Abstract:
... Food nutrients and bioactive compounds have been widely explored due to the increased prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases. Antioxidant supplementation might be a crucial non-pharmacological strategy against oxidative stress. However, although some assays evaluate the antioxidant potential of a particular food or food compound, in vivo responses related to oxidative stress in the body m ...

Abstract:
... Marine algae are valuable sources of health-promoting molecules that have been consumed by Asians for decades. Among aquatic flora, marine algae stand out in terms of high content of marine algae polysaccharides (MAP) such as carrageenan, alginate, fucoidan, laminaran, agarose, rhamnan, and ulvan. When hydrolyzed, MAP generate marine algae oligosaccharides (MAO), which have attracted interest in r ...
... The effect of Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide (TFP) on the retrogradation property and aroma profile changes of tteok during storage was investigated. Results indicated that addition of TFP significantly increased the stability to thermal and mechanical shearing of starch, decreased short-term retrogradation, the hardness and the retrogradation enthalpy (ΔH) of tteok during storage, but had no ...

Abstract:
... Proanthocyanidin’s molecular characteristics, especially mean degree of polymerization (mDP), have a high impact on their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Nevertheless, the mDP of proanthocyanidin’s extracts obtained from the same plant species can change due to the use of different plant varieties or by using plant material grown in different conditions/locations leading to extracts ...
... A novel strain, Nitratireductor sp. GZWM139 capable of efficient removal of SMX was isolated from mariculture sewage, and Nitratireductor was reported to conduct the removal of antibiotics for the first time. Strain GZWM139 exhibited desirable adaptations to environmental factors with SMX removal efficiencies more than 90 % at temperatures of 28–38 °C, pH values of 4.5–8.5, salinities of 20–30 ‰, ...

Abstract:
... Studies in recent years have shown that aquatic pollution by microplastics (MPs) can be considered to pose additional stress to amphibian populations. However, our knowledge of how MPs affect amphibians is very rudimentary, and even more limited is our understanding of their effects in combination with other emerging pollutants. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the possible toxicity of polyethylene MPs ...
