Abstract Unsaturated triacylglycerols (TAGs) are stored in natural droplets called oleosomes in seeds. The storage in oleosomes was suggested to increase TAGs' oxidative stability. In this study, we tested the oxidative stability of TAGs in rapeseed oleosomes and compared it with the one of TAGs stored as bulk oils or incorporated into oil‐in‐water emulsions stabilized by rapeseed lecithin. Oleosome oil‐in‐water emulsions (Ф oil = 0.1) were created and stored along with the bulk oils and lecithi
In this study, cladodes of <i>Opuntia ficus indica</i> (OFIC), chemically modified with NaOH (OFICM), have been prepared, characterized, and tested as an effective biomass to remove Pb(II) and/or Cd(II) from aqueous media. At an optimum pH of 4.5, the adsorption capacity, q<sub>e</sub>, of treated OFICM was almost four times higher than that of untreated OFIC. The maximum adsorption capacities (q<sub>max</sub>) in the single removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) were 116.8 and 64.7 mg g<sup>-1</sup>, res

The aim of this paper was to determine the emulsification properties of protein aggregates obtained from heat pretreated yellow field pea protein concentrate (PPC). PPC dispersions were prepared in distilled water (adjusted to pH 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, or 9.0), heated in a water bath (100 °C) for 30 min, centrifuged and the supernatant passed first through a 30 kDa membrane and, then, the first retentate (>30 kDa) through a 50 kDa membrane. The 50 kDa membrane separation yielded a second retentate (>50

Abstract Due to considerable losses in the agricultural sector, phytopathogenic viruses are of significant economic importance. Several phytopathogenic viruses have been detected in water bodies. These can be transmitted to their hosts through water contact. However, relatively few studies concentrate on the presence and impact of plant‐infecting viruses in water environments. In the present study, we used a metagenomic approach to determine viral phytopathogen diversity in wastewater, freshwate
In this study, phenolic compounds of Kahramanmaraş red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seeds which are waste products from red pepper processing line were extracted by ultrasound-assisted (UAE) and conventional solvent extraction (SE) methods. Two different extraction methods were evaluated in terms of total phenolic contents (TPC) and antioxidant capacity. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize UAE conditions of phenolic extracts including extraction temperature (40, 50 and 60 °C),
Eczema (atopic dermatitis, AD) is a skin disease characterized by skin barrier dysfunction due to various factors, including genetics, immune system abnormalities, and environmental triggers. Application of emollients and topical drugs such as corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors form the mainstay of treatments for this challenging condition. This review aims to summarize the recent advances made in phytochemical-based topical applications to treat AD and the different carriers that are be
The herbal preparation ayahuasca has been an important part of ritual and healing practices, deployed to access invisible worlds in several indigenous groups in the Amazon basin and among <i>mestizo</i> populations of South America. The preparation is usually known to be composed of two main plants, <i>Banisteriopsis caapi</i> and <i>Psychotria viridis</i>, which produce both hallucinogenic and potent purging and emetic effects; currently, these are considered its major pharmacological activitie
IAHA injections are a valuable treatment option for KOA while they can provide pain relief, improve joint function, and slow the progression of joint degeneration. The inhibitory effect of HA on MMP13 and its action as a senomorphic agent suggests that it may have additional benefits beyond its lubricating and shock-absorbing properties. In order to clarify its mechanisms of action and to optimize its clinical use, further studies are definitely needed.
Abstract The potential of enzymatic modification procedures was studied to adjust pulp properties for Lyocell process applications. Cellulases with well-defined activity compositions were identified and tested for pulp treatment. The changes of the pulp properties by such biotechnological modification were investigated especially concerning the resulting average degrees of polymerisation (DP) and the molecular weight distributions (MWD). Several industrial cellulases catalysed endo-splitting on

The assembly of colloidal hyaluronic acid (HyA, as a polysaccharide) based hydrogel particles in an aqueous medium is characterized in the present paper, with an emphasis on the particular case of nanohydrogels formed by surfactant-neutralized polysaccharide networks. The structural changes and particle formation process of polysaccharide- and cationic-surfactant-containing systems were induced by the charge neutralization ability and the hydrophobic interactions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromid
Pancreatic lipase serves as a primary trigger for hyperlipidemia and is also a crucial target in the inhibition of hypercholesterolemia. By synthesizing anti-hypercholesterolemic drugs such as atorvastatin, which are used to treat hypercholesterolemia, there were some side effects associated with the long-term use of statins. Based on this idea, in the present study, we identified peptides that inhibited PL by virtual screening and in vitro activity assays. In addition, to delve into the underly

Betulinic acid (BA) has anti-inflammatory, antioxidative stress, and antitumor activities, but BA bioavailability is low due to its poor water solubility and short half-life. This study aimed to construct a BA delivery system to improve its utilization in vitro. Glycosylated zein (G-zein) was prepared using the wet heating method, and BA-loaded zein composite nanoparticles were prepared using the antisolvent method. Compared to zein, G-zein had the advantages of higher solubility and lower surfa
<b>The Background:</b> Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, and the inflammatory mechanism plays a crucial role in stroke-related brain injury and post-ischemic tissue damage. Xiaoxuming decoction (XXMD) is the first prescription for the treatment of "zhongfeng" (a broad concept referring to stroke) in the Tang and Song Dynasties of China and has a significant position in the history of stroke treatment. Through the study of ancient medical records and modern clinical
In this research, we describe the dicamba resistance mechanism in the only case of dicamba-resistant C. album reported to date. Prior work has shown that the dicamba resistance allele confers significant growth defects to the R phenotype investigated here, suggesting that dicamba-resistant C. album carrying this novel mutation in the IAA16 gene may not persist at high frequencies upon removal of dicamba application. © 2024 The Authors.

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the best parameters of particleboard manufacturing throughout the physical and mechanical properties’ test under Japanese Industrial Standard. Particleboard panels were manufactured from veneer waste of sengon wood ( Paraserianthes moluccana ) bonded with dextrin-based adhesives (DAs) and urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesives at the density target of 0.70 g/cm 2 under various manufacturing parameters of adhesives composition, load pressure and pres
How to achieve stable co-delivery of multiple phytochemicals is a common problem. This study focuses on the development, optimization and characterization of Huanglian-HouPo extract nanoemulsion (HLHPEN), with multiple components co-delivery, to enhance the anti-ulcerative colitis (UC) effects. The formulation of HLHPEN was optimized by pseudo-ternary phase diagram combined with Box-Behnken design. The physicochemical properties of HLHPEN were characterized, and its anti-UC activity was evaluate
Treatment of wastewaters containing hazardous substances such as dyes from the textile, paper, plastic and food industries is of great importance. Efficient technique for the removal of highly toxic organic dyes is adsorption. In this paper, adsorptive properties of the carbon-silica composite (C/SiO<sub>2</sub>) were evaluated for the cationic dyes C.I. Basic Blue 3 (BB3) and C.I. Basic Yellow 2 (BY2). The sorption capacities were determined as a function of temperature (924.6-1295.9 mg/g for B
