Antioxidant activity and calcium bioaccessibility of Moringa oleifera leaf hydrolysate, as a potential calcium supplement in food Food Sci. Biotechnol. (IF 1.513) Pub Date : 2020-09-05 Ye-Rang Yun, Su-Jin Oh, Min-Jung Lee, Yun-Jung Choi, Sung Jin Park, Mi-Ai Lee, Sung-Gi Min, Hye-Young Seo, Sung-Hee Park
Moringa oleifera leaf (ML) is rich in vitamins and minerals, specially abundant calcium, therefore it is widely used as a calcium supplement for food. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant activity and calcium bioaccessibility of M. oleifera leaf hydrolysate (MLH) as a calcium supplement for kimchi. MLH was prepared under three different proteases, two different protease contents, and three

Neuroprotective effect of Allium hookeri against H 2 O 2 -induced PC12 cell cytotoxicity by reducing oxidative stress Food Sci. Biotechnol. (IF 1.513) Pub Date : 2020-08-29 Sang Ho Rho, SoHyeon You, Gun-Hee Kim, Hyun Jin Park
In this study, the anti-oxidative and neuro-protective effects of ethanolic extracts of the dried roots of Allium hookeri were investigated. Total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents of A. hookeri extract depended on the ethanol concentrations used (50, 70 and 95%). In order to evaluate radical scavenging activity, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays and ferric reducing powers were evaluated

Understanding the effects of dietary components on the gut microbiome and human health Food Sci. Biotechnol. (IF 1.513) Pub Date : 2020-08-29 Bryna Rackerby, Hyun Jung Kim, David C. Dallas, Si Hong Park
The gut microbiome is the complex microbial ecosystem found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. It plays a vital role in host development, physiology and metabolism, and has been implicated as a factor in brain function, behavior, mental health, and many disease states. While many factors, including host genetics and environmental factors, contribute to the composition of the gut microbiome

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of phenolic compounds extracted from lemon myrtle ( Backhousia citriodora ) leaves at various extraction conditions Food Sci. Biotechnol. (IF 1.513) Pub Date : 2020-08-29 Eun-Jung Kang, Jae-Kwon Lee, Hye-Ryung Park, Hoon Kim, Hyun-Seok Kim, Jiyong Park
Lemon myrtle leaves were extracted with ethanol at different temperatures (25, 50, and 80 °C) and times (2, 4, 6, and 10 h) to examine the effect of extraction conditions on total polyphenol contents (TPC), total flavonoid contents (TFC), their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activities, and amount of phenolic compounds. Under optimal extraction conditions (80 °C and 6 h), the values were 23.37%, 102

The influence of endogenous cathepsin in different subcellular fractions on the quality deterioration of Northern pike ( Esox lucius ) fillets during refrigeration and partial freezing storage Food Sci. Biotechnol. (IF 1.513) Pub Date : 2020-08-29 Hengheng Qiu, Xin Guo, Xiaorong Deng, Xiaobing Guo, Xiaoying Mao, Chengjian Xu, Jian Zhang
The purpose of this study was to investigate the endogenous cathepsin activity in each subcellular fraction and the effect of this activity on myofibrillar protein and texture during refrigeration and partial freezing storage of northern pike (Esox lucius) fillets. The results showed that fillets stored under the refrigerated condition were more susceptible to oxidation than partial freezing. Endogenous

Comparison of gamma irradiation and heating treatment on cytotoxicity, insulinotropic activity, and molecular structure change of mistletoe viscothionin Food Sci. Biotechnol. (IF 1.513) Pub Date : 2020-08-16 Jong-Heum Park, Jae-Kyung Kim, Beom-Seok Song
Mistletoe offers health-promoting effects; however, it has toxicity, requiring careful application. Viscothionin is a polypeptide of mistletoe that while contributing to toxicity also demonstrates anti-cancer and anti-diabetic activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether gamma irradiation or heating treatment could selectively reduce viscothionin-mediated cytotoxicity. Gamma irradiation
