HRMAS-NMR-Based Metabolomics Approach to Discover Key Differences in Cow and Goat Milk Yoghurt Metabolomes.

This study highlights the differences in the metabolomes of cow milk yoghurt (CY) and goat milk yoghurt (GY) using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomic approach. The 1H HRMAS-NMR spectrum displayed 21 metabolites comprising organic acids, sugars, amino acids, amino acid derivatives and phospholipids. The orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis model clearly separated CY and GY groups, implying differences in metabolite composition.

Anti-obesity and immunomodulatory effects of Allium hookeri leaves cultivated with artificial light of different intensities on immune-depressed obese mice.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Allium hookeri (AH) leaves cultivated with different light-emitting diode (LED) intensities (L: low, 100 μmol/m/s; M: medium, 150 μmol/m/s; H: high, 200 μmol/m/s).

The Immune-Stimulating and Anti-Diabetic Effects of Leaves Grown in a Plant Factory with Artificial Lights in Immunosuppressed Obese C57BL/6 Mice.

We investigated the immune-stimulating and anti-diabetic effects of leaves grown in a plant factory with artificial lights. The immunomodulatory effects of leaves' ethanol extracts were evaluated with immune-related hematological factors in blood, the proliferation of splenocytes, NK cell activity, IgG and cytokine levels, and their mechanisms in immunosuppressed obese mice. Anti-diabetic effects were determined by the inhibitory activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase in vitro and fasting blood glucose levels and biochemical factors in the serum of immunosuppressed obese mice.

Rapid Discrimination and Authentication of Korean Farmstead Mozzarella Cheese through MALDI-TOF and Multivariate Statistical Analysis.

Geographical origin and authenticity are the two crucial factors that propel overall cheese perception in terms of quality and price; therefore, they are of great importance to consumers and commercial cheese producers. Herein, we demonstrate a rapid, accurate method for discrimination of domestic and import mozzarella cheeses in the Republic of Korea by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The protein profiles' data aided by multivariate statistical analysis successfully differentiated farmstead and import mozzarella cheeses according to their geographical location of origin.

Quantitative Analysis of Biogenic Amines in Different Cheese Varieties Obtained from the Korean Domestic and Retail Markets.

To evaluate the safety and risk assessment of cheese consumption in the Republic of Korea, sixty cheese samples purchased from the farmstead and retails markets (imported) were analyzed for their biogenic amine (BA) contents. The BA profiles and quantities of eight amines (tryptamine, 2-phenylethylamine, putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, tyramine, spermidine, and spermine) were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Spermine was the only amine detectable in all the samples.

Investigation of Flavor-Forming Starter subsp. lactis LDTM6802 and subsp. LDTM6803 in Miniature Gouda-Type Cheeses.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an important role in dairy fermentations, notably as cheese starter cultures. During the cheese production and ripening period, various enzymes from milk, rennet, starter cultures, and non-starter LABs are involved in flavor formation pathways, including glycolysis, proteolysis, and lipolysis. Among these three pathways, starter LABs are particularly related to amino acid degradation, presumably as the origins of major flavor compounds.

H HRMAS-NMR based metabolic fingerprints for discrimination of cheeses based on sensory qualities.

In this study, the H HRMAS-NMR (High-resolution Magic Angle Spinning-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectra of 52 cheese samples obtained from the South Korean dairy farms were evaluated for their metabolic profiling and intensities associating with the sensory qualities. The NMR profiles displayed a broad range of compounds comprising amino acids, carbohydrates, organic acids, and phospholipids. Afterwards, the cheese samples were categorized into three groups (more likeness - G1, moderate likeness - G2, less likeness - G3), in relating to their sensory scores.
