Computer‐Aided Functional Oligosaccharide Screening and the Regulatory Role in Lipid Metabolism

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the lipid‐lowering effects and intervention mechanisms of structurally diverse functional oligosaccharides on non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). By integrating computational tools such as molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations (MDS), a comprehensive “in silico‐in vitro‐in vivo” tri‐dimensional ...

Chemistry Composition and Bioaccessibility Study of Phenolic Compounds and Carotenoids of New Brazilian Biofortified Sweet Potato “CIP BRS Nuti”

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Phenolic compounds of sweet potato CIP BRS Nuti were evaluated for the first time. Catechin, epicatechin, and procyanidin B1 exhibited high bioaccessibility. ABSTRACT Sweet potatoes biofortified in carotenoids have been an alternative to combat malnutrition in vulnerable populations. This work is the first comprehensive study of the bioactive potential

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.

Aloe vera Tannin Ameliorates Fructose‐Induced Dyslipidaemia and Oxidative Stress in Wistar Rats

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Aloe vera tannin (AVT) significantly enhances liver reduced glutathione and superoxide dismutase activities in rats. Fructose consumption creates dyslipidaemia in rats by significantly increasing serum cholesterol and LDL levels. AVT prevented fructose‐induced dyslipidaemia in rats by controlling the lipid profile. AVT did not affect liver, hippocampus

Phenolic Profiles, Antioxidant Properties and Predicted Glycaemic Index of Bread Sweetened With Date Syrup in Comparison With Granulated Sugar

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Date syrup are used as sweetener in bread. Bread with date syrup had superior phenolic composition, better antioxidant properties and carbohydrate hydrolysing enzymes while bread with granulated sugar had higher predicted glyceamic index. The study concluded that date syrup could be the next though‐out ingredient for dual purpose in bread. ABSTRACT The

Evaluation of Agave angustifolia as a Sustainable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides: Phytochemical Composition and Multi‐Trophic Bioactivity

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
The pesticidal potential of Agave angustifolia by assessing its anti‐nematic, antimicrobial, and insecticidal activities, alongside phytochemical profiling. ABSTRACT Plant diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and viruses contribute significantly to annual crop losses and economic hardship. Reliance on chemical pesticides, over a thousand used

Oleoylethanolamide regulates intestinal stem cell activity and villus size via PPARα signaling pathway

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
First use of a natural swine model with lipid metabolism to directly link lipid differences to a quantifiable intestinal villus height phenotype. Identified the phospholipid‐derived oleoylethanolamide, rather than canonical fatty acids, as the endogenous primary ligand that activates peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors α (PPARα) to enlarge ...

Host‐driven hepatic conversion of gut microbiota‐derived putrescine to spermidine mediates mannose's protective effects against hepatic steatosis in zebrafish

iMeta, EarlyView.
Evidence for liver metabolism of gut‐derived microbial compounds into beneficial secondary metabolites has been lacking. Here, we demonstrate that Cetobacterium somerae (C. somerae), enriched by mannose supplementation under high‐fat diet conditions, convert arginine into putrescine.
