BACKGROUND: Anthocyanins have been recognized as health-enhancing substances due to their antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and hypoglycemic effects. The objective was to identify anthocyanins-rich rice grains for the development of functional foods and/or functional food colorants METHODS AND RESULTS: Rice grains of one black and three red-hulled rice varieties were extracted with acidified 80% aqueous methanol. The antioxidant activity of the methanolic extracts was screened on TLC plates and in an in vitro assay using DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) as a free radical source. Red-hulled rice varieties exhibited higher antioxidant activity (88%, 1 mg/mL) than black rice (67%, 1 mg/mL). Among the red-hulled varieties tested, rice variety SSALBYEO54 (901452) was the most active (72%, 0.5 mg/mL). Rice extracted anthocyanin compounds were analyzed by HPLC-DAD-FLD and LC-MS/MS. Red-hulled varieties comprised cyanidin-3-glucoside in addition to ferulic acid esters, apigenin and kaempferol glycosides. CONCLUSION(s): Anthocyanins identified in the black rice variety were cyanidin-7-O-galactoside, cyanidin-3-Oglucoside, cyanidin-3'-O-glucoside, cyanidin-5-O-glucoside, cyanidin-3, 7-O-diglucoside, cyanidin-3, 5-O-diglucoside and peonidin-4'-O-glucoside. The results of this study show that the black rice (IT212512) and red-hulled rice variety SSALBYEO54 (901452) contain notable antioxidant activity for potential use in nutraceutical or functional food formulations.

The impact of storage on the neuroprotective effects against $A\beta$-induced cell death and physicochemical characteristics of milk fortified with BF-7 were investigated. The BF-7 milk exerted protection of neuronal cells SK-N-SH from amyloid beta ($A\beta$)-induced neuronal stress. Our results showed that incubation of the cell with pretreated BF-7 milk, significantly attenuated apoptotic stress by $A\beta$, considered in cell morphology and nucleus shape. The general compositions were maintained consistently in BF-7 fortified milk (BF-7 milk). The BF-7 did not make any disturbance on pH and titratable acidity. The color change was not detected, either. Also, any microorganism had not been detected with more than 7 days storage at $4^{\circ}C$. In sensory evaluation study. the average scores of each sensory attribute were quite similar with plain milk. In conclusion, our results strongly indicate that BF-7 characteristics are quite adequate to be included in milk and BF-7 milk is still working well on neuro-protection, result in enforcing our brain and delaying neurodegeneration.

Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide in increasing demand for applications in food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries. Single-step trehalose production by trehalose synthase (TreS) using maltose as a starting material is a promising alternative process for industrial application due to its simplicity and cost advantage. Pseudomonas monteilii TBRC 1196 was identified using the developed screening method as a potent strain for TreS production. The TreS gene from P. monteilii TBRC 1196 was first cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Purified recombinant trehalose synthase (PmTreS) had a molecular weight of 76 kDa and showed optimal pH and temperature at 9.0 and 40℃, respectively. The enzyme exhibited >90% residual activity under mesophilic condition under a broad pH range of 7-10 for 6 h. Maximum trehalose yield by PmTreS was 68.1% with low yield of glucose (4%) as a byproduct under optimal conditions, equivalent to productivity of 4.5 g/l/h using enzyme loading of 2 mg/g substrate and high concentration maltose solution (100 g/l) in a lab-scale bioreactor. The enzyme represents a potent biocatalyst for energy-saving trehalose production with potential for inhibiting microbial contamination by alkaline condition.

Bioactive peptides have great potentials as nutraceutical and pharmaceutical agents that can improve human health. The objectives of this research were to produce functional peptides from ovotransferrin, a major egg white protein, using single enzyme treatments, and to analyze the properties of the hydrolysates produced. Lyophilized ovotransferrin was dissolved in distilled water at 20 mg/mL, treated with protease, elastase, papain, trypsin, or α-chymotrypsin at 1% (w/v) level of substrate, and incubated for 0-24 h at the optimal temperature of each enzyme (protease 55℃, papain 37℃, elastase 25℃, trypsin 37℃, α-chymotrypsin 37℃). The hydrolysates were tested for antioxidant, metal-chelating, and antimicrobial activities. Protease, papain, trypsin, and α-chymotrypsin hydrolyzed ovotransferrin relatively well after 3 h of incubation, but it took 24 h with elastase to reach a similar degree of hydrolysis. The hydrolysates obtained after 3 h of incubation with protease, papain, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, and after 24 h with elastase were selected as the best products to analyze their functional properties. None of the hydrolysates exhibited antioxidant properties in the oil emulsion nor antimicrobial property at 20 mg/mL concentration. However, ovotransferrin with α-chymotrypsin and with elastase had higher Fe³⁺-chelating activities (1.06±0.88%, 1.25±0.24%) than the native ovotransferrin (0.46±0.60%). Overall, the results indicated that the single-enzyme treatments of ovotransferrin were not effective to produce peptides with antioxidant, antimicrobial, or Fe³⁺-chelating activity. Further research on the effects of enzyme combinations may be needed.

Camel milk plays a critical role in the diet of peoples belongs to the semi-arid and arid regions. Since prehistoric times, camel milk marketing was limited due to lacking the processing facilities in the camel-rearing areas, nomads practiced the self-consumption of raw and fermented camel milk. A better understanding of the techno-functional properties of camel milk is required for product improvement to address market and customer needs. Despite the superior nutraceutical and health promoting potential, limited camel dairy products are available compared to other bovines. It is a challenging impetus for the dairy industry to provide diversified camel dairy products to consumers with superior nutritional and functional qualities. The physicochemical behavior and characteristics of camel milk is different than the bovine milk, which poses processing and technological challenges. Traditionally camel milk is only processed into various fermented and non-fermented products; however, the production of commercially important dairy products (cheese, butter, yogurt, and milk powder) from camel milk still needs to be processed successfully. Therefore, the industrial processing and transformation of camel milk into various products, including fermented dairy products, pasteurized milk, milk powder, cheese, and other products, require the development of new technologies based on applied research. This review highlights camel milk's processing constraints and techno-functional properties while presenting the challenges associated with processing the milk into various dairy products. Future research directions to improve product quality have also been discussed.

본 연구는 그라비올라 잎 에탄올 추출물(AME)의 항염증 효과에 관하여 알아보기 위하여 LPS에 의해 유도되는 대식세포 염증모델에 AME를 병용 처리하여 다양한 염증매개인자들의 분비능 및 염증억제 기전에 관하여 알아보았다. LPS의 처리에 따라 염증반응이 유도된 RAW 264.7 대식세포에 AME를 병용 처리하였을 때, NO 및 염증성 cytokine(IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 $IL-1{\beta}$)의 분비능이 유의적으로(P<0.05) 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, AME의 처리에 따라 염증반응의 매개인자인 iNOS 및 COX-2 발현이 유의적으로(P<0.05) 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 항염증 활성의 기전에 관하여 분석한 결과 염증성 단백질 발현의 전사인자인 $NF-{\kappa}B$와 MAPKs 신호전달 경로 억제를 통하여 추출물의 항염증 활성이 나타난다는 사실을 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 통하여 AME의 처리는 염증반응의 전사인자인 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 발현을 조절함으로써 iNOS 및 COX-2의 발현을 억제하고, 염증성 매개인자인 NO 및 cytokine(IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 $IL-1{\beta}$)의 분비를 억제한다고 판단된다.

치자 껍질의 항산화 활성을 측정하기 위하여 70% methanol, distilled water (DW) 및 ethyl acetate (EA)의 3가지 용매를 사용한 추출물의 용매 별 flavonoid 함량 및 항산화 활성, 금속 chelating 능력 측정을 통하여 치자 껍질의 기능성 식품 재료로서의 가치를 검토한 결과, 치자 껍질의 proanthocyanidin 함량은 $48.165{\pm}0.811mg\;CE/g\;DW$로 나타났으며, 추출 수율은 70% methanol(36.26%), DW (39.87%), EA (2.88%) 로 나타났다. 추출 용매 별 항산화 활성은 농도(0.2, 0.4, 0.6 mg/mL)가 증가할수록 유의적으로 증가하였으며, control로 사용된 ascorbic acid, BHA, EDTA 보다는 낮은 활성이 관찰되었다. Flavonoid 함량(mg QE/g)은 70% methanol (0.416), DW (0.225), EA(0.212) 순으로 확인되었으며 다른 항산화 분석 및 금속 chelating 능력 실험에서도 이와 유사하게 관찰되어 모든 분석에서 70% methanol 추출물이 가장 활성이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 미루어 볼 때 치자 껍질의 용매 별 flavonoid 함량에 따라 항산화능, 금속 chelating 능력이 증가하는 것으로 사료되며, EA 추출물을 제외한 다른 추출물에서의 수율과 항산화 활성은 높은 수준으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 치자의 껍질은 proanthocyanidin과 flavonoid 화합물을 다량 함유하고 있으며 그로 인한 높은 항산화 활성과 생리활성을 가지고 있어 기능성 식품 및 천연항산화제로서의 가치가 매우 기대된다.
