Areca nut ( L. AN), which is the dried, mature seed of the palm species L., is consumed by over 600 million individuals, predominantly in South Asia, East Africa, and certain regions of the tropical Pacific.

Nano techniques: an updated review focused on anthocyanin stability.

Anthocyanins (ACNs) are one of the subgroups of flavonoids and getting intensive attraction due to the nutritional values. However, their application of ACNs is limited due to their poor stability and bioavailability. Accordingly, nanoencapsulation has been developed to enhance its stability and bio-efficacy.

Anti-senescence effects of Rhodiola crenulate extracts on LO cells and bioactive compounds.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Rhodiola crenulata (Rc) is a traditional herb, used in Tibetan medicine, has shown promise efficacy in physical performance improvement, work capacity enhancement, fatigue elimination, and altitude sickness prevention. Also, Rc exhibited therapeutic effects on aging-related diseases. However, relevant researches on Rc and their bioactive components are quite few and needs further investigation.

Improvement effects of micronization on morphology, functional and nutritional attributes of stabilized rice bran.

Micronization affects physicochemical and functional properties of materials and hence might improve the quality of rice bran, following stabilization treatments. The micronization effects of stabilized rice bran via extrusion or radio frequency treatments on their morphology and functional properties, and releasable capability were investigated. Micronization reduced particle size, water binding capacity and swelling capacity of rice bran, and increased their whiteness, water solubility index, and nutrient releasability.

Interaction characterization of zein with cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and its effect on the stability of mulberry anthocyanins and protein digestion.

Ingredient interactions usually occur in food matrix, which may affect their functions and properties. This study aimed to investigate the interactive effects of mulberry and corn protein on pigment stability and zein digestibility. The interaction of main compounds in both ingredients, that is, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) and zein, was characterized via their structural, morphological, thermal stability, and digestible properties using multi-spectroscopic techniques, scanning electron microscopy, high performance liquid chromatography, and in vitro digestion models.

Molecular interaction between pectin and catechin/procyanidin in simulative juice model: Insights from spectroscopic, morphology, and antioxidant activity.

The interactions between polysaccharides and phenolics in foods affect their physicochemical properties and bioactivity. Pectin and catechin/procyanidin present in plants ubiquitously and attracting more attentions for the potential health benefits. This work investigates the interactions between high methoxyl pectin and catechin/procyanidin in a simulative juice model using multiple microscopic and spectroscopic approaches and their influences on the antioxidant activity of phenolics were evaluated in the Caco-2 cells model.

Cyanidin-3-o-glucoside liposome: Preparation via a green method and antioxidant activity in GES-1 cells.

Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) liposomes was used to improve the stability and antioxidant activity of C3G through a green thin-film dispersion method. The characteristics, stability and the effect of C3G liposomes on GES-1 cells were explored. Results showed that the particle size and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of C3G liposomes were 258.

polysaccharides (LBPs), as bioactive compounds extracted from L. fruit, have been widely explored for their potential health properties. The extraction and structural characterization methods of LBPs were reviewed to accurately understand the extraction method and structural and biological functions of LBPs.

Black rice anthocyanins embedded in self-assembled chitosan/chondroitin sulfate nanoparticles enhance apoptosis in HCT-116 cells.

Self-assembled nanoparticles using the biopolymers chitosan (CH) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) were developed to improve the biological activity of anthocyanin (ACN). The 86.32 ± 0.

Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita Thunb.) alleviates antibiotic-associated diarrhea, modifies intestinal microbiota, and increases the level of short-chain fatty acids in mice.

Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is a common adverse effect of antibiotic treatment. The study was to evaluate effects of Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita Thunb.) on AAD, and changes of intestinal microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA).

Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Activities of Cyanidin-3-O-Glucoside (C3G) Liposome in Caco-2 Cells Cultivated in 2D and 3D Cell Culture Models.

The aim of this study was to obtain adequate and detailed information about the antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of C3G and C3G liposomes in different cell culture models. The Caco-2 cells were cultured in 2D and 3D cell culture models, the H O was used to construct the cell damage model and then the cells treated with C3G and C3G liposomes. The antioxidant activity and antiproliferative activities of C3G liposomes on Caco-2 cells were investigated.

Optimization of Conditions for Cyanidin-3-OGlucoside (C3G) Nanoliposome Production by Response Surface Methodology and Cellular Uptake Studies in Caco-2 Cells.

We aimed to optimize the formulation of C3G nanoliposomes using response surface methodology. Additionally, we evaluated the stability, particle change, and encapsulation efficiency (EE) of C3G nanoliposomes under different temperatures and storage durations, as well as in simulated gastrointestinal juice (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid. The morphology of C3G nanoliposomes was observed by transmission electron microscope.
