Antioxidant Activity and Inhibition of Carbohydrate Hydrolyzing Enzymes by Underutilized Parts From Some Plant‐Based Foods and Their Effect on Postprandial Hyperglycemia

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The underutilized parts viz: pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels showed promising antioxidant and inhibition of α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase activities (IC50 values ≤ 100 μg/mL). Similarly, pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels reduced postprandial hyperglycemia in sucrose‐ and maltose‐induced hyperglycemia in rats.

Identification and Characterisation of a Pectinolytic Enzyme from Paenibacillus xylanolyticus

BioResources, 2014
Pectinolytic enzymes play an important role in the processing of lignocellulosic materials because of their ability to improve the access of cellulases to their substrate by removing pectins. The strain Paenibacillus xylanolyticus 2-6L3 was isolated from

Synergistic Effect of Hesperidin, Acarbose, and Exercise Combination on Neuroinflammation and Neurochemical Alterations in Diabetic Encephalopathy Rat Model

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Diabetic encephalopathy (DME) impairs neurobehavior, neurochemicals, oxidative stress, and inflammation. This study evaluated the effects of hesperidin (HSP), exercise (EX), and acarbose (ACA) alone or combined on diabetic rats. Treatments reduced AChE, BChE, ACE, arginase, ATPDase, 5′‐nucleotidase, ADA, LDH, TBARS, and ROS, while increasing IL‐10, SOD,

Mechanisms of Light-induced Off-flavor Formation Sensitized by Chlorophylls and pH in Citrus Juice

Nippon Shokuhin Kagaku Kogaku Kaishi, 2009
レモンやカボスなどの香酸柑橘果汁飲料において生じた急速に進行する光劣化異臭の生成機構を解明するため試験を行った．クロロフィル類の存在により光劣化異臭の生成が促進されたことより，クロロフィルが光増感物質として促進作用を示していることが分かった．クロロフィルの光増感作用は濃度依存性があり，柑橘果汁中にサブppmオーダーでも存在すると光劣化異臭生成リスクが高まると考えられた．酸性条件下でpHの影響を調べたところ，クロロフィルの光増感作用はpH依存性があり，強酸性領域でクロロフィルの光増感作用は強くなり，弱酸性領域では光増感作用は非常に弱いことを示した．以上のことから，柑橘果汁製品に透明容器を使用する場合クロロフィルの混入をできるだけ避けることが望ましく ...

Functional Bread From Bambara Groundnut and Orange Peel Attenuates Hyperglycemia and Oxidative Stress in a High‐Fat Diet/Streptozotocin‐Induced Type 2 Diabetes Rat Model

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This study evaluated Bambara groundnut–wheat composite bread fortified with orange peel in diabetic rats. Diets significantly lowered blood glucose, inhibited α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, and boosted antioxidant enzymes compared to controls. Results emphasize BG‐based functional foods' potential to help manage type 2 diabetes through regulation of ...

Beeswax: Food and beyond

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.
