In proteomic analysis, TMC altered the expression of ribosomal proteins, α/β isotypes of tubulins, protein disulphide isomerases (PDI) and heat shock proteins (HSP) in differentiated human neural cells. The natural palm phytonutrient TMC is a potent antioxidant with significant neuroprotective effects against free radical-induced oxidative stress.The effect of abiotic factors, such as weather and climate can alter the properties of vegetable oils. In this work, the effects of the refining process and pre-drying of Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds collected in the dry and rainy seasons (seasonality) were evaluated on the characteristics of the extracted oils. The refined and crude dry season oils had lower acidity and moisture content than the dry and raw rainy season oils. Oleic acid (C181) showed the highest concentration in the different Moringa oils studied. The results suggest that dry season oils are more suitable for application as feedstocks in the cosmetic, food, medicinal and pharmaceutical industries. Furthermore, refining proved to be efficient in removing free fatty acids and in lightening the oil.Legumes are global staple foods with multiple human health properties that merit detailed composition analysis in cooked forms. This study analyzed cowpea [Vigna unguiculata] (three varieties Dagbantuya, Sangyi, and Tukara), pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan], and common bean [Phaseolus vulgaris] using two distinct ultra-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) platforms and analytical workflows. Comparisons between cowpea and pigeon pea consumed in Ghana, and common bean (navy bean) from USA, revealed 75 metabolites that differentiated cowpeas. Metabolite fold-change comparisons resulted in 142 metabolites with significantly higher abundance in cowpea, and 154 higher in abundance from pigeon pea. 3-(all-trans-nonaprenyl)benzene-1,2-diol, N-tetracosanoylphytosphingosine, and sitoindoside II are novel identifications in cowpea, with notably higher abundance than other legumes tested. Cowpea variety specific markers were tonkinelin (Dagbantuya), pheophytin A (Sangyi), and linoleoyl ethanolamide (Tukara). This study identified novel cowpea and pigeon pea food metabolites that warrant continued investigation as bioactive food components following consumption in people.As per the report of the United Nations, half of the fruits and vegetables loses annually. Industries are trying to reduce the postharvest loss by using coatings. Wax coating is the most preferred way to preserve fruits and veggies. Sometimes wax is mixed with some chemical compounds that are known to be carcinogenic. Recently many edible films have been developed using natural polymers to enhance the shelf life of food. The edible films act as a barrier between the food and the external environment to prevent the direct interaction of food with atmospheric gases and microbes, which reduce the rate of respiration, keeping the food fresh for an extended period. But, the cost of edible biofilms is high and restricted at the industrial level; the local fruits and vegetable vendors are not able to buy such costly biofilms. We have developed the solution for dip-coating and nanofiber coating using a blend of silk fibroin, PVA, honey and curcumin, which is a cost-effective method for fruits and vegetable vendors. The material used for coating is FDA approved. The techniques utilized for synthesizing the biofilm are electrospinning and dip-coating. Coating found to increase the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables.Over the past decade, the gut microbiome has been linked to several diseases including gastrointestinal diseases, cancer, immune disorder and metabolic syndrome. Shifts in the gut bacterial population affect the overall metabolic health status leading towards obesity and Type II diabetes mellitus. Secondary metabolites secreted by the gut microbiome interact with various host-sensing signalling pathways and are responsible for functional modulation of immune resident cells in metabolic tissues (Blüher, 2019). Of these, short- chain fatty acids (SCFAs) i.e., acetate, propionate and butyrate have been significantly correlated with the disposition of diabetes and metabolic disorder. The altered gut microbial population depletes the intestinal barrier causing entry of LPS into circulation and towards metabolic tissues triggering pro-inflammatory responses. As butyrate has been known to maintain intestinal integrity, we aimed to assess the apparent effect of externally given sodium butyrate [NaB] on immuno-metabolan permeability assay further confirmed this enhanced intestinal barrier integrity. We assessed the quantitative and relative population of different types of resident immune cells from a stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissue. Flow cytometry studies revealed significantly increased M2 (CD206+ ) macrophages and Tregs (CD25+ ) relative to the M1 macrophage population and CD4+ T cells respectively in NaB treated mice, suggesting its potential role in alleviating the inflammatory profile. In a nutshell, taken together better glucose tolerance, better gut health, reduced inflammatory adipose tissue immune cells, suggest potential beneficial role of sodium butyrate in alleviating overall inflammation and metabolic dysfunction associated with obesity.The effects of dietary osmolytes for alleviating osmotic stress and enhancing growth are not well elucidated in fish reared in inland saline water. The present study evaluated the effects of dietary taurine or potassium (K+) individually or in combination on growth, ionic homeostasis, and stress response of GIFT tilapia reared in potassium deficient low saline water (PDLSW, 10 ppt salinity) mimicking inland saline water. Isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets supplemented with five potassium concentrations (0, 0.3, 0.45, 0.6 and 0.75 %), two taurine (T) concentrations (0.5 and 1.0 %) and two combinations of both (K+ 0.1 % + T 0.5 % and K+ 0.2 % + T 0.5 %) were fed to GIFT juveniles (4.4 ± 0.02 g body weight) and reared in PDLSW for 45 days. The fish fed on the diet fortifying with K+ 0.2 % + T 0.5 % showed the highest growth performance among the controls and other treatment groups. Dietary supplementation had no effects on PDLSW induced increase in osmoregulatory endpoints. The optimum dietary potassium requirement of GIFT reared in PDLSW was 0.57 and 0.599 g/100 g diet. Dietary K+ down-regulated the PDLSW induced expression of NKAa1, AQP1, and ClC2, whereas inhibited taurine-induced up-regulation of AQP1 and CLC2, which is the first report in tilapia. In addition, dietary K+ and taurine modulated antioxidant and metabolic enzyme activities for easing stress and balancing energy requirements. Thus, blending of potassium (0.2 %) and taurine (0.5 %) in the diet appears best to mitigate stress and enhance GIFT growth reared in inland saline water.The purpose of this work is the creation of a chemical database named ChemTastesDB that includes both organic and inorganic tastants. The creation, curation pipeline and the main features of the database are described in detail. The database includes 2944 verified and curated compounds divided into nine classes, which comprise the five basic tastes (sweet, bitter, umami sour and salty) along with four additional categories tasteless, non-sweet, multitaste and miscellaneous. ChemTastesDB provides the following information for each tastant name, PubChem CID, CAS registry number, canonical SMILES, class taste and references to the scientific sources from which data were retrieved. The molecular structure in the HyperChem (.hin) format of each chemical is also made available. In addition, molecular fingerprints were used for characterizing and analyzing the chemical space of tastants by means of unsupervised machine learning. ChemTastesDB constitutes a useful tool to the scientific community to expand the information of taste molecules and to assist in silico studies for the taste prediction of unevaluated and as yet unsynthetized compounds, as well as the analysis of the relationships between molecular structure and taste. The database is freely accessible at https//doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5747393.Aspergillus oryzae, a filamentous fungus, has long been used for the production of traditional Japanese foods. Here, we analyzed how A. oryzae administration affects the intestinal environment in mice. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the gut microbiota indicated that after the administration of heat-killed A. oryzae spores, the relative abundance of an anti-inflammatory Bifidobacterium pseudolongum strain became 2.0-fold greater than that of the control. Next, we examined the effect of A. Metabolism inhibitor oryzae spore administration on the development of colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate in mice; we found that colitis was alleviated by not only heat-killed A. oryzae spores, but also the cell wall extracted from the spores. Our findings suggest that A. oryzae holds considerable potential for commercial application in the production of both traditional Japanese fermented foods and new foods with prebiotic functions.Betalains are water-soluble nitrogenous pigments with coloring properties and antioxidant activities, which is why they have been incorporated into several foods. However, their use is limited by their instability in response to different factors, such as, pH, oxygen, water activity, light, metals, among others. In this work, a review of up-to-date and relevant information is presented on the primary natural sources of betalains. Additionally, the advantages and disadvantages of the primary betalain extraction techniques are discussed and compared. The results of these studies were focused on the stability of betalains when incorporated into foods, either in pure or encapsulated form, and they are discussed through different technologies. Lastly, the most relevant information related to their stability and a projection of their promising future applications within the food industry is presented.This study aimed to understand how temperatures differentially impact the crucial quality indices and metabolites in rambutan during storage. Rambutan browned quickly at room temperature from 0 d (control). After ten days at 5 ℃, browning index and lightness were 4.2% and 147.5%, compared with rambutan stored at 1 ℃, which was the best quality achieved. An UPLC-MS/MS was performed to uncover the metabolism underlying those quality differences, followed by the analysis of KEGG pathways. Results showed that 276 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) screened were enriched in 18 KEGG pathways. The pathways related to carbohydrates, aliphatic metabolites, and organic acids were highly active in rambutan stored at room temperature, whereas the pathways related to amino acids biosynthesis and nucleotides were highly active in rambutan stored at 1 ℃, 5 ℃. These findings indicated that increased scopoline was associated with serious browning at room temperature. L-leucine and L-isoleucine both increased in response to low temperature and reduced browning. Glutathione and ascorbate decreased to 4.89% and 4.36%, compared with 0 d (CK) in rambutan with severe browning stored at 1 ℃ for ten days. However, no significant changes in those two metabolites were observed in rambutan stored at optimal 5 °C for ten days. Thus glutathione and ascorbate could be used as potential indicators of browning degree. Our study provided a metabolic insight into the role of temperature on rambutan quality and browning.
