Approximately 46% of the food waste is contributed by fruit and vegetable waste. Due to improper waste handling, these fruit by-products have a negative impact on the environment through soil and water pollution, the greenhouse effect, global warming, and eutrophication. However, research has shown the potential to reuse fruit waste in various applications for sustainability owing to their high source of valuable components and potential health benefits. In recent years, researchers have also explored the potential of reutilizing fruit waste as a prebiotic. Hence, literatures from the past 10 years has been critically analyzed and presented in this review. This review focused on the potential of fruit waste as a prebiotic for probiotic and gastrointestinal microorganisms and its food applications. The nutritional composition and bioactive compounds of the fruit wastes had been introduced to reflect their potential as prebiotics. Moreover, the increase in bioactive compounds and bioactivities in probiotics with the presence of fruit wastes has been reviewed. The impact of fruit by-products on the growth of the probiotic and its survivability in food matrices as compared to established prebiotic and the absence of prebiotics have also been extensively discussed in this review. This review also highlighted some of the factors that might contribute to the negative effect of fruit waste on probiotics. The safety concerns and future prospects of reutilizing fruit wastes for food applications have been emphasized. The review article is beneficial for researchers exploring fruit wastes as prebiotics and industrialists who are interested in incorporating fruit wastes as an added-value ingredient for food applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":20506,"journal":{"name":"Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142392688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The HT-29 cell binding, antimicrobial properties, adhesion to the mucin/mucus layer, growth in the presence of mucin, stability during in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, biofilm formation, and mucin/mucus thickness increment abilities were all assessed for artisanal LAB strains. Sixteen LAB strains out of 40 were chosen for further analysis based on their ability to withstand GI conditions. Thirteen strains remained viable in simulated intestinal fluid, while most showed high viability in gastric juice simulation. Furthermore, 35.9-65.4% of those 16 bacteria adhered to the mucin layer. Besides, different lactate levels were produced, and Streptococcus thermophilus UIN9 exhibited the highest biofilm development. In the HT-29 cell culture, the highest mucin levels were 333.87 µg/mL with O. AK8 at 50 mM lactate, 313.38 µg/mL with Lactobacillus acidophilus NRRL-B 1910 with initial mucin, and 311.41 µg/mL with Lacticaseibacillus casei NRRL-B 441 with initial mucin and 50 mM lactate. Nine LAB strains have been proposed as anti-obesity candidates, with olive isolates of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum being particularly important due to their ability to avoid mucin sugar consumption.

While high hydrophobicity can be deployed in peptides for eliminating Gram-positive bacteria, high cationicity is usually observed in AMPs against Gram-negative pathogen. This study investigates how the sequence distribution of basic amino acids affects peptide activity. For this purpose, we utilized human cathelicidin LL-37 as a template and designed four highly selective ultrashort peptides with similar length, net charge, and hydrophobic content. LL-10 + , RK-9 + , KR-8 + , and RIK-10 + showed similar activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and comparable antibiofilm efficacy in a murine wound model. However, these peptides showed clear activity differences against Gram-negative pathogens with RIK-10 + (i.e., LL-37mini2) being the strongest and LL-10 + the weakest. To understand this activity difference, we characterized peptide toxicity; the effects of salts, pH, and serum on peptide activity; and the mechanism of action and determined the membrane-bound helical structure for RIK-10 + by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. By writing an R program, we generated charge density plots for these peptides and uncovered the importance of the N-terminal high-density basic charges for antimicrobial potency. To validate this finding, we reversed the sequences of two peptides. Interestingly, sequence reversal weakened the activity of RIK-10 + but increased the activity of LL-10 + especially against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Those more active peptides with high cationicity at the N-terminus are also more hydrophobic based on HPLC retention times. A database search found numerous natural sequences that arrange basic amino acids primarily at the N-terminus. Combined, this study not only obtained novel peptide leads but also discovered one useful strategy for designing novel antimicrobials to control drug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens.</p>","PeriodicalId":20506,"journal":{"name":"Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142392689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrohydrodynamic procedures are highly adaptable, uncomplicated, and easily expandable, resulting in enhanced product quality and functionality across various food domains.

Despite the recent introduction of several new therapeutic approaches for the disease, improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival have been minimal. Conventional treatments for NSCLC include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Except for surgery, these treatments can impair a patient's immune system, leaving them susceptible to bacterial infections. As such, Staphylococcus aureus infections are commonly seen in NSCLC patients receiving chemotherapy, and a major constituent of the S. aureus cell surface, lipoteichoic acid (LTA), is thought to stimulate NSCLC cancer cell proliferation. Thus, inhibition of LTA-mediated cell proliferation might be a useful strategy for treating NSCLC. Epinecidin-1 (EPI), a marine antimicrobial peptide, exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, and it also displays anti-cancer activity in glioblastoma and synovial sarcoma cells. Furthermore, EPI has been shown to inhibit LTA-induced inflammatory responses in murine macrophages. Nevertheless, the anti-cancer and anti-LTA activities of EPI and the underlying mechanisms of these effects have not been fully tested in the context of NSCLC. In the present study, we demonstrate that EPI suppresses LTA-enhanced proliferation of NSCLC cells by neutralizing LTA and blocking its effects on toll-like receptor 2 and interleukin-8. Moreover, we show that EPI induces necrotic cell death via mitochondrial damage, elevated reactive oxygen species levels, and disrupted redox balance. Collectively, our results reveal dual anti-cancer activities of EPI in NSCLC, as the peptide not only directly kills cancer cells but it also blocks LTA-mediated enhancement of cell proliferation.</p>","PeriodicalId":20506,"journal":{"name":"Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins","volume":" ","pages":"1724-1733"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11445356/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9889318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
