This study describes the characterisation of a new angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide from the fruiting body of Pleurotus cornucopiae which could be used as a functional food or nutraceutical compounds. After purification of the ACE inhibitor in an ultrafiltration, Sephadex G-25 column chromatography, successively C(18) and SCX solid-phase extraction and reverse-phase HPLC, two types of the purified ACE inhibitors with IC(50) values of 0.46 and 1.14mg/ml were obtained. The two purified ACE inhibitors were analysed, showing two types of oligopeptides. The amino acid sequences of the two purified oligopeptides were found to be RLPSEFDLSAFLRA and RLSGQTIEVTSEYLFRH. The molecular mass of the purified ACE inhibitors was estimated to be 1622.85 and 2037.26Da, respectively. Water extracts of P. cornucopiae fruiting body showed a clear antihypertensive effect on spontaneously hypertensive rats at a dosage of 600mg/kg.

This research investigates the impact of microwave power, processing time, and solid-to-solvent ratio on protein recovery from foxtail millet (Setaria italica), using an artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA). The extracted protein and subsequent hydrolysates were also evaluated for their techno-functional, structural, and digestibility properties. The ANN model, trained with the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and optimized by a GA, identified optimal extraction conditions (960 W, 66.

Rupr. is a berry fruit shrub found in the north-western region of China, locally its fruit is consumed as a tea ingredient a part of the daily diet, for treatment of different diseases like eczema, and for cardiovascular care as a traditional remedy. In the current study, an optimized ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method is developed using response surface methodology (RSM) to extract anthocyanins from the fruit.

Background/objectives: Numerous studies have demonstrated the health benefits of polyphenols found in aronia fruits; however, little is known about how aronia leaf polyphenols impact colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro anti-metastatic and anti-invasive activity of crude aronia leaf extract (ACE) and purified phenolic-rich aronia leaf extract (APE) against two CRC cell lines (SW-480 and HT-29).
Methods: Migration and invasion potential of ACE and APE were evaluated.

Objective: Nigeria, along with other Sub-Saharan African countries, bears the highest burden of epilepsy worldwide. This high prevalence is attributed to a combination of factors, including a significant incidence of infectious diseases, perinatal complications, and genetic etiologies. Genetic testing is rarely available and is not typically included in the routine diagnostic work-up for individuals with infantile and childhood epilepsy syndromes in these regions.
