Given the abundance of beneficial properties and enzymes secreted by edible oyster mushrooms, their mycelium could serve as a starter for fermented foods to enhance their nutritional and bioactive quality. This study aimed to investigate the effects on the nutritional ingredients, antioxidant activity, and non-volatile metabolites during solid-state fermentation (SSF) of soybeans by Pleurotus ostreatus mycelium. The results indicated that the contents of dietary fiber and starch in fermented soybeans decreased, while the amounts of protein and lipid increased after SSF (P < 0.05). Analysis of the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activities of the fermented soybeans revealed that the methanolic extracts significantly increased TPC and antioxidant activities against intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, as well as against DPPH and ABTS radicals in vitro. A total 154 differential metabolites were identified after SSF, and a Spearman correlation study revealed a direct relationship between antioxidant activities and certain metabolites including phenolic compounds, oligopeptides, and free fatty acids etc. Among these metabolites, phenolic compounds produced by the shikimic acid pathway were diverse in variety and had the greatest multiple differences. The study discovered that a potential mechanism involving SSF with P. ostreatus mycelium increased the antioxidant activity of soybeans.

The main active component ofPolygonatum sibiricum(P. sibiricum) rhizome isPolygonatum sibiricumPolysaccharide (PsP) with antioxidant function. At present, only the mature rhizome ofP. sibiricumis used to extract PsP, while the young rhizome of by-product is discarded directly as waste, resulting in significant wastage ofP. sibiricumresources. We used ultrasound-assisted extraction-deep eutectic solvents (UAE-DESs) method to extract PsP of young and mature rhizomes, respectively. The extraction rate, structure composition and antioxidant ability of PsP between young and mature rhizomes were compared, so as to provide references for comprehensive utilization ofP. sibiricumresources. The PsP extraction rate (33.88 ± 1.95%) of young rhizome was close to that (45.08 ± 1.92%) of mature rhizomes. The main component (PsP-2) of the PsP in young rhizome contained six kinds of monosaccharides, which belonged to acidic polysaccharides. The above characteristics of the PsP of young rhizome were similar to those of mature rhizome. The PsP of young rhizome also exhibited similar biological activity to that of the mature rhizome, which indicated even more advantages in DPPH free radical scavenging ability. The results of this study support the utility of the young rhizome, consequently helping to avoid unnecessary waste and provide reference for comprehensive utilization ofP. sibiricum.

ABSTRACT Chemical investigation on the leaves of Michelia champaca L. (Magnoliaceae) led to the isolation of five previously undescribed phenylethanoid glycosides (PhGs), 4- O - β - d -glucopyranosyl-acteoside ( 1 ), 4"'- O -(6- O - E -caffeoyl)- β - d -glucopyranosyl-acteoside ( 2 ), 4"'- O -(6- O - E -caffeoyl)- β - d -glucopyranosyl-isoacteoside ( 3 ), 6""- O - E -feruloyl-echinacoside ( 4 ), and 6""- O - p - E -coumaroyl-echinacoside ( 5 ), together with eighteen known PhGs. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. All the known PhGs except acteoside ( 8 ) were not previously reported in the genus. Twenty-one PhGs exhibited more potent DPPH radical scavenging activity and FRAP than l -ascorbic acid ( l -AA), and twenty-two PhGs showed better ABTS radical cation scavenging activity than l -AA. In addition, twelve PhGs displayed more potent cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity than curcumin. The results revealed that the leaves of M. champaca are a rich source of phenylethanoid glycosides and antioxidants.

The aim of this study was to explore the alterations in physicochemical characteristics, bioactivity, flavor and metabolic profiles of mango juice fermented by Limosilactobacillus reuteri FJG2526 ( L. reuteri FJG2526). The results exhibited that L. reuteri FJG2526 had strong adaptability in mango juice, and reduced the total sugar, polyphenolics and flavonoids content of mango juice. L. reuteri FJG2526 fermentation ameliorated the flavor profiles of mango juice, particularly promoted the production of acids, alcohols, and esters. Moreover, 107 metabolites in the mango juice were drastically altered after 48 h L. reuteri FJG2526 fermentation by metabolomic analysis, including 73 remarkably upregulated metabolites and 34 remarkably downregulated metabolites, primarily involving amino acid metabolism. In addition, L. reuteri FJG2526 fermentation also enhanced the ability to scavenge DPPH and OH free radicals of mango juice, and inhibited lipase and α-glucosidase activities. This study offers new insights into the mango juice fermentation and will contribute to the application of L. reuteri in functional juices.

Chitosan coatings have been demonstrated to be a highly effective and safe approach to extending the shelf life of food. This study, for the first time, evaluates the effectiveness of bamboo-leaf flavonoids (BLFs) added to a chitosan coating to delay the spoilage of strawberries, blueberries, and bamboo shoots. The addition of BLFs improved the tensile strength of the coatings. Chitosan coating incorporated with 0.1% BLFs had the highest tensile strength (36.38 ± 2.69 MPa). BLFs conferred antioxidant properties to chitosan coatings as determined by DPPH radical scavenging activity. Key quality parameters were measured over the storage period of strawberries, blueberries, and bamboo shoots. The coating significantly affected the impact of storage time on some variables. Chitosan/BLF coatings were particularly effective in limiting changes over time in weight loss, spoilage percentage, and vitamin C content (strawberries and blueberries), as well as crude fiber content (bamboo shoots), although their effect on titratable acid, soluble solids, and soluble protein content was less pronounced. The chitosan/BLFs composite coating demonstrated superior efficacy over pure chitosan in delaying spoilage. In conclusion, the chitosan/BLF coating could be useful for maintaining the quality of strawberries, blueberries, and bamboo shoots.

Eleven kinds of Camellia oleifera seed oils (CSOs) were evaluated in terms of chemical constituents, antioxidant activities, acid value (AV) as well as peroxide value (POV). These CSOs contained abundant β-sitosterol, squalene, α-tocopherol and phenolics, in which the squalene was the distinct constituent with the content between 45.8±0.8 and 184.1±5.5 mg/kg. The β-sitosterol ranging from 143.7±4.8 to 1704.6±72.0 mg/kg contributed a considerable content to total accompaniments. Palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid were present in these CSOs, in which the dominant fatty acid was oleic acid with the content between 59.66±0.72 and 82.89±2.16 g/100 g. The AV ranged from 0.1±0.0 to 1.3±0.0 mg KOH/g, and the POV was between 0.1±0.0 and 1.0±0.0 g/100 g. These CSOs showed antioxidant activity based on DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assay. Both α-tocopherol and β-sitosterol contents showed a positive correlation with DPPH and ABTS values, respectively, while the α-tocopherol content showed a negative correlation with AV. These results suggested that CSO can be categorized into high oleic acid vegetable oil with abundant active constituents, of which the quality presented variation among different origins. These accompaniments may contribute to the delay of its quality deterioration.

Introduction: In this study, we optimized the extraction process, analyzed the structure and assessed the antioxidant activity of Sanghuangporus baumii polysaccharide (SBP). The present results provide important information for the Sanghuangporus baumii polysaccharides
in potential natural antioxidant effects. Background: The extraction and structural analysis of polysaccharides from Sanghuangporus has gained significant attention in the fields of chemistry, medicine, and life sciences. There is great significance in maximizing the extraction
of polysaccharides from Sanghuangporus and developing their potential products in a scientific and rational manner. Objective: The study was designed to establish an efficient and practical extraction process for SBP, and then investigated the structure and the antioxidant activity.
Methods: The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design was used to explore the ultrasound-assisted extraction of SBP, and the structure of SBP was studied by ultraviolet spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and other instrumental analysis methods. The total antioxidant
capacity of SBP was studied by the Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP) method, and the scavenging capacity of ABTS+·, DPPH· and OH· was carried out as the index to investigate its antioxidant activity in vitro. Results: The statistical analysis
results showed that the optimal conditions for extracting SBP were an ultrasound time of 20.74 min, ultrasound power of 268.40 W and material-liquid ratio of 1:25.71. Under optimal conditions, the experimental yield of SBP was 3.36 ± 0.01%. The RSM optimization process was applied to
the experiment of complex enzyme extraction of SBP, and the yield increased to 4.72 ± 0.03%. Structural analysis showed that SBP mainly consisted of glucose, a small amount of mannose and galactose, and the molecular weight distribution was uneven, mainly concentrating in the three
parts of 24.5,6.4,2.5 kDa. Moreover, SBP exhibited dose-dependent and strong reducing power and radical scavenging activity. For DPPH·, ABTS+· and OH· radical scavenging assays, IC50 values were 1.505 ± 0.050 mg/ml, 0.065 ± 0.036 mg/ml
and 0.442 ± 0.007 mg/ml, respectively. Conclusion: In the present study, a β-linked heteroglucan (SBP) was extracted using the optimized process combining enzymes from the fruiting bodies of Sanghuangporus baumii. SBP exhibited effective and dose-dependent antioxidant
activities. Our findings were of great value in terms of developing polysaccharides with potential natural antioxidants.

Black tartary buckwheat oils (BTBOs) were extracted from five major industrial tartary buckwheat cultivars grown under similar agronomical activities and environmental conditions. These oils were characterized for the bioactive compounds containing fatty acids, β-carotene, lutein, α-, β-, δ- and γ-tocopherol, and for their antioxidant properties. The total tocopherol contents that were obtained ranged from 704.66 to 1156.19 mg/kg, with γ-tocopherol (588.98–977.91 mg/kg) as the main component. The concentration of lutein ranged from 253.14 to 429.63 mg/kg, which was almost ten times higher than that of β-carotenoid (46.71–69.2 mg/kg), indicating that black tartary buckwheat seed oils were a good source of lutein. The predominant fatty acids were unsaturated oleic acid (C18:1) (35.27–40.61 %) and linoleic acid (C18:2) (38.25–42.90 %). Excellent values of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were obtained and the highest oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) value of 13.89 mmol Trolox equiv/g oil was detected in the variety of Chuanqiao No. 1, which was clearly separated by principal component analysis (PCA) on the basis of the highest content of tocopherols and carotenoids. Moreover, the correlation analysis showed that tocopherols and carotenoids were the major contributors to the antioxidant activities of the BTBOs. This study demonstrates that lipophilic extraction in the tartary buckwheat seed contains many interesting bioactive compounds, which are beneficial for human health.

Douchi (DC) is a traditional Chinese condiment renowned for its rich umami flavor. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the composition, characteristics, potential taste mechanisms, and antioxidant activity of umami peptides in DC. The aqueous extract of DC underwent ultrafiltration and gel column chromatography to isolate its high umami components. Three novel umami peptides (EEQEHT, FED, AEPE) were identified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) coupled with bioinformatics analysis. Electronic tongue studies confirmed the high umami activity of these peptides, with scores ranging from 7.64 to 8.72 at a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL, with FED exhibiting the highest umami intensity, minimal bitterness and pronounced saltiness. Molecular docking studies revealed that all three umami peptides were embedded within the T1R1 subunit, facilitating their binding to the umami receptor via hydrogen bonding. Additionally, these peptides demonstrated significant in vitro antioxidant activities, scavenging 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radicals. In vivo assessments on zebrafish embryos exposed to oxidative stress showed improved survival rates, normalized heart rates, and dose-dependent reductions in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the umami peptides present in DC, highlighting their potential applications in the food and health supplement industries.

Mung beans contain abundant flavonoids like vitexin and isovitexin, which contribute to their strong bioactivities, such as antioxidant effects, so efforts should focus on extracting bioactive flavonoids as well as aligning with the goal of green extraction for specific applications. Deep eutectic solvent coupled with ultrasound-assisted extraction (DES-UAE) was applied to extract flavonoids from mung beans, and eight different DESs were compared on the extraction yield. In addition, the traditional extraction method with 30% ethanol was performed as the reference. The results showed that ethylene glycol-glycolic acid achieved the highest yield among all the DESs, 1.6 times that of the reference values. Furthermore, the DES-UAE parameters were optimized as a 60 mL/g liquid–solid ratio, 30% water content in DES, 200 W ultrasonic power, 67 °C ultrasonic temperature, and 10 min extraction time, leading to the DES extract with the maximum extraction yield of 2339.45 ± 42.98 μg/g, and the significantly stronger DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging ability than the traditional extract. Therefore, employing DES and ultrasonic extraction together offers a green method for extracting flavonoids from mung beans, advancing the development and utilization of plant-derived effective components in a sustainable manner.

The incorporation of antioxidants in food products is essential to prevent or delay deterioration, thereby addressing food spoilage. Thiol compounds, recognized for their natural antioxidant properties, are widely used in various foods; however, their antioxidant capacity is often limited. This study investigates the potential enhancement of thiol antioxidant capacity through the addition of a soluble, low-toxic inorganic Sm-cluster. Our findings demonstrate that the Sm-cluster significantly bolsters the antioxidant efficacy of thiol compounds. We explored, for the first time, the in vitro antioxidant activities of an Sm-oxo/hydroxy cluster combined with a cysteine derivative for potential food applications. The composition exhibited a robust inhibition of aromatic aldehyde flavor compound oxidation and displayed strong, dose-dependent DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine) radical scavenging activity. Notably, the antioxidant activity of the Sm-cluster/cysteine derivative was further enhanced under strong visible light conditions, which typically increased the likelihood of oxidation. These results suggest that the combination of inorganic cluster and thiol compounds presents a promising natural alternative to traditional antioxidants in the food industry.
