Abstract:
... Hyaluronic acid (HA) is key to the stability of the internal environment of tissues. HA content in tissues gradually decreases with age, causing age-related health problems. Exogenous HA supplements are used to prevent or treat these problems including skin dryness and wrinkles, intestinal imbalance, xerophthalmia, and arthritis after absorption. Moreover, some probiotics are able to promote endog ...

Abstract:
... Folate deficiency is commonly observed in most developing countries. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation of cereal-based foods could be an alternative to improving folate intake. This study evaluated the possibility of improving the folate contents of traditional African fermented sorghum gruel (motoho) using indigenous potential probiotic LAB. A total of 220 LAB strains isolated from maize gr ...
... With the worldwide emergence of health challenges facing humanity in the form of associated immunity and intestinal health, the utilization of effective probiotics is becoming prevalent. We developed a sustainable, biocompatible, rigid, and long-lasting enteric coating system using pH-responsive natural-based materials, shellac (Sh), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) which could be utilized as a ca ...
... Bdellovibrio are obligate predators of Gram-negative bacteria that could parasitize other bacteria and cause their lysis. It has been considered as a potential probiotic and may replace antibiotics. In order to better explore the inhibitory activity of Bdellovibrio against common aquatic pathogens and its potential use in aquaculture, the Aeromonas hydrophilia was used as the host bacteria for cul ...
... In this study, shell-core fibers were successfully prepared by using Eudragit S100 (ES100) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/pectin (PEC) through coaxial electrospinning technology. The electrospun fiber was characterized by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the coaxial electrospun ...

Abstract:
... Protein-polysaccharide conjugates formed by the Maillard reaction can be used as novel emulsifiers in the emulsion systems. However, understanding of the regulatory effects of the Maillard conjugates on gut microbiota is limited. The purposes of this work were to prepare a novel emulsifier (WPI-GA-C) formed by conjugation of whey protein isolate (WPI) and gum Arabic (GA) via the dry heating method ...
... Metabolic diseases caused by high-fat diet (HFD) have been a major problem currently in aquaculture. Nucleotides have been used as functional nutrients to improve the growth and health of fish,such as stimulating immune responses, such as immune cells and complement lytic activity. In this experiment, we supplemented solid fermentation product of Bacillus velezensis T23 and nuclease-treated Bacill ...

Abstract:
... Cypermethrin (CYP), a prototypical synthetic pyrethroid, reportedly causes metabolic disruption, while its stereoselective impact remains elusive. This study initially revealed that only α-CYP caused significant weight loss at 8.5 mg/(kg•day) in rats. All three CYP isomers caused the accumulation of hepatic glycogen, and hyperlipemia phenotype as the increment of total triglyceride. Rats treated w ...
... Microcapsules can provide better protection for probiotics during freeze-drying and gastrointestinal digestion. This study aims to investigate the effect of microencapsulation using the product of the Maillard reaction of whey protein and carboxymethylated dextran (CM. dex) on the viability of Lactobacillus plantarum LP90 (Lₚ) as related to freeze-drying, gastrointestinal tolerability and storage ...
... Selection of the appropriate strain for particular aquatic animals is necessary for the desirable benefits of probiotics application in aquaculture, however, it is not very clear whether fish-derived probiotics could provide beneficial effects on invertebrates. In the present study, two fish-derived probiotics, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and Lactococcus lactis, were administrated as feed additive ...

Abstract:
... Polybrominated diphenyl ether has become a widespread environmental pollutant in aquatic environments. BDE-209, a prominent PBDEs found in the environment and wildlife, has been proven to cause oxidative stress, immune damage and endocrine system disorders in fish. However, the effects of BDE-209 on the intestinal health of fish remain unclear. This research aimed to determine the effects of BDE-2 ...

Abstract:
... Gellan gum (GG) is an anionic polysaccharide used as an additive in the food industry. However, the effect of GG on gut microbiota regulation and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has not yet been investigated. In vitro fermentation experiments have demonstrated that GG promoted the growth of probiotic strains such as Lactiplantibacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, producing meta ...

Abstract:
... Extrusion technology is applied to improve the utilization of soy products, providing an alternative to fish meal (FM) as a component of feed. In this study, a 60-day feeding of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) was conducted to evaluate the effects of the partial substitution of FM with extruded full-fat soybean (EFS) on growth performance, digestion capacities, intestinal microbiota, and aquaculture ...
... Probiotics, with their associated beneficial effects, have gained popularity for the control of foodborne pathogens. Various sources are explored with the intent to isolate novel robust probiotic strains with a broad range of health benefits due to, among other mechanisms, the production of an array of antimicrobial compounds. One of the shortcomings of these wild-type probiotics is their non-spec ...
