The antibacterial activity of rhamnolipid biosurfactant is pH dependent.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Rhamnolipid (RL) biosurfactants have been studied as agents to control the growth of food pathogens however, to be successful applied as antimicrobial agent in food, is important to determine the effect of environmental conditions on RL activity. Onc...

Extraction, identification and structure-activity relationship of antioxidant peptides from sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) protein hydrolysate.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
To elucidate the sequence, origin and structure-activity relationship of antioxidant peptides from sesame protein, sesame protein was hydrolysed by a dual-enzyme system comprised alcalase and trypsin, then this hydrolysate was fractionated by ultrafi...

Exploring the phenolic profile, antioxidant, antidiabetic and anti-hemolytic potential of Prunus avium vegetal parts.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The aim of the present work was to evaluate the phenolic profile of leaves, stems and flowers of P. avium and their biological potential. For this purpose, two extracts of each matrix (hydroethanolic and infusion) were prepared. A total of twenty-six...

Identification and characterization of antioxidative peptides derived from simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of walnut meal proteins.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The aim of this study was to isolate and identify antioxidant peptides from defatted walnut meal proteins hydrolysates (DWMPH) prepared by simulated gastrointestinal digestion, and to evaluate the protective effect of the selected antioxidant peptide...

Nanocomplexes composed of chitosan derivatives and β-Lactoglobulin as a carrier for anthocyanins: Preparation, stability and bioavailability in vitro.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
To improve sustained-release property, stability and bioavailability of anthocyanins (ACNs) in vitro, we fabricated the nanocomplexes with chitosan hydrochloride (CHC), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and β-Lactoglobulin (β-Lg). Response surface methodo...

The involvement of phenolic-rich extracts from Galician autochthonous extra-virgin olive oils against the α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
'Brava' and 'Mansa de Figueiredo' extra-virgin olive oils (EVOOs) are two varieties identified from north-western Spain. A systematic phenolic characterization of the studied oils was undertaken by LC-ESI-IT-MS. In addition, the role of dietary polyp...

Antibacterial activity and its mechanisms of a recombinant Funme peptide against Cronobacter sakazakii in powdered infant formula.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Cronobacter sakazakii (Cs) is a typical foodborne bacterium that infect powdered infant formula (PIF) worldwide. In this study, a recombinant antimicrobial peptide, branded as Funme peptide (FP)was applied to protect PIF from Cs contamination. The re...

Synbiotic meal decreases uremic toxins in hemodialysis individuals: A placebo-controlled trial.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Generation of uremic toxins p-cresylsulfate (p-CS), indoxyl sulfate (IS) and indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) in hemodialysis (HD) individuals may be associated with the gut flora and recognized markers of disease progression. This study investigated the e...

Thermal and irradiation resistance of folic acid encapsulated in zein ultrafine fibers or nanocapsules produced by electrospinning and electrospraying.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The objectives of this study were to characterize zein fibers and capsules prepared by electrospinning and electrospraying techniques, respectively, and then use them to encapsulate folic acid. Folic acid containing fibers and capsules (0.5, 1.0, and...

Effect of daily intake of a low-alcohol orange beverage on cardiovascular risk factors in hypercholesterolemic humans.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Oxidative stress, inflammation status, endothelial dysfunction, and imbalanced lipid metabolism play a major role in cardiovascular disease. Bioactive compounds and moderate alcohol consumption have been associated with decreased cardiovascular risk....
