Emulsifiers with antioxidant properties, such as protein/polyphenol complexes, adsorb at the oil-water interface and improve the physical and oxidative stability of emulsions. Here, 2% (/) sodium caseinate and varying concentrations of phloretin (0-10 mM) were used to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. Control emulsions with protein alone showed poor stability with increased droplet sizes from 0.

Chronic stress can negatively affect cognitive ability, behavioral functions, and gut microbiota balance. The gut microbiota communicates with the brain through the gut-brain axis to influence brain responses and behavior. The positive effects of psychobiotics and para-psychobiotics (viable and non-viable probiotics, respectively) on decreasing stress and stress-related disorders have been approved, previously.

Article Synopsis
  • The study utilized the MSPE-GC/MS method to analyze six phthalate esters (PAEs) in yogurt and kashk, finding mean levels of DEHP at 2.00 ± 0.87 µg/kg and total PAEs at 8.33 ± 2.26 µg/kg, all below safety standards set by EFSA and US EPA.
  • The results showed higher PAE levels in kashk (10.07 ± 1.06 µg/kg) compared to yogurt (6.59 ± 1.26 µg/kg), with total PAEs increasing as the container size grew and at expiration dates compared to production dates.
  • Risk assessment using CDI,

Rationale: Probiotics have beneficial effects on the nervous system by modulating the gut-brain axis. Additionally, vitamin D supplementation presents a potential way for ameliorating neuropsychological disorders, particularly in regions with a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency.

Objectives: The current clinical trial aimed to investigate the role of co-administered supplementation of probiotics and Vitamin D on the different inflammatory aspects of patients with Parkinson's disease.

Postbiotics are metabolites derived from living probiotic bacteria like Lactobacillus strains, during the fermentation process and/or produced in pure form on laboratory scales. These compounds, depending on the type of probiotic from which they are prepared, have specific antibacterial agents such as: organic acids, bacteriocins, short-chain fatty acids, and peptides. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of supernatant (LAS) on the growth pattern of at fluctuating temperatures and the sensory evaluation of milk that contains this probiotic.
