The suitability of CPWs, by-products of the juice industry, was investigated as a source for the production of cosmeceuticals. Four kinds of CPWs, CW, CWE, CWER, and CWEA, were examined for their antioxidant potentials in terms of DPPH radical-scavenging ability for anti-wrinkle applications, inhibition of tyrosinase or melanin production for whitening products, and anti-inflammatory effects to treat various skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis and acne as well as for anti-bacterial activity against acne-inducing pathogens. Of the four extracts, CWER was the most potent tyrosinase inhibitor ($IC_{50}$ value: $109\;{\mu}g/mL$), and CWEA ($IC_{50}:\;167\;{\mu}g/mL$) showed good antioxidative effects. CWE and CWEA samples had dose-dependent inhibitory effects on the melanin production. The cytotoxic effects of the four CPWs were determined by colorimetric MTT assays using human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Most extracts exhibited low cytotoxicity at $100\;{\mu}g/mL$. These results suggest CPWs are attractive candidates for topical applications on the human skin.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), characterized by chronic inflammation of the gut, is caused by several factors. Among these factors, microbial factors are correlated with the gut microbiota, which produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) via anaerobic fermentation. Fermented foods are known to regulate the gut microbiota composition. Ganjang (GJ), a traditional fermented Korean soy sauce consumed worldwide, has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, anticancer, anti-colitis, and antihypertensive activities. However, its effects on the gut microbiota remain unknown. In the present study, we aimed to compare the anti-inflammatory effects of GJ manufactured using different methods and investigate its effect on SCFA production in the gut. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of GJ in the gut, we performed animal experiments using a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. All GJ samples attenuated DSS-induced colitis symptoms, including reduced colonic length, by suppressing the expression of inflammatory cytokines. In addition, GJ administration modulated SCFA production in the DSS-induced colitis model. Overall, GJ exerted anti-inflammatory effects by reducing DSS-induced symptoms via regulation of inflammation and modulation of SCFA levels in a DSS-induced colitis model. Thus, GJ is a promising fermented food with the potential to prevent IBD.

According to various negative effects of antibiotic growth promoters, the effects of nature-derived alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters are mainly investigated in livestock industry these days. The effects of nature-derived alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters are mainly investigated in livestock industry these days. This study was conducted to estimate the efficiency of natural-derived alternatives to antimicrobial and antioxidant such as oregano oil (OGO), sulfide type antimicrobial peptides derived from Bacillus or Yeast (SAPBY), antimicrobial peptides derived from yeast (APY). The lactic acid bacteria growth effects were found to be minimal. The antibacterial activity of SAPBY was minimal, but OGO and APY showed antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium, and APY also showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus. Antioxidant effects were observed in all SAPBY, OGO, and APY, and when comparing the radical scavenging rate at 10 mg·mL^-1 for each sample, OGO showed the highest at 84.9%, followed by SAPBY at 48.7%. Therefore, the substances that can be used as natural antibiotics are SAPBY, APY, and OGO. It is believed that adding these substances to feed and feeding them to livestock will greatly contribute to improving the health of livestock and the productivity of safe livestock products. In further, research focused on various nature-derived alternatives to antibiotic growth promoter in livestock industry is needed.
