Objective: To produce an alcoholic beverage containing anthocyanins that can act as antioxidants and have anticarcinogenic activities and antihypertensive effects.
Results: High starch-assimilating sake yeast strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae co-expressing the glucoamylase and α-amylase genes from Debaryomyces occidentalis using the double rDNA-integration system was developed. The new strain grew substantially using 5 % (w/v) purple sweet potato flour as the sole carbon source. Its cell yield reached 14.5 mg ml(-1) after 3 days. This value was 2.4-fold higher than that of the parental wild-type strain. It produced 12 % (v/v) ethanol from 20 % (w/v) purple sweet potato flour and consumed 98 % of the starch content in purple sweet potato flour after 5 days of fermentation.
Conclusion: We have produced a health-promoting alcoholic beverage abundant in anthocyanins from purple sweet potato.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of diurnal and seasonal variations in photon flux density (PPFD) and air temperature on PSII efficiency in three sweet potato leaf-color cultivars: green (G), yellow-green (Y), and purple (P). The cultivars were exposed to full sunlight and measurements were taken from November to March. The maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry for the dark-adapted state (F/F) indicated Y's increased sensitivity to low temperatures at predawn, followed by G and P.

The purple sweet potato anthocyanins (PSPA) are known for their diverse health benefits, yet their hepatoprotective effects and the mechanisms by which they combat liver fibrosis have not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to elucidate these effects by employing a carbon tetrachloride (CCl)-induced mouse model of liver fibrosis. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the effects of PSPA on liver injury, oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis-related signaling pathways.

Sweet potatoes are rich in amino acids, organic acids, and lipids, offering exceptional nutritional value. To accurately select varieties with higher nutritional value, we employed liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to analyze the metabolic profiles of three types of sweet potatoes (white sweet potato flesh, BS; orange sweet potato flesh, CS; and purple sweet potato flesh, ZS). When comparing CS vs.

Article Synopsis
- * Goats fed purple Napier grass silage showed higher dry matter intake and protein digestibility compared to the other two groups, with significant differences in ruminal ammonia nitrogen and blood urea nitrogen levels.
- * The use of purple Napier grass silage led to enhanced milk composition and increased antioxidant levels in the goats, while also reducing populations of protozoa and methanogens, suggesting it may be a beneficial roughage source for lactating goats.
