The present study was to examine effect of soy leaf powder (SLP) and soy leaf ethanol extract (SLEE) on serum lipoproteins in hamsters. The control group was fed a semisynthetic diet containing 0.1% cholesterol, while the tested groups were maintained on the same diet but supplemented with 3% SLP or the equivalent amount of SLEE derived from 3% SLP for 4 weeks. SLP supplementation led to a trend of lowering serum total cholesterol (TC) and nonhigh density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), with HDL-C being unaffected, whereas incorporation of SLEE into the diet led to an elevated level of HDL-C and a lower level of non-HDL-C with TC being unchanged. Both SLP and SLEE supplementation caused favorably a decrease in the ratio of non-HDL-C to HDL-C. The present results demonstrate that not only soybean seeds but also soy leaves are cardioprotective, by favorably modulating serum lipid profile.

The aim of this work was to check the effects of five Bradyrhizobium japonicum inoculants from different producers on growth, photochemical efficiency, nitrate reductase activity, amount of hydrogen peroxide, activity of catalase, non-specific peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase, seed yield, and nodulation of soybean cv. 'Malaga'. We also evaluated expression of such nodulation genes as NIC1, NOD21, and NORKb.

Biological control plays an increasingly important role in various aspects of modern agriculture and forestry. Identifying biocontrol strains with commercial potential for effective disease management is currently a focal point in biological control research. In this study, XHG-1-3m2, a strain with significant biocontrol potential against causing shot hole disease in wild apricots, was developed.

Olive leaf is a byproduct of the olive tree that is rich in phenolic compounds with potential anticarcinogenic effects against various cancers, including breast cancer. Nevertheless, the ingestion or topical application of such plant extracts faces certain limitations. These limitations can be addressed by encapsulating the extracts in nanovesicles to enhance their release and bioavailability.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the use of lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) and phenolic compounds from date palm leaves to enhance soy protein isolate (SPI) films.
- Incorporating these compounds resulted in over a threefold increase in antioxidant properties and improved mechanical strength, water vapor resistance, and antibacterial effectiveness against six pathogenic bacteria.
- Overall, the LNPs made the SPI composite films stronger and more suitable for biodegradable packaging, while altering their color and transparency.
Development of Analog Rice Made from Cassava and Banana with the Addition of Katuk Leaf ( L. Merr.) and Soy Lecithin for Lactating Women.

Department of Agricultural Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University, Makassar 90245, Indonesia.
The development of analog rice, apart from being an effort to diversify food, also has the potential to be developed as a functional food to fulfill the nutrients needed by a community. Katuk leaf is known for its ability to accelerate the breast milk production of lactating women, which is inseparable from sterol in terms of bioactive content. This study aimed to determine the best formulation of analog rice made from cassava flour, banana flour, Katuk leaf powder, and soy lecithin that was sensorily acceptable, in a shape resembling rice, and able to fulfill the nutritional needs of lactating women.
