A Dietary Supplement Containing Nucleotides, Oligosaccharides, Vitamin E and β-Carotene Promotes Immune Response and Gut Microbiota Changes in Kittens

Animals
Kittens are born with some maternally derived antibodies (MDA) that, together with maternal gut microbiota, bring some form of early defense against pathogens.

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

A Dynamical Model for the Fermentative Production of Fructooligosaccharides [PDF]

, 2009
In this paper a detailed mathematical model is presented for the fermentative production of fructo-oligosaccharides with Aspergillus sp. The model accounts for hydrolysis and transfructolization reactions, as well as biomass formation and it contains 27 parameters that were determined from experimental data using a System Biology toolbox with the ...

Investigation of fructooligosaccharides prepared by partial hydrolysis of microbial levan

Fructans are a group of complex carbohydrates that exert microbiota-stimulating andimmunomodulating effects. The biological activity of fructans depends on their molecular weightsand linkage type.

The Impact of Glycation on Protein Digestibility

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of how protein glycation affects digestibility and downstream nutritional consequences. Glycation‐derived structural modifications reduce protease accessibility, leading to limited hydrolysis and altered peptide generation. These changes decrease amino acid bioavailability and may subsequently contribute to microbiome alterations ...

GH172 Difructose Dianhydride I Synthase: A Two‐Stepped Journey via Glycosylation and Cyclization Using QM/MM Metadynamics

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Unlocking the chemistry of caramel by simulations and experimental validation. αFFase1${\alpha }\rm{FFase1}$ converts inulobiose into difructose dianhydride I, one component of caramel, through two steps: a rate‐limiting glycosylation (with a rare sugar ring flip) followed by a cyclization step, guided by residues E85, K147, and N226.
