AI Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the creation of walnut protein fibrils (WPF) using acid-heat treatment and how these fibrils can improve the delivery of hydrophobic compounds like CoQ10 and ALA in emulsions.
- - Longer treatment times altered the protein structure, increasing β-sheet content and enhancing the emulsifying properties, which led to more stable emulsions that can better withstand environmental changes and oxidative factors.
- - Compared to unmodified walnut protein, emulsions stabilized by WPF showed improved bioaccessibility for CoQ10 and ALA, suggesting this delivery system could effectively incorporate beneficial compounds into beverages.
Article Abstract
Emulsion-based delivery systems have garnered significant attention in terms of encapsulation and delivery of the hydrophobic bioactive compounds in recent years. This study investigated the formation of walnut protein fibrils (WPF) through acid-heat treatment for varying durations. Emulsions stabilized by WPF were prepared for the codelivery of CoQ10 and ALA. The emulsifying properties and interfacial distribution characteristics of WPF were compared and the differences in the stability of the emulsions were studied. Prolonged treatment duration resulted in secondary structural alterations, including an increase in β-sheet content (from 39.42 % to 45.87 %). Fibrillation increased protein interfacial adsorption, leading to WPF stabilized emulsions with better storage stability, resilience to environmental stress fluctuations and oxidative stability. In summary, compared to unmodified walnut protein, WPF10 stabilized emulsion already significantly enhanced the bioaccessibility of CoQ10 and ALA. The potential delivery system may facilitate the incorporation of hydrophobic active substances and functional fatty acids into beverage products.

Bone regeneration is a highly dynamic and complex process that involves hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal cells, collagen fibers, non-collagenous proteins and biomolecules from extracellular matrices, and different cytokines and immune cells, as well as growth factors and hormones. Some phytochemicals due to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects can modulate the bone signaling pathways and improve bone healing and thus can be a good candidate for osteoregeneration. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of L.

Effective post-exercise recovery is vital for optimizing athletic performance, focusing on muscle repair, glycogen replenishment, rehydration, and inflammation management. This review explores the evolving trend from traditional supplements, such as protein, carbohydrates, creatine, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), toward functional foods rich in bioactive compounds. Evidence highlights the benefits of functional foods like tart cherry juice (anthocyanins), turmeric-seasoned foods, and sources of omega-3 fatty acids, including fish, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts, for mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation.

This study developed a new energy bar using the astringent 'Rojo Brillante' variety of persimmons to address postharvest losses. The bar was formulated with dehydrated persimmons, walnuts, hazelnuts, and chia seeds to enhance their nutritional profile. The proximate composition was evaluated and the mechanical and optical properties, soluble tannins, carotenoids, and antioxidant activities were monitored during storage.
