AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to create functional products using carrots supplemented with lactic acid bacteria (LAB), focusing on their health benefits due to rich bioactive compounds like polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids.
  • Among the products, freeze-dried carrot powder showed the highest concentrations of carotenoids, with significant increases observed after adding LAB, as well as enhanced antioxidant activity.
  • The research highlighted the potential of these carrot-based products in various industries, offering health benefits and innovative applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Article Abstract

The primary goal of this study was to generate different kinds of functional products based on carrots that were supplemented with lactic acid bacteria. The fact that carrots ( sp.) rank among the most popular vegetables in our country led to the convergence of the research aim. Their abundance of bioactive compounds, primarily polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids, offers numerous health benefits. Among the obtained products, the freeze-dried carrot powder () variation presented the highest concentrations of total carotenoids () and -carotene () of 26.977 ± 0.13 mg/g DW and 22.075 ± 0.14 mg/g DW, respectively. The amount of total carotenoids and -carotene significantly increased with the addition of the selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for most of the samples. In addition, a slight increase in the antioxidant activity compared with the control sample for the variant, with the highest value of 91.74%, was observed in these functional food products. The content of polyphenolic compounds varied from 0.044 to 0.091 mg/g DW, while the content of total flavonoids varied from 0.03 to 0.66 mg/g DW. The processing method had an impact on the population of that survived, as indicated by the viability of bacterial cells in all the analyzed products. The chromatographic analysis through UHPLC-MS/MS further confirmed the abundance of the bioactive compounds and their corresponding derivatives by revealing 19 different compounds. The digestibility study indicated that carotenoid compounds from carrots followed a rather controlled release. The carrot-based products enriched with can be considered newly functional developed products based on their high content of biologically active compounds with beneficial effects upon the human body. Furthermore, these types of products could represent innovative products for every related industry such as the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical industries, thus converging a new strategy to improve the health of consumers or patients.

The process of aging starts at birth and continues till death which affects human physiology and its appearance. According to Unani literature, the innate heat and innate moisture reduce gradually with increasing age. This decreasing innate heat and moisture weakens the Tabiyat and slows down bodily function, resulting in the low production of humor and a high production of extraneous moisture, which in turn alters temperament i.

Plant-parasitic nematodes pose a significant threat to crop production, impacting agricultural yields. In the search for new nematicides, a series of 1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives containing amide or ester groups were designed and synthesized using an activity-based approach. Bioassay results showed that some compounds exhibited good nematicidal activity against , , and .

Background: Medical marijuana (MMJ) is available in Pennsylvania, and participation in the state-regulated program requires patient registration and receiving certification by an approved physician. Currently, no integration of MMJ certification data with health records exists in Pennsylvania that would allow clinicians to rapidly identify patients using MMJ, as exists with other scheduled drugs. This absence of a formal data sharing structure necessitates tools aiding in consistent documentation practices to enable comprehensive patient care.
