An insight into the antioxidant activities and the exploration of record high quantities of quercetin and luteolin in the plant parts of (wall.) Blume.

This study attempts to reveal antioxidants in the plant parts of (Wall.) Blume using antioxidant assays and LC-MS/MS analysis. Methanol is the most effective solvent for collecting antioxidants.

Rich d-Fructose-Containing Polysaccharide Isolated from Roots toward a Superior Antioxidant Biomaterial.

The presented study attempts to unveil and evaluate the antioxidant activity of a novel heteropolysaccharide separated from the roots of (denoted as PS-MSR). The molecular weight of PS-MSR is found to be 1.88 × 10 Da and contains two principal sugars, which are d-glucose and d-fructose, in the backbone.

Assessment of pesticide use and pesticide residues in vegetables from two provinces in Central Vietnam.

Pesticide residue in food, especially in vegetables, is one of the important parameters to assess food safety. This study evaluates the pesticide use in vegetables from two provinces in Central Vietnamand and present data on pesticides detected in vegetables sampled from the sites. The potential health risk associated with the contamination of four commonly used pesticides in different vegetables is also discussed.

Structural Characterization of Mannoglucan Isolated from and Its Antioxidant Activities.

A novel polysaccharide structure (PS-T80) was collected from biomass and characterized via a combination of chemical and spectral analyses. Employing high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), the average molecular weight is proven to be 7.4 × 10 Da.

Decoding the Capability of W1 Isolated from Soybean Whey in Producing an Exopolysaccharide.

This study aims at producing exopolysaccharides (EPS) from a lactic acid bacterial strain. The soybean whey-isolated W1 (EPS-W1), which belongs to genus , is identified using the phenylalanyl-tRNA sequencing method. Of all the examined strains, R-49778 (as numbered by BCCM/LMG Bacteria Collection, Ghent University, Belgium) showed the highest capability of producing exopolysaccharides.

Novel Exopolysaccharide Produced from Fermented Bamboo Shoot-Isolated .

This study aimed at providing a route towards the production of a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) from fermented bamboo shoot-isolated . A lactic acid bacteria strain, with high EPS production ability, was isolated from fermented bamboo shoots. This strain, R-49757, was identified in the BCCM/LMG Bacteria Collection, Ghent University, Belgium by the phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase gene sequencing method, and it was named MC3.

Towards improved quality benchmarking and shelf life evaluation of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon).

An improved quality benchmarking and shelf life evaluation of freshly harvested black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) was pursued by combining sensory and chemical methods. This involved developing a quality index method (QIM) to further assess both freshness and shelf life of the studied shrimp samples. The quality index included the use of trimethylamine (TMA-N), total volatile basis nitrogen (TVB-N), histamine, and hypoxanthine, which were performed at scheduled times during the ten days of ice storage (0°C).
