A metal-chelating substance in brewed coffee was separated and characterized by its chemical structure. This substance was a brown polymer. The contents of sugars, amino acids and phenolics in the substance were evaluated. This polymer contained small amounts of sugars and amino acids in its partial structure. After being decomposed by alkaline fusion, the decomposition products were identified by HPLC and GC-MS. Several phenolics were detected in the decomposed products. To characterize this substance, various types of model compounds were prepared by roasting chlorogenic acid, sucrose, and (or) protein with cellulose powder. Among these model compounds, the polymer-forming ability was highest in the model prepared from all four of materials, but the metal-chelating ability was the highest in the model prepared from chlorogenic acid and cellulose. These results suggest that this metal-chelating substance was a melanoidin-like polymer formed by the decomposition and polymerization of sugars, amino acids and phenolics.

Due to their antioxidant activity, alkylresorcinols (ARs) extracted from by-products could represent promising natural and innovative antioxidants for the food industry. This study tested the ability of ARs isolated from wheat bran to increase the shelf-life of minced-meat models stored at 4 °C for 9 days. Fifteen alk(en)ylresorcinols (C17-C25) were recognized by GC/MS, showing good radical-scavenging (200.

The development of anti-AD drugs has attracted much attention as the number of AD patients is increasing year by year. Five diosmetin derivatives (1-5) were designed and synthesized by introducing carbamate groups. The crystal structure of 1 was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, which showed a large conjugated coplanar structure and might be favorable for the insertion into the Aβ folding.

Compound pollution with cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) is common in nature. The effects of compounded Cd and Zn on the growth and development of Iris pseudacorus in the environment and the plant's potential to remediate heavy metals in the environment remain unclear. In this study, the effects of single and combined Cd and Zn stress on I.

Aspergillus was found to be a vital hyperaccumulation species for heavy metal removal with admirable tolerance capacity. But the potential tolerance mechanism has not been completely studied. This study quantified the amounts of total cadmium (Cd), Cd, glutathione (GSH), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the protoplasts and vacuoles of mycelium.
