leaf extract (EGb) is high in bioactive components (over 170), which are used in food additives, medicine, cosmetics, health products, and other sectors. Nonetheless, ginkgolic acids (GAs) in (GB) have been identified as the primary source of EGb's adverse effects such as embryotoxicity, cytotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and inhibition of enzyme systems. As a result, the Chinese, European, and United States pharmacopeias all mandate that the GA concentration in EGb be less than 5 μg g. This review looked at the toxicity of ginkgolic acid (from and trials) as well as the technologies (such as adsorption/desorption, enzymatic degradation, counter-current chromatography, liquid-liquid microextraction, dual-frequency ultrasonic-solvent extraction, deep eutectic solvent, .) used to lower the GA to the desired concentration. These technologies' advantages, disadvantages, viability, and future trends were compared. In addition, several pharmacological significances of GA extraction, such as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, ., were discussed, as well as future directions.

This study aims to address the challenge of detoxifying ginkgolic acid and transform it from waste into a valuable resource. By using pseudo-template molecular imprinting technology to chemically modify polysaccharide materials, we developed a polysaccharide-based molecular imprinted material (MMCC-CD/CS-MIP) for the targeted separation and controlled release of ginkgolic acid. Under optimal conditions, MMCC-CD/CS-MIP demonstrated excellent adsorption performance (Q = 47.

The Ebola virus, a filovirus, has been responsible for significant human fatalities since its discovery. Despite extensive research, effective small-molecule drugs remain elusive due to its complex pathogenesis. Inhibition of RNA synthesis is a promising therapeutic target, and the VP30 protein plays a critical role in this process.

Background: A prebiotic is defined as an indigestible feed substance that beneficially affects the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the large intestine, thereby improving host health and products.
Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the effects of supplementing prebiotic fructooligosaccharide (FOS) to the diets of Hy-Line W-36 laying hens.
Methods: A total of 168 Hy-Line W-36 laying hens were allocated to four dietary levels of FOS (0, 1.

Pulsed light (PL) is a prospective non-thermal technology that can improve the degradation of ginkgolic acid (GA) and retain the main bioactive compounds in Ginkgo biloba leaves (GBL). However, only using PL hasn't yet achieved the ideal effect of reducing GA. Fermentation of GBL to make ginkgo dark tea (GDT) could decrease GA.
