This study was aimed at processing rabbit meat into frankfurter-type sausages to help diversify its use and improve its economic value. The sausages were made with RM and substitutions of Refined Palm Stearin (RPS) at 0, 10, 20, and 30% respectively. Beef and lard were used to produce sausages to serve as control. Moisture, ash, fat, protein and mineral contents (Ca, Na and Fe) as well as pH and percentage cooking loss of the sausages were determined. Sensory evaluation of the products revealed that, the control sausages had significantly higher overall acceptability (p<0.05) compared to the RM sausages. However, no significant differences (p>0.05) were observed among the 4 formulations of RM:RPS sausages in terms of overall acceptability. There were significant differences (p<0.05) in the moisture, protein and fat contents between the control sausages (50.70%, 25.22% and 21.90%, respectively), the 100:0 (62.52%, 28.69% and 5.68% respectively), 90:10 (63.15%, 23.73% and 8.77%, respectively), 80:20 (60.52%, 22.47% and 12.54% respectively) and 70:30 (57.17%, 21.13% and 16.79% respectively). Rabbit meat sausages produced with RPS had acceptable sensory attributes, higher protein and lower fat contents than sausages produced with beef and lard.","PeriodicalId":269546,"journal":{"name":"SDRP Journal of Food Science & Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122629690","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}

Methods: Anti-inflammatory mechanism of piperine in Ac2F cells were examined by performing western blotting. Results: The piperine exhibited remarkable reduction of intracellular reactive species (RS) levels in t-BHPand SIN-1-induced Ac2F cells. In addition, piperine inhibited t-BHP-induced activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) by suppressing the degradation of inhibitor-κB proteins (IκBα) and translocation of p65 from the cytosol to the nucleus, further indicating piperine’s inhibitory effects on nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxyganse-2 (COX-2) expressions. As a consequence, piperine modulated through inhibition of ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPKs signal transduction pathway in cells. Moreover, piperine pretreatment also regulated the protein expression of antioxidant enzymes such as manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and catalase. Conclusion: These results indicated that piperine, a major component of black pepper might be a potential antiinflammatory agent by modulating RS-induced NF-κB activation through the MAPKs signaling pathway and possess the anti-oxidative property. Therefore piperine can be considered as a useful therapeutic and preventive approach for the treatment of inflammation and oxidative stress-related diseases.","PeriodicalId":269546,"journal":{"name":"SDRP Journal of Food Science & Technology","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132963041","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 diagnostic performance of the assay was evaluated with a total of 184 serum samples from clinically diagnosed patients with eosinophilic meningitis due to A. cantinensis infection (n=98), and individuals at risk of infection with no evidence of eosinophilic meningitis (n=86). The serological AcQuick results were then compared with previous performance results based on dot-immunogold filtration assay (Ac-DIGFA) and dot-blot enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (dot-blot ELISA) to determine its validity. The overall positivity rate of AcQuick in 98 clinically diagnosed cases from three highly endemic districts in Khon Kaen province was 39.79%. Among the 86 sera of subjects at risk of infection with A. cantonensis, 24.41% were positive by AcQuick. The positivity rates were comparable with the results obtained previously in both groups of defined serum samples: Ac-DIFGA, 39.79% and 24.41% respectively; and dot-ELISA, 37.75% and 23.25% respectively. This study demonstrated that AcQuick is equally sensitive and specific as Ac-DIGFA and dot-blot ELISA for clinically confirmed eosinophilic meningitis caused by A. cantonensis infection. In addition to rapidity and ease of performance, the dry-format lateral flow assay in AcQuick Test allows shipment and storage without requiring a cold chain and is thus more suitable for use in remote and resource-limited settings.","PeriodicalId":269546,"journal":{"name":"SDRP Journal of Food Science & Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128586719","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}

Cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) is herein assembled as a host framework to accommodate APIs (tryptophan, phenylalanine biapenem, and diclofenac sodium) in aqueous solution under room temperature to enhance their stability in the gastric acid and realize sustained release in the intestinal tract. Host-guest interactions were investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy while crystal structures of the supramolecular assembly were determined by single-crystal x-ray analysis, which reveals that both the CB[8] framework crystals and the API@CB[8] cocrystals belong to a monoclinic crystal system. With their aromatic rings folded inside the macrocyclic cavity of CB[8] and their alkyl chains stretching outside to interreact with the carbonyl portals of CB [8] through ion-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding, both hydrophic and hydrophobic APIs were readily encapsulated inside the supramolecular framework. In comparison to API in its free form, an accelerated dissolution kinetic of the API@CB[8] cocrystals was observed at intestinal pH (6.8), which otherwise demonstrated a lower dissolution profile at gastric pH (1.5).
