Xylanase plays an important role in the hydrolysis of hemicellulose and has gained much attention in the field of biological degumming. The research for xylanases with cellulase-free and high activity for biological degumming has intensified in recent years. In the present research, heterologous expression of a novel endo-β-1,4-xylanase (GH30) from Dickeya dadantii DCE-01 in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) was reported. Biochemical characterization of the enzyme and a potential application in ramie biological degumming was discussed. The results showed that the xylanase gene consists of 1251 nucleotides, belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 30 (GH30). The optimal activity of the xylanase was observed at 50℃ and a pH value of 6.4. The Km and Vmax values for beechwood xylan were 14.25 mg/mL and 296.6 μmol/mg, respectively. The catalytic activity was enhanced by addition of 1 mM Cu2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+. The recombinant enzyme was specific for xylan substrates. The enzyme exhibited hydrolytic activity toward ramie hemicellulose. The recombinant xylanase could be effectively applied to ramie degumming.

The β -catenin/B-cell lymphoma 9 (BCL9) protein-protein interaction (PPI) is a potential target for the suppression of hyperactive Wnt/ β -catenin signaling that is vigorously involved in cancer initiation and development. Herein, we first described quercetin and its derivatives had potential inhibitory effects on β -catenin/BCL9 PPI. The most potent compound, quercetin-3′- O -(4-methylpiperazine-1-yl) propyl ( C1 ), directly binded with β -catenin and disrupted the β -catenin/BCL9 interaction in both the protein level and the cellular context. C1 also effectively inhibited colorectal cancer in vitro and showed better selectivity in inhibiting hyperactive Wnt/ β -catenin signaling cells like CT26 and HCT116. And we further confirmed that C1 could inhibit CT26 tumor growth in vivo and regulate the tumor immune microenvironment. This study provides a good chemical probe to explore β-catenin-related biology and a drug-like quercetin derivative as novel β -catenin/BCL9 PPI inhibitors for further drug development.

A porous β -cyclodextrin modified cellulose nano-fiber membrane (CA-P-CDP) was fabricated and employed to treat the trace bisphenol pollutants (bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS), and bisphenol F (BPF)) in water. The characterization highlighted the porous structure, stable crystal structure, good thermal stability of the obtained CA-P-CDP, as well as abundant functional groups, which could greatly improve the adsorption of bisphenol pollutants and recovery. During the static adsorption process, the adsorbents dosage, temperature and pH showed significant influence on the adsorption performance. At the selected conditions (25 °C, 7.0 of pH and 0.1 g L -1 of CA-P-CDP dosage), the BPA/BPS/BPF adsorption on CA-P-CDP could rapidly reached the equilibrium in 15 min by following the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the maximum adsorption capacities were 50.37, 48.52 and 47.25 mg g −1 , respectively, according to Liu isotherm model. The mechanisms between the bisphenol pollutants and CA-P-CDP mainly involved the synergism of hydrophobic effects, hydrogen-bonding interactions and π-π stacking interactions. Besides, the dynamic adsorption data showed that the volume of treated water for CA-P-CDP (0.58 L) was 14.5 times larger than that of pristine cellulose membrane (0.04 L), revealing satisfactory adsorption performance of trace BPA in water. Furthermore, during the treatment of real water samples (lake water and river water) with trace bisphenol pollutants, the complete removal of the pollutants were evidently observed, which strongly verified the possibility of CA-P-CDP for the practical application.

In this study, we immobilized pectinase preparation on porous zeolite ZSM-5 as an enzyme carrier. We realized this immobilized enzyme catalyst, pectinase preparation@ZSM-5, via a simple combined strategy involving the van der Waals adsorption of pectinase preparation followed by crosslinking of the adsorbed pectinase preparation with glutaraldehyde over ZSM-5. Conformal pectinase preparation coverage of various ZSM-5 supports was achieved for the as-prepared pectinase preparation@ZSM-5. The porous pectinase preparation@ZSM-5 catalyst exhibited ultra-efficient biocatalytic activity for hydrolyzing the β-glycosidic bonds in the model substrate 4-nitrophenyl β-D-glucopyranoside, with a broad operating temperature range, high thermal stability, and excellent reusability. The relative activity of pectinase preparation@ZSM-5 at a high temperature (70 °C) was nine times higher than that of free pectinase preparation. Using thermal inactivation kinetic analysis based on the Arrhenius law, pectinase preparation@ZSM-5 showed higher activation energy for denaturation (315 kJ mol−1) and a longer half-life (62 min−1) than free pectinase preparation. Moreover, a Michaelis–Menten enzyme kinetic analysis indicated a higher maximal reaction velocity for pectinase preparation@ZSM-5 (0.22 µmol mg−1 min−1). This enhanced reactivity was attributed to the microstructure of the immobilized pectinase preparation@ZSM-5, which offered a heterogeneous reaction system that decreased the substrate–pectinase preparation binding affinity and modulated the kinetic characteristics of the enzyme. Additionally, pectinase preparation@ZSM-5 showed the best ethanol tolerance among all the reported pectinase preparation-immobilized catalysts, and an activity 247% higher than that of free pectinase preparation at a 10% (v/v) ethanol concentration was measured. Furthermore, pectinase preparation@ZSM-5 exhibited potential for practical engineering applications, promoting the hydrolysis of β-glycosidic bonds in baicalin to convert it into baicalein. This was achieved with a 98% conversion rate, i.e., 320% higher than that of the free enzyme.

In order to develop a new type of antioxidants with high efficiency, a series of β-ionone thiazolylhydrazone derivatives were designed and synthesized from β-ionone, and their structures were characterized by1H-NMR,13C-NMR, FT-IR, and HR-MS. The antioxidant test in vitro indicated that most of the target compounds had high biological activity. Among them, compound1kexhibited very strong DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical)-scavenging activity with a half-maximal effective concentration (IC50) of 86.525 μM. Furthermore, in the ABTS (2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) diammonium salt)-scavenging experiment, compound1mexhibited excellent activity with an IC50of 65.408 μM. Their biological activities were significantly better than those of the positive control Trolox. These two compounds, which have good free-radical-scavenging activity in vitro, were used as representative compounds in the anti-browning experiment of fresh-cut potatoes. The results showed that1kand1mhad the same anti-browning ability as kojic acid, and they were effective browning inhibitors. In addition, it is well known that microbial infection is one of the reasons for food oxidation. Therefore, we investigated the antifungal activity of 25 target compounds against eight plant fungi at a concentration of 125 mg/L. The results indicated that these compounds all have some antifungal activity and may become new potential fungicides. Notably, compound 1u showed the best inhibitory effect againstPoria vaporaria, with an inhibition rate as high as 77.71%; it is expected to become the dominant structure for the development of new antifungal agents.Keywords:thiazolylhydrazone;synthesis;antioxidant;antifungal;anti-browning

Although some AIE-based CPL materials had been presented, the design and synthesis novel AIE-based CPL materials and studies on the relationship of structure–property were still a challenging work. Herein, series of novel 1,4-bis(β-cyanostyryl)benzene derivatives 2a , 2b and 2c bearing chiral alkyl chains were prepared, and the influence of length of alkyl chains on CPL properties were investigated for the first time. Samples 2a , 2b and 2c were synthesized by simple procedure with 83–88 % yields. Samples 2b and 2c with longer chains displayed the typical liquid crystalline properties. All of them showed strong fluorescence in both solution and aggregated states. Their chiroptical properties of CD and CPL signals were influenced strongly by the molecular stacking in various states. The self-assembly in mesophase resulted in the best chiroptical properties. The longer alkyl chains contributed to stronger CD and CPL signals. The highest g lum value attained 1.6 × 10 -2 for sample 2c based on the effective chirality transfer and amplification of liquid-crystalline mesophase.

Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which instigate many disorders, are mostly mediated by dicarbonyl rearrangements. We studied the corresponding mechanisms of the anti-glycation effects of two anthocyanins purified from mulberry fruits, namely cyanidin 3-glucoside (C3G) and cyanidin 3-rutinoside (C3R), on glycated β-lactoglobulins (β-Lg). Both mulberry anthocyanins (MAs) inhibited the AGEs-formation in a dose-dependent manner, but the effect of C3R was significantly stronger than that of C3G (p < 0.05). MAs inhibited AGEs-formation by selectively trapping dicarbonyls, especially glyoxal. The UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS results characterized that C3R formed mono- and di-glyoxal adducts, where C3G only created di-glyoxal adducts. Additionally, C3R could directly interact with some of the glycation sites of β-Lg. Overall, GO-trapping and β-Lg-MAs covalent/noncovalent binding are disclosed as the key mechanisms of the anti-AGEs activity of MAs on β-Lg, which could be valorised as effectual AGEs inhibitors in proteins-rich matrices.

A triblock PEG-based polymer (CP1113) with a clear ABA structure was synthesized from 1,13-tridecanedioic acid (DA13) and mono-methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) (MePEG) via condensation reaction. An inclusion complex (IC1113) with β-cyclodextrin (CD) was prepared by co-precipitation and the IC formation was confirmed by transmittance determination with a UV-Vis spectrometer. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) were adopted to characterize IC1113 and the experimental data showed that a channel-type polypseudorotaxane was formed. For further investigating the inclusion behaviors, 1H-NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the molar ratio between CP1113 and β-CD and 2D ROSEY spectra were recorded to elucidate the IC formation mechanism. The results revealed that β-CD threaded onto the polymer main chain at a molar ratio of 7.8 : 1 and the molar ratio of EG segments to β-CD in IC1113 was ca. 8.28 : 1. It was concluded that β-CD accommodated both the methylene and the PEG segments and herein hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonds interactions played the most important roles with a hydrophobic stabilizing and hydrogen-bond inducing effect, which “amplified” the hydrophobic interaction between β-CD and the methylene segment along the hydrophilic PEG segments.

Complicated purification steps, together with the fact that β-glucosidase has to be tolerant to ethanol restricts the application of β-glucosidase in isoflavone aglycone hydrolyzing process. β-Glucosidase Bgl1A(A24S/F297Y) is a promising enzyme in hydrolyzing isoflavones. In this work, six different carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), which were from 3 families, were fused to the C-terminal of Bgl1A(A24S/F297Y), respectively, to simplify the enzyme preparation process. The fusion proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli and adsorbed onto cellulose . The Bgl-CBM 24 was found to have the highest immobilization efficiency at room temperature within 1 h adsorption. Notably, 1-g cellulose absorbs up to 254.9 ± 5.7 U of Bgl-CBM 24 . Interestingly, the immobilized Bgl-CBM 24 showed improved ethanol tolerance ability, with the IC 50 of 35% (v/v) ethanol. Bgl-CBM 24 effectively hydrolyze soybean isoflavone glycosides . The hydrolysis rate of daidzin and gemistin was 85.22 ± 3.24% and 82.14 ± 3.82% within 10 min, with the concentrations of daidzein and genistein increased by 6.36 ± 0.18 mM and 3.98 ± 0.22 mM, respectively. In the repetitive hydrolytic cycles, the concentrations of daidzein and genistein still increased by 3.07 ± 0.24 mM and 1.94 ± 0.34 mM in the fourth cycle with 20% (v/v) ethanol. These results suggest that the immobilized Bgl-CBM 24 has excellent potential in the preparation of isoflavone aglycones.

In our previous study, fibrous and granular whey protein self-assembled gels with low gel critical concentration (6%, w/w) and high gel mechanical strength were prepared, which showed good encapsulation and slow-release properties for epigallocatechin gallate. In order to better understand the gel formation mechanism, this study investigated the correlation between the gel quality and the protein structure based on kinetic pathways for fibrous (FBSG) and worm-like (WBSG) β-lactoglobulin self-assembled gels. The unheated samples of both FBSG and WBSG exhibited a loose structure, with the lowest hardness (6.733 g and 7.231 g, respectively) and rheological properties (G′ of 243 Pa and 79.9 Pa, respectively). As the heating time increased, the structures of FBSG and WBSG became denser, the hardness was increased and the rheological properties was improved. Hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions played key roles in the formation of both FBSG and WBSG. Heat treatment had a greater influence on the formation of disulfide bonds in WBSG. In addition, we modelled and predicted about the gel delivery and slow-release properties using stepwise regression. The results showed that the three models about WBSG could be used for subsequent prediction, with adjusted R 2 of 0.989, 0.989, and 0.981, respectively, which was a good fit; the average absolute errors (measured and predicted) of the models regarding the encapsulation efficiency, loading capacity and gastric release rate of WBSG were −0.12%, −0.0061 μg/mg and −0.553%, respectively, with good model predictions. These findings provide valuable insights for the production and application of functional and special medical foods.

Fe 3 O 4 @ionic liquids β-cyclodextrin polymer(Fe 3 O 4 @mono-6-deoxy-6-(1-ethyl-imidazolium)-β-cyclodextrin iodide polymer, Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP) was prepared. Magnetic solid phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography for the separation/analysis of congo red (CR) in water and drysaltery was established. Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP showed a higher adsorption capacity toward CR. CR was adsorbed rapidly by Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP (adsorption efficiency: 95%) and eluted by ethanol (elution efficiency: 96%) at room temperature. Under the optimal conditions, preconcentration factor of the proposed method was 20-fold. The linear range, correlation coefficient ( R
2 ), detection limit (DL) and relative standard deviation were found to be 0.005–100.00 µg mL −1 , 0.9910, 1.8 g L −1 and 0.61% ( n = 3, c = 5.00 µg mL −1 ), respectively. The adsorption mechanism of CR on Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP was studied through the FTIR analysis. The accuracy of the developed method was confirmed by spiking city water, lake water, pond water and drysaltery. Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP can be used repeatedly for 10 times. This proposed method had been successfully applied to the determination of CR in real samples.

This work aimed to investigat the properties of an antioxidant nanofiber coating incorporating zanthoxylum bungeanum essential oil and its function in the preservation of mangoes. Results showed that with the increase of zanthoxylum bungeanum essential oil-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex (ZBEO-β-CD-IC) content in the nanofiber coating, the porosity, water vapor permeability, and oxygen permeability of the coating decreased, but the antioxidant activities increased. During storage, the increase of ZBEO-β-CD-IC content in the coating decreased weight loss and the respiration rate, and delayed the softening of tissue and yellowing of peel color. On the twelfth day, as the ZBEO-β-CD-IC content in the coating increased, the contents of flavonoids , total phenols, and ascorbic acid in mangoes increased from 2.36 × 10 −2 to 2.87 × 10 −2 g kg −1 , 23.76 × 10 −2 to 28.06 × 10 −2 g kg −1 , and 24.20 × 10 −2 to 39.38 × 10 −2 g kg −1 , respectively. Hydrogen peroxide content, superoxide anion rate, and malondialdehyde content decreased from 4.62 to 2.98 mmol kg −1 , 0.53 to 0.36 μmol min −1 kg −1 , and 8.22 to 6.24 μmol kg −1 , respectively. The activities of peroxidase , superoxide dismutase , catalase , ascorbate peroxidase were also inhibited after mangoes were coated in nanofibers containing ZBEO-β-CD-IC.
