Bioactive peptides identification and nutritional status ameliorating properties on malnourished rats of combined eel and soy-based tempe flour.

Background And Aims: A combined eel and soy-based tempe (CEST) flour is rich in nutrients, especially its high amino acid content in which bioactive peptides (BPs) are expected to be found. Hence, this research aimed to identify the BPs of CEST flour and CEST supplementation's effect on improving nutritional status biomarkers by ameliorating serum protein, hemoglobin, and IGF-1 of malnourished rats.

Methods: CEST flour with a ratio of eel and soy-based tempe of 1:3.

Anti-aging potential of cookies from sea grapes in mice fed on cholesterol- and fat-enriched diet: with study.

This study determines the effect of cookies made from sea grapes () on PGC-1α, total cholesterol, and blood glucose levels on mice fed with a Cholesterol- and Fat-Enriched Diet (CFED). The antioxidant activity, tyrosinase inhibition, α-glucosidase, and α-amylase inhibition is also analyzed in order to assess the anti-aging potential of sea grapes cookies. Forty male albino mice weighing 20 g-30 g were used and randomly distributed into four groups of ten animals each.

Sea grapes powder with the addition of tempe rich in collagen: An anti-aging functional food.

This study aimed to determine the potential anti-aging effects of sea grapes and tempe (fermented soybeans) collagen particle size, by measuring the activities of anti-glycation, antioxidant, and tyrosinase inhibitors. : Collagen was isolated from freeze-dried sea grapes and tempe powder and treated with different NaOH concentrations (0.10 M; 0.
