The physicochemical properties like Moisture and ash content, water holding capacity, water absorption index, amylose content, light transmittance and structural morphology of starch granules. Anti-inflammatory activity of starch from <em>M. arundinacea</em> L. was evaluated in Wistar rats by carrageenan induced paw edema. The biochemical estimation of serum enzymes, lipid peroxidation, enzymatic antioxidants and histopathological studies of paw tissues were carried out in paw tissues. Molecular expression of proinflammatory COX-2 gene was also analyzed. <em>M. arundinacea</em> starch was found to contain 9.3% moisture, 1.36% ash and 26.3% amylose content. The light transmittance (%) decreased with an increase in time. Micrographs of SEM analysis showed variations in the shape of granules that appeared as spherical and irregular. The size of granules varied between 2.86 and 6.92 μm. Attenuation in paw edema on treatment with <em>M. arundinacea</em> L. starch (200 mg/kg) was observed in comparison with that of standard drug Diclofenac sodium, the serum enzymes and enzymatic antioxidants were brought to near normal.

At the first stage, it was established that glucan does not have the ability to inhibit the accumulation of Cholesterol in the macrophages caused by the action of modified low-density lipoproteins (mLDL) on them. However, glucan accelerates the efflux of Cholesterol from the macrophages loaded with it, and this effect is commensurate with the action of verapamil and alpinetin. At the second stage of the work, transcriptomic analysis made it possible to detect differentially expressed genes by observing the effect of glucan on both accumulation and efflux of Cholesterol from the macrophages. In mLDL-induced Cholesterol accumulation, the presence of glucan in the cell model did not change the overall pattern of gene expression, at the same time, monitoring Cholesterol efflux revealed the ability of glucan to increase (LDLR, INSIG1, SCARB1, STARD3, ABCA1) or decrease (FADS1, SR-BI, DSC1) the expression of a set of genes different from the key Cholesterol accumulation genes. Evaluation of the biological activity of genes, associated with accumulation Cholesterol, indicates their role in immune and inflammatory processes, while genes with other functions, including genes known as regulators of Cholesterol metabolism, are involved to a greater extent in Сholesterol efflux under the action of glucan. A conclusion was made that in relation to the pathology of atherosclerosis, it is necessary to consider glucan not so much as a prophylactic, but as a therapeutic agent.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38299,"journal":{"name":"Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100430"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141482141","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 results showed that resistant starch type II had the highest diversity index, while banana inflorescence powder had the lowest diversity index of the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota profile exhibited that palm oil residue increased the abundance of Bacteroidetes from 23% to 44% and decreased the abundance of Firmicutes from 63% to 21%. This led to the lowest Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio of 0.5, followed by gnetum leaf powder (1.1), dragon fruit oligosaccharide (1.2), banana inflorescence powder (1.2), and resistance starch type II (1.6) compared to the initial fecal sample (F/B) ratio of 2.7. The isomaltooligosaccharide had an F/B ratio of 9.4. Palm oil residue could reduce the relative abundance of nucleotide biosynthesis, amino acid biosynthesis, aromatic compound synthesis, and peptidoglycan biosynthesis, all of which are related to obesity metabolic pathways. The short-chain fatty acids analysis showed that gnetum leaf powder and isomaltooligosaccharide exhibited the highest production of acetic acid (19.37 mM) and butyric acid (11.27 mM). Palm oil residue and gnetum leaf powder significantly impacted propionic acid production (10.93 and 10.08 mM, respectively). In the gut microbiota of obese humans, 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid derived from phenolic metabolites was detected during the fermentation of palm oil residue. In summary, our study demonstrated that plant polyphenols are more effective than indigestible carbohydrates, suggesting a novel alternative approach for the treatment of obesity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38299,"journal":{"name":"Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100443"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142117513","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 resulting chitosan showcased remarkable characteristics, including high solubility, a high degree of deacetylation, a well-defined crystalline structure, and a rough surface with minimal pores. The application of chitosan as a coating material for tomatoes demonstrated significant preservation benefits compared to commercially available chitosan. The chitosan coating proved effective in minimizing weight loss, reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and preserving essential compounds such as anthocyanin content and antioxidant enzymes in tomatoes. Firstly, the chitosan coating served as a physical barrier, preventing moisture loss and maintaining the tomatoes' structural integrity. Secondly, the antimicrobial properties of chitosan hindered the growth of spoilage-causing microorganisms, extending the shelf life of the tomatoes. Additionally, the chitosan coating exhibited antioxidant properties, scavenging ROS and preserving the natural antioxidants in tomatoes. Furthermore, the chitosan coating facilitated controlled gas exchange, allowing optimal levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide to maintain the freshness of the tomatoes without accelerating the ripening process. With the help of the above-mentioned mechanisms, the potential of the microbially synthesized chitosan to enhance the shelf life of the tomatoes can be explained which was found better than the commercially synthesized chitosan coating. This research underscores the potential of microbially synthesized chitosan as an effective coating material but also provides insights into the intricate mechanisms involved in preserving tomatoes.
