A Review on Extracts, Chemical Composition and Product Development of Walnut Fructus.

Walnuts are one of the world's most important nut species and are popular for their high nutritional value, but the processing of walnuts produces numerous by-products. Among them, Fructus has attracted the attention of researchers due to its complex chemical composition and diverse bioactivities. However, comprehensive reviews of extract activity and mechanistic studies, chemical composition functionality, and product types are scarce.

Hepatoprotective effect of total flavonoids from Carthamus tinctorius L. leaves against carbon tetrachloride-induced chronic liver injury in mice.

Carthamus tinctorius L. leaves, a waste product after Carthami flos production, are rich in flavonoids. Total flavonoids from C.

Coconut shell biochar application in liquid-solid microextraction of triazine herbicides from multi-media environmental samples.

A rapid, fast, widely applicable liquid-solid microextraction and purification method of triazine herbicides (TRZHs) in muti-media samples using salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction (SALLE) combined with self-assembled monolithic spin columns-solid phase micro extraction (MSC-SPME) was developed. Environmentally friendly coconut shell biochar (CSB) was used as the adsorbents of MSC-SPME. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was the separation and determination method.

Antibacterial mechanism of sucrose laurate against Bacillus cereus by attacking multiple targets and its application in milk beverage.

Sucrose laurate (SL) is a promising dual-functional additive due to its emulsification and antibacterial activity. However, the knowledge on the antibacterial action of SL against Bacillus cereus was lacking, and thus it was investigated from multiple targets. The antibacterial results demonstrated that the minimum inhibitory concentration of SL was 0.

iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of synergistic antibacterial mechanism of phenyllactic acid and lactic acid against Bacillus cereus.

Phenyllactic acid (PLA) as a phenolic acid by lactic acid (LA) bacteria shows enhanced antibacterial activity when coexisting with LA, while the antibacterial mechanism of PLA combined with LA was unknown. Hence, the antibacterial mechanism of PLA and LA was investigated against Bacillus cereus. Flow cytometry and TEM analysis demonstrated that single PLA and LA disrupted the membrane integrity and the morphology, while combined PLA and LA synergistically enhanced the damage.
