Optimizing Cellulase- ZC529 Synergy Fermentation for Preserving Pericarp's Potential Use as Antioxidants.

pericarps (MIP) are byproducts of nut production which are rich in natural antioxidant compounds, making them an excellent source for extracting bioactive compounds. However, the antioxidant compounds in MIP are easily oxidized under natural storage conditions, resulting in significant biomass loss and resource wastage. To preserve the potential of MIP to be used as an antioxidant product, we employed cellulase and ZC529 ( ZC529) fermentation and utilized response surface methodology to optimize the fermentation parameters for mitigating the antioxidant loss.

Ellagic Acid Improves Antioxidant Capacity and Intestinal Barrier Function of Heat-Stressed Broilers via Regulating Gut Microbiota.

Heat stress (HS) has been revealed to damage the antioxidant system and intestinal barrier function, which greatly threatens poultry production. The present study investigated the effects of dietary ellagic acid (EA) on the antioxidant system, gut barrier function, and gut microbiota of heat-stressed broilers. Arbor Acres 14-day-old broilers numbering 360 were randomly divided into six groups, including one negative control group (NC) and five experimental groups.
