Certain carbohydrates and polyols are used at various stages of the production of immunobiological preparations as stabilizers of biological activity, particularly in the production of lactoglobulin (against opportunistic pathogens) using membrane ultrafiltration. This study concerns the effect of these substances on changes in the amide content in proteins of this lactoglobulin. Lactoglobulin was incubated in near-physiological (0.9% NaCl, pH 5.5) 10% solutions of glucose, fructose, and sorbitol at 4 and 35 degrees C for 7, 14, and 28 days. A lactoglobulin solution in 0.9% NaCl, pH 5.5, was used as the control. All substances studied suppressed the reduction of the amide group content of asparagine and, in contrast, increased the rate of amide group removal from glutamine residues in proteins of lactoglobulin preparations.

January 2025

Department of Nutrition Research, National Nutrition and Food Technology Research Institute and Faculty of Nutrition Sciences and Food Technology, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, West Arghavan St. Farahzadi Blvd., Sharake Qods, Tehran, Iran.

Background: Cirrhosis is a medical condition marked by persistent liver damage, which leads to the development of fibrous tissue and compromised liver function. In the present study, we decided to investigate the possibility of a connection between the consumption of fermentable olig-, di-, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) and mortality rates in cirrhotic patients by utilizing data obtained from a prospective cohort study.

Methods: This cohort study enrolled 166 ambulatory patients from two hospitals in Tehran, Iran, between 2016 and 2018, and followed them up for 5 48 months until April 30, 2022.

FODMAP Diet in Celiac Disease and Gluten-Related Disorders.

Nutrients

December 2024

Digestive Endoscopy, ARNAS G. Brotzu, 09121 Cagliari, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • Individuals with celiac disease (CD) may continue to experience gastrointestinal symptoms even while following a gluten-free diet (GFD), potentially due to the intake of fermentable carbohydrates known as FODMAPs.
  • Research suggests that a low-FODMAP diet (LFD) could alleviate these symptoms and improve overall well-being for those with CD and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).
  • While the GFD remains the primary treatment for CD, evidence indicates that restricting FODMAPs can be beneficial for patients struggling with persistent symptoms.

Electronic address:

In this study, a novel flexible material was fabricated by blending chitosan (CS) with a poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) copolymer. N-methyl-D-glucamine, which acts as a polyol, was grafted onto the PTMC copolymer to produce poly(TMC-co-TMC-glucamine) (PTTG), to enhance the hydrogen bonding interactions. The CS/PTTG blend films were then fabricated using solvent casting.

College of Biosystems Engineering and Food Science, National-Local Joint Engineering Laboratory of Intelligent Food Technology and Equipment, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China.

The interaction among flavor compounds is a crucial determinant of Baijiu's flavor. Yet, the interaction between glycerol, a prominent polyol in Baijiu, and volatile flavor compounds remains elusive. The effect of glycerol concentration on the volatility of 13 Baijiu flavor compounds was analyzed by GC-IMS and GC-MS.
