), extraction solvent, precipitation and purification techniques and even by the final drying process (spray, freeze, vacuum, etc.) which may alter molecular weights, conformations and surface properties. Latest studies have investigated solubility, emulsifying, foaming, water/oil holding capacity and surface properties and also antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic, hypocholesterolemic, antihypertensive, immunomodulatory and opioid activities of bioactive peptides obtained from plant by-products. Moreover, the application of the bioactive peptides into different food formulations has been a recent trend of functional food development. These bioactive peptides' bitter taste and toxicity are possible challenges in some cases that need to be resolved before their wider utilization.Saccharum Granorum (YiTang) is a nutrient-rich food which could significantly treat chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). However, its mechanism remains unclear. In the present work, a mitochondria-specific metabolomics approach based on ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole - Exactive mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q exactive MS) was carried out to evaluate its protection against energy dysfunction induced by CAG. Sixteen endogenous metabolites were firstly screened out to characterize the mitochondria dysfunction associated with CAG. Pretreatment of YiTang could significantly regulate these targeted metabolites involved into fatty acid β-oxidation pathway and amino acid metabolism. Network pharmacology further showed the upstream proteins related to these targeted metabolites exerted good affinities with ingredients of YiTang. These findings provided a unique perspective on localized metabolic regulation of YiTang in rats with CAG, which gave us new insights into the pathogenesis of CAG, and its targets for clinical diagnosis and treatment.In recent years, new probiotic-related concepts such as postbiotics and paraprobiotics have been used to describe non-viable microorganisms or bacterial-free extracts that may provide benefits to the host by offering bioactivities additional to probiotics. However, several aspects related to these postbiotics and paraprobiotics bioactivities remain unexplored or are poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this work is to provide an overview of the general aspects and emerging trends of postbiotics and paraprobiotics, such as conceptualization of terms, production, characterization, bioactivities, health-promoting effects, bioengineering approaches, and applications. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that some postbiotics and paraprobiotics exhibit bioactivities such as anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-proliferative, antioxidant, and antimicrobial. These bioactivities could be involved in health-promoting effects observed in human and clinical trials, but despite the scientific evidence available, the mechanisms of action and the signaling pathways involved have not been fully elucidated. Nevertheless, paraprobiotics and postbiotics possess valuable potential for the development of biotechnological products with functional ingredients for the nutraceutical industry.Thymus algeriensis Bioss &amp; Reut is an Algerian native plant traditionally used for culinary and medicinal purposes. To evaluate the in vivo antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of T. algeriensis, phenolic compounds were extracted using hydromethanolic solutions and administrated to Swiss albinos mice. It was observed that the plasma antioxidant capacity increased, as well as catalase and glutathione levels, whereas malondialdehyde decreased. In vitro assays confirmed that the extract scavenged 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH• (7 µg/mL), chelated (EC50 512 µg/mL) and reduced iron ions (5.3 mM FeSO4/g), and inhibited β-carotene bleaching (90% at 2 mg/mL). Antibacterial effects were also observed towards Salmonella typhimurium and Proteus mirabilis. However, the methanolic fraction obtained by reversed solid phase cartridge, showed antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (MIC = 9.37 mg/mL), Proteus mirabilis (MIC = 4.68 mg/mL), Salmonella typhimurium (MIC = 7.06 mg/mL), Micrococcus luteus (MIC = 7.03 mg/mL), and Bacillus cereus (MIC = 2.34 mg/mL). UHPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn analysis showed that these properties could result from rosmarinic acid, caffeoyl rosmaniric acid, and kaempferol and eriodictyol glycoside derivatives. These results pave the way for the understanding of T. algeriensis traditional applications and its use for the development of novel food applications.Sea cucumber is a sensitive organism that is easily challenged by environmental change. The aim of this study was to characterize the proteome of sea cucumbers from 5 main Chinese origins, including Xiamen (XM), Dalian (DL), Weihai (WH), Yantai (YT) and Qingdao (QD). In this work, a tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling proteomic approach was applied to identify and quantify the proteome of sea cucumber. A total of 5051 proteins were identified in the body wall; among those proteins, 1594 proteins (31.6%) were identified as enzyme proteins, and 33 proteins belonged to collagen. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/omaveloxolone-rta-408.html find more] In addition, the 10 most highly abundant proteins were further discussed. Among all quantified proteins, 2266 were significantly differentially expressed proteins (SDEPs) across the 5 origins. These SDEPs were related to pigmentation (5 proteins), antioxidant activity (13 proteins), and immune system processes (29 proteins). Based on SDEPs, DL differed the most from QD and XM, as well as WH and YT, as shown in principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering. In conclusion, one-fourth of the significantly different proteins found in the sea cucumber body wall among the 5 main Chinese locations indicated the sensitivity of sea cucumber to variations in temperature, environment, and feeding.This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chemical, enzymatic, chemical-enzymatic, ultrasound-assisted enzymatic, and shear emulsifying-assisted enzymatic extraction methods on the physicochemical, structural, and functional properties of soluble dietary fiber from coffee peel. We found that the highest extraction yield of soluble dietary fiber was obtained using the shear emulsifying-assisted enzymatic method, and that similar protein contents were obtained from coffee peel using the enzymatic and shear emulsifying-assisted enzymatic methods. Compared with the other extraction methods, shear emulsifying-assisted enzymatic processing resulted in a higher water-holding capacity (7.05 g/g) and oil-holding capacity (3.61 g/g), but a lower emulsifying capacity (58.50%) when compared with that of chemical, enzymatic, and chemical-enzymatic processings. The soluble dietary fiber obtained from coffee peel using shear emulsifying-assisted enzymatic extraction was also characterized by the highest glucose absorption activity (228.
