Garlic peel extract as an antioxidant inhibits triple-negative breast tumor growth and angiogenesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2 expression.

Garlic peels are frequently disposed of as agro-waste; their bioactivity and physiological activity for health benefits and disease protection are neglected. This study aims to examine the potential inhibitory effects of garlic peel extract as an antioxidant on 4 T1 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumors in mice. The bioactive constituents of garlic peel were identified through HPLC-MS/MS analysis, while the antioxidant properties of garlic peel extract were assessed using peroxyl radical scavenging capacity (PSC) and cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) assays.

Intermittent fasting suppressed splenic CD205+ G-MDSC accumulation in a murine breast cancer model by attenuating cell trafficking and inducing apoptosis.

Immune-based interventions are the most promising approach for new cancer treatments to achieve long-term cancer-free survival. However, the expansion of myeloid-derived suppression cells (MDSCs) attenuates the therapeutic potential of immunotherapy. We recently showed that CD205+ granulocytic MDSCs (G-MDSCs), but not T cells, are sensitive to glucose deficiency.

Effects of enzymatic treatments on the hydrolysis and antigenicity reduction of natural cow milk.

Cow milk (CM) allergy is one of the most common food allergies worldwide; the most abundant CM proteins, such as casein (CN), β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), and ɑ-lactalbumin (ɑ-LA), are all potentially allergenic. Reducing the antigenicity of CM continues to be a major challenge. However, previous studies have focused on the antigenicity of individual allergic CM proteins.

The effect of pH on the chemical and structural interactions between apple polyphenol and starch derived from rice and maize.

To date, how pH affects starch-polyphenol mixtures has not been thoroughly investigated. This study explored the impact of combining apple polyphenol (AP) with both normal rice starch (NRS) and normal maize starch (NMS) across a range of pH conditions. NRS-AP mixture particle sizes across a pH range of 3-8 varied from 169.

Effects of corn distillers dried grains on dough properties and quality of Chinese steamed bread.

Chinese steamed bread (CSB) accounts for 30% of the wheat end-use in China. CSB was studied as a platform for fiber and protein enrichment, employing corn distillers dried grains. Food grade distiller's grain (FDDG) processed from co-products from the corn ethanol industry was used as the enrichment ingredient.

Effects of chitosan-based coatings on storage quality of Chinese shrimp.

We investigated the effects of chitosan-based coatings on the preservation quality of refrigerated Chinese shrimp for 12 days. Samples of Chinese shrimp were subjected to three different coating treatments, namely chitosan (CH), chitosan and ε-polylysine (CH + ε-PL), chitosan combined with ε-polylysine and carrageenan (CH + ε-PL + CA), and compared with a control. The bacteriological characteristics [total viable count (TVC)], chemical indexes including pH, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, K-value, and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), texture (hardness, chewiness, and elasticity), and sensory changes were assessed.
