Biodegradable antifungal films from nanocellulose-gellan gum incorporated with Anethum graveolens essential oil for bread packaging
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Jun 6:125244. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125244. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBiodegradable material incorporated with antifungal essential oil has become an alternative food preservation approach to reduce plastic waste. Essential oils of Amomum testaceum, Anethum graveolens, Piper longum, Kaempferia galanga, and Zanthoxylum limonella were tested for their antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger. A. graveolens essential oil demonstrated the highest inhibition zone diameter of 43.51 mm against A. niger after seven days comparing to those obtained from other essential oils ranging from 10....

Biohythane production from pineapple peel using Methanosarcina mazei enhanced with palm oil mill effluent (POME) sludge in single ‐stage anaerobic digestion
This study focuses on the effects of the lignocellulosic pre-treatment method, the addition of POME sludge intoM. mazei culture medium as inoculum, and various operational conditions (food to microorganisms (F/M) ratios, temperature, pH) on gas production performances. The experimental results indicate that these parameters influenced the efficiency of biohythane production by producing the peak maximum biohythane production rate values (HPRmax) and (MPRmax), H2:CH4 = 1.93:0.67 L/L-d, and biohythane yield (HY) and (MY), H2:CH4 = 1.18:0.55 mL/L-substrate. This study demonstrates that biohythane gas (H2 + CH4 + CO2) ...

GSE205428 Unveiling the molecular mechanism involving anthocyanins in pineapple peel discoloration during fruit maturation
Contributors : Aiping Luan ; Wei Zhang ; Mingzhe Yang ; Ziqin Zhong ; Jing Wu ; Yehua He ; Junhu HeSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Ananas comosusPeel color is a key factor that affects the fruit ’s aesthetic and economic values. In Red Sugar pineapple, the peels’ red color reduces during maturation. Limited knowledge is available on the regulation of pineapple peel discoloration, which makes it important to study the molecular mechanisms associated with this important trait. Here, we re port that a decrease in anthocyanin biosynthesis is predominantly associated with th...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 4322: Mechanisms of Action of Fruit and Vegetable Phytochemicals in Colorectal Cancer Prevention
sorio
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide and its incidence is expected to increase by almost 80% by 2030. CRC apparition is related to poor diet, mainly due to low consumption of phytochemicals present in fruits and vegetables. Hence, this paper reviews the most promising phytochemicals in the literature, presenting scientific evidence regarding potential CRC chemopreventive effects. Moreover, this paper reveals the structure and action of CRC mechanisms that these phytochemicals are involved in. The review reveals that vegetables rich in phytochemicals such as carrots and green leafy veg...

Characterization of the anti-pathogenic, genomic and phenotypic properties of a < i > Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus < /i > VHProbi M14 isolate
by Jingyan Zhang, Kailing Li, Xinping Bu, Shumin Cheng, Zhi Duan
A strain of lactic acid bacteria from cheese was isolated, that showed strong growth inhibitory effects onStreptococcus mutans. The API 50CH system and 16S rDNA sequencing verified that this was a novel strain, and was namedLacticaseibacillus rhamnosus VHProbi M14. The strain inhibited the growth ofS.mutans andFusobacterium nucleatum under mixed culture conditions, coaggregated withS.mutans andF.nucleatum, and reduced the adhesion ofS.mutans andF.nucleatum on cultured human primary gingival epithelial (HPGE) cells. The pH, peroxidase and protease sensitivity...

Systematic optimization of biochars derived from corn wastes, pineapple leaf, and sugarcane bagasse for Cu(II) adsorption through response surface methodology
This study investigates the critical pyrolysis parameters of biochar derived from agricultural waste. Optimized biochar showed maximum Cu(II) adsorption capacity of 60.7, 36.8, and 35.5 mg g-1 by PLB, SBB, and CWB at pyrolysis temperatures of 555 ℃, 559 ℃, 507 ℃, respectively, compared with commercial activated carbon (CAC, 40.8 mg g-1). Surface characterization confirmed surface complexation, electrostatic interaction, and cation exchange capacity as Cu(II) removal mechanisms. The presence of humic acid reduced the Cu(II) removal of both CAC and optimized biochars. Optimized PLB displayed high reusability (87% Cu(II...

Valorization of pineapple peel waste for fungal pigment production using Talaromyces albobiverticillius: Insights into antibacterial, antioxidant and textile dyeing properties
Environ Res. 2023 Apr 21:115973. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115973. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study explores natural pigments as sustainable alternatives to synthetic textile dyes. Due to their therapeutic applications and easy production, fungal pigments have gained attention. However, data on pigment production using solid-state fermentation and optimization is limited. Milk whey was used to grow Talaromyces sp., followed by an evaluation of pigment production in solid and liquid media. Pineapple peels were used as a cost-effective substrate for pigment production, and a one-factor-at-a-time approach was ...
