Citrus peel polyphenols have possess the distinct anti-inflammatory activities. However, its underlying mechanism on ulcerative colitis have not been elucidated. The aim of this research was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect and action mechanisms of citrus peel polyphenols. Total citrus peel polyphenols were concentrated using macroporous resins and separated into water-soluble citrus polyphenols and ester-soluble citrus peel polyphenols. These extracts were then gavaged to acute colitis mice induced by dextran sulfate sodium for 14 days using a dose of 300 mg/kg▪bw. High performance liquid chromatography results showed that the extracts contained flavanones, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. Compared to the dextran sulfate sodium group, total citrus peel polyphenols, water-soluble citrus polyphenols, and ester-soluble citrus peel polyphenols significantly ameliorated the severity of colitis symptoms. Additionally, citrus peel polyphenols reduced the activity of myeloperoxidase, lowered secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6, and increased interleukin-10. Meanwhile, total citrus peel polyphenols, water-soluble citrus polyphenols, and ester-soluble citrus peel polyphenols effectively blocked the activation of the nuclear factor-kappa B. These results demonstrated that citrus peel polyphenols alleviated ulcerative colitis in mice by damping pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and suppressing the nuclear factor-kappa B pathway activation.

Oleaginous yeasts are considered promising sources for lipid production due to their ability to accumulate high levels of lipids under appropriate growth conditions. The current study aimed to isolate and identify oleaginous yeasts having superior ability to accumulate high quantities of lipids; and enhancing lipid production using response surface methodology and repeated-batch fermentation. Results revealed that, twenty marine oleaginous yeasts were isolated, and the most potent lipid producer isolate was Candida parapsilosis Y19 according to qualitative screening test using Nile-red dye.

'Chachi' (CRC), recognized for its considerable edible and medicinal significance, is a valuable source of metabolites beneficial to human health. This research investigates the metabolic distinctions and antioxidant properties across four different parts of CRC, using multivariate statistical analysis to interpret metabolomic data and network pharmacology to identify potential antioxidant targets and relevant signaling pathways. The results indicate considerable metabolic differences in different parts of the sample, with 1622 metabolites showing differential expression, including 816 secondary metabolites, primarily consisting of terpenoids (31.

Citrus peel essential oil (CPEO) is favored by people for its aromatic scent, while also possessing numerous bioactive compounds that are advantageous to human health. This study evaluated the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities of CPEOs through cell experiments. The results showed that CPEOs could increase the activity of the antioxidant enzyme system and nonenzymatic defence system in HO-treated RAW 264.
