Technological Characteristics of Wheat-Fiber-Based Fat Mimetics in Combination with Food Additives
Sustainability, 2023 In addition to the fact that the “ideal” fat mimetic should have all functional characteristics of fat, it is preferable to be from natural sources. Dietary fibers from different natural sources have large potential for fat mimetic roles in low-energy ...

In Silico Screening for Pesticide Candidates against the Desert Locust Schistocerca gregaria
Life, 2022 Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is one of the most important metabolic neuropeptides in insects, with actions similar to glucagon in vertebrates. AKH regulates carbohydrate and fat metabolism by mobilizing trehalose and diacylglycerol into circulation from ...

Facile lipase-catalyzed synthesis of a chocolate fat mimetic [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractA cocoa butter equivalent (CBE) was synthesized enzymatically from readily available edible fats with fatty acid and triacylglycerol compositions that closely resemble the fat present in chocolate, cocoa butter. A commercially available immobilized fungal lipase, Lipozyme RM IM, was used as the reaction catalyst.

Coordinated balancing of muscle oxidative metabolism through PGC-1α increases metabolic flexibility and preserves insulin sensitivity [PDF]
, 2011 The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) enhances oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle. Excessive lipid oxidation and electron transport chain activity can, however, lead to the accumulation of harmful metabolites and ...
