Allergens release from their biological source is a critical step in allergic sensitization. We sought to investigate in vitro the role of hydration at 1:10 w/v without stirring and 1:5 w/v with and without stirring on the release of major and minor allergens from peanut kernels. We hypothesized that hydration plays a pivotal role in peanut allergens release, affecting major allergens predominantly, and that peanut-water ratio and stirring influence allergen diffusion. We found that major peanut allergen Ara h 1 was quickly released during hydration leading to a decrease in its content in the seed particularly at hydration performed at 1:5 w/v with stirring. Ara h 2 remained more preserved in the hydrated seed, while Ara h 3 showed no content decrease despite its important release into the hydration water. Minor allergens Ara h 8 and Ara h 9 have lower abundance in peanut leading to a reduction of their content in the seed after their diffusion into the water during hydration. The results also demonstrated that a higher seed-to-water ratio (1:5 w/v) and stirring had a more pronounced impact on allergen release.

Article Synopsis
  • Metabolism is influenced by energy availability and environmental factors, and understanding how cells adapt their energy processes can reveal important molecular mechanisms.* -
  • Mitochondrial respiration is crucial for ATP production, and a novel method is introduced to measure it directly in intact yeast cells, providing a better representation compared to isolated mitochondria.* -
  • The method involves preparing yeast under specific conditions, using an oximeter to measure oxygen consumption, and applying various inhibitors to distinguish between ATP-linked and maximal respiratory activity in the cells.*

The controllable crosslinking between the constituting building blocks plays a key role in endowing the hydrogel with injectability through the formation of a uniform 3D interconnected network. Herein, a uniform-unsaturated crosslinking strategy has been devised to quickly construct injectable sodium alginate (SA) hydrogels. Under vigorous stirring, a moderate amount of metal ions can uniformly coordinate with the guluronate moieties of SA molecules, avoiding the locally excessive crosslinking and the loss of injectability caused by traditional dropping and soaking methods.

Phycocyanin was extracted from using conventional extraction (CE), direct ultrasonic-assisted extraction (direct UAE), indirect ultrasonic-assisted extraction (indirect UAE), and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) methods at different temperatures, extraction intervals, stirring rate, and power intensities while maintaining the same algae to solvent ratio (1:15 ). The optimization of the extraction parameters indicated that the direct UAE yielded the highest phycocyanin concentration (29.31 ± 0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study addresses cardiac arrhythmias, a condition requiring long-term management with medications like diltiazem hydrochloride, which faces limitations in traditional administration methods due to absorption challenges.
  • Researchers developed a transdermal patch using solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) to enhance the drug's skin permeability and bioavailability, employing a solvent diffusion technique for SLN preparation.
  • Results showed that the formulated patch had a good drug release profile (70.7% over 24 hours), a high drug content of 89.37%, and an optimal surface pH close to that of human skin, making it a promising delivery method for diltiazem.

Enset fiber is a promising feedstock for biofuel production with the potential to reduce carbon emissions and improve the sustainability of the energy system. This study aimed to maximize hydrogen and butanol production from Enset fiber through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process in bottles as well as in bioreactor. The SSF process in bottles resulted in a higher butanol concentration of 11.
