Zhu, Jiangxiong published the artcileComparative analysis of existence form for selenium and structural characteristics in artificial selenium-enriched and synthetic selenized green tea polysaccharides, Name: (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal, the main research area is artificial selenium enriched green tea polysaccharide; Artificial selenium-enriched tea polysaccharides; Structure characteristics; The form with selenium.

This study aimed to investigate the activity, structural characterization and present forms of selenium in two different artificial selenium-enriched tea polysaccharides (Se-TPS). The physicochem. anal. showed that both CSe-tps1 and ASe-tps1 were acidic heteropolysaccharides with different monosaccharide composition, molar ratio, and selenium content. Structural investigations including FT-IR, Raman spectra and 1D, 2D NMR anal. revealed that selenium in CSe-tps1 replaced the hydroxyl group at the C-6 position in the polysaccharide with the form of selenyl ester, while most of the selenium in ASe-tps1 replaced the hydroxyl group at the C-1 and C-6 position in the form of the Se-H bond on the branch of the polysaccharide. Besides, a series of studies on the structural characteristics of the Congo red test, I2-KI reaction, FESEM, DSC, and XRD anal. showed that the two artificial Se-TPSs had a triple helix structure and more branches. However, there were significant differences in crystal morphol., apparent morphol., heat release ability, and the α-glucosidase inhibition activity. These results indicated that the difference in artificial selenization methods not only made the polysaccharide exhibit different structural characteristics and the hypoglycemic activity, but also had a significant effect on the form of selenium in polysaccharides.

Rys, Magdalena published the artcileBio-Herbicidal Potential of Nanoemulsions with Peppermint Oil on Barnyard Grass and Maize, HPLC of Formula: 124-76-5, the main research area is peppermint oil barnyard grass maize bioherbicidal nanoemulsions; Chlorophyll a fluorescence; Eco-Polysorbate 80; FT-Raman spectroscopy; isothermal calorimetry; phytotoxicity; polydispersity index; relative water content.

Bio-based nanoemulsions are part of green pest management for sustainable agriculture. This study assessed the physicochem. properties and the herbicidal activities of the peppermint essential oil nanoemulsions (PNs) in concentrations 1.0-10% stabilized by Eco-Polysorbate 80 on germinating seeds and young plants of maize and barnyard grass. Based on the design of experiment (DOE) results, the final nanoemulsion formulations were obtained with 1, 1.5, 2, and 5% of essential oil concentration Biol. analyses were conducted to select the most promising sample for selective control of barnyard grass in maize. Seedlings growing in the presence of PNs displayed an overall inhibition of metabolism, as expressed by the calorimetric analyses, which could result from significant differences in both content and composition of carbohydrates. Concentration-response sub estimation showed that leaf-sprayed concentration of PN causing 10% of maize damage is equal to 2.2%, whereas doses causing 50% and 90% of barnyard grass damage are 1.1% and 1.7%, resp. Plants sprayed with PN at 5% or 10% concentration caused significant drops in relative water content in leaves and Chlorophyll a fluorescence 72 h after spraying. In summary, peppermint nanoemulsion with Eco-Polysorbate 80 at 2% concentration is a perspective preparation for selective control of barnyard grass in maize. It should be analyzed further in controlled and field conditions.

Eizauskaite, Ugne published the artcileNatural ingredients-based gummy bear composition designed according to texture analysis and sensory evaluation in vivo, Name: (S)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid, the main research area is natural ingredient gummy bear composition texture analysis sensory property; chewable dosage form; experimental design; gelatin; gummy bear.

The increased interest in functional materials of natural origin has resulted in a higher market demand for preservative-free, “”clean label””, or natural ingredients-based products. The gummy bear food supplements are more acceptable to consumers and have fewer limitations compared to other dosage forms. The aim of our study was to produce natural ingredients-based gummy bear composition, and evaluate the influence of the selected ingredients on the product’s textural properties, its acceptance in vivo, and the gummy bear’s quality. The optimal base composition was determined using a surface response design: gelatin 4.3 g and agave syrup 6.3 g. The investigated sweeteners did not affect the textural properties (p > 0.05). However, further studies demonstrated that a 100% increase of agave results in up to 27% higher flexibility (p < 0.05). The addition of calcium and cholecalciferol reduced firmness by 59.59 ± 1.45% (p < 0.05). On the other hand, acai berry extract had no significant effect. The presence of calcium resulted in a decreased smell and taste; however, the data indicated that exptl. texture anal. is a more accurate technique than in vivo evaluation. The acai berry extract did not improve all of the tested sensory properties. We can conclude that the suggested gummy bear base can be supplemented with various active ingredients and commercialized, though further studies are needed to investigate the other natural sources to mask the unpleasant taste of active ingredients and avoid water loss.

Liu, Yantao published the artcilePhysicochemical characterization of galactomannans extracted from seeds of Gleditsia sinensis Lam and fenugreek. Comparison with commercial guar gum, Product Details of C6H12O6, the main research area is Gleditsia seed guar gum galactomannan galactose physicochem property; Galactomannan; Intermolecular entanglement; Intrinsic viscosity; Rheological behavior; Solubility.

Gleditsia sinensis, fenugreek and guar galactomannans (referred to as GSG, FG, and GG) were extracted from their gums and investigated using various techniques. Mannose to galactose ratios were 3.55, 1.11, and 1.65, resp. The intrinsic viscosity of GSG was very close to that of GG, while that of FG was the lowest one. This was attributed to the influence of high galactose substitution of FG on the mannan backbone, which induced a lower chain dimension due to intermol. entanglement. High degrees of substitution and high temperatures contributed to improving the solubility of galactomannan. Rheol. behavior indicated that GG had the highest apparent viscosity, yet the power-law model could well-fitted the flow curves of GSG and FG, but not GG. Through morphol. observations, the extracted galactomannans exhibited rod-like structure in deionized water and showed fibrous filament network structure after dehydration by freeze-drying. The thermal behavior was greatly influenced by the degree of side groups and Mw of galactomannans.

Lima, Valeria F. published the artcileThe sucrose-to-malate ratio correlates with the faster CO2 and light stomatal responses of angiosperms compared to ferns, Product Details of C4H6O5, the main research area is Microsorum Phlebodium Vigna Nicotiana sucrose maltose light stomata; angiosperms; ferns; stomata; stomata evolution; stomatal movement regulation.

Stomatal responses to environmental signals differ substantially between ferns and angiosperms. However, the mechanisms that lead to such different responses remain unclear. Here we investigated the extent to which leaf metabolism contributes to coordinate the differential stomatal behavior among ferns and angiosperms. Stomata from all species were responsive to light and CO2 transitions. However, fern stomatal responses were slower and minor in both absolute and relative terms. Angiosperms have higher stomatal d., but this is not correlated with speed of stomatal closure. The metabolic responses throughout the diel course and under different CO2 conditions differ substantially among ferns and angiosperms. Higher sucrose content and an increased sucrose-to-malate ratio during high CO2-induced stomatal closure was observed in angiosperms compared to ferns. Furthermore, the speed of stomatal closure was pos. and neg. correlated with sugars and organic acids, resp., suggesting that the balance between sugars and organic acids aids in explaining the faster stomatal responses of angiosperms. Our results suggest that mesophyll-derived metabolic signals, especially those associated with sucrose and malate, may also be important to modulate the differential stomatal behavior between ferns and angiosperms, providing important new information that helps in understanding the metabolism-mediated mechanisms regulating stomatal movements across land plant evolution.

Cheng, Hang published the artcileNaked mole-rat skeletal muscle mitochondria exhibit minimal functional plasticity in acute or chronic hypoxia, Formula: C4H6O5, the main research area is skeletal muscle mitochondria plasticity chronic hypoxia; Electron transport system; High resolution respirometry; Oxidative phosphorylation; Reactive oxygen species; Succinate.

Oxidative phosphorylation is compromised in hypoxia, but many organisms live and exercise in low oxygen environments. Hypoxia-driven adaptations at the mitochondrial level are common and may enhance energetic efficiency or minimize deleterious reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Mitochondria from various hypoxia-tolerant animals exhibit robust functional changes following in vivo hypoxia and we hypothesized that similar plasticity would occur in naked mole-rat skeletal muscle. To test this, we exposed adult subordinate naked mole-rats to normoxia (21% O2) or acute (4 h, 7% O2) or chronic hypoxia (4-6 wk, 11% O2) and then isolated skeletal muscle mitochondria. Using high-resolution respirometry and a fluorescent indicator of ROS production, we then probed for changes in: (i) lipid- (palmitoylcarnitine-malate), (ii) carbohydrate- (pyruvate-malate), and (iii) succinate-fueled metabolism, and also (iv) complex IV electron transfer capacity, and (v) H2O2 production Compared to normoxic values, (a) lipid-fueled uncoupled respiration was reduced ∼15% during acute and chronic hypoxia, (b) complex I-II capacity and the rate of ROS efflux were both unaffected, and (c) complex II and IV uncoupled respiration were suppressed ∼16% following acute hypoxia. Notably, complex II-linked H2O2 efflux was 33% lower after acute hypoxia, which may reduce deleterious ROS bursts during reoxygenation. These mild changes in lipid- and carbohydrate-fueled respiratory capacity may reflect the need for this animal to exercise regularly in highly variable and intermittently hypoxic environments in which more robust plasticity may be energetically expensive.

dos Santos, Martielly S. published the artcileSilicon alleviates the impairments of iron toxicity on the rice photosynthetic performance via alterations in leaf diffusive conductance with minimal impacts on carbon metabolism, Recommanded Product: (S)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid, the main research area is Oryza leaf diffusive conductance photosynthesis carbon iron toxicity silicon; Iron toxicity; Oryza sativa; Silicon; photosynthesis.

Iron (Fe) toxicity is often observed in lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants, disrupting cell homeostasis and impairing growth and crop yields. Silicon (Si) can mitigate the effects of Fe excess on rice by decreasing tissue Fe concentrations, but no information exists whether Si could prevent the harmful effects of Fe toxicity on the photosynthesis and carbon metabolism Two rice cultivars with contrasting abilities to tolerate Fe excess were hydroponically grown under two Fe levels (25μ M or 5 mM) and amended or not with Si (0 or 2 mM). Fe toxicity caused decreases in net photosynthetic rate (A), particularly in the sensitive cultivar. These decreases were correlated with reductions in stomatal (gs) and mesophyll (gm) conductances, as well as with increasing photorespiration. Photochem. (e.g. electron transport rate) and biochem. (e.g., maximum RuBisCO carboxylation capacity and RuBisCO activity) parameters of photosynthesis, and activities of a range of carbon metabolism enzymes, were minimally, if at all, affected by the treatments. Si attenuated the decreases in A by presumably reducing the Fe content. In fact, A as well as gs and gm, correlated significantly with leaf Fe contents. In summary, our data suggest a remarkable metabolic homeostasis under Fe toxicity, and that Si attenuated the impairments of Fe excess on the photosynthetic apparatus by affecting the leaf diffusive conductance with minimal impacts on carbon metabolism

Martinelli, F. published the artcileMetabolic profiling of ripe olive fruit in response to moderate water stress, Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks, the main research area is Olea fruit water stress metabolomics.

The concentrations of different metabolites in olive (Olea europaea (L.)) fruit at harvest can be affected by water availability, with significant consequences on the composition and the quality of the resulting oil. The aim of the present study was to profile the metabolic composition of ripe olives (cv. Cipressino) grown under water-stress and irrigated conditions applied during the last part of the fruit developmental cycle (from pit hardening to com. harvest). The imposed conditions resulted in a moderate water stress (-3.5 MPa) at the end of the exptl. period. Samples (pulp + skin) of fruit collected at the stage of complete epicarp pigmentation were analyzed by means of GC-MS. In total, 176 metabolites were detected, of which 57 were identified. Principal component anal. (PCA) of stress and non-stress treatments resulted in clearly separated profiles with the first principal component (PC1) mostly correlated with the organic acid content. Of the 57 compounds identified, 19 metabolites (organic acids, fatty acids, soluble sugars, and terpens) accumulated differently in the two sets of samples. A reduction in soluble sugars and unsaturated fatty acids was detected in water stressed samples, suggesting an acceleration of the ripening process. These results highlighted the validity of metabolic profiling to study the effects of water stress in terms of both fruit composition and physiol.

Yu, Yongyi published the artcileChemistry and immunostimulatory activity of a polysaccharide from Undaria pinnatifida, Related Products of alcohols-buliding-blocks, the main research area is Undaria UPP2 monosaccharide cytokine cell proliferation immunostimulatory; Immunomodulatory activity; Polysaccharide; RAW264.7 cell; Structure; Undaria pinnatifida.

An immunol. active polysaccharide named as UPP-2 (1035.52 kDa) was isolated from Undaria pinnatifida using traditional water extraction followed by DEAE Sepharose fast flow chromatog. UPP-2 was proven to be a low sulfated polysaccharide with relatively abundant uronic acid (13.08 ± 0.67%). UPP-2 mainly consisted of xylose (64.55%), glucose (23.81%), arabinose (5.90%) and mannose (4.26%), and its main glycosidic linkage types included →2-α-D-Xylp-(1→, →4)-α-D-Glcp-1→, α-D-Xylp-(1→ and →2,4)-β-D-Xylp-1→. Results indicated that UPP-2 significantly promoted the proliferation and pinocytic capacity of RAW264.7 cells, and upregulated the mRNA expressions of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β at 100-600μg/mL with a maximum of 195, 42, 768, and 539 times those of the neg. control, resp. Moreover, UPP-2 significantly increased the secretions of nitric oxide, TNF-α and IL-6 at 100-600μg/mL (8.0, 73.1, and 188.7 times compared to those of the neg. control, resp.), as well as promoted the production of IL-1β obviously at 600μg/mL. Overall, UPP-2 could be served as a potential dietary supplement or functional food based on its immunostimulatory activity.

Uddin Pk, Moyen Md. published the artcileOptimization of extraction of antioxidant polysaccharide from Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm and its cytotoxic activity against murine lymphoid cancer cell line, Recommanded Product: (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal, the main research area is Pleurotus polysaccharide antioxidant cytotoxicity lymphoid cancer cell.

The purpose of this study was to optimize the extraction method for polysaccharide from the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P.Kumm and to assess the antioxidant and cytotoxic potentials of polysaccharide. In this investigation, polysaccharides from Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P.Kumm were extricated by utilizing the hot water. One-single factor and response surface methodol. was established to optimize the extraction conditions for polysaccharide from Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P.Kumm. Examination of antioxidant activity of Pleurotus ostreatus polysaccharide (POP) was directed by utilizing 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2, 2-azino-bis-3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) techniques. Cytotoxicity of POP was evaluated using an MTT assay. The exptl. data were fitted to a quadratic equation utilizing multiple regression investigations, and the ideal conditions were as per the following: water/crude material proportion, 26.04 mL/g; an extraction time of 62.08 min; and an extraction temperature 70.5°C. Under such conditions, the polysaccharide yield was 5.32 ± 0.12% with the anticipated yield. POP showed good scavenging activity against DPPH radical (p<0.001, EC50 = 1036.38 μg/mL, R2 = 0.8313) and ABTS radicals (p<0.001, EC50 = 824.37 μg/mL, R2 = 0.8223), with a dose (p<0.001)-and-time (p<0.001) dependent cytotoxic potential on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cell line in vitro. This demonstrated that polysaccharides (POP) had certain cancer prevention agent exercises. In this manner, these examinations give reference to addnl. research and reasonable improvement of Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm polysaccharide and POP may prove a useful therapeutic agent, due to its robust antioxidant and cytotoxic activity.
