Preparation and Characteristics of Ball-Milled Blueberry Peel Particles and Their Application in Ice Cream.

Ice cream is popular but contains high amounts of saturated fats and few health-promoting ingredients. In the presence of xanthan gum (0.25%), blueberry peel particles prepared through ball-milling treatment (BMPs) were used to prepare ice cream containing camellia oil as a fat replacer.

Comparisons in phytochemical components and in vitro digestion properties of corresponding peels, flesh and seeds separated from two blueberry cultivars.

Unlabelled: Highbush blueberries (HB) and rabbiteye blueberries (RB) were separated into peels, flesh, and seeds to assess the compositions of nutriment, anthocyanins, soluble sugars and fatty acids, and the in vitro digesting abilities. Total phenolics contents (TPC) of 51-56 mg GAE/g DW were found in blueberry peels. Compared with HB peels, RB peels showed much higher TPC, but only contained 35 phenolics and lacked peonidin-3-O-rutinoside.

Ginsenoside Rg5 Improves Sleep by Regulating Energy Metabolism in Sleep-Deprived Rats.

Sleep deprivation (SD) has become a universal social problem. There is a causal relationship between SD and energy metabolism disorder. Phytochemicals have been demonstrated to have excellent sleep-promoting effects, and studies have shown that ginsenoside Rg5 (Rg5) exerts sedative and hypnotic effects.

Evaluation of Pathogenic spp. Associated with Soybean Seed () in Hubei Province, China.

Soybean ( L.) seeds showing serious symptoms from rotted pods were collected from fields during the harvesting period (July to August 2020) in Taihu Farm, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, China. strains were frequently encountered during fungal isolation.

sp. nov. Isolated from subsp. in Korea.

A new species belonging to the genus was isolated from the necrotic leaf spots of subsp. in Yuseong district, Daejeon, Korea. It is an occasional isolate, not an etiological agent, which is morphologically similar to , but differs in conidial size and conidiophore shape.

Acid-Base-Triggered Structural Transformation of a Polyoxometalate Core Inside a Dodecahedrane-like Silver Thiolate Shell.

Self-assembly of metavanadate and organosilver(I) salts leads to a novel dodecahedrane-like [Ag30 ((t) BuS)20 ](10+) silver(I) thiolate nanocage that tightly wraps an unusual C2h polyoxovanadate anion. The polyoxovanadate core undergoes transformation to a D3d configuration upon acidification, and reverts back to its original C2h structure upon addition of base. Chromism was observed for the silver(I) thiolate cluster during the configurational change of the central polyoxovanadate core; the color of the solution changes reversibly from green to dark yellow.

Characterization and Pathogenicity of Alternaria vanuatuensis, a New Record from Allium Plants in Korea and China.

Alternaria from different Allium plants was characterized by multilocus sequence analysis. Based on sequences of the β-tubulin (BT2b), the Alternaria allergen a1 (Alt a1), and the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2) genes and phylogenetic data analysis, isolates were divided into two groups. The two groups were identical to representative isolates of A.

Sequence variability in the HC-Pro coding regions of Korean soybean mosaic virus isolates is associated with differences in RNA silencing suppression.

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV), a member of the family Potyviridae, is an important viral pathogen affecting soybean production in Korea. Variations in helper component proteinase (HC-Pro) sequences and the pathogenicity of SMV samples from seven Korean provinces were compared with those of previously characterized SMV isolates from China, Korea and the United States. Phylogenetic analysis separated 16 new Korean SMV isolates into two groups.

Molecular Characterization and Morphology of Two Endophytic Peyronellaea Species from Pinus koraiensis in Korea.

Species of Phoma and its allies were isolated during a survey on the diversity of endophytic fungi associated with pine trees in Korea. Based on the phylogenetic analyses of internal transcribed spacer and β-tubulin gene sequences, two Phoma-like species from the needles of Pinus koraiensis were identified as Peyronellaea calorpreferens and P. glomerata.

[Enzyme-amplified time-resolved fluorescence detection for nucleic acid hybridization assays].

Objective: To develop a new nonisotopic detection method of enzyme-amplified time-resolved fluorescence (EATRF) or enzyme-amplified lanthanide luminescence (EALL) for nucleic acid hybridization assays, which can be applied extensively in clinical diagnosis.

Methods: The method combines the high affinity of biotin-streptavidin system, amplification of enzyme, and inherent advantage of lanthanide chelate with the background elimination of time-resolved fluorescence detection. The conversion of 5-fluorosalicyl phosphate to 5-fluorosalicylic acid (5-FSA) by alkaline phosphatase.
