    • Antioxidant and Hypoglycemic Effects of Millet Extract and Its Digestive Solution

      2021, 21(11):14-21.

      Abstract (417) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to explore the anti-oxidation and hypoglycemic activity of millet, the DPPH· scavenging capacity and total antioxidant capacity of four different extracts, extracts digestive solution and sediment digestive solution of millet were determined. The glucose uptake levels on PA-induced insulin-resistant HepG2 cells (IR-HepG2) were detected. The results showed that the water extract and ethanol extract had higher antioxidant activity, and their antioxidant capacity decreased after simulated digestion in vitro (the total antioxidant capacity decreased by 50.00% and 54.55%, respectively). Unlike the antioxidant results, the water extract and the ethanol extract (20, 40 μg/mL) had no significant effect on the improvement of IR-HepG2 insulin resistance. The n-butanol extract (40, 80 μg/mL) and n-hexane extract (20, 40, 80 μg/mL) all significantly increased the glucose uptake of IR-HepG2. After digestion, the ethanol extract significantly improved insulin resistance, but n-butanol and n-hexane extracts had no effect on insulin resistance. The glucose uptake was enhanced by n-hexane sediment digestive solution, n-butanol sediment digestive solution, water sediment digestive solution and millet digestive solution. However, ethanol sediment digestive solution did not improve insulin resistance, indicating that the hypoglycemic effect of millet was mainly concentrated in ethanol extract.

      Abstract (572) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to improve the utilization rate and nutritional value of oat bran, with oat bran coarse powder as raw material, and the effects of micronization on the nutritional, functional and antioxidant properties of oat bran were explored. The results showed that with the decrease of bran size, the fat content of oat bran increased significantly (P < 0.05), the polysaccharide content increased first and then decreased, the polyphenol content increased first and then decreased, and there were significant differences among the groups, and the dietary fiber content decreased significantly (P < 0.05). With the decrease of the grain size of oat bran, the total antioxidant capacity of oat bran increased gradually, while the scavenging rate of hydroxyl radical and TBA value decreased gradually. The scavenging rate of DPPH radical and ABTS radical reached the maximum when oat bran was 74 μm (200 mesh), which was 92.1% and 71.88%, respectively. The inhibition rate of linoleic acid peroxidation was the strongest. Correlation analysis showed that there was a great correlation between total phenolics, dietary fiber and antioxidant indexes, and the correlation coefficients were greater than 0.71. Polysaccharides, total phenolics and dietary fiber may be important functional components of oat bran with antioxidant capacity.

      Abstract:The purpose of the research was to develop functional products derived from immature persimmon and improved its application value. Using the immature persimmon as test material, a comprehensive method combined by water extraction, gelatin precipitation process and organic solvent extraction was used to extract and separate the persimmon extracts, then three separated components F1, F2 and F3 were obtained. The components of tannin were identified by ultraviolet spectrum, infrared spectrum and HPLC analysis, as well as their antioxidative activity, antibacterial activity and anticancer activity in vitro were also evaluated. The results revealed that the separated components F1, F2 and F3 had similar absorption characteristics with tannins, and the molecular structures were highly similar, all containing -OH, aromatic ring skeleton, C=C, C-H structure. F1 contained 240.9 mg/g gallic acid and four unknown ingredients, F2 contained 270 mg/g protocatechin and two unknown ingredients, and F3 contained 37.8 mg/g ferulic acid and four unknown ingredients. DPPH radical scavenging ability was F1>F3>VC>F2, ABTS radical scavenging ability was F1>VC>F3>F2, hydroxyl radical scavenging ability was VC>F1>F3>F2, and total reducing capacity was VC>F3>F2>F1, indicating that F1, F2 and F3 all had strong antioxidative properties. Three components had different degrees of inhibition on Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Shigella, Salmonella, and Sakazakii, meanwhile, the antibacterial ability was F1>sodium benzoate>F3>F2. Both F2 and F3 had no inhibitory properties on tumor cell proliferation, and only F1 had a certain inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human liver cancer cells HepG2 and human gastric cancer cells MKN-45 in vitro. Conclusion: Immature persimmon tannin had the potential to be developed into natural antioxidants, preservatives and anti-cancer drugs.

      Abstract (176) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:There is a big difference in the hypoglycemic activity in vitro between polysaccharides by Inonotus obliquus from submerged fermentation and fruit body. In order to improve the activity of the former, this study explored the glucose consumption of HepG2 cells and insulin-resistant HepG2 cells added with extracellular polysaccharides from Inonotus obliquus by submerged fermentation under different stimulating factors. The results showed that polysaccharides obtained by adding stimulating factors could promote the glucose consumption of cells, and different stimulating factors had different effects of promoting hypoglycemic activity in vitro. To be specific, 160 μg/mL birch extract, 40 μg/mL VB6, 80 μg/mL VB1 and betulin group fermented polysaccharides could significantly increase the glucose consumption of IR-HepG2 cells for 48 h, and the effect was better than the non-stimulating factor group. Among them, thepromotion effect of VB6 was the most significant, which was 66.80% higher than that of the non-stimulating factor group, and significantly higher than that of the positive control group (P<0.01). Therefore, the paper proved that the birch indeed contained stimulating factors that could promote the production of active polysaccharides from the fruit bodies of Inonotus obliquus, and further proved that the betulin, VB1 and VB6 in the birch extract could improve the hypoglycemic activity of the polysaccharide produced by the liquid submerged culture of Inonotus obliquus.

      Abstract:Objectives: In order to investigate the mechanism of different inhibitory effects of chitosan on some microorganisms. Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of chitosan were determined, and the relative conductivity, dissolved OD260nm value, dehydrogenase and β-galactosidase activity were measured. Results: The results showed that the MIC of chitosan to Lactobacillus plantarum, Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces ellipsoideus were 0.2, 2, 0.4 mg/L, MBC were 0.8, 16 mg/L and 3.2 mg/L, respectively. 4MIC chitosan significantly increased the relative conductivity and OD260nm value of all microorganisms. MIC chitosan treatments increased the relative conductivity of all microorganisms and OD260nm value of S. ellipsoideus significantly, but the OD260nm value of E. coli decreased, and no significant difference was found in L. plantarum at 0.5 h, but its increased significantly at 9 h. Chitosan significantly inhibited the dehydrogenase of L. plantarum and S. ellipsoideus, but had no significant effect on E. coli. The inhibition effect of chitosan on β- galactosidase was weaker than that of dehydrogenase. Conclusions: Chitosan was easy to pass through the cell wall of L. plantarum and S. ellipsoideus, also damage cell membrane of S. ellipsoideus. But it was difficult to pass through E. coli cell wall. The difference of antibacterial activity of chitosan might be related to the barrier ability of cell wall and resisting destruction of cell membrane to chitosan.

      Abstract (162) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Foxtail millet (FM) is usually eaten after cooking in daily life, however, studies about the structural and functional properties changes of the main storage protein prolamin in FM before and after cooking are limited. In this study, the prolamins from uncooked and cooked FM were extracted respectively, and the structural and functional changes of which were compared. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that the structure of prolamin from cooked FM was different from that from uncooked FM, as evidenced by occurrence of protein body cross-linking between each other and the changes in protein shape from circular to irregular. The differential scanning calorimetry results further confirmed that the denaturation temperature of prolamin in cooked FM was increased, thus demonstrating that the structure of which tended to be stable. In addition, the amino acid content of prolamin in cooked FM was significantly higher than that in uncooked foxtail millet. Moreover, the secondary structure analysis revealed that part of β-fold was converted to α-helix in prolamin from cooked FM, which indicated that its structure became stable. Furthermore, solubility of prolamin in cooked FM was decreased when compared with prolamin in uncooked FM. Taken together, significant structural and functional changes occurred in FM prolamin after cooking.

      Abstract:The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of soaking water ratio and drying methods on the water absorption, color and total phenolic content of peach gum during the commercialization of peach gum. Results showed that the water absorption of peach gum could reach up to 26 times of its original weight. The average content of total phenol in unsoaked peach gum was 2.49 times than that of the sample after soaking. The average content of total phenol in the sample after vacuum freeze-drying under different ratios was 1.14 times than that of the sample after heat pump drying. There was a significant color difference (P<0.05) between the soaked sample and the unsoaked sample, moreover, the color saturation, brightness and b* value were significantly increased (P<0.05). Besides, the color difference of the sample after vacuum freeze-drying was lower than that of the sample after heat pump drying. The results of correlation analysis showed that the total phenolic content was positively correlated with L* value (P<0.01), and negatively correlated with △E value(P<0.05). In this study, it was clear that the color saturation and brightness of peach gum were significantly improved during the process of soaking, except lightness. Vacuum freeze-drying could reduce the chromatic aberration of the sample while retaining the content of phenolic substances in peach gum.

      2021, 21(11):112-119.

      Abstract (485) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The fruit will be crushed, collided, and damaged due to vibration during transportation, and these damages will affect the quality of the fruit during storage. In this paper, the length of the vibration time was used as a variable to study the effect of different vibration time on the changes of carbon dioxide concentration and quality of Myrica during storage. Research results showed that vibration would increase the respiratory strength of Myrica and increase the carbon dioxide concentration in the package. The quality of Myrica treated with 12 hours of vibration in terms of firmness, anthocyanins, vitamin C, and total antioxidant properties were lower than the quality of other Myrica treatments. Correlation analysis showed that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Myrica packaging was strongly negatively correlated with vitamin C, total antioxidant capacity, and firmness, and was generally negatively correlated with titratable acids and anthocyanins, and weakly correlated with soluble solids. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the Myrica packaging could reflect the quality of Myrica to a certain extent in the process of logistics storage. Using multiple linear regression equations, the shelf life prediction model constructed with the above-mentioned quality indicators of Myrica can better predict the storage time of Myrica after different vibration time treatments.

      Abstract:Qualitative and localized detection of oral probiotics in the host has great significance. In this study, a horizontal specific fluorescence in situ hybridization probe was designed to study the colonization of Lactobacillus rhamnosus in the host intestinal tract. Based on the genome sequences of L.rhamnosus Probio-M9 and other related species, the L. rhamnosus species-level specific probe (Probe-16S) and the L.rhamnosus Probio-M9 strain-level specific probe (Probe-SP) were designed. After these specific probes verified using 15 strains of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and 15 other probiotics of the genus, the L.rhamnosus Probio-M9 strain-level specific probe was examined its applicability both in vitro and in vivo by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Finally, combining a fluorescent D-amino acid (FDAA)-based metabolic probe, the living cells of L.rhamnosus Probio-M9 were detected in the intestinal tract of rats. The strain-level FISH probe we designed could specifically identify the L.rhamnosus Probio-M9 from the gut microbiota. This method could combine with the FDAA probes to provide a reliable technic for further exploring the translocation of this probiotic strain in the host.

      Abstract:Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) have emerged as major mussel pollutants in recent decades, thus the development of sensors capable of detecting both of Pb and Cd is of considerable interest. In this work, a bismuth film modified homemade electrode (HME) composed of ionic liquid/graphene composite (IL/GNs) was used as a working electrode for simultaneous detection of trace Pb2+ and Cd2+ in shellfish by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). The best experimental parameters were optimized and set as follows: the mass concentration of Bi3+ at 500 μg/L, the enrich time of 420 s, enrich voltage at -1.1 V, stirring speed of 600 r/min, and HAc-NaAc buffer pH at 4.2. Under the optimal conditions, the DPASV peak currents showed good linear relationships with the mass concentrations of Pb2+ and Cd2+ in the same range of 1.0~45.0 μg/L and the detection limits for Pb2+ and Cd2+ were 0.5 μg/L and 0.8 μg/L, respectively. The analysis system was successfully applied to simultaneous detection of Pb2+ and Cd2+ contents in Scallop, Ostrea plicatula, Solen gouldi, Ruditapes philippinarum, and the results were comparable with those obtained from ICP-MS. The electrochemical sensor based on IL/GNS HME is easy to be operated and has high sensitivity toward sensing Pb2+ and Cd2+. It can be used for the rapid, accurate, and simultaneous detection of trace Pb2+ and Cd2+ in shellfish.

      Abstract:According to data released by the World Health Organization, ischemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Alzheimer's disease, tracheobronchial and lung cancer and diabetes are the top 6 causes of death in the world. This paper was based on 7 Economic Cooperation Organization(OECD) indicators related to non-medical determinants of health [Total fat supply (X1), Total calorie supply (X2), Total protein supply (X3), Sugar supply (X4), Vegetables supply (X5), Fruits supply (X6) and Alcohol consumption (X7)] and 6 indicators related to health status [Ischemic heart diseases mortality (Y1), Chronic obstructive Pulmonary diseases mortality (Y2), Alzheimer's disease mortality (Y3), Malignant neoplasms of trachea, bronchus, lung mortality (Y4), Diabetes mellitus mortality (Y5), Life expectancy (Y6)] from 2000 to 2013. Data from the top 10 countries in the OECD database were selected for multiple regression analysis using 6 indicators related to health status, including Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5 and Y6, and indicators related to non-medical determinants of health, including X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7. The results showed that the X7 was positively correlated with Y4 and negatively correlated with Y1 and Y5, and the coefficients were all greater than 1. It showed that alcohol consumption will increase the mortality rate of malignant neoplasms of trachea, bronchus, lung, but would significantly reduce the mortality rate of ischemic heart disease and Diabetes mellitus. X1 and X4 were significantly positively correlated with Y1, and the coefficients were both greater than 1, which indicating that total fat supply and sugar supply would increase the mortality rate of ischemic heart disease. Other health-related non-medical determinants, some of which were eliminated in stepwise regression, and the coefficients that were not eliminated were all less than 1, which had little influence on the change of Y value.

      Abstract (479) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism. In recent years, studies have found that some amino acids can be used as potential biomarkers of diabetes, such as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and aromatic amino acids (AAAs) which can induce insulin resistance through the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signal pathway or by middle toxic metabolites accumulation. With the development of metabolomics research, it has been found that the different metabolites between type 2 diabetic animals and diabetic control animals tend to be enriched in amino acid metabolism pathways after polysaccharide intervention, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, the mechanism analysis of polysaccharides improving diabetes by regulating amino acid metabolism may explore new strategies for the treatment of this disease.

      2021, 21(11):359-367.

      Abstract (438) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The addition of oil and fat can affect the quality of surimi and minced meat products. This effect mainly depends on the proportional relationship between oil, protein and moisture, as well as the type of oil and environmental factors such as pH. When the proportional relationship between oil, protein and moisture is appropriate, oil can usually improve the quality characteristics of meat products, such as brightness, water retention capacity and gel characteristics, and vice versa can reduce these characteristics. In addition, the use of vegetable oil instead of animal fat can reduce the content of saturated fatty acids in meat products and increase the content of unsaturated fatty acids. In the process of gelatinization with meat products, there are mainly two kinds of force relationship between oil and protein. The first is the interaction between the proteins that form the interface protein film by electrostatic attraction. The second is the interaction between the oil and the interface protein film. Finally, a fat-interface protein film-protein matrix emulsification system is formed. The type of oil and environmental factors such as pH affect the quality of meat products by changing the stability of emulsification system by affecting the formation of the force between oil and protein.

      Abstract (263) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In recent years, in order to solve the problem of drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria, a variety of new antimicrobial agents emerged. Among them, the antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is quite outstanding, so it has been widely concerned. The antimicrobial activity of AgNPs involves complex biological processes such as biofilm, cell damage and gene expression. Oxidative stress reaction plays an important role in this biological process. Under the stress of AgNPs, excessive reactive oxygen species(ROS) is produced in microorganisms, which stimulates intracellular oxidative stress and causes the following three effects: destruction of cell wall, cell membrane and its contents; affecting oxidative stress related gene expression; changes in protein translation processes and metabolic pathways. Based on this, this paper introduced the generation of microbial oxidative stress under the stress of AgNPs, focusing on the influence mechanism of oxidative stress on microorganisms at the levels of cells, gene expression, transcriptome and proteome. This is helpful to further understand the role of oxidative stress in the antimicrobial mechanism of AgNPs.

    • The Spread and Risk Control of Drug Resistance Genes in the Food Chain

      2021, 21(11):410-416.

      Abstract (201) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The abuse of antibiotics leads to the frequent emergence of multiple drug resistance, which brings new challenges to the medical environment. The exchange of genetic material between DNA in different organisms or cells promotes the exchange and recombination of genetic material, so that drug-resistant genes evolve to adapt to the new drug-resistant environment. Direct contact between humans and animals as well as some biological substances may cause rapid transmission of resistant bacteria between hosts. The early stage of infection is a period of high risk and can enter families and communities through close contact. There can also be indirect exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistant genes in the food chain through contact or consumption of contaminated food. Resistant genes can spread throughout the food chain, remaining partially active in humans and animals and spreading as metabolites are released into new environments. Understanding the spread of drug resistance genes in the food chain, so as to carry out risk management, infection and other related safety problems play a crucial role. Monitoring systems at different levels and fields should be set up to monitor the production, circulation and use of antibiotics at all stages, and the information obtained in various fields should be combined to jointly deal with the spread of drug-resistant genes.
