Depression is a common mental disorder. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to depression and its etiology and pathogenesis. This review aims to explore the neuroprotective and antidepressant effects of hop components. By establishing an in vitro cell damage model using PC12 cells induced by corticosterone (CORT) and an in vivo depression model through the intracranial injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice, hop ethyl acetate extract (HEA) was used to study the protective effect and mechanism of HEA on neuronal cells in vitro and the antidepression effect and mechanism in vivo. The results showed that HEA increased the survival and decreased the rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, apoptosis, and the ROS and NO content of CORT-induced PC12 cells. HEA alleviated depressive-like behavior, neuroinflammation, reduction of norepinephrine, and dendritic spines induced by intracerebroventricular injection of LPS in mice and increases the expression levels of BDNF, SNAP 25, and TrkB proteins without any significant side effects or toxicity. Hops demonstrated significant comprehensive utilization value, and this work provided an experimental basis for the role of hops in the treatment of depression and provided a basis for the development of HEA for antidepressant drugs or dietary therapy products.

Halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. The development of methods to detect HOPs in fish is challenging owing to the compositional complexity of fish matrices, which contain high levels of lipids and relatively low concentrations of HOPs. In addition, the lipophilicity of most HOPs renders their extraction difficult.

Identification on Key Volatiles Contributed to Oviposition Preference of (Hübner, 1813) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) from High and Normal Oleic Varieties of Peanut.

The Indian meal moth, (Hübner, 1813) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a primary stored peanut insect pest, exhibited a significant difference in oviposition preference among normal-oleic peanuts (NOPs) and high-oleic peanuts (HOPs). Identifying key volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are attractive or repellent to is of great significance for the ecological management of pests. The profiles and contents of VOCs among NOP and HOP varieties were measured and compared, and key bioactive VOCs were further confirmed via an electroantennogram (EAG) analysis, as well as behavioral responses in Y-tube olfactometer and wind tunnel bioassays.

Background: Xanthohumol is an isopentadienyl flavonoid in hops, which have several pharmacological effects. However, due to the poor bioavailability of xanthohumol, it cannot be widely used.

Result: In this study, solvent extraction combined with preparative liquid chromatography was used to separate and purify xanthohumol in hop residue.

Drying techniques are important for hop storage and quality. The stage of hop addition in beer is another important issue. This study focuses the impact of two drying techniques [freeze-dryer (F) and hot-stove (H)] of Cascade hop, on the chemical, aromatic and sensory quality of beer, comparing beers produced without (BF and BH) and with dry-hopping technique (BFDH and BHDH).

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied spoiled cooked sausages with yellow stains to identify the microbial cause and test antimicrobials to prevent spoilage.
  • They found that a specific bacteria was responsible for the yellow coating and that this bacteria thrived in the presence of cooked sausage extract, producing volatile compounds typical of spoilage.
  • While several antimicrobials slowed the bacteria's growth, only hop extract completely inhibited it without affecting the sausages' taste, marking a new finding in antimicrobial research.
