food. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional value of MASO31 content according to the WHO recommendations on complementary feeding. Two samples of MASO31 formulas were taken of two different preparations, for biochemical analysis nutrients data (energy, protein, Fe, Ca, P, Zn) in the Research and Agro Alimentary Analysis Center (CRAA) of Lubumbashi. The biochemical methods used were specific to analyze each nutrient data in MASO31 such as conversion factors and KJELDHAL. Comparative analysis of «MASO31» content was done using the WHO Complementary Feeding Recommendations as gold standard. Energy and nutrients content of 100g of «MASO31» were higher than the WHO Recommendations for complementary feeding period in daily need. But, calcium and phosphorus content was lower than the recommendations and needed improvements. The number of times that was proposed by ACANUDE NGO for «MASO31» to be fed is similar to the WHO recommendations on meal frequency in complementary feeding. MASO31 may be recommended in complementary feeding in DRC but calcium and phosphorus content should be enriched.
