Conclusively, the astaxanthin derived from shrimps is very effective against oxidative stress which become the cause of certain ailments.

The present study has shown that the Cordyceps militaris extract CME exerts both apoptosis and pyroptosis toward A549 cell line through inducing caspase-3-depended pyroptosis and apoptosis.

The result of this study showed that fast food consumption has dramatically decreased during the lock-down period in Iranian households. Fear of contamination of fast foods by coronavirus and increase in the number of people at home were the most and the less frequent reasons for decreasing fast food consumption, respectively.

Ultrasonic enhancement on vacuum drying of Schisandra chinensis extract was studied. The kinetics of process and physicochemical properties were investigated. Ultrasound-assisted vacuum drying improved the drying efficiency and product quality.

• There were seasonal, high-incidence areas and high-risk groups in wild mushroom poisoning.
• The incidence of mushroom poisoning in Zhejiang province was high in households (91.6%), mainly in rural households.
• Local spatial autocorrelation showed that the “hot spots” of wild mushroom poisoning in Zhejiang province from 2016 to 2018 were Quzhou and Lishui.

Safety assessment of Lactococcus lactis IDCC 2301 isolated from homemade cheese was performed. It was proven that L. lactis IDCC 2301 can be safely used as probiotics for human consumption through in vitro and in vivo experiments about safety.

Blueberry anthocyanins with high entrapment efficiency were successfully prepared in this paper. Blueberry anthocyanin liposomes were modified with biopolymer chitosan, and the stability was improved after modification. It provides a basis for further research and identification of blueberry anthocyanins.

This article aggregates consolidates and validates free radical scavenging activity of seven wild mushrooms along with their phytoconstituent’s binding affinity to the human erythrocyte catalase.

The oxidative stability of Mortierella alpine oil encapsulated by modified chitosan was investigated. CS-stearic acid nanoparticles were of the most oxidative stability.

In infancy, the diet requires both, an especially high nutritional quality and toxicological safety. In view of the recent TDI for erucic acid issued by EFSA, our scenarios show that the nutritionally safe food-based dietary guidelines for infancy in Germany may no longer be safe with regard to potential exposure to erucic acid that originates mainly from rapeseed oil. In addition to the strong data base on erucic acid in rapeseed oil in Germany, timely data bases for human milk and formula are needed to definitely decide on the toxicological safety of infant nutrition.

The application of alternating magnetic field-assisted freezing in tilapia can be helpful in tilapia storage. The effect of alternating magnetic fields on different parts of frozen tilapia can provide a theoretical basis for tilapia quality research. The experimental results of alternating magnetic field-assisted freezing in tilapia can provide a theoretical basis for the application of the magnetic field.

6-gingerol is the primary component in ginger; it is about 15-fold and 53-fold higher than 6-paradol and 6-shogaol, respectively. Consistent with TPC and antioxidant activity, the highest amount of these major phytochemicals was obtained when harvested at the first week; however, these phenolic compounds were gradually reduced to 50% of originals as ginger matured.

N-3 PUFAs may play a beneficial role on bone health by inhibiting bone resorption, as well as promoting bone formation and enhancing BMD, especially for ALA intervention form or for postmenopausal women. In addition, n-3 PUFAs supplementations might have short-term effects for bone turnover markers and long-term effects for BMD.

The aim of present study was to compare the in vitro antioxidant and antibacterial properties of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) films containing resveratrol (RES) and eugenol (EUG), alone and in combination, and to calculate the dose interactions between them. The combined use of RES and EUG in CMC films had synergistic antioxidant and antagonistic antibacterial effects.

The study aimed to shed light on Allium mongolicum Regel's use in fermented mutton sausages, and provide useful information for the utilization in the design of fermented sausage processing.

Impact of nut drying technologies on carotenoids, tocopherols, tocotrienols, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids in cashew kernels was investigated. Higher concentrations of the carotenoids lutein and β-carotene in the testa-containing kernels were confirmed. Higher concentrations of minerals, fatty acids and some amino acids were found in baby butts than in whole white and split grades, underlining the nutritional value and possible better market value of the baby butt grades.

Increasing the carrier ratio reduced antioxidant contents and activities. High inlet temperature effectively retained phenolic compounds. High encapsulation efficiency of anthocyanin (above 85%) was obtained at an ACN:MD ratio of 1:100 (w/w). Increasing carrier ratio and inlet temperature resulted in decrease in moisture content, and the solubility of all samples exceeded 93.71%.

A new oligosaccharide was isolated from red yeast rice. RYRO1 consists of mannose, glucosamine, glucose, and galactose. RYRO1 possesses in vitro antioxidant activity.

Baccaurea motleyana Müll. Arg. fruit is a useful but underutilized fruit that has numerous medicinal properties. Here, a short overview of the plant has been given to uncover its therapeutic potential.

BLURB FOR ETOC:The pure culture method was used to isolate and identify the lactic acid bacteria in the sample. Strains with good characteristics were screened by simulating artificial gastrointestinal fluid. Finally, the fermentation characteristics of the strains were evaluated.

This research aimed to formulate acceptable, nutrient and energy-dense complementary foods using locally available crops with an optimized custom mixture design so as to combat protein-energy malnutrition and enhance the nutrient intake of infants.

Mayonnaise is an oil-in-water emulsion that in addition to eggs other stabilizers and thickeners are used as emulsifiers for better stability. Although eggs are an important ingredient in the production of mayonnaise, the health problems associated with the use of eggs is increasing due to their high cholesterol content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of clover sprout protein to replace eggs for the production mayonnaise. The results indicate that using clover protein up to 6% can satisfactorily remove most of the mayonnaise egg and produce low-egg mayonnaise, thus producing a functional product and preventing the side effects of egg yolk consumption.

Assessing the effect of L. casei, L. plantarum and L. fermentum on corn flour using dynamic characterization methods including RVA, TPA, Rheometer, SEM, DSC along with co-culture technique in order to enhance its applicability by evaluating the variations in rheological, textural, morphological, thermal and structural properties.

BLURB FOR ETOCThis review focuses on the protective effect of isoflavones and triterpenoid saponins from pueraria lobata on the liver and their therapeutic potential for different types of liver diseases.

In Ghana, >65% of children aged 0–5 years are affected by anemia. Micronutrient-fortified infant cereal providing 3.75 mg of iron fumarate per 50 g for 6 months improved hemoglobin and iron status and decreased the prevalence of anemia among infants and young children aged 6 to 18 months.

Egg consumption improves vascular and gut microbiota function but has no effects on inflammatory, metabolic, and oxidative status.
