The potential application of vegetable oils in the D-xylose and L-cysteine Maillard reaction system for meaty aroma production.

Vegetable oils with different unsaturated degrees (corn > peanut > olive > palm > coconut) and corresponding enzymatic hydrolysis-thermal oxidation (ENTH) oils were added into D-xylose and L-cysteine Maillard reaction (MR) system, respectively, for potential meaty aroma production. Results indicated that coconut oil and palm oil had lower peroxide, p-anisidine, total antioxidant values, and malondialdehyde content after ENTH and MR. Corn, peanut, and olive oils after ENTH could significantly promote MR because they caused the lower pH, higher reactants depletion, and higher browning degree in the water phase separated from the oil-Maillard reaction system.

Screening Potential Probiotic Characteristics of Strains In Vitro and Intervention Effect on Type I Diabetes In Vivo.

Diabetes has become the third most serious threat to human health, after cancer and cardiovascular disease. Notably, is the most common species of LAB that produces -aminobutyric acid (GABA). The aim of this study is to clarify the effect of time, strain types, antibiotic concentrations, different levels of pH, and intestinal juices in aerobic or anaerobic conditions and the effect of interactions between these factors on the potential properties of KLDS 1.

Complete genome sequence of bacteriocin-producing Lactobacillus plantarum KLDS1.0391, a probiotic strain with gastrointestinal tract resistance and adhesion to the intestinal epithelial cells.

Lactobacillus plantarum KLDS1.0391 is a probiotic strain isolated from the traditional fermented dairy products and identified to produce bacteriocin against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Previous studies showed that the strain has a high resistance to gastrointestinal stress and has a high adhesion ability to the intestinal epithelial cells (Caco-2).

Levels, congener profile and inventory of polychlorinated biphenyls in sediment from the Songhua River in the vicinity of cement plant, China: a case study.

This study investigated the contamination levels, homologue, and congener profiles and evaluated the residue inventory of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment of the Songhua River in the vicinity of cement plant. The total concentration of detected 35 PCB congeners ranged from 1.12 to 2.

[Reduction of chromium (VI) by nanoscale zero-valent iron supported on Al-pillared bentonite].

In the presence of Al-pillared bentonite with good sorption capacity, nanoscale zero-valent iron supported on Al-pillared bentonite (NZVI/Al-PILC) was prepared with NaBH4 and FeSO4 aqueous solution. The structure of NZVI/Al-PILC was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The effects of pH values and initial chromium (VI) concentrations on its removal rate by NZVI/Al-PILC were investigated, and were compared with those of unsupported nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) containing the same iron mount of NZVI/Al-PILC.
