It was assumed that, high purity endo-arabinanase and endo-mannanase could be useful in the isolation of pectin of enhanced health-promoting potential. Extraction was carried out with 50 U of enzymes per gram of apple pomace at 40 °C, obtaining up to 22% increase in effectiveness, as compared to the acid extraction. The pectins, despite their high M, were homogeneous and contained more galacturonic acid, rhamnose, galactose, fucose, and ferulic acid than the conventional product, thanks to which they quenched free radicals up to five times more efficiently. Compared with pectin with recognised anticancer and prebiotic activity, they had a significantly greater ability to inhibit proliferation and migration of HT-29 and B16F10 cells. They were also more effective in preventing the adhesion of E. coli and S. typhimurium to enterocytes. Endo-arabinanase- and endo-mannanase-assisted extraction is an effective method of obtaining pectins with enhanced antiradical, anticancer and prebiotic potential.

The importance of functional food's role in human nutrition as well as in the prevention of diseases, especially the treatment of chronic diseases like cancer, is an innovative field of research. Based on the studies regarding the antioxidant potential of oyster mushroom extract, it is evident that it has anticancer properties. The current article reviews the health benefits of edible oyster-mushroom-derived bioactive compounds, and how they specifically activate or regulate the immune system by affecting the maturation, differentiation, and proliferation of immune cells, thereby inhibiting cancer cell metastasis and growth.

Flavonoids, a class of polyphenolic compounds, are widely distributed in plant-based foods and have been recognized for their potential to promote overall health and well-being. Flavonoids in fruits and vegetables offer various beneficial effects such as anti-aging, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Flavonoids have been extensively studied for their neuroprotective properties, which are attributed to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and interact with neural cells.

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) comprising of wheat bran, coconut husk, rice husk, cereals straw, and other hardwood and softwoods is a good source for the production of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) (prebiotic). XOS produced are nondigestible carbohydrates being stable under stomach pH and digestive enzymes so they can be easily delivered to the intestine in native form, thus stimulating the growth of probiotics. Here we review about the raw material, production, purification, and application of XOS with health benefits.
