Various cryoprotective ingredients were evaluated for their freeze-thaw stabilizing and texture improving properties during 6-mo frozen storage when red hake (Urophycis chuss) fillets were injected with sorbitol-sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) (40% to 60% : 3%), 1.5% alginate, or 0.75% alginate with soy protein isolate (SPI)-sorbitol-STPP (5% to 10% : 40% : 3%). Injection of 10% SPI, 1.5% alginate, or 0.75% alginate-5% SPI effectively improved water binding and retarded the freeze-induced texture changes when drip and cooking loss, centrifugal expressible moisture, protein extractability, SDS-PAGE profile, and Instron and sensory texture were assessed. The sorbitol and STPP combination was not as effective as alginate and SPI. Freeze-susceptible whitefish can be injected with proper cryoprotective ingredients for improved frozen storability.

The pharmaceutical quality of freeze-dried tablets containing therapeutic bacteriophages against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.

The preparation of a solid dosage form containing bacteriophages, which meets pharmaceutical requirements and ensures long-term stability of the phage effect, is significant for implementing phage therapy in practice. A commonly used method for processing phages into a solid form is freeze-drying into a so-called freeze-dried cake; however, to date there have been no studies examining the pharmacopeial parameters of freeze-dried tablets with bacteriophages. In this study, we describe the preparation and properties of freeze-dried tablets containing a cocktail of purified pseudomonal bacteriophage DSM 33593 from the genus Pbunavirus and staphylococcal bacteriophage DSM 33473 from the genus Kayvirus (10 PFU/tablet) as the active ingredient.

Oleogels are structured materials formed by immobilizing oil within a polymer network. This study aimed to synthesize bilayer foamed oleogels using Ecogel™ as an emulsifier-a natural gelling and emulsifying agent commonly used to stabilize emulsions. Ecogel™ is multifunctional, particularly in cosmetic formulations, where it aids in creating lightweight cream gels with a cooling effect.

Article Synopsis
  • 2-O-α-D-glucosyl glycerol (2-αGG) is a highly sought-after ingredient in cosmetics, healthcare, and food, but its production using sucrose phosphorylase (SPase) has limitations due to unknown glucosyl-acceptor affinity and thermodynamic features.
  • Researchers isolated and tested three SPases from different bacteria, finding that one from Lactobacillus reuteri (LrSP) was the most effective for producing 2-αGG but had a low conversion rate.
  • By enhancing and modifying another strain, Lb. paracasei, the study achieved a significant increase in production efficiency, ultimately yielding 203.21 g/L of 2-α

Hirsutulla thompsoni (HTS) is an entomopathogenic fungus (EPF), a secure and efficient substitute for synthetic insecticides. However, its susceptibility to degradation in conventional formulations limits its practical use for agricultural practices. In light of current setbacks, this work proposes using a glycerol-silica/chitosan nanoflower gel (NFG) as an efficient delivery system to enhance the efficacy of HTS.

Wharton's jelly of the umbilical cord serves as a natural biomaterial to promote osteogenesis.

Biomater Sci

Division of Joint Reconstruction, Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China.

Various factors can contribute to bone damage or loss, presenting challenges for bone regeneration. Our study explores the potential clinical applications of two processed forms of Wharton's jelly of the human umbilical cord for treating bone loss. Wharton's jelly from fresh umbilical cords underwent two distinct processes: (1) frozen Wharton's jelly (WJF), preserved with cryoprotective agents, and (2) decellularized Wharton's jelly matrix (WJD), prepared only lyophilization without cryoprotectants.
