Effect of guar gum-chitosan composites edible coating functionalized with essential oils on the postharvest shelf life of Khasi mandarin at ambient condition
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Oct 16:127489. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127489. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the present study, the effects of guar gum (0.7 %):chitosan (0.3 %) based composite edible coating functionalized with coconut oil and essential oils like clove bud oil and cinnamon bark oil were investigated on the postharvest shelf life of Khasi mandarins at ambient conditions (25 ± 5 °C, RH 75 ± 5 %) up to 20 days of storage period. The postharvest characteristics such as weight loss, firmness, acidity, total soluble solids (TSS) and reducing sugar of control and treated fruits were evaluated at 5 days inter...

Comparative study on the in vitro digestion of different lipids in starch-based Pickering emulsions
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Oct 9:127340. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127340. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStarch-based Pickering stabilizer has attracted more attentions due to its health-friendly attribute. Lipid digestion in Pickering emulsion is the key to its delivery ability for active substances. Herein, in vitro oral-gastric-intestinal digestions of Pickering emulsions stabilized by starch particles with different oil phases (e.g., coconut, corn, olive, and sunflower oils) were investigated. The highest rate of lipid digestion was coconut oil (25.71 %), followed by olive (12.64 %), corn (11.16 %), and sunflower (8....

Vitamin C Improves Inflammatory-related Redox Status in Hyperlipidemic Rats
Indian J Clin Biochem. 2023 Oct;38(4):512-518. doi: 10.1007/s12291-022-01070-8. Epub 2022 Sep 6.ABSTRACTExcessive dietary fat is mainly responsible for metabolic diseases including atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. We have evaluated the role of Vitamin C in an experimental hyperlipidemic model of rats (male Wistar rat 12-16 months). The hyperlipidemic model of the rat was created by treatment with an atherogenic suspension: cholesterol, cholic acid, and coconut oil, for 30 days once daily, and supplemented with Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) doses of 0.5 g/kg body weight (orally) for the 30 days once daily. Bodyweight...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 4681: Decanoic Acid Exerts Its Anti-Tumor Effects via Targeting c-Met Signaling Cascades in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Model
Kwang Seok Ahn DA, one of the medium-chain fatty acids found in coconut oil, is suggested to have diverse biochemical functions. However, its possible role as a chemoprevention agent in HCC has not been deciphered. Aberrant activation of c-Met can modulate tumor growth and progression in HCC. Here, we report that DA exhibited pro-found anti-tumor effects on human HCC through the suppression of HGF/c-Met signaling cascades in vitro and in vivo. It was noted that DA inhibited HGF-induced activation of c-Met and its downstream signals. DA induced apoptotic cell death and inhibited the expression of diverse tumorigenic pr...
