A Review on Worldwide History and Story: From Fossils to Natural Products Mass Spectroscopy Characterization and Biopharmacotherapy Potential.

Growing worldwide, the genus (family Ephedraceae) had a medicinal, ecological, and economic value. The extraordinary morphological diversity suggests that was survivor of an ancient group, and its antiquity is also supported by fossil data. It has recently been suggested that appeared 8-32 million years ago, and a few megafossils document its presence in the Early Cretaceous.

A biological clean processing approach for the valorization of speckled shrimp Metapenaeus monoceros by-product as a source of bioactive compounds.

The efficiency of the proteolytic strain Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis M1V in the fermentation of speckled shrimp by-product was investigated for the recovery of a deproteinized bioactive hydrolysate. The biological activities of the resulting hydrolysate were also examined by applying several antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory assays. The strain M1V was found to produce high level of protease activity (2000 U/mL) when grown in media containing only shrimp powder at 25 g/L.

Extraction, characterization and biological properties of polysaccharide derived from green seaweed "Chaetomorpha linum" and its potential application in Tunisian beef sausages.

A novel polysaccharide extracted from green algae Chaetomorpha linum (PS) was characterized, using infrared spectroscopy, HPLC-FID, gel filtration high-pressure chromatography, thin layer chromatography and spectrum visible UV. Natural antioxidant potential of PS was evaluated based on DPPH free radical, ferrous iron-chelating, β carotene bleaching inhibition activities and DNA nicking assay. Functional properties were estimated based on Water Holding Capacity (WHC), Oil Holding Capacity (OHC), emulsifying activity and foaming ability.

Multiresponse Optimization of Pomegranate Peel Extraction by Statistical versus Artificial Intelligence: Predictive Approach for Foodborne Bacterial Pathogen Inactivation.

Pomegranate ( L.) peel is a potential source of polyphenols known for their activity against foodborne pathogen bacteria. In this study, the effects of pomegranate peel extraction time (10-60 min), agitation speed (120-180 rpm), and solvent/solid ratio (10-30) on phytochemical content and antibacterial activity were determined.

Pomegranate peel as phenolic compounds source: Advanced analytical strategies and practical use in meat products.

The growing demand for natural food preservatives has promoted investigations on their application for preserving perishable foods. Consequently, the meat market is demanding natural antioxidants, free of synthetic additives and able to diminish the oxidation processes in high-fat meat and meat products. In this context, the present review discuss the development of healthier and shelf stable meat products by the successful use of pomegranate peel extracts containing phenolics as natural preservative agent in meat and meat products.

Potential benefits of polysaccharides derived from marine alga Ulva lactuca against hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity induced by thiacloprid, an insecticide pollutant.

The present study aimed to evaluate the potential protective and antioxidant effect of polysaccharides (PS) extracted from Ulva lactuca against thiacloprid (THC) induced nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. The antioxidant capacity of PS was tested in vitro using ABTS radical scavenging activity and plasmid DNA cleavage assays andin vivo on adult male rats treated for 30 days. Animals were allocated into four groups: control; THC (22.
