In this study, response surface methodology was used to optimize the preparation process of small yellow ginger extract using total polyphenols content as an indicator, and the chemical composition, antioxidant capacity and protective effects of the extract on alcohol-induced injury in HepG2 cells were investigated. The results implied that the best conditions to reach the highest value of total polyphenols content (10.59 mg GAE/g) were an extraction time of 32 min, ethanol concentration of 71 % v/v, solid-liquid ratio of 1:19 g/mL, and temperature of 60 ℃. The 67 main components were identified by UPLC-MS/MS. The extract exhibited excellent DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging effects (IC<sub>50</sub> of 0.11 mg/mL and 28.83 μg/mL, respectively) and ORAC values (758.36 μmol TE/g lyophilized powder). The CAA assay indicated that the extract possessed potent antioxidant activity (46.22 μg/mL) against HepG2 cells. Furthermore, the extract exhibited a significant protective effect on ethanol-induced HepG2 cell injury.

This review aims to explore the nutritional, functional, and commercial potential of microalgae in food applications, focusing on their role in the development of food supplements and novel food formulations. Over recent decades, microalgae have been steadily introduced into the food industry and have seen modest expansion. Due to their high content of beneficial fatty acids (linoleic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid), carotenoids, vitamins, phycobilin pigments, highly digestible proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, microalgae are becoming recognised for their sustainable valorization potential.

BNPs also effectively inhibited cell viability, migration, proliferation, and colony formation, while inducing apoptosis, autophagy, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction—hallmarks of targeted cancer cell death.
