Thus, YFSE demonstrated prebiotic effects resulting in improving intestinal bacterial populations profile, BBM functionality, digestive and absorptive capabilities, intestinal morphology, glycogen status and immune system.Recently the use of electrolyzed water (EW) attracted much attention as a high-performance, new technology for its potential use in the food industry. The aim of this work was to investigate the impact of grape EW treatments, applied at different time intervals prior to harvest, on the indigenous yeast populations of grape surface (Chenin blanc and Cabernet franc) and the occurrence of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) in Cabernet franc wine. In addition, the evolution of inoculated and spontaneous fermentations on treated and non-treated grapes was also considered. The yeast population present on grape berries surface was influenced in a grape variety and EW treatment time-dependent way, since only Chenin blanc grapes treated with EW 7 days prior to harvest had significantly lower yeast population levels, compared to the respective control. Concerning the yeast diversity in the grape samples, a dominance of Aureobasidium pullulans was observed in treated grapes, independently of the grape variety. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole was detected in wine when the EW solution was applied at one or two weeks before harvest time. Belvarafenib After wine storage, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole and chlorophenols contents generally exhibited a loss relative to initial values. The results showed that EW treatments tended to slightly increase the TCA concentration in final wine and did not affect the fermentation performances and chromatic properties of resulting wine. On the other hand, absorption or desorption phenomena by wine lees could be involved in the change of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole concentration in wine during storage time.In order to better understand structure formation in hybrid meat products containing insects, viscoelastic properties, protein aggregation and surface hydrophobicity of extracted insect and meat proteins in different insectmeat nitrogen ratios (1000, 7525, 5050, 2575 and 0100) at different heating temperatures (from 20 to 80 °C) were studied. During heating, meat proteins showed best gelling properties. This was probably associated with the formation of hydrophobic interactions, as was confirmed by the strong increase in surface hydrophobicity of the meat proteins upon heating. Insect proteins, on the other hand, formed a considerable amount of additional structure during cooling, resulting in gels with high gel strength, although their gel stability was low. As for the mixtures of insect and meat proteins, they showed lower final gel strengths compared to the pure insect and meat protein samples. Furthermore, proteins with molecular weights of 230 and 16 kDa, that aggregated in the pure samples, did not aggregate in the mixtures. Although the mechanism of the latter effect remains to be elucidated, it probably explains the lower gel strength observed in the protein mixtures.Sargassum brown seaweed is well-known to contain several bioactive compounds which exhibit various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Lipophilic extracts and fractions of Sargassum were reported to possess promising anti-inflammatory activity. This study, therefore, aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of Sargassum cristaefolium crude lipid extract and its fractions. The brown seaweed was obtained from Awur Bay, Jepara – Indonesia. Crude lipid fractionation was performed using normal phase column chromatography, and three different fractions (dichloromethane, acetone, methanol) were produced. The results showed that treatment of acetone fraction exerted strongest nitric oxide inhibition in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 cells, both in pre-incubated and co-incubated cell culture models. This outcome was in accordance with its 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Metabolite profiling of lipid fractions was performed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry, while the orthogonal projection to latent structures analysis was conducted to determine some features with significant correlation to the bioactivity. There were 14 feature candidates considered from both positive and negative ionization mode datasets. Seven out of them were putatively identified as pheophytin a (1), all-trans fucoxanthin (2), 132-hydroxy-pheophytin a (3), pheophorbide a (4), 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-3-O-β-D-galactosyl-sn-glycerol (6), 1-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosapentaenoyl)-2-(9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoyl)-3-O-β-D-galactosyl-sn-glycerol (10), and 1-(9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoyl)-2-(6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatetraenoyl)-3-O-β-D-galactosyl-sn glycerol (12).The species Capsicum chinense, variety biquinho, has been gaining space in cooking, but little is known about its cultivars, mainly related to the chemical composition of fruits. The objective of this study was to characterize the nutritional composition of two biquinho pepper cultivars in different growing seasons and to define the relationships between the variables and their direct and indirect effects. An experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with two cultivars of biquinho pepper, two growing seasons. The variables were plastochron (PLAS), fruit mass (MASS), pH, total soluble solids (Brix), acidity, total phenolic compounds (PHE), carotenoids (CAR), antioxidant potential (ANT), capsaicin (CAP), and dihydrocapsaicin (DIH). The cultivar BRS Moema showed higher levels for chemical compounds, while the cultivar Airetama was the most productive. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to determine relationships among variables, and path analysis was used to determine direct and indirect effects between variables. The chemical composition of biquinho pepper is modified according to cultivar and growing season. Important relationships between pH and CAR, ANT, PHE, CAP, and pH. CAR and PHE have an indirect effect and the MASS and PLAS have a direct effect on the ANT.
