    • Dietary Lipid-Protein Interaction Products and Their Relevance for Human Health

      2021(9):1-9.

      Abstract (460) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The research on the harmful substances in food heat-processing has become a hot and frontier field of food safety research in recent years. Relevant results show that the interaction between lipid and protein in food during thermal processing may be an important source of some harmful substances and potential health risks. Most of the oxidation products formed during the processing and storage of food rich in lipid have reactive activity, which can further modify the protein in food, lead to the change of protein structure, and then change its digestibility and reduce the nutritional quality. At the same time, some lipid protein interaction products formed by lipid oxidation products modifying proteins are health risk inducing factors. Some scholars have studied the formation mechanism of dietary lipid protein interaction products and its relationship with human health at present. However, there is no systematic discussion on the formation of lipid protein interaction products in food and its relationship with human health. Therefore, this paper introduces the lipid oxidation processing and oxidation products in food, analyzes the mechanism of protein modification by lipid oxidation products in food, and focuses on the relationship between lipid protein interaction products in food and human health.

      Abstract:In order to explore the changes in antioxidant activity of proteins after simulating gastrointestinal digestion in vitro, in this paper, ovalbumin was used as the research object, firstly, in vitro antioxidant activity of digested products were measured, then, H2O2 was used to construct a model of Caco-2 cell oxidative damage, and the cell viability and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured to investigate the cellular antioxidant activity of the products. Finally, electrospray orbital trap tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify three antioxidant peptides from the component with the strongest antioxidant activity (product with a molecular weight of less than 1 ku). The results showed that after the ovalbumin was simulated in the gastrointestinal tract in vitro, the antioxidant activity of the product was enhanced in a concentration-dependent manner, and the smaller the molecular weight of the component, the stronger the antioxidant activity. Products with a molecular weight of <1 ku have the strongest ability to inhibit oxidative damage of cells and scavenge reactive oxygen species. The three peptide sequences identified by mass spectrometry all have strong antioxidant activity. The sequences are: CFDV, CVSP and MPFR. The above results show that in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion has a positive effect on the improvement of ovalbumin antioxidant activity and the release of antioxidant active peptides.

      Abstract:A new method of rapid monitoring the interaction between food components and macrophages was developed based on capillary zone electrophoresis. Previously, a method was established for rapid separation and quantification of self-assembled nanoparticles from freshwater clam (Corbicula fluminea Muller) soup by capillary zone electrophoresis. This study used the same technique to separate and analyze the rat peritoneal macrophages and multiple-scale components of freshwater clam soup and the direct interaction between the cells and the soup, during and after the co-incubation. The profile of soup components and the electrophoretic behavior and morphology of macrophages were monitored. The results indicate that macrophages were separated into fractions with distinguishable migration time, which was elongated by the elevated cell numbers. Macrophages engulfed the soluble components and nanoparticles of clam soup. The average number of nanoparticles engulfment per cell was 8.7×102 particles at 24 h and 2.13×103 particles at 48 h. The clam soup components stimulated the secretion of macrophages, while the nanoparticles decreased the cellular surface charge, accelerated the electrophoretic mobility and promoted the cell differentiation. In summary, capillary zone electrophoresis is capable of rapid monitoring the interaction between the multiple-scale food components and macrophages, quantifying the subsequent changes occurred in the components, particles numbers and their surface properties. It demonstrated a promising new approach for rapid analysis of the direct food-human interaction.

      Abstract:Oat bran was used as the raw material, the modified Oat bran dietary fiber(OBDF) was processed by microwave method. The structure of OBDF before and after modification was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR). The functional properties changes were measurement by adsorption, solution, as well as scavenging ability of DPPH· free radical and hydroxyl radical. The results of SEM showed that modified OBDF appeared porous network structure, specific surface increased and microstructure were obvious changed. X-ray diffraction results showed that the modified OBDF crystal structure retained the original cellulose type Ⅰ structure, crystalline domain of OBDF after modification increased. FT-IR results showed that the characteristic absorption peak in the infrared spectrum was not changed significantly, but the intensity was decreased. The results of absorbent abilities showed that the modified OBDF and soluble dietary fiber(SDF) on cholesterol(under the condition of pH 7.0), sodium nitrite, glucose, and oil were significantly increased than before modification (P<0.05). The results of solubility showed that temperature and pH had great influence on the solubility of dietary fiber, under the condition of 70 ℃ and simulated stomach environment of human(pH 2.0), the solubility of OBDF was reached to (0.14±0.02) g/mL. The modified OBDF showed better scavenging ability for DPPH· free radical and hydroxyl radical, and the scavenging ability of modified OBDF and SDF on hydroxyl radical reached up to 49.8% and 62.1% respectively.

      Abstract (187) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:α-amylase and α-glucosidase are key enzymes in starch digestion and treatment of type Ⅱ glycosuria. The inhibitory activity and interaction mechanism of gardenia yellow(GY) on α-amylase and α-glucosidase were studied by enzyme inhibition kinetics and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that gardenia yellow inhibited α-amylase and α-glucosidase in a competitive manner, and its association constant Kic was 1.47 mg/mL and 0.58 mg/mL, respectively. The fluorescence spectra showed that gardenia yellow had strong quenching ability to the endogenous fluorescence of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, and the mixed quenching of gardenia yellow on α-amylase and α-glucosidase was mainly static quenching through Stern-volmer equation. The changes of enthalpy and entropy showed that the binding of gardenia yellow to glucosidase was mainly driven by Van Der Waals force and hydrophobic interaction, and the binding distance was 4.77 nm and 5.19 nm. Synchronous fluorescence showed that the binding of gardenia yellow with α-amylase and α-glucosidase caused enzyme rearrangement and conformational change, resulting in the change of tyrosine residue or/and tryptophan residue.

      Abstract:Glycoprotein has many kinds of biological activities such as anti-oxidation and is widely existed in organisms. At present, natural glycoproteins from various sources have been extracted and used, but the germinated brown rice glycoprotein(GBRG) has not received widespread attention because of its unknown function. Different glycoprotein peaks were further purified by DEAE-Cellucose 52 and Sepadex G-200, and the anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic properties of each peak were studied. The results showed that three glycoprotein peaks, named WEG, SEG-1 and SEG-2, were obtained by separation and purification. The three GBRG had no toxic side effects at a concentration of 0.025-0.2 mg/mL, and all them could inhibit the relative mRNA expression levels of the inflammatory factors COX-2, iNOS, TNF-α and IL-1β mucin in mouse macrophages RAW264.7 induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS), indicating that GBRG had a good inhibitory effect on inflammation. The three kinds of GBRG could inhibit the activity of α-glucosidase and α-amylase better, among which SEG-2 showed the best inhibitory effect, with the inhibition rates of 65.71% and 64.5%, respectively, and the inhibition rates of half were 0.46 mg/mL and 0.912 mg/mL, respectively, but they were weaker than acarbose.

      Abstract:The producing ability of acetoin, polyphenol, ester and non-volatile acid of 54 Bacillus strains isolated from cupei of Shanxi aged vinegar was determined. Two excellent strains of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 1539 and Bacillus subtilis 803 were screened, with higher polyphenols (750.96 μg/mL), non-volatile acids (2.93 g/L), ester (0.92 mg/mL) and acetoin (9.63 g/100 mL) producing ability. The results showed that when the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 1539 and Bacillus subtilis 803 were co-cultured at 1 ∶ 10, the production of acetoin, polyphenols, total ester and non-volatile acid were significantly higher than those of pure culture. The main non-volatile acids of vinegar like oxalic acid, pyruvate, tartaric acid and lactic acid were increased by 89.78%, 88.32%, 22.92% and 32.98%, respectively. Additionally, the variety and content of volatile aroma components were also significantly increased. When the combination of Bacillus strains (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 1539 ∶ Bacillus subtilis 803 was 1 ∶ 10, V ∶ V) were co-cultured with Acetobacter pasteurianus 33 and Lactobacillus plantarum 19, the contents of volatile aroma components such as ethyl acetate, ethyl isovalerate, 1-octene-3-ol, furfural were distinctly increased. This study provided important data support for the development of the mixed starter of Shanxi aged vinegar fermentation.

    • Effect of Probiotics Probio-X■ on Intestinal Lactic Acid Bacteria in Long-sea-voyage Sailors

      2021, 21(9):71-78.

      Abstract (264) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to explore the influence of voyage and the intake of probiotics Probio-X■ on the intestinal lactic acid bacteria. Taking 27 long-sea-voyage sailors as the research subjects, they are randomly divided into probiotics group (n = 11) and placebo group (n = 16). The intestinal LAB was detected by the combination of LAB specific primer amplification and PacBio SMRT sequencing technology A total of 57 genera and 160 species were detected in the intestines of 27 long-sea-voyage volunteers. At the species level, they were mainly composed of Streptococcus thermophilus(31.06%), Lactobacillus ruminis(9.31%), Streptococcus parasanguinis(6.90%), Streptococcus salivarius(4.11%), and Lactobacillus plantarum(3.47%). After the voyage, the number of unique OTUs in the probiotic group and the placebo group increased, and the composition of the intestinal flora changed, however, NMDS analysis showed that there was no significant difference in Lactobacillus structure between the probiotics group and the placebo group, However, the average relative abundance of some species changed significantly, such as Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus parasanguinis. Before the voyage, Streptococcus salivarius and Streptococcus thermophilus are the main LAB in the intestinal tract of seafarers. After ingestion of probiotics, the seafarers intestinal tract with low relative abundance was prone to change, and the relative abandance of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus fermentum in the intestinal tract were increased. This study showed that probiotics Probio-X■ intervention can significantly inhibit the growth of Streptococcus parasanguinis and Streptococcus sanguinis in the intestinal of seafarers during the long voyage. The intake of probiotics Probio-X■ will change the LAB intestinal type of seafarers, but this change depends on the type and basic amount of the original LAB in the intestine. By studying the effect of probiotics Probio-X■ on intestinal LAB diversity of seafarers during long voyage, we hope to provide a feasible way to maintain intestinal health of seafarers during long voyage.

    • Effect of Structural Characteristics of Polysaccharides from Seeds of Plantago asiatica L.on the Regulation of Intestinal Function in Mice

      2021, 21(9):79-88.

      Abstract (148) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Polysaccharides from Plantago asiatica L have good activities in intestinal function regulation, but there are few reports on their different effects because of the diverse structure. In this paper, high viscous arabinoxylan (PLCP), low viscous arabinoxylan (PLCP-M and PLWE-H), and non-arabinoxylan (PLWE-L) were prepared from the seeds of Plantago asiatica L. Animal experiments were applied to elucidate their effects on the intestinal function regulation of mice. The results showed that the intake of PLWE-L significantly increased the concentration of SCFA in colon and cecum contents, and increased the water content of feces. High viscous PLCP was more likely to play a role in the colon, which included increasing the concentration of total SCFAs in the colon, lowering pH value and improving water retention. While the low viscous components (PLCP-M and PLWE-L) probably played certain effects in the cecum. Therefore, there are some differences in effects of the four fractions on intestinal function regulation in mice. This study would provide theoretical support for the in-depth study on intestinal health of Plantago asiatica L. polysaccharide, and provide theoretical basis for the further development of related products.

      Abstract (293) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to clarify the hypolipidemic effect of Auricularia auricula and Auricularia auricula polysaccharides and its correlation with intestinal flora, 5-week-old healthy male SD rats were used as experimental subjects, which were divided into normal control diet group, high-fat diet group, Auricularia auricula intervention high-fat diet group and Auricularia auricular polysaccharide intervention high-fat diet group for 6 weeks. During the period, rats' body weight, food intake, and serum biochemical indicators were measured, liver, cecum contents, and feces were collected for pathological analysis and intestinal flora detection after dissection. The results showed that the intervention of Auricularia auricula and Auricularia auricula polysaccharides can significantly reduce the serum total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein content, increase the high density lipoprotein content, promote liver lipid metabolism, reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver of high fat diet rats, and the intervention of Auricularia auricular is the most significant; Both Auricularia auricula and its polysaccharides intervention significantly increased the content of short chain fatty acids in the cecum, it is speculated that it may be possible to increase the abundance of short chain fatty acid producing flora such as Parabacteroides and Bacteroides to produce beneficial shorty chain fatty acids to promote blood lipid metabolism; The two also significantly increased the abundance of Puniceicoccaceae or Asaccharobacter in the feces of rats, significantly reduced the abundance of pro-inflammatory bacteria Prevotella, and alleviated hepatitis and other inflammations and diseases caused by high-fat diet; Auricularia auricular also regulates the abundance of Ruminococcaceae related to obesity, which may be the reason for its more significant preventive effect on hyperlipidemia. This study clarified the mechanism of hypolipidemic effect of Auricularia auricula and Auricularia auricula polysaccharides from the aspects of intestinal flora regulation, and provided suggestions for dietary intervention to regulate the intestinal flora to improve blood lipid metabolism and feeding patterns.

      Abstract (173) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Astaxanthin has extraordinary antioxidant activity. However, there is a large gap between the chemical synthesis and natural astaxanthin in terms of function and safety. Therefore, the extraction of astaxanthin from natural biological resources has become the dominant market demand. At present, traditional methods for extracting natural astaxanthin has the disadvantages of high temperature and time-consuming, which is not conducive to maintaining the stability of the structure and function of astaxanthin. In this study, microemulsion systems with high biocompatibility were constructed at near room temperature with tetrabutylphosphonium trifluoroacetate ([P4444]CF3COO) or tributyloctylphosphonium bromide ([P4448]Br) as non-polar phase, lecithin and n-butanol as compound surfactants, and water as polar phase. Natural astaxanthin was extracted from Antarctic krill by the microemulsions. When the ultrasonic extraction time and power were 2 min and 100 W, respectively, the extraction yield of astaxanthin by using [P4444]CF3COO/lecithin/n-butanol/water (mass ratio = 0.2 ∶ 0.12 ∶ 0.48 ∶ 0.2) reached (48.21±0.07)μg/g (97.75%). The results have shown that the ionic-liquid-based microemulsion containing lecithin is beneficial to improve the solubility of hydrophobic molecules, and is an alternative solvent system to organic reagents. This study provides a new method for the extraction of natural astaxanthin.

      Abstract:The stability of probiotic powder during storage is an important factor for its industrial application. Objective: The Bifidobacterium lactis A04 (A04) probiotic powder was obtained by freeze drying. The changes of water, bacterial morphology of A04 freeze-dried powder at different storage temperatures and its influence on the survival of A04 strain were accessed. Method: six batches of A04 freeze-dried powders with different initial viable cell counts were selected, sealed in aluminum foil bags and stored at 4, 25, 37 ℃ for 105 days, respectively. Changes in water content, water activity, water distribution, bacterial morphology and viability of A04 powders were monitored. Pearson correlation analysis was performed on the monitoring results using SPSS software. Results: No matter what the storage temperature was, the water content of freeze-dried A04 powder did not change during storage for 105 days, but the water activity of A04 powder was significantly increased during storage at 25 ℃ and 37 ℃. The results of correlation analysis showed that the loss of viable cells was positively correlated with storage temperature and water activity during storage. When the water activity was between 0.03 and 0.1, the A04 powder had well storage stability. Damage to bacterial cell envelope was observed during storage, and the degree of cell damage was increased with the increase of storage temperature and storage time, and even partial cell lysis was observed. Conclusion: The survival of probiotic bacteria during storage was negatively correlated with the storage temperature as well as water activity, and the inactivation of bacteria was correlated with the damage of bacterial cells. Therefore, it is beneficial to prolong the shelf life of probiotic powders to control the probiotic powder in low water activity and keep it relatively stable.

      Abstract:This study determined the best pre-treatment approaches for egg sources by comparing the effects of different physical, chemical and physical-chemical coordinated disinfection method on the surface microorganisms of egg sources. The metagenomics technology was used to analyze the optimized disinfection methods before and after eggshell surface treatment population diversity. The results showed that the physical-chemical coordinated disinfection method had the best effect on the microorganisms on the surface of the egg source. By immersing the eggs in a 125 mg/L chlorine dioxide solution for 5 minutes and then rinsing at 65 °C with hot water for 120 s, the sterilization rate of microorganisms on the surface of the eggshell reached 99.9%, which marked best pre-treatment method. The microbial community richness and community diversity on the surface of the egg source after pretreatment were significantly reduced (P<0.05), with phylum level OTU reduced from 19 to 4, genus level OTU reduced from 258 to 29, and the abundance of Escherichia and Staphylococcus reduced to 0. The method can effectively kill the microorganisms on the surface of the eggshell and provides a good technical guarantee for the preservation and processing of egg products.

      Abstract:The cDNA fragments of Calpain-1, Calpain-2, Calpastatins, MuRF-1 and MuRF-2 in Pseudosciaena crocea were amplified and quantified by RACE-PCR and RT-PCR. Some partial coding sequence for large yellow croaker's five genes was determined and deposited in GenBank, we obtained the accessions and partial coding sequences as follow: Calpain-1(506 bp, no. KF527412), Calpain-2 (425 bp, no. KF527413), Calpastatin (724 bp, no. KF527409), MuRF-1 (401 bp, no. KF527410) and MuRF-2 (474 bp, no. KF527411), respectively. The analytical results of BLAST showed that the partial nucleotide sequence of Calpain-1 cDNA(506 bp) has 89% similarity with Oreochromis niloticus Calpain-1 (XM_003441017). The partial cDNA sequence for Calpain-2 is 425 bps long, and the sequence is also closely related to the known Calpain-2 from other species as it shares 89% similarity with Hippoglossus hippoglossus Calpain-2 (GQ327966). The nucleotide sequence of Calpastatin consists of 724 bps, and it displayed high sequence homology with the previously reported Calpastatin in other species with 94% similarity with Dicentrarchus labrax(FQ310506). The nucleotide sequence of MuRF-1 cDNA is 401 bps in length and the sequence shows 82% similarity with Salmo salar (NM_001279046). The cDNA sequence for MuRF-2 is 474 bps, and it shares 84% similarity with Oreochromis niloticus(XM_003458136). In our study, the four gene-specific mRNA levels had either a longer post-mortem interval or a slower decreasing speed in the TP samples than in those in the control samples, except that no differences were observed in the mRNA level of the Calpain-2 gene when assessed with respect to the post-mortem storage time. The preservation effect of tea polyphenols(TP) on large yellow croaker fillets is partly due to the effect of TP on the corresponding mRNA stability fillets, thus effectively controlling the freshness of fish during refrigeration.

      Abstract (133) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of ginger extract (GE) on antioxidant properties of squid myofibrillar protein (MFP) by a Fenton reactive system (FRS) at different H2O2 concentration. It was evaluated through the measurement of carbonyl, totoal sulfhydryl group, surface hydrophobicity and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The result indicated that GE was able to inhibit the oxidation of MFP, while the close interaction between GE and MFP impacted on its resistance to oxidation and structure. The addition of GE significantly inhibited carbonyl formation and the increase of surface hydrophobicity in dose-dependent manner(P<0.05), while it accelerated the decrease of protein sulfhydryl group and Ca2+-ATPase activity (P<0.05), which is due to the formation of thiol-quione adducts. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis exhibited that the cross-linking between GE and protein was reducible.

      Abstract (227) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:A new method of rapid monitoring the interaction between food components and macrophages was developed based on capillary zone electrophoresis. Previously, a method was established for rapid separation and quantification of self-assembled nanoparticles from freshwater clam (Corbicula fluminea Muller) soup by capillary zone electrophoresis. This study used the same technique to separate and analyze the rat peritoneal macrophages and multiple-scale components of freshwater clam soup and the direct interaction between the cells and the soup, during and after the co-incubation. The profile of soup components and the electrophoretic behavior and morphology of macrophages were monitored. The results indicate that macrophages were separated into fractions with distinguishable migration time, which was elongated by the elevated cell numbers. Macrophages engulfed the soluble components and nanoparticles of clam soup. The average number of nanoparticles engulfment per cell was 8.7×102 particles at 24 h and 2.13×103 particles at 48 h. The clam soup components stimulated the secretion of macrophages, while the nanoparticles decreased the cellular surface charge, accelerated the electrophoretic mobility and promoted the cell differentiation. In summary, capillary zone electrophoresis is capable of rapid monitoring the interaction between the multiple-scale food components and macrophages, quantifying the subsequent changes occurred in the components, particles numbers and their surface properties. It demonstrated a promising new approach for rapid analysis of the direct food-human interaction.

      Abstract (111) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:105 samples of soybean oil were prepared by adding phosphatidic acid to first-grade soybean oil, and the content of phosphatidic acid was determined. The terahertz spectrum of the sample was collected. Compared with the reference signal, the Terahertz (THz) wave has different degrees of delay in time after passing through the sample, and the terahertz wave amplitude has decreased to varying degrees. The presence of phosphatidic acid increases the absorption of terahertz waves in soybean oil samples. The higher the content of phosphatidic acid in the sample, the lower the frequency-domain spectral amplitude. There is a more obvious characteristic absorption peak at 1.58 THz. Qualitative analysis of phosphatidic acid in samples can be performed using terahertz spectroscopy. The first and second derivatives were used to pre-process the absorption spectra of the 91 samples remaining after excluding abnormal samples. As input variables, a mathematical model was established using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The prediction coefficient(R2) of the prediction set is 0.9980, the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of the prediction set is 0.0813, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) is 8.16%, which can accurately predict the content of phosphatidic acid in soybean oil.

      2021, 21(9):346-351.

      Abstract (237) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Metabolic syndrome is a metabolic abnormal disease containing multiple components, and its incidence rate is gradually increasing. Bioactive substances in marine food, such as marine polysaccharides, bioactive peptides and saponins, have been paid more and more attention because of its unique structure and hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-hypertensive and immune regulation. The mechanism of improving metabolic syndrome by marine polysaccharides, bioactive peptides and saponins in marine food are summarized to provide reference to the applications of these bioactive substances. For example, marine polysaccharides improve glycolipid metabolism by regulating the composition of intestinal flora and degradation into short chain fatty acids. The mechanism is that Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and other beneficial bacteria improve the related functions of intestinal tract and immune system, as well as the combination of short chain fatty acids and G-protein-coupled receptor 40 family. By regulating the secretion of satiety hormone, it can reduce appetite and increase energy consumption, so as to improve metabolic syndrome and achieve balance between quantity and metabolism.

      Abstract:Tibet kefir(TK) is a kind of yoghurt fermented by Tibet kefir grains (TKG), which consist of lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and acetic acid bacteria. TK is traditional fermented milk in pastoral area in China with the aroma of milk and bouquet, which also has foaming property and probiotic function. Therefore, it has a reputation as Champagne yoghurt. However, TK has not been industrialized because of the complicated microbial composition and the uncontrollable fermentation. Artificial TK starter with specific microbial composition and controlled fermentation need to be developed. In this paper, three construction hypotheses of TKG were deduced and they were biofilm hypothesis, aggregation hypothesis and symbiosis hypothesis. Besides, the possible reasons for the failure of artificial grain construction were analyzed, together with the assumed hypotheses, which could shed light on the formation mechanism and be conducive to artificial construction of TKG.

      Abstract:Pulsed light is an emerging non-thermal sterilization technology. It uses the instantaneous high-energy pulsed light to achieve the sterilization effect, without chemical residue and having good sterilization effect. At the same time, it has a good maintenance effect on the nutrients in food, especially the antioxidant substances. This article combined the research of the past ten years to review the sterilization effect of pulsed light treatment on common microorganisms in foods such as bacteria, fungi and viruses, the effect of pulsed light treatment on food quality such as color, hardness, flavor, total phenol and antioxidant substances and the influence factors affecting the efficiency of pulsed light treatment by packaging materials and food contact surfaces, which would provide a basis for the practical application of pulsed light sterilization technology in food production.

      Abstract:Objective: In order to summarize the clinical research on regulatory effect of Lactobacillus reuteri on immunity in recent decades through meta-analysis, and to explore the regulatory effect of L. reuteri on the immune function of organism. Methods: Literature searches were conducted through 5 databases including Medline, SCI, Wan-Fang data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Chinese Biological Medical databases. Review Manager version 5.3 was used to organize data and statistical analysis of included randomized controlled trials. A P value less than 0.05 in confidence interval method was considered statistically significant. Results: 6 references and 13 RCTs were included in this work after researching. The number of subjects included in the meta-analysis was 740, with 362 for the control group and 378 for the probiotics. Mean differences observed between probiotic-receivers and control at 95% confidence interval: TNF-α,-3.09 pg/mL ([-4.17,-2.02]; P<0.0001); IL-6,-4.49 pg/mL ([-7.08,-1.90]; P<0.0001); IL-1β,-8.72 pg/mL ([-12.53,-4.92];P<0.0001); IL-8, -69.71 pg/mL ([-103.84, -35.58]; P<0.0001). Conclusion: L. reuteri has a certain regulatory effect on the subjects' immunity.

    • Survey of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice on Food Safety Among Food Employees in China

      Abstract:Objective: To investigate the current status of food safety knowledge, attitude and behavior (KAP) among food practitioners in China and explore their influencing factors, therefor providing reference for the development of measures aimed to improve food safety. Methods: A questionnaire survey of food safety KAP covering 15 provinces in China was conducted among food practitioners from abattoirs, aquatic products processing plant, dairy processing plant and restaurants, and the results were analyzed using statistical methods. Results: The scores of food safety knowledge was relatively low, while that of attitude and practice were relatively high. Except for major, all other factors like gender, age, educational level, years of employment, region and training had significantly influenced the KAP scores to varying extent. Conclusion: The effect of training on the improvement of KAP scores was significant, however, the implementation of the existing regulatory requirements on training needs to be further enhanced. The managers of food enterprises should take corresponding measures to increase the performance of food employees with low KAP scores, so as to ensure food safety.
