Dihydroferulic acid (DFA) and dihydrosinapic acid (DSA) were isolated from Kurosu (unpolished rice vinegar) as the major constituents responsible for Kurosu's radical scavenging activity. The levels of antioxidative activity of DFA and DSA in DPPH radical scavenging were higher than those of their respective structurally related compounds, ferulic acid and sinapic acid. The concentrations of DFA and DSA were low in common rice vinegar (polished rice vinegar), suggesting that Kurosu is more advantageous than rice vinegars as an antioxidative food item. As the concentrations of DFA and DSA were low in unpolished rice, too, these acids are thought to be produced in Kurosu through the process of the fermentation from ferulic acid and sinapic acid, respectively.

Traditional colitis treatment strategies have issues such as side effects and poor lesion targeting. In this study, a milled black rice particle-stabilized Pickering emulsion (BR-5-DMN) has been developed as a delivery vehicle for 5-demethylnobiletin (5-DMN) to treat colitis. The alleviating effects of three 5-DMN delivery systems: BR-5-DMN, Tween 80 emulsion for upper gastrointestinal delivery, and soybean oil with most 5-DMN entering the colon were compared.

The in-situ-produced dextrans (DXs) could effectively enhance the viscosity of rice protein (RP) yogurt, but the reason for this improvement has not been elucidated. This study aims to reveal the mechanism underlying the viscosity improvement of RP yogurt by the presence of in-situ DXs. DXs synthesized in RP yogurts under different optimum conditions were purified and fully characterized.

Endophytic bacteria derived from metal hyperaccumulators have demonstrated potential for improving copper (Cu) remediation in host plants; however, their potential application in non-host crops remains unclear. In this study, endophytic bacteria isolated from Commelina communis growing in mining areas and their mitigation effects on Cu toxicity in non-host rice were comprehensively evaluated. Among the isolated endophytes, Bacillus sp.

Waste toner powder contains carbon and ferrosoferric oxide, meaning it has potential as a magnetic adsorbent. Previous efforts have tried to improve its hydrophilicity for aqueous samples, but not non-aqueous food matrices such as edible oils. In this work, we proposed a one-step hydrothermal carbonization method using 50 % (v/v) acetic acid to prepare carboxyl-functionalised magnetic adsorbent for aqueous and oil-based food samples.
