This work was aimed to explore the antioxidative properties, bioavailability and the safety of bioactive peptides obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of ultrasound-treated (UO) and untreated (nUO) soybean okara proteins. Particularly, the peptidomic profiles of both hydrolysates were examined using an untargeted metabolomics technique for suspect screening that was specifically designed for the profiling of short-chain peptides and relied on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) and bioinformatics. Next, both UO and nUO hydrolysates reduce Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) enzyme activity until 39.

- Multi-residue methods for pesticide analysis often exclude polar compounds like glyphosate, requiring complex techniques for their detection in food samples, such as specialized chromatography.
- A new method was developed for analyzing polar pesticides in beer, utilizing an online trapping device that combines reversed-phase and ion exchange properties, enabling effective extraction and separation.
- Validation of this method demonstrated recoveries of 71-112% and detection limits competitive with existing polar pesticide analysis methods, confirming its efficacy for large-scale beer testing.
Article Synopsis
- Seaweeds, which are large algae, are becoming popular for their health benefits, potential as drug sources, and role in combating climate change, especially due to their high content of beneficial fatty acids.
- The study focused on analyzing the structure and geometry of fatty acids in seaweeds using advanced mass spectrometry techniques, leading to a detailed understanding of their lipid composition.
- Researchers identified over 900 lipid species from 8 different seaweed species and uncovered unique features about their double bonds, enhancing the understanding of seaweed's nutritional value.
The fight against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues. Since the pandemic's onset, several biomarkers have been proposed to assess the diagnosis and prognosis of this disease. This research aimed to identify potential disease severity biomarkers in serum samples of patients with COVID-19 during the disease course.

Female inflorescences of Cannabis sativa L. are plenty of secondary metabolites, of which flavonoids and phenolic acids have been investigated by far less than phytocannabinoids and terpenoids.
