The seeds of various L. plants have been frequently used as snacks instead of for traditional medicinal purposes in China. However, there is still a need to identify the species based on seeds from germplasm for the potential biological activities of their seed oil. In this study, 18 edible germplasm from three species were identified and distinguished at a species level using a combination of seed morphological and microscopic characteristics and nrDNA-ITS sequences. Seed oil from the edible germplasm significantly enhanced oxidative stress tolerance, extended lifespan, delayed aging, and improved healthspan in . The antioxidant activity of the seed oil exhibits a significant positive correlation with its total unsaturated fatty acid content among the 18 edible germplasm, suggesting a genetic basis for this trait. The biological activities of seed oil varied among species, with Maxim. and Harms showing stronger effects than Hayata.

The toughening coix seed oil (CSO) high internal phase Pickering emulsion (CSO-HIPES) and gel (CSO-HIPESG) comprised of carrageenan (CR)/super-deamidated-gluten (SDG) micro-particles (CR/SDG) were investigated via acid-heat induction. Results showed polysaccharide natural deep eutectic solvent (P-NADES) by citric acid-glucose-carrageenan ((CGCR), molar ratio at 1:1:0.035) was the crucial for the preparation of SDG (deamidation degree, 99.

Yellow seed coat color (SCC) is a valuable trait in , which is significantly correlated to high seed oil content (SOC) and low seed lignocellulose content (SLC). However, no dominant yellow SCC genes were identified in . In this study, a dominant yellow SCC N53-2 was verified, and then 58,981 eQTLs and 25 trans-eQTL hotspots were identified in a double haploid population derived from N53-2 and black SCC material Ken-C8.

This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness of cumin seed essential oil (CEO) after encapsulation in chickpea protein-maltodextrin matrix by spray drying and to provide insight into potential use as a natural ingredient in meat-based products. The surface morphology results of encapsulated CEO showed the dispersion in the wall material matrix, and the observed specific common peaks in the FT-IR spectra of encapsulated and non-encapsulated CEO proved the successful encapsulation. The antibacterial activity of non-encapsulated CEO against BC1402, ATCC 27853, Typhimurium ATCC 0402, ATCC 25923 were first evaluated by disc diffusion assay.

Article Synopsis
  • The review analyzed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effectiveness of topical sesame oil (SO) in preventing and managing infusion-related phlebitis (IRP), revealing inconsistent results in prior studies.
  • Eight studies, covering various patients with chemotherapy and amiodarone-induced phlebitis, showed that combining standard care with SO significantly reduced IRP symptoms compared to control treatments.
  • While the findings suggest that SO may positively impact IRP management, the quality of the evidence was moderate and highlighted the need for better study design and safety verification of sesame oil.
