This present study aimed to investigate the effects of various cooking times (1 h, 1.5 h, 2 h, 2.5 h, named as JHBP-1, JHBP-1.5, JHBP-2, JHBP-2.5) on the antioxidant activity and peptide profile of Jinhua ham broth peptides (JHBP). The peptides extracted from uncooked ham were used as an uncooked group with the name of JHBP-0. The results revealed that the antioxidant efficacy in the four cooked groups changed dramatically compared to JHBP-0. After cooking, the DPPH radical scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and superoxide anion radical scavenging activity decreased, except for the Fe2+chelation and ABTS+scavenging capacity which increased significantly. However, the cooked groups still showed a strong antioxidant capacity. In particular, the superoxide anion radical scavenging ability and the Fe2+chelation action were significantly stronger compared to glutathione (GSH) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (p< 0.05). JHBP-1.5 also displayed stronger antioxidant capacity than the other three cooked groups, and its secondary structure and mass distribution changed significantly after cooking, specifically with an increased proportion of helix and <1 kDa peptides. Moreover, the constitution of free amino acids (FAAs) and the types of peptides released in the broth increased significantly with a longer cooking time. In total, 1306 (JHBP-0), 1352 (JHBP-1), 1431 (JHBP-1.5), 1500 (JHBP-2), and 1556 (JHBP-2.5) peptide sequences were detected using LC-MC/MC. The proportion of <1 kDa peptides also gradually increased as the cooking time extended, which is consistent with the molecular weight distribution measurements.Keywords:Jinhua ham;broth;bioactive peptides;antioxidant activity;peptide profile

Soluble soybean polysaccharide (SSPS)-based composite films with the addition of nano zinc oxide (nZnO, 5 wt% based on SSPS) and tea tree essential oil (TTEO, 10 wt% based on SSPS) were developed by the casting method. The effect of the combination of nZnO and TTEO on the microstructure and physical, mechanical and functional properties of SSPS films was evaluated. The results showed that the SSPS/TTEO/nZnO film exhibited enhanced water vapor barrier properties, thermal stability , water resistance, surface wettability, and total color difference, and almost completely prevented ultraviolet light transmission. The addition of TTEO and nZnO had no significant effect on the tensile strength and elongation at break of the films, but decreased the percentage of light transmittance of the films at 600 nm from 85.5 % to 10.1 %. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the films significantly increased from 46.8 % (SSPS) to 67.7 % (SSPS/TTEO/nZnO) due to the presence of TTEO. Scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated that nZnO and TTEO were evenly dispersed in the SSPS matrix. The synergistic effect of nZnO and TTEO endowed the SSPS film with excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus , suggesting that the SSPS/TTEO/nZnO film could be a promising material for active packaging applications.

This study used glucose, fructose, maltose and dextran to explore the effects of different carbohydrates on the Maillard reaction of casein phosphopeptides (CPP). The color parameter results showed that heating time from 1 to 5 h led to brown color, which was consistent with the observed increased in browning intensity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results verified that four carbohydrates reacted with CPP to produce Maillard conjugates. Fluorescence spectroscopy showed that the Maillard reaction changed the tertiary structure of CPP by decreasing the intrinsic fluorescence intensity and surface hydrophobicity compared with the CPP-carbohydrate mixture. At the same time, the Maillard reaction effectively improved the emulsifying properties, reducing power and DPPH radical scavenging activity of CPP. Furthermore, this study also found that glucose and fructose improved CPP more than maltose and dextran. Therefore, monosaccharides have good potential in modifying CPP via the Maillard reaction.

Flowers, as the medicinal part, are commonly used in the treatment of hepatitis and tonsillitis. Aim of the study: The research was the first to assess the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of different parts of SP flowers (SPF) in vitro . The most promising fraction was ethyl acetate fraction of SP flower (SPFEA). The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of SPFEA were further studied, and the chemical components were identified. Methods HPLC was used to identify the major components in various fraction of SPF. DPPH and ABTS + radical scavenging assays as well as FRAP test and β-carotene bleaching test were employed to assess the antioxidant potential of SPF fraction in vitro . The inhibitory effect on NO production in LPS-treated RAW264.7 cells and heat-induced protein denaturation test were used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory potential of SPF fraction. Further analysis of the biological activity of SPFEA was performed. Acute toxicity test was conducted to assess the toxicity of SPFEA. The anti-inflammatory effect was assessed by utilizing xylene induced ear edema model, carrageenan-induced foot edema model and peritonitis model in vivo . The analgesic effect of SPFEA was evaluated using hot plate test, tail immersion test, formaldehyde test as well as acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing pain experiment in vivo . In carrageenan induced foot edema model, ELISA kits were employed to measure levels of inflammation factors (NO, TNF-α, IL-6, COX-2, IL-1β) in foot tissue as well as MDA, CAT, SOD, GSH-PX levels in liver tissue. Results HPLC results showed that there were significant differences in bioactive substances among different fractions of SPF, and SPFEA was rich in bioacitve components. Compared with other fractions of SPF, SPFEA exhibited better antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities. The 3000 mg/kg SPFEA group in mice had no obvious side effects. The xylene-induced ear edema model, carrageenan-induced foot edema and peritonitis models demonstrated that the SPFEA had significant anti-inflammatory effect. Moreover, inflammation factors including NO, TNF-α, IL-6, COX-2, IL-1β were significantly reduced in SPFEA groups in foot tissue induced by carrageenan. Additionally, SPFEA effectively decreased liver tissue oxidative stress levels (MDA, SOD, GSH-PX and CAT). The bioactivities of SPFEA demonstrated a clear dose-dependent relationship. The results of the hot plate test, tail immersion test, formaldehyde test and acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing pain experiments indicated the SPFEA possessed an excellent analgesic effect, and this effect was in dose-dependent manner.

This study evaluated the effects of three extraction methods, hydrodistillation (HD), steam distillation (SD), and lipophilic solvent extraction (LSE), on the yield, chemical composition, and in vitro / in silico biological activities of Schizonepeta tenuifolia (Benth.) Briq essential oil (STEO). The highest yield of STEO was obtained by HD (0.750±0.040%), followed by SD (0.440±0.020%) and LSE (0.350±0.030%). Although their contents varied, menthone and pulegone predominated in HDEO, SDEO, and LSEO. HDEO displayed the strongest antioxidant ability, with a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) IC50 value of 14.164±0.090 mg/mL and 2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) value of 0.326±0.023 mg/mL. SDEO demonstrated the highest antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and HDEO the highest potent anti-inflammatory activity. The molecular docking of menthone and pulegone demonstrated strong binding to inflammatory targets, including prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (PTGS1) and 2 (PTGS2) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). In short, the extraction method significantly affected the yield, composition, and biological activity of STEO.

The aging degradation process is significantly accelerated in unsaturated natural rubbers (NR) due to their susceptibility to α-H bond dissociation caused by exposure to heat and oxygen. Recently, the European Union has listed widely used antioxidant N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) as the restricted category of compounds, sparking a growing desire to find environmentally friendly alternatives. Through a combination of molecular simulation and experimental methods, this study aims to investigate the protection mechanism and conformational relationship of the natural antioxidant gallic acid (GA) and its ester derivatives within the NR matrix. The ultimate objective is to identify natural antioxidants that possess the capability to effectively substitute 6PPD. Simulation results of the chemical aging factor suggest that the phenolic hydroxyl hydrogen dissociation energy of GA is lower than that of the α-H bond of NR, thereby delaying the aging process. Based on the influence of physical aging factors, the polarity of GA derivatives decreases as the modified alkyl chain lengthens, improving the compatibility and migration resistance with NR, strengthening interaction force, and lowering oxygen permeability. Additionally, comprehensive simulation results indicate that octyl gallate derivatives exhibit notable antioxidant properties. Subsequent DPPH radical scavenging experiments, microstructural characterizations, and macroscopic mechanical property tests have confirmed the optimal antiaging properties of octyl gallate in NR, which these ester derivatives are expected to be a nontoxic, nonhazardous, and safe natural antioxidant alternative to 6PPD.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has attracted increasing attention thanks to its multi-bioactivities, and people are keen on improving the antioxidative and antibacterial performance of EGCG. Based on the favorable biofunctionality of Zn2+ and chitosan (CS), an EGCG derivative with a novel formula, i.e., EGCG–Zn–CS, is presented in this study. The structure of EGCG–Zn–CS was characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis, TGA, XPS, and SEM–EDS. The radical elimination results indicate that 0.1 mg mL−1 of EGCG–Zn–CS demonstrates DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of 94.8% and 92.3%, while 0.1 mg mL−1 of EGCG exhibits only 78.5% and 75.6%, respectively, which means improved antioxidative activity of EGCG–Zn–CS was obtained. Inhibitory experiments against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli reveal that the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of EGCG–Zn–CS were 15.625 μg mL−1 and 187.5 μg mL−1, whereas the minimal bactericide concentrations (MBCs) were 46.875 μg mL−1 and 750 μg mL−1, respectively, which indicate that EGCG–Zn–CS exerts much higher antibacterial activity than EGCG. It can be concluded that the complexing of zinc cations and CS could amazingly improve both the antioxidative and antibacterial activity of EGCG, and it is expected that an exploration of EGCG–Zn–CS may inspire the development of simultaneous effective antioxidant and antibacterial agents.

Chronic diabetic wounds are a severe complication of diabetes, often leading to high treatment costs and high amputation rates. Numerous studies have revealed that nitric oxide (NO) therapy is a promising option because it favours wound revascularization. Here, base-paired injectable adhesive hydrogels (CAT) were prepared using adenine- and thymine-modified chitosan (CSA and CST). By further introducing S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and binary L-arginine (bArg), we obtained a NO sustained-release hydrogel (CAT/bArg/GSON) that was more suitable for the treatment of chronic wounds. The results showed that the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF was upregulated in the CAT/bArg/GSON group, and improved blood vessel regeneration was observed, indicating an important role of NO. In addition, the research findings revealed that following treatment with the CAT/bArg/GSON hydrogel, the viability of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli decreased to 14 ± 2% and 6 ± 1%, respectively. Moreover, the wound microenvironment was improved, as evidenced by a 60 ± 1% clearance of DPPH. In particular, histological examination and immunohistochemical staining results showed that wounds treated with CAT/bArg/GSNO exhibited denser neovascularization, faster epithelial tissue regeneration, and thicker collagen deposition. Overall, this study proposes an effective strategy to prepare injectable hydrogel dressings with dual NO donors. The functionality of CAT/bArg/GSON has been thoroughly demonstrated in research on chronic wound vascular regeneration, indicating that CAT/bArg/GSON could be a potential option for promoting chronic wound healing. Statement of significance This article prepares a chitosan hydrogel utilizing the principle of complementary base pairing, which offers several advantages, including good adhesion, biocompatibility, and flow properties, making it a good material for wound dressings. Loaded GSNO and bArg can steadily release NO and L-arginine through the degradation of the gel. Then, the released L-arginine not only possesses antioxidant properties but can also continue to generate a small amount of NO under the action of NOS. This design achieves a sustained and stable supply of NO at the wound site, maximizing the angiogenesis-promoting and antibacterial effects of NO. More neovascularization and abundant collagen were observed in the regenerated tissues. This study provides an effective repair hydrogel material for diabetic wound.

Soybean meal is a class of by-products obtained from the processing of soybean products. Despite its high nutritional value, the presence of glycoside isoflavones limits human use of soybean meal. This study evaluated the effect of solid-state fermentation (SSF) with different edible mushroom mycelia (Pleurotus ostreatus,Hericium erinaceus, andFlammulina velutipes) on the proximate composition, antioxidant properties, and physicochemical properties of fermented soybean meal powder (SP). The results revealed that fermented SP had a higher nutritional value when compared to SP.P. ostreatuswas the most pronounced among the three species. Crude protein content was found to have increased by 9.49%, while the concentration of glutamate and aspartic acid increased by 23.39% and 23.16%, respectively. SSF process significantly increased the total polyphenol content (TPC) and aglycone isoflavone content by 235.9% and 324.12%, respectively, resulting in increased antioxidant activity (evaluated by the DPPH, •OH, ABTS+assays). Microstructural changes in fermented SP and nutrient degradation and utilization were observed. Thus, fermented SP can be used as a raw material with enhanced nutritional properties to develop new functional foods, such as plant-based foods represented by plant meat. It provides a promising approach for increasing the added value of soybean meal.Keywords:soybean meal;solid-state fermentation;edible mushrooms;nutritional value

Honey quality is in relation to botanical origin, and physicochemical properties, elemental composition, and antioxidant activity have been used for assessment and identification of honeys. The goal of this study is to contribute to the general analysis of five unifloral honeys from Cocos nucifera L., Dalbergia benthami Prain, Bombax ceiba L., Castanea mollissima Bl., and mangrove in Hainan province, China. Our results revealed that B. ceiba honey had the highest pH (4.27), color (139.33 mm Pfund), ash content (1.03 g/100 g), and electrical conductivity (1312.00 μS/cm) in five unifloral honeys. Furthermore, B. ceiba honey also contained the highest levels of total phenolic content (75.54 mg GAE/100 g) and total flavonoid content (29.22 mg RE/100 g), as well as the strongest antioxidant activity (DPPH IC 50 value, 3.97 mg/mL; FRAP value, 6527.43 µmol TE/kg). Moreover, we revealed a considerable variation in element contents in honeys using ICP-MS, with potassium being the most predominant element. B. ceiba honey had the highest contents of K, Ca, Mg, and P, whereas the highest amount of Na was found in mangrove honey. Overall, our data indicated that B. ceiba honey deserves further research as a potential antioxidant agent.

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) secreted by lactic acid bacteria have the potential to enhance human health by showing various biological functions. This study investigated the biological role and antibiofilm properties of EPS715, a new neutral EPS produced by pickled vegetables originating fromLactobacillus plantarumPC715. The results indicate that EPS715 is primarily composed of rhamnose, glucose, and mannose. Its molecular weight (Mw) is 47.87 kDa, containing an α-glucoside linkage and an α-pyranose ring. It showed an amorphous morphology without a triple helix structure. Furthermore, EPS715 showed improved antioxidant activity. Specifically, its scavenging capacity of ABTS+radicals, DPPH radicals, and the hydroxyl (·OH) reduction capacity at 5 mg/mL was 98.64 ± 2.70%, 97.37 ± 0.79%, and 1.64 ± 0.05%, respectively. Its maximal scavenging capacity was >40%, and the hydroxyl (·OH) radical scavenging ability was dose-dependent. Moreover, the biofilm of various pathogens includingS. aureus,B. cereus,S. saprophyticus,Acinetobacterspp., andH. alveiwas substantially dispersed and affected by EPS715, with a maximum inhibition rate of 78.17% forH. alvei. The possible mechanism by which EPS715 shows antibiofilm properties against theH. alveimay be attributed to its effects on the auto-aggregation, hydrophilic characteristics, and motility ofHafniaspp. Thus, EPS715 has significant antioxidant and antibiofilm characteristics that may hold substantial potential for applications in food and medicinal products.

The layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition technique has been widely used to decorate the nanofibers formed from polymer pairs with complementary functional groups. In the current study, an antioxidative coordination-driven multilayer electrospun nanofibrous film was fabricated from tannic acid (TA) and phosvitin (PV) obtained from egg yolk. PV was reported to bond with 95% of yolk iron which could provide chelating sites for TA. The surface morphology of the nanofibrous mats was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Also the TEM image of the cross-section illustrated a uniform shell formed around the cellulose nanofibers. The deposition of TA and PV was further confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). TA/PV nanofibrous mats showed good 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity regardless of the outmost component. While for superoxide-scavenging and hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity, the outmost component affected the scavenging capacity of nanofibrous mats. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were combined to characterize the morphology and structure of the deposited mineral phase on the scaffolds after culturing in a simulated body fluid (SBF) for 5 days. From the result, the TA/PV nanofibrous mats were satisfactory for use in bioapplications.
