Phloretin suppresses intestinal inflammation and maintained epithelial tight junction integrity by modulating cytokines secretion in in vitro model of gut inflammation
In this study we have explored the anti-inflammatory potential of phloretin, in in vitro gut inflammation model, developed by co-culture of Caco2 (intestinal epithelial) cells and RAW264.7 macrophages (immune cells). Phloretin is a dihydrochalcone present in apple, pear and strawberries. An anti-inflammatory effect of phloretin in reducing LPS induced inflammation and maintenance of transepithelial electric resistance (TEER) in Caco2 cells was examined. Paracellular permeability assay was performed using Lucifer yellow dye to evaluate the effect of phloretin in inhibiting gut leakiness caused by inflammatory mediators secr...

Development of Plantago ovata seed mucilage and xanthan gum-based edible coating with prominent optical and barrier properties
This study investigates the fabrication of edible coating based on Plantago ovata seed mucilage (POSM). The films were prepared from POSM (1 %, w/v), glycerol (75 %, based on POSM mass), and xanthan gum (XG: 20, 30 and 40 %, based on POSM mass) by a casting method, and their physicochemical, mechanical, thermal, morphological, and barrier properties were determined. Results indicated the development of highly transparent (transparency values: 1.36 ± 0.05 to 2.42 ± 0.09) and hydrophobic films (contact angle: 101.57 ± 0.34 to107.08 ± 0.55o) with very low water vapor permeability (WVP: 2.77 ± 0.02 × 10-12 to 1.98 ± 0.0...

All-naturally structured tough, ultrathin, and washable dual-use composite for fruits preservation with high biosafety evaluation
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Jul 13:125828. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125828. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis work develops a sustainable and global strategy to enhance fruit preservation efficacy. The dual-use composite coating or film comprises silk fibroin/cellulose nanocrystals (SF/CNC) with superior ductility through a synergistic plasticizing effect of glycerol and natural aloe-emodin powder (AE) as antimicrobial agents. To confirm our strategy, two common fruit preservation materials (edible surface coating-SCA-CS; packaging film-SCA-PF) and five different fruits (strawberries, bananas, apples, blueberries, and g...

Early detection of Botrytis cinerea in strawberry fruit during quiescent infection using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS)
In this study, we explore the possibility of using the strawberry volatilome to identify biomarkers for B. cinerea infection. Strawberry flowers were inoculated with B. cinerea to mimic the natural infection. First, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to quantify B. cinerea in the strawberry fruit. The detection limit of qPCR for B. cinerea DNA extracted from strawberries was 0.01 ng. Subsequently, changes in the fruit volatilome at different fruit developmental stages were characterized using gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS). Based on ...

Accumulation, migration and health risk of trace metals in a soil-strawberry-human system of the Yangtze River Delta region, China
Environ Res. 2023 Jun 1:116310. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116310. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGrowing concern has been paid to metals in soil-strawberry system. In contrast, few attempts have been made to investigate bioaccessible metals in strawberries and further assess health risk based on bioaccessible metals. Moreover, the connections between soil parameters (e.g. soil pH, organic matter (OM), total and bioavailable metals) and metal transfer in soil-strawberry-human system still need to be systematically investigated as well. Considering that strawberries are extensively grown under plastic-shed conditions in Chin...

Residual behavior and risk assessment of fluopyram, acetamiprid and chlorantraniliprole used individually or in combination on strawberry
In this study, fluopyram (FOR), acetamiprid (ATP), and chlorantraniliprole (CAP) were used individually or in combination at the maximum recommended dose in greenhouse strawberries to research the dissipation dynamics and dietary risks. A multi-residue analytical method for FOR, ATP, and CAP in strawberries using UPLC-MS/MS integrated with the QuEChERS approach was developed with strong linearity (R2 ≧ 0.9990), accuracy (recoveries of 82.62 to 107.79%), and precision (relative standard deviations of 0.58% to 12.73%). The limits of quantification were 0.01 mg kg-1. Field results showed that the half-lives of FOR, ATP and ...
