Sweet proteins, in particular brazzein, are an alternative to synthetic sweeteners that have natural origin, are broken down in the intestines along with food proteins, and do not affect blood sugar and insulin levels. <b>The purpose</b> of the review was to analyze the available data on the sweet protein brazzein, its physical and chemical properties, existing biotechnological methods of production, and prospects for application in the food industry in order to further develop an optimized heterologous expression system. <b>Material and methods</b>. Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, RSCI and eLibrary.ru databases were used for collecting and analyzing literature. Search depth - 30 years. <b>Results</b>. Numerous studies of the physical and chemical properties of brazzein have demonstrated its high potential for use in the food industry. In particular, a short amino acid sequence, thermal stability, the ability to maintain its structure and sweet properties in a wide pH range, hypoallergenicity, lack of genotoxicity, and an extremely high level of sweetness compared to sucrose allow us to conclude that its use is promising. Mutant variants of brazzein have been generated, the sweetest of which (with three amino acid substitutions H31R/E36D/E41A) exceeds sucrose sweetness by 22 500 times. To date, various systems for the expression of recombinant brazzein have already been developed, in which bacteria (Escherichia coli, Lactococcus lactis, Bacillus licheniformis), yeast (Komagataella phaffii, Kluyveromyces lactis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae), plants (Zea mays, Oryza sativa, Lactuca sativa, Nicotiana tabacum, Daucus carota) and animals (Mus musculus) have been used. <b>Conclusion</b>. Due to its high sweetness, organoleptic properties and long history of human consumption, brazzein can be considered as a promising natural sweetener. Despite the short peptide sequence, the production of the recombinant protein faced a number of problems, including low protein yield (for example, it could only be detected in mouse milk by Western blot hybridization) and loss of sweetness. Thus, further optimization of the process is necessary for widespread brazzein use in the food industry, which includes the selection of an adequate producer and the use of extracellular expression systems to reduce the final cost of the product.</p>","PeriodicalId":23652,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy pitaniia","volume":"93 1","pages":"61-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140332076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was prepared on the materials of the archives of St. Petersburg, considered from the position of the social history of medicine, which is centered on the study of medical practice. <b>Results</b>. In the blockaded Leningrad under the conditions of food, electricity, and water supply shortages, there was a forced abandonment of a number of principles of infant feeding generally recognized by the pediatricians. Almost all infants born in the blockade ring were transferred to artificial feeding with the release of infant formula through milk kitchens. In conditions of food shortages, children under the age of three were also provided with centralized milk products. The activities of the staff of the milk kitchens were carried out in close contact with doctors of regional children's consultations and specialists of the Leningrad Pediatric Institute, who developed issues of rational nutrition for infants. During the blockade years, the formulae developed before the war were generally retained, but due to the lack of dairy resources, vegetable products were used as substitutes. As the food situation in the city improved, doctors and milk kitchens reverted to pre-war recipes, especially for infant nutrition.

A separate problem of PEM is the identification of mild forms of pathology, which are often missed. The pathogenesis of PEM is insufficiently studied, in particular, the variability of pathology development depending on gender. <b>The aim</b> of the research was to characterize the peculiarities of the blood metabolic profile of infants at the initial stage of PEM with regard to gender. <b>Material and methods</b>. 38 children (20 boys, 18 girls) aged from 1 to 12 months with the degree I of PEM were examined; the comparison group consisted of 30 children (18 boys, 12 girls) aged from 2 to 12 months. Laboratory monitoring included general and biochemical blood tests with evaluation of such parameters as the content of total protein, albumin, hemoglobin, transferrin, urea, creatinine, glucose, lactate, pyruvate, triglycerides, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine phosphokinase, using hematological analyzer (MEDONIC, Boule Diagnostics AB, Japan) and biochemical analyzer (Cobas Integra 400plus, Roche Diagnostics, Switzerland). <b>Results</b>.

As a source of fucoxanthin, an oil extract from the thallom (stratum) of the annual Undaria pinnatifida brown algae was used, obtained by re-extraction with soy oil for 8 hours from a glycerin extract (extractant - 60% glycerin solution, the duration of the process - 8 h). The determination of organoleptic parameters was carried out at a temperature of 20 °C 12 h after manufacture using standard methods. Organoleptic parameters were determined in the following sequence: consistency, appearance, color, smell, taste. Physical and chemical characteristics (mass content of fat, moisture, egg products in terms of dry yolk, acidity in terms of acetic acid, emulsion stability), acid and peroxide values were studied by standard methods. Fatty acid analysis of lipids was performed by gas-liquid chromatography. The fucoxanthin content was determined by spectrophotometric method. <b>Results</b>. The presented formulations of lipid compositions as the fat base of specialized oil-fat emulsion food systems for the prevention of hyperlipidemia and obesity included Schizochytrium sp. microalgae oil in a mass fraction of 3-6% as a source of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids). An oil extract of U. pinnatifida brown algae in a mass fraction of 48-54% was used as a source of fucoxanthin. The total content of PUFA was significantly high - at least 73%, ω-6 PUFA prevailed (48.0-49.1%). However, the high content of ω-3 PUFA (at least 25%) should be also noted. The ratio of ω-3 to ω-6 PUFA was 1:1.72-1:1.90, which is atypical for individual vegetable oils traditionally used as the fat phase in fat-and-oil emulsion systems. The fucoxanthin content in the presented lipid compositions was 6.4-7.2 mg/100 ml. Edible fat-and-oil emulsion food systems for the prevention of hyperlipidemia and obesity (mayonnaise and mayonnaise sauces) with a given ratio of ω-3:ω-6 PUFA containing eicosopentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, as well as fucoxanthin, have been obtained.

To justify the recommended daily dose and duration of vitamin D intake, which in some cases can reduce the activity of MSCTD, it is necessary to measure its initial level in the blood serum of patients at risk.</p>","PeriodicalId":23652,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy pitaniia","volume":"93 4","pages":"84-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142476062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, dietary patterns of patients with different clinical types of the disease are worth to be studied . &lt;b&gt;The aim&lt;/b&gt; of the research was to study the dietary patterns in patients with NAFLD and with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (group T2DM+) compared to the control group without T2DM (T2DM-). &lt;b&gt;Material and methods&lt;/b&gt;. A retrospective analysis of the database (n=316) of patients with NA FLD, formed in the period from 202 1 to 2023, was carried out. A total of 79 sex- and agem atched pairs of T2D+ and T2D- pat ients were selected for the case-control study. Hepatic steatosis and fibrosis stage assessment was performed using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP). Actual nutrition was evaluated using a semi-quantitative method of assessing consumption frequency during a personal interview. Consumption of 100 grouped food items was assessed. Blood parameters characterizing lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were assessed. &lt;b&gt;Results&lt;/b&gt;. Among patients with T2DM+, patients with NASH (24.1 vs 8.9%, p=0.005) and patients with severe liver fibrosis F3-F4 (32.9 vs 10.1%, p&lt;0.0001) were significantly more common. There were no differences between the T2DM+ and T2DM- groups in energy consumption (1969 [1492; 3098] vs 1870 [1380; 2593] kcal/day; p=0.4), proteins (90.5 [71.5; 130.3] vs 81.0 [59.4; 116.0] g/day; p=0.1), fats (83.0 [66.7; 144.9] vs 78.8 [59.2; 116.4] g/day; p=0.3), carbohydrates (220 [156; 312] vs 209 [155; 282] g/day; p=0.9). The study of dietary patterns revealed greater consumption of meat and meat products (1.23 [0.84; 1.73] vs 0.96 [0.71; 1.37] times a day, p=0.03), fish and seafood (0.37 [0.17; 0.89] vs 0.27 [0.13; 0.51] times a day, p=0.01) in T2DM+ group. It was found that in patients with T2DM the intake of calories and the following nutrients from meat and meat products was more, then without: energy (289.6 [174.9; 420.3] vs 191.9 [148.2; 336.5] kcal/day, p=0.006), proteins (25.8 [17.2; 36.5] vs 18.6 [12.6; 29.6] g/day, p=0.008) and fats (18.9 [10.8; 31.4] g/day vs 13.7 [10.3; 23.6] g/day, p=0.01). Similar data was obtained for fish and seafood, with energy (59.7 [28.3; 117.3] vs 45.2 [20.5; 70.1] kcal/day, p=0.03), proteins (8.1 [6.9; 16.8] vs 6.3 [6.7; 10.2] g/day, p=0.02) and fats (3.0 [1.5; 6.4] vs 1.9 [0.9; 3.8] g/day, p=0.01) consumed more in T2DM+ group. &lt;b&gt;Conclusion&lt;/b&gt;. In the traditional analysis of actual nutrition in NAFLD patients with and without T2DM, no significant differences were found. However, the structure of the patients' diet differs significantly due to meat and meat products, fish and seafood. The identified differences may indicate the need to change dietary recommendations for patients with T2DM, and may also become the basis for the development of innovative food for special ","PeriodicalId":23652,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy pitaniia","volume":"93 4","pages":"92-103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142476055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
