      Abstract (817) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Whether the polysaccharide structure is ordered or not has been widely debated. A correct understanding of the structural types of polysaccharides and breaking through the limitations of structural theory contributes to understand the biological basis of human health and clarify their structure-activity relationship. Edible fungi polysaccharides show great potentials in the fields of dietary supplements and health foods. However, there is still no systematic elaboration of the chemical structures of edible fungi polysaccharides. The research issues and trends of edible fungi polysaccharides were excavated with bibliometric method. The relationships between edible fungi and their monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkages and structural types of polysaccharides were comprehensively summarized and analyzed. Moreover, the structural regularities of edible fungi polysaccharides were revealed. It is expected to provide new enlightenment for the exploration of the polysaccharide structures from edible fungi and other natural products.

      2021(8):25-34.

      Abstract (297) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In this paper, bioreporter strain Chromobacterium Violaceum 026 (CV026) was used to detect the inhibitory effect of quorum sensing inhibition activity of paeonol. Then anti-quorum sensing and anti-biofilms efficacy of paeonol against Serratia grimessi were further studied. The results indicated that peaonol could inhibit the violacein production secreted from CV026 when the bacteria was the sub-minimum inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC). When peaonol mass concentration was 500 μg/mL, the yield of violacein decreased by 57.95%. The results of optical microscope analysis showed that paeonol could hinder the biofilm formation of Serratia grimessi. The scanning microscope results also manifested the biofilm inhibition of paeonol and further showed a rupture of biofilm caused by paeonol. Furthermore, the expression of virulence factors, such as swarming activity, protease production and extracellular polysaccharide production, had been suppressed after treating with paeonol. With the increase of paeonol, the suppressed effect was shown as the mass concentration-dependently. These results demonstrated that the paeonol had an effective inhibitory activity and could be developed as a potential quorum sensing inhibitor (QSI).

      Abstract:Objective: The gene cloning and expression of glutamate decarboxylase A from Escherichia coli and its enzymatic properties were investigated. Methods: The gene gadA encoding glutamate decarboxylase A from E. coli was amplified by PCR, and was cloned into the vector pET-28a(+) to construct recombinant plasmid pET28a- gadA, which was then transformed into E. coli BL21 to generate the strain E. coli BL21/pET28a-gadA. Glutamate decarboxylase A was purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatographic column, and its enzymatic properties were studied. Results: The recombinant plasmid pET28a-gadA was successfully constructed, which was demonstrated by PCR and double restriction endonuclease-digested analysis. The SDS-PAGE analysis showed that glutamate decarboxylase A obtained by Ni2+ affinity chromatography was electrophoretically pure, and its specific activity and recovery rate were respectively 19 U/mg and 12.8%. The activity of glutamate decarboxylase A was the highest at pH 4.5, and its optimal temperature was 50 ℃. It was stable at 40 ℃ and was unstable at 70 ℃. Only 17.9% of the original activity was retained at 70 ℃ for 150 min. Cu2+ had a strong inhibition to the activity of glutamate decarboxylase A, and Ba2+, Co2+ and Mg2+ had not obvious influence on its activity, while Ca2+ could significantly enhance its activity. Conclusion: This study lays a foundation for deeply understanding enzymatic properties of glutamate decarboxylase A and for the preparation of γ-aminobutyric acid.

      2021, 21(8):57-66.

      Abstract (184) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Disadvantages such as poor stability and compatibility, limit the health efficacy exertion and application of tea polyphenols. In this paper, casein (CS) was modified by multipolar pH transformation combined with ultrasonic simultaneous thermal induction to improve its stability of encapsulate and transport EGCG. The EGCG ternary nanoparticle emulsion was established by vortex incubation to establish a self-assembly model, and high-load EGCG nanoparticles were obtained. The encapsulation rate of the target product reached 90%-95%, and the loading rates were all higher than 305 μg/mg, which achieved a significant increase in the loading of EGCG(P<0.05). In this study, the emulsion and storage stability of EGCG nanoparticles were enhanced while ensuring higher loading and encapsulation rates. Compared with the blank group, the thermodynamic stability and release properties in vitro of nano-encapsulated EGCG improved significantly, which was conducive to promoting the high-value utilization of EGCG and the expansion and extension of application fields.

      2021, 21(8):67-77.

      Abstract (153) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The myofibrillar protein (MP) were mixed with carrageenan, konjac gum and starch respectively to form composite in this paper. Tea polyphenols (TP) with 0.00, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.50, 1.00% were added to the composites, respectively. This paper was to study the effects of TP on the emulsifying and textural properties of MP-polysaccharide composite. The results showed that all gel composites had the minimum surface hydrophobicity with the 0.10% concentration of TP, and MP- Konjac gum group appeared the lowest value of 0.39 μg, this illustrated that the surface hydrophobic groups of the gel were exposed in the least amount. The emulsifying activity of gels raised with the increase of TP under 0.10% concentration, followed by a decrease(P<0.05) with the adding of TP continually. At all levels of tea polyphenols (except the addition amount of tea polyphenols was 1.00%), MP-starch group presented the best emulsifying capacity within all samples. Meanwhile, the MP- Carrageenan group had the best emulsifying stability. MP-Carrageenan group expressed compact and uniform distributed structure, suggested that carrageenan could improve the texture of gels with or without TP. In conclusion, the concentration of tea polyphenols and type of polysaccharide could both influence the emulsifying and textural properties of mutton myofibrillar protein. Low concentration of TP(under 0.10%) and carrageenan contribute to improve the emulsifying and textural properties of composite system.

      2021, 21(8):78-90.

      Abstract (185) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In this paper, different mass concentrations of Auricularia cornea Ehrenb. polysaccharides were added to corn starch to prepare a corn starch-Auricularia cornea Ehrenb. polysaccharide compound system, and its retrogradation and digestion characteristics during storage were studied. The results showed that as the polysaccharide mass concentration increased, the hardness of the system decreased and the cohesion decreased, the To of the system gradually increased, and the enthalpy of retrogradation decreased. The higher mass concentration of Auricularia cornea Ehrenb. polysaccharide added, the more significant the texture and thermal characteristics of the system changed. The crystal nucleus of the recrystallization of the compound system mainly formed in the early stage of retrogradation. The nucleation method was rapid nucleation and rapid growth, Auricularia cornea Ehrenb. polysaccharides could accelerate the nucleation rate and recrystallization growth rate of the system. No new group was formed after the compounding system was regenerated. As the polysaccharide concentration increased, the hydrogen bonding force became stronger, and the degree of order gradually decreased. The addition of Auricularia cornea Ehrenb. polysaccharides maked the binding of water molecules in the system more tight, and the water retention of the gel was enhanced. The ratio of slowly digested starch in the compound system increased with the increase of polysaccharide mass concentration, and the content of resistant starch decreased. This study could provide important theoretical basis for better application of Auricularia cornea Ehrenb. polysaccharides to starch-based foods.

    • Effects of β-Glucan on Gel Properties and Retrogradation of Oat Starch

      2021, 21(8):91-101.

      Abstract (500) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The interaction between oat starch and β-glucan plays a major role in the formation of oat dough. In order to explore the effects of β-glucan on properties of oat starch, β-glucan was added to oat starch with different ration. Microstructure, rheological and effect of β-glucan on starch retrogradation were studied. The results showed that with the increase of adding amount of β-glucan, the particle size of the compound system significantly decreased, oat starch/β-glucan mixed systems formed a dense, continuous honeycomb-like network structure, the enthalpy of gelatinization increased, indicating that mixed system had a good stability. Infrared spectroscopy showed that the system did not form a new group. β-Glucan could significantly reduce the hardness, increase the mixture and improve the quality of food. Pasting temperature and peak time of pastes were increased while setback value and breakdown value were reduced by adding β-glucan. The mixed system had better thermal stability and aging resistance. The mixed system was still a weak gel. Compared with the original starch, the viscoelasticity and consistency coefficient increased, and mixture was easier to shear thinning added with 5%-10% β-glucan. The solid property was the most obvious when added with 10%. When the addition amount was 15%-20%, the viscoelasticity decreased, while the shear stability of the mixed system increased. β-Glucan inhibits the long-term regeneration of oat starch when added with 10%. The research results can provide a reference for the application of the mixed system in food industry.

      2021, 21(8):102-110.

      Abstract (391) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The adsorption of heavy metal lead ions and cadmium ions in water by Akebia trifoliata var. australis pectin was determined, and the effects of solution pH, initial ion mass concentration, temperature and adsorption time on the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate of lead ions and cadmium ions were investigated. The results indicated that the variables studied significantly affected the adsorption of lead ions and cadmium ions by pectin. It was also observed that the adsorption Pb2+ and Cd2+ by pectin was pH dependent and the optimum adsorption pH was 5.0. The Akebia trifoliata var. australis pectin could adsorb lead ions and cadmium ions at a fast rate, they almost achieved adsorption equilibrium after 40 min and the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate were decreased with the increase of temperature. Adsorption thermodynamics analysis showed that the adsorption of lead ions and cadmium ions by pectin was a non-spontaneous and exothermic process. The adsorption process was simulated by the Langmuir and Freundlich models. It was found that the fitting effect of Freundlich equation was better than that of Langmuir equation, indicating that the adsorption of lead ions and cadmium ions on Akebia trifoliata var. australis pectin was multi-layer adsorption. The kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, and kinetics of Pb2+ and Cd2+ adsorption by pectin was better described by the pseudo-second-order equation. The adsorption rate was controlled by chemisorption. In summary, Akebia trifoliata var. australis pectin had a high ability to adsorb heavy metal ions and could be used as an alternative adsorbent to treat industrial wastewater containing lead ions and cadmium ions to reduce heavy metal pollution.

      Abstract:To explore the protective effect of camel milk fat on rheumatoid arthritis in rats. A mixture of bovine protein II and Freund's complete adjuvant was injected subcutaneously into female Wistar rats to create CIA arthritis rat models. After modeling, the rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, diclofenac sodium group and camel milk fat group. After 30 days of camel milk fat smearing treatment, the body weight, hind foot swelling, organ index, pathological changes of synovial slices and articular bone surface changes were measured. The content of inflammatory factors in serum were detected by ELISA. The expression of inflammatory genes in synovial tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The results showed that the weight of rats was significantly increased(P<0.05), and the swelling of foot claws was significantly decreased(P<0.05). The pathological results showed that the joint clearance and bone erosion were significantly recovered, the inflammatory cells decreased, and the number of newborn cells increased in synovial tissue. The content of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 (P<0.05) was significantly increased, and the content of inflammatory factor IL-1β and IL-6 was significantly reduced (P<0.05). The gene expression of IL-1β、IKK、IκB、RIP1 in synovial tissue was significantly reduced(P<0.05). Thus, camel milk fat might reduce inflammatory factor expression by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway, thereby alleviating arthritis in CIA rats.

      2021, 21(8):128-135.

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

      Abstract:Objective: To explore the protective effect of ursolic acid (UA) on intestinal mucosal barrier injury in alcohol-induced rats. Methods: SD rats were randomly divided into 4 group. Rats of normal control group received physiological saline by gavage for every day. Rats of alcohol model group were given oral dose of 8 mL/(kg bw·d) of 50% alcohol for the first to the second week, a dose of 12 mL/(kg bw·d) from the third week. Ursolic acid group were administered orally with 150 mg/(kg bw·d) UA for every day and received alcohol by gavage 1 hour later. Glutamine group were given 300 mg/(kg bw·d) glutamine by gavage for every day and the alcohol dose was the same as that of ursolic acid group. After 8 weeks, morphological examination of intestinal tissue was performed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, and the ultrastructure of intestinal mucosal was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The levels of D-lactic acid (D-LA), intestinal fatty acid binding protein (FABP2), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) in plasma were detected. The expressions of forkhead box O4 (FOXO4), p-FOXO4, and zonula occludens-1(ZO-1) in intestinal tissues were detected. Results: The morphological structure and the ultrastructure of intestinal tissues showed the villi of the rats in the alcohol model group were atrophic and short, the tight junction were swelling and the inflammatory cell infiltration was obvious. The pathological changes of small intestine mucosa in the ursolic acid group and glutamine group were better than alcohol model group. Plasma concentrations of D-LA, FABP2, TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly decreased. The expression of p-FOXO4 was decreased, ZO-1 was increased compared model group. There was no significant difference in FOXO4 expression. Conclusion: UA attenuates the damage of intestinal mucosal barrier injury caused by alcohol in rats, and its mechanism may be related to improving intestinal mucosal permeability, inhibiting the phosphorylation of FOXO4 protein, and thereby reducing the release of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β.

      Abstract (169) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Objective: This paper aimed to evaluate the probability of liver cancer combination and intensity of combined liver injury induced by AFB1+MC-LR at low dose and sub-chronic conditions, and to promote the understanding the threshold and occurrence possibility of liver toxicity co-exposure to AFB1+MC-LR at dietary scenarios, the results were helpful for risk control(e.g. MRLs setting). Methods: Based on the male wild-type C57BL/6 mice, CI model combined with scenarios extrapolating was used to predict the combined risk of hepatoma induced by AFB1+MC-LR at low dose and sub-chronic condition. And then, according to the expression of 5 typical targets in serum and liver, the combined effects of liver injury were explored. Results: Within dose range of 0-20 mg/kg bw, the CI index was in the range of 0-1.5, which showed the probability of additive/synergistic effect was relatively higher. With the equal effect ratio, the overall expression of combined group related with five indicators was slightly higher than that of single component in the serum and liver (P<0.05), which was also confirmed by principal component analysis, the probability of synergistic effect was relatively higher than antagonistic and simple additive effects. With unequal effect ratio, except TBIL and AFP in serum, the change of any single component will affect the expression of combined toxicity (P<0.05), while the change of single dose in liver will significantly affect the expression of combined toxicity (P<0.001). Conclusion: The results showed that early liver injury induced by AFB1+MC-LR was slight synergistic effect at low dose and sub-chronic condition, and the change of any single mycotoxin can affect the expression of combined liver injury in mixtures. It should be paid attention to in the standard making and supervision.

      Abstract (174) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to study the effect of black Jerusalem artichoke on intestinal flora and its production of short-chain fatty acids in mice, 50 KM mice were randomly divided into blank group, fructo-oligose group, black Jerusalem artichoke low, medium and high dose group. After continuous lavage for 15 days, changes of intestinal microbial composition and short-chain fatty acids content in cecum contents were detected based on 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed that compared with the blank group, the black Jerusalem artichoke group did not affect the normal growth of mice, but could change the composition of intestinal bacteria of mice, regulate the relative abundance of some bacteria related to intestinal immunity, and promote the growth of uncultured bacterium f Muribaculaceae of Bacteroideaceae and NK4A136 group of Bacteroideaceae. Meanwhile, black Jerusalem artichoke could regulate the content of short-chain fatty acid(SCFA) in the cecum contents of mice and increase the content of propionic acid, n-butyric acid and n-valeric acid. It is suggested that taking appropriate dose (0.05-0.1 g) of black Jerusalem artichoke may improve the intestinal health of mice and increase the anti-inflammatory capacity. This study provides theoretical basis and basic data for the health function of black Jerusalem artichoke.

      Abstract (484) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Taking Flammulina velutipes powder as the main raw material, the single-screw extrusion modification process was used to prepare high-quality Flammulina velutipes dietary fiber. The water holding capacity, oil holding capacity, swelling force, combined hydraulic power, cholesterol adsorption capacity, and the ability to combine sodium glycylcholate and sodium taurocholate of Flammulina velutipes dietary fiber were compared. The structure of dietary fiber of Flammulina velutipes before and after modification was studied by electron microscope, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction scanning. The results showed that the soluble dietary fiber of high-quality Flammulina velutipes dietary fiber increased compared to ordinary Flammulina velutipes dietary fiber, reaching (10.210±0.130)%. When the particle size of high-quality Flammulina velutipes dietary fiber was 100 mesh, the water holding capacity was (16.115±0.120) g/g, the oil holding capacity was (6.201±0.060) g/g, the swelling force was (16.958±0.120) mL/g, and the combined hydraulic power was (8.044 ±0.090) g/g, which was significantly improved compared with ordinary dietary fiber. At pH=2.0 and pH=7.0, the cholesterol adsorption capacity of high-quality Flammulina velutipes dietary fiber could reach to (0.359±0.004) mg/(mL·g) and (1.107±0.004) mg/(mL·g), respectively. When the particle size of high-quality Flammulina velutipes dietary fiber was 120 mesh, the ability to combine sodium glycylcholate and sodium taurocholate was better, reaching (67.367±0.600)% and (63.149±0.400)%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that the surface of the high-quality Flammulina velutipes dietary fiber after extrusion modification was loose and porous. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that the structure of main functional groups did not change significantly before and after modification, and the intensity of some characteristic peaks weakened after modification. X-ray diffraction scanning analysis showed that the crystal structure of Flammulina velutipes dietary cellulose did not change, and the diffraction intensity weakened. The extrusion-modified high-quality Flammulina velutipes dietary fiber improved its physical and chemical functional properties and changed its microstructure.

      Abstract (149) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:To improve the color of pressurized frozen-thawed pork, this paper was carried out to study the effects of 0-0.4% L-ascorbic acid (L-VC) on the Hunter color values (L*, a*, b*) and pH value of lean pork of hind leg treated by frozen-thawed and high pressure (100-300 MPa), and analyzed the change rules of myoglobin and its redox state in the experiment samples. The results showed that the addition of L-VC could significantly improve the a* and L* values of pressurized frozen-thawed pork during storage (P<0.05) and obviously reduce the pH value and myoglobin content (P<0.05), and the association relationship among these parameters and their change rules were depended on L-VC addition amount, pressure level and storage time. The addition of L-VC would contribute to convert DeoxyMb and MetMb in the frozen-thawed pork treated by 100 MPa and 300 MPa into OxyMb, but lead to the transformation of OxyMb in the frozen-thawed pork treated by 200 MPa to DeoxyMb and MetMb. It could be seen that the addition of L-VC could be applied to improve the color of pressurized frozen-thawed pork during storage, and the improvement effect of sample color was better at longer storage time than at shorter storage time. The results of this work could provide technical support for solving the problem of color fading of meat products caused by high pressure.

      Abstract:In this paper, the microstructure, crystal properties and particle size distribution of purple sweet potato starch and its dough were studied, Farinograph, RVA and rheological properties of purple sweet potato starch-wheat flour dough were analyzed, and the correlation between starch and dough was analyzed. Starch granules of purple sweet potatoes all exhibited round and hemispherical shapes. The average particle range was 43.903 to 55.842 μm, and the volume distribution was three-peak distribution. X-ray powder diffraction patterns revealed purple sweet potato starches were CA-type with relative crystallinity varying from 36.760% to 54.280%. The formation time and stabilization time of purple sweet potato starch dough were in the range of 2.20~3.90 min and 3.20~4.10 min, respectively, and other gelatinization properties decreased with the increase of gelatinization temperature between 70.10 ℃ to 85.65 ℃, which was beneficial to the stability of dough, the storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G'') increased significantly, while the loss angle tangent (tan δ) decreased first and then increased, indicating that the degree of molecular cross-linking in the mixed system increased, which made the dough elastic and beneficial to the stability of dough. There were differences in water distribution. The correlation results showed that the crystallinity was negatively correlated with water absorption, stabilization time, weakening degree and tolerance and pasting temperature, and positively correlated with peak viscosity, peak time, minimum viscosity, final viscosity and retrogradation value. The average particle size was negatively correlated with softening and BV, positively correlated with peak time and crystallinity. This study provides a theoretical basis for the selection of starch and the cultivation of purple potato varieties special for starch dough production.

      Abstract:Alcohol content is one of the most important quality parameters of Baijiu. In this paper, a commercially available bottled Baijiu as the research object, the rapid and in-situ nondestructive detection method of Raman spectroscopy was used to measure the alcohol content of glass bottled Baijiu. Firstly, the Raman spectra of ethanol, bottled Baijiu and empty bottle were determined. The Raman spectra of ethanol were reduced by Extended Multiplicative Scattering Correction (EMSC) pretreatment method with the Raman spectrum of the empty bottle as a reference. Then, a univariate linear regression model of Raman characteristic peak of ethanol and the alcohol content of bottled Baijiu was established. Among them, spectral model of bottled Baijiu pretreated with EMSC worked best at the Raman characteristic shift of 888 cm-1, with the determination coefficient R2 was 0.9998 and the root mean square error was 0.3077. The alcoholicity prediction model of bottled Baijiu verified by different alcoholicity liquor samples showed that the determination coefficient R2 between the predicted value and the true value was 0.9986, and the root mean square error was 0.3382. Finally, the models of different brands and different packaging Baijiu were corrected and the alcohol content was predicted based on the ratio correction method. This finding demonstrated that Raman spectroscopy could achieve the in-situ nondestructive rapid detection of alcohol in bottled Baijiu. This method, without impacting secondary sales, does not require unsealed packaging so that it brings a new technical means to the supervision of the liquor market, and also provide a technical reference for the nondestructive and rapid detection of bottled food quality and safety.

      Abstract:Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology combined with the chemometrics method was developed for the analysis on the difference of NMR hydrogen spectrum of four kinds of floral origins containing acacia honey, vitex honey, sunflower honey and Manuka honey. Pre-processing method was optimized and the NMR data were preprocessed effectively, then the multivariate statistical analysis methods containing principal component analysis(PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used to extract the classification information of each group based on the nuclear magnetic signals. The results showed that disperse liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) could avoid the signals of low contents of characteristic compounds covered by the large amounts of sugar in honey and the signals of chemical shifts from δ=0.5-10.0 was observed. The data was preprocessed by log transformation and Pareto scaling, and four kinds of unifloral-honeys could be distinguished by the PCA model. The explanation and prediction abilities based on the PLS-DA model were 93.2% and 87.6%, respectively. The permutation test was used to validate the model externally and showed that model was not fitted and was robust. Corresponding NMR chemical shifts several significant markers were identified as the characteristic variables to distinguish honeys from the loading plots and correlation coefficient analysis of OPLS-DA model. The proposed method was simple and fast, and could be extended to distinguish and identify honeys from different floral origins, and provide effective method and prediction model for quality evaluation of different unifloral-honeys.

      Abstract:In recent years, the study of gut microbiota and intestinal homeostasis had been a hot topic in many fields of clinical medicine, biology and food nutrition. Intestinal mucosa was an important barrier for the body to resist the invasion of external pathogens and maintain intestinal homeostasis. Mucin played an important role in food nutrition as the main component of intestinal mucus. However, the functional characteristics and related studies of mucin were still unclear due to the particularity of intestinal mucus. There were no systematic summary and analysis between mucin and food nutrition. Therefore, this paper reviewed the structure, classification, biological activity of mucin and its relationship with food nutrition, in order to provide reference for the study of mucin in the field of intestinal health and food nutrition.

      Abstract:Human milk oligosaccharides are abundant and unique in human milk, 200 components have been detected, of which 157 structures have been identified. HMOs not only has the effect of ‘bifid factor’, but also has anti adhesion, anti-bacterial, regulating intestinal epithelium and immune cells, reducing excessive mucosal leukocyte infiltration and activation, reducing neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, and providing sialic acid as a potential essential nutrient for brain development and cognition for infants. Chemical and biosynthetic HMOs substitutes are constantly emerging due to limitations on large-scale production. Although classic substitutes such as galactooligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides have some part of the functions of HMOs, their structural composition is significantly different. 2'-Fucosyllactose and lacto-N-neotetraose only simulate one or several molecular structures in HMOs. Therefore, bovine oligosaccharide has obvious advantages. Based on the review of the content, classification, structural characteristics, analysis methods, physiological functions, digestion, absorption and synthesis of milk oligosaccharides in different lactation stages, this paper focused on the potential sources of milk oligosaccharides. It aimed to provide theoretical guidance for the research, development and industrial substitution of HMOs substitutes.

The presence of different types of lipids improves the flavor and sensory evaluation of foods and plays a positive role in people's acceptability of foods. The current research on lipids and their applications in foods rarely consider the effects of food matrix or lipids on human digestion and absorption, which may exceed the importance of the type or amount of ingested lipids. This paper presented a detailed description of the lipid digestion and absorption process in the mouth, stomach and intestine. And then introduced the absorption mechanism of fatty acid molecules in the intestine, and summarized the effect of lipid composition, food structure, protein and dietary fiber on lipid digestion and absorption. This review will provide a reference for the development of functional structural lipids or evaluation of natural and recombinant lipids for human health benefits.

      Abstract:Fluoroquinolones(FQs) are usually used to prevent and treat animal diseases in livestock and aquaculture. However, excessive or irregular use of FQs can cause the production of drug-resistant strains. Moreover, the introduction of animal foodstuff with FQs residues into food chain can lead to bioaccumulative toxicity. Therefore, to explore the effective FQs detection methods has gradually become the focus of many researchers. At present, various detection methods have been established at home and abroad. The aptamer-based methods for FQs detection compared with other methods, especially, have the advantages of high sensitivity, good specificity, low cost and rapid operation. Therefore, the research progress of the worldwide aptamer-based biosensors used in FQs detection in the late five years was summarized in this review. The principle, technical application, advantages and disadvantages of diverse FQs aptamer biosensors were described in detail, covering fluorescent, colorimetric and electrochemical and other sensors. Finally, the problems existing in detection methods were discussed, and an outlook for development direction of aptamer-based FQs detection biosensors in the future was made in the review.
