Lipid extract derived from newly isolated LAB-07 for cosmetic applications.

is a non-conventional yeast with a natural carotenoid pathway. In particular, is an oleaginous yeast that can accumulate lipids in high content, thereby gaining interest as a promising industrial host. In this study, we isolated and taxonomically identified a new LAB-07 strain.

Anti-aging efficacy of solid-state fermented ginseng with and its active metabolites.

is a beneficial fungus of microbial fermented teas such as China's Fuzhuan brick tea and Pu-erh tea, and is commonly called golden flower fungus (GFF) because its cleistothecium has a yellow millet or sand grain shape. Since natural materials fermented with GFF exhibit various physiological activities, a new active cosmeceutical ingredient was developed by solid-state fermentation of ginseng, a famous active material for healthy skin, with GFF. The extract of solid-state fermented ginseng with GFF (GFFG) exhibited potent anti-aging efficacy on the skin such as the increase of hyaluronic acid synthesis, aquaporin expression, and mRNA level of filaggrin in HaCaT keratinocyte.

Metabolite Profiling and Anti-Aging Activity of Rice Fermented with and : A Comparative Study.

Rice , used as a starter for maximizing fermentation benefits, produces versatile end products depending on the inoculum microbes used. Here, we performed metabolite profiling to compare rice fermented with two important filamentous fungus, and , during 8 days. The multivariate analyses showed distinct patterns of primary and secondary metabolites in the two s.

Secondary metabolites changes in germinated barley and its relationship to anti-wrinkle activity.

The purpose of this research was to identify metabolite change during barley (Hordeum vulgare) germination and reveal active principles for the anti-wrinkle activity. Barley was germinated with deionized water (DW) and mineral-rich water (MRW) for the comparison of the effect of mineral contents on the metabolites changes during germination. The effects of germinated barley extracts (GBEs) on collagen production and collagenase inhibition were evaluated in vitro using human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs).
