From waste to resource: Garlic peel‐derived proteases (Allium sativum) for nematode control

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aimed to prepare a protease‐rich extract from garlic peel (Allium sativum) and evaluate its nematicidal potential. The garlic peel was crushed, suspended in distilled water, and the obtained extract was subjected to filtration, centrifugation, and dialysis to concentrate the proteases. The nematicidal activity was tested in vitro on

Maternal Isoflavone‐S Improve Offspring Intestinal Homeostasis Through Maternal Metabolome–Microbiome Intestine Interactions in a Pig Model

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
Our results indicate that maternal ISO‐S during late gestation and throughout lactation can improve offspring intestinal homeostasis, which may be related to antioxidant enzymes and immunoglobulins in sow colostrum through maternal metabolome–microbiome intestine interactions.
