Oxidative Lipidomics to Unravel the Glycerol Core Aldehydes of Three Typical Unsaturated Triglycerides under Simulated Heating Conditions.

Glycerol core aldehydes (GCAs) are significant nonvolatile aldehyde compounds generated in heated edible oils, which may pose potential health risks. Utilizing the complementary CID and EAD mass spectrometry data, this study introduced a predict-to-hit strategy, identifying 42 types of GCAs from oxidized OOO, LLL, and LnLnLn. Structural analysis revealed that oxidation occurred at both the sn-2 and sn-1/3 positions of triglyceride (TG), with the Sn-1/3 position exhibiting greater susceptibility as the degree of TG unsaturation increased.

A review of endogenous non-starch components in cereal matrix: spatial distribution and mechanisms for inhibiting starch digestion.

As compared with exogenous components, non-starch components (NSCS), such as proteins, lipids, non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs), and polyphenols, inherently present in cereals, are more effective at inhibiting starch digestibility. Existing research has mostly focused on complex systems but overlooked the analysis of the in-situ role of the NSCS. This study reviews the crucial mechanisms by which endogenous NSCS inhibit starch digestion, emphasizing the spatial distribution-function relationship.

Virtual Screening of GLP-1-Secreting Peptides from Pea Protein Hydrolysates via Peptide Transporter 1 (PepT1) Activation-Based Molecular Docking.

Dietary proteins regulate glucose homeostasis via intestinal protein sensing-induced glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion. However, the reported GLP-1-secreting peptides derived from dietary proteins are few, and studies regarding GLP-1-secreting peptide identification by traditional separation and purification methods are laborious. Herein, we have rapidly virtual-screened two GLP-1 secreting peptides from pea protein hydrolysates (PPHs) by peptidomic analysis and molecular docking with peptide transporter 1 (PepT1).

Micro/nano-encapsulation of marine dietary oils: A review on biomacromolecule-based delivery systems and their role in preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Marine-based dietary oils (MDOs), which are naturally obtained from different sources, have been scientifically recommended as potent functional bioactives owing to their therapeutic biological activities; however, they have exhibited plenty of health benefits. Though they are very sensitive to light, temperature, moisture, and oxygen, as well as being chemically unstable and merely oxidized, this may limit their utilization in food and pharmaceutical products. Miro- and nanoencapsulation techniques are considered to be the most promising tactics for enhancing the original characteristics, physiochemical properties, and therapeutic effects of entrapped MDOs.
