Performance analysis and structural characterization of flaxseed gum/chitosan/cinnamaldehyde composite films
The low mechanical strength, water deficiency, and oxidative protection of organic membranes impede their use as food-grade packaging materials. Cinnamaldehyde (CIN) tends to lose its activity owing to its ins... (Source: Chemistry Central Journal)

Genome of Linum usitatissimum convar. crepitans expands the view on the section Linum
Sequencing whole plant genomes provides a solid foundation for applied and basic studies. Genome sequences of agricultural plants attract special attention, as they reveal information on the regulation of beneficial plant traits. Flax is a valuable crop cultivated for oil and fiber. Genome sequences of its representatives are rich sources of genetic information for the improvement of cultivated forms of the plant. In our work, we sequenced the first genome of flax with the dehiscence of capsules—Linum usitatissimum convar. сrepitans (Boenn.) Dumort—on the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) and Illumina platforms. We o...

Pickering emulsions stabilized by chitosan-flaxseed gum-hyaluronic acid nanoparticles for controlled topical release of ferulic acid
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Nov 17:128086. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128086. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChitosan (CS) based nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated via an ionic gelation reaction modified by flaxseed gum (FG) or sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). The average particle size, morphology, interfacial tension, and wettability of NPs were characterized. The particle size of CS-STPP-HA (hyaluronic acid)-FA (ferulic acid) NPs and CS-FG-HA-FA NPs was 400.8 nm and 262.4 nm, respectively under the optimized conditions of CS/STPP = 5:1 (w/w) or CS/FG = 1:1 (v/v) with HA concentration of 0.25 mg/mL and FA dosage of 25 μM....

Blood and tissue docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) turnover rates from Ahiflower ® oil are not different than from DHA ethyl ester oil in a diet switch mouse model
In this study, we use compound-specific isotope analysis to determine tissue DHA synthesis/turnover from Ahiflower, flaxseed and DHA oils. Pregnant BALB/c mice (13-17 days) were placed on a 2 % algal DHA oil diet of high carbon-13 content (δ13C) and pups (n = 132) were maintained on the diet until 9 weeks old. Mice were then randomly allocated to a low δ13C-n-3 PUFA diet of either: 1) 4 % Ahiflower oil, 2) 4.35 % flaxseed oil or 3) 1 % fish DHA ethyl ester oil for 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60 or 120 days (n = 6). Serum, liver, adipose and brains were collected and DHA levels and δ13C were determined. DHA concentrations were high...

Vegetable oil-based surfactants are adjuvants that enhance the efficacy of neonicotinoid insecticides and can bias susceptibility testing in adult mosquitoes
Conclusions/SignificanceOur findings indicate that surfactants are not inert ingredients, and their use in susceptibility testing may jeopardize the ability to detect resistance. Further research is needed to evaluate the potential, the limitations and the challenges of using some surfactants as adjuvants to enhance the potency of some chemicals applied in mosquito control.

Synthesis of flaxseed gum/melanin-based scaffold: A novel approach for nano-encapsulation of doxorubicin with enhanced anticancer activity
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Nov 9:127964. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127964. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDoxorubicin is a powerful chemotherapy medicine that is frequently used to treat cancer, but because of its extremely destructive side effects on other healthy cells, its applications have been severely constrained. With the aim of using lower therapeutic doses of doxorubicin while maintaining the same anti-cancerous activity as those of higher doses, the present study designs nano-encapsulation of doxorubicin by acrylamide grafted melanin as core and acrylic acid grafted flax seed gum as shell (DOX@AAM-g-ML/AA-g-FSG-...

Br J Nutr. 2023 Nov 8:1-41. doi: 10.1017/S0007114523002581. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInadequate intake of age-specific energy and nutrients is among the prime immediate causes of child malnutrition. Thus, this study aimed to determine the energy, protein and iron densities of pre-processed dabi teff-field pea-based optimized novel complementary flour and its contribution to daily energy and nutrient demand by 6-8 months, 9-11 and 12-23 months old children. The optimal formula at overall optimization was identified to be 34.66% dabi teff, 25% barley, 15% oats, 15.34% field pea, 5% linseed and 5% maize with response val...
