Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) have shown great promise in various applications. However, mass production of MXenes suffers from the excessive use of toxic fluorine-containing reagents. Herein, a new method was validated for synthesizing MXenes from five MAX ceramics. The method features a minimized (stoichiometric) dosage of F-containing reagent (NaBF4) and polyols (glycerol, erythritol, and xylitol) as the reaction solvent. Due to the sweetness of polyols and the low environmental impact, we refer to this method as a "sweet" synthesis of MXenes. An in-depth molecular dynamics simulation study, combined with experimental kinetic parameters, further revealed that the diffusion of F- in the confined interplanar space is rate-determining for the etching reaction. The expansion of interlayer spacing by polyols effectively reduces the diffusion activation energy of F- and accelerates the etching reaction.

Effect of coatings containing 1-methylcyclopropane or mandarin peel extract on the freshness and metabolic profiles of cold stored strawberry. Food Chem 2024; 461:140819. [PMID: 39153372 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
The application of coatings is a strategy for maintaining the freshness of highly perishable fruits. This research aimed to evaluate the quality indices of strawberries (Amaou) coated with new coatings based on the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and cellulose nanofibres (CNF) with incorporated mandarin peel extract (ME) or 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) during storage at 20days at 5 °C and 85% relative humidity (RH). Dissolving the coating solution containing ME in 1-MCP maintained its colour for up to 50 days. Coatings enhanced with ME and/or 1-MCP maintained fresh strawberries more effectively than the control, reducing weight loss and maintaining firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), citric acid, colour, and total phenolic content. The CCM2-2 coating solution showed superior effects on the weight loss and relative percentages of strawberry metabolites compared to the other coatings, as confirmed by the different components.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of analytical methods for measuring furan levels in food. Given the potential carcinogenicity of furans in humans, several studies have focused on assessing furan levels in various food products. In this review, we specifically examine furan levels in foods that are central to regional culinary traditions and summarize the results of country-specific risk assessments. Consequently, we have identified foods that contribute significantly to dietary furan exposure in each region. Coffee and baby foods, regardless of region, emerged as the primary sources of furan intake among adults and infants, respectively. Several previous studies have been conducted to develop various mitigation strategies aimed at reducing exposure to furan through food intake. Therefore, in this paper, we categorize effective mitigation strategies into two main groups: alterations to processing conditions and the addition or removal of food additives and ingredients.

[PMID: 38842092 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehae244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The pathways and metabolites that contribute to residual cardiovascular disease risks are unclear. Low-calorie sweeteners are widely used sugar substitutes in processed foods with presumed health benefits. Many low-calorie sweeteners are sugar alcohols that also are produced endogenously, albeit at levels over 1000-fold lower than observed following consumption as a sugar substitute. METHODS Untargeted metabolomics studies were performed on overnight fasting plasma samples in a discovery cohort (n = 1157) of sequential stable subjects undergoing elective diagnostic cardiac evaluations; subsequent stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analyses were performed on an independent, non-overlapping validation cohort (n = 2149). Complementary isolated human platelet, platelet-rich plasma, whole blood, and animal model studies examined the effect of xylitol on platelet responsiveness and thrombus formation in vivo. Finally, an intervention study was performed to assess the effects of xylitol consumption on platelet function in healthy volunteers (n = 10). RESULTS In initial untargeted metabolomics studies (discovery cohort), circulating levels of a polyol tentatively assigned as xylitol were associated with incident (3-year) major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) risk. Subsequent stable isotope dilution LC-MS/MS analyses (validation cohort) specific for xylitol (and not its structural isomers) confirmed its association with incident MACE risk [third vs. first tertile adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval), 1.57 (1.12-2.21), P < .01]. Complementary mechanistic studies showed xylitol-enhanced multiple indices of platelet reactivity and in vivo thrombosis formation at levels observed in fasting plasma. In interventional studies, consumption of a xylitol-sweetened drink markedly raised plasma levels and enhanced multiple functional measures of platelet responsiveness in all subjects. CONCLUSIONS Xylitol is associated with incident MACE risk. Moreover, xylitol both enhanced platelet reactivity and thrombosis potential in vivo. Further studies examining the cardiovascular safety of xylitol are warranted.

Abstract
Prebiotics play a pivotal role in fostering probiotics, essential contributors to the creation and maintenance of a conducive environment for beneficial microbiota within the human gut. To qualify as a prebiotic, a substance must demonstrate resilience to stomach enzymes, acidic pH levels, and intestinal bacteria, remaining unabsorbed in the digestive system while remaining accessible to gut microflora. The integration of prebiotics and probiotics into our daily diet establishes a cornerstone for optimal health, a priority for health-conscious consumers emphasizing nutrition that supports a balanced gut flora. Prebiotics offer diverse biological functions in humans, exhibiting antiobesity, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and cholesterol-lowering properties, along with preventing digestive disorders. Numerous dietary fibers possessing prebiotic attributes are inadvertently present in our diets, emphasizing the broader significance of prebiotics. It is crucial to recognize that, while all dietary fibers are prebiotics, not all prebiotics fall under the category of dietary fibers. The versatile applications of prebiotics extend across various industries, such as dairy, bakery, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other food products. This comprehensive review provides insights into different prebiotics, encompassing their sources, chemical compositions, and applications within the food industry.

Abstract
The co-administration of curcumin and hesperetin might be beneficial in terms of neuroprotective activity; therefore, in this study, we attempted to develop a fixed-dose formulation comprising these two compounds in an amorphous state. The aim of obtaining an amorphous state was to overcome the limitations of the low solubility of the active compounds. First, we assessed the possibility of using popular sweeteners (erythritol, xylitol, and sorbitol) as plasticizers to reduce the glass transition temperature of PVP K30 to prepare the polymer-excipient blends, which allowed the preparation of amorphous solid dispersions via hot-melt extrusion at a temperature below the original glass transition of PVP K30. Erythritol proved to be the superior plasticizer. Then, we focused on the development of fixed-dose amorphous solid dispersions of curcumin and hesperetin. Powder X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis confirmed the amorphous character of dispersions, whereas infrared spectroscopy helped to assess the presence of intermolecular interactions. The amorphous state of the produced dispersions was maintained for 6 months, as shown in a stability study. Pharmaceutical parameters such as dissolution rate, solubility, and in vitro permeability through artificial membranes were evaluated. The best improvement in these features was noted for the dispersion, which contained 15% of the total content of the active compounds with erythritol used as the plasticizer.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition marked by high blood glucose levels caused by inadequate insulin synthesis or poor insulin use. This condition affects millions of individuals worldwide and is linked to a variety of consequences, including cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy. Diabetes therapy now focuses on controlling blood glucose levels through lifestyle changes, oral medicines, and insulin injections. However, these therapies have limits and may not successfully prevent or treat diabetic problems. Several marine-derived chemicals have previously demonstrated promising findings as possible antidiabetic medicines in preclinical investigations. Peptides, polyphenols, and polysaccharides extracted from seaweeds, sponges, and other marine species are among them. As a result, marine natural products have the potential to be a rich source of innovative multitargeted medications for diabetes prevention and treatment, as well as associated complications. Future research should focus on the chemical variety of marine creatures as well as the mechanisms of action of marine-derived chemicals in order to find new antidiabetic medicines and maximize their therapeutic potential. Based on preclinical investigations, this review focuses on the next step for seaweed applications as potential multitargeted medicines for diabetes, highlighting the bioactivities of seaweeds in the prevention and treatment of this illness.

Abstract
Four natural sweeteners (sucrose, xylitol, fructose, and isomalt) were selected to examine the influence of their qualities and amounts on the characteristics of orodispersible films. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (2% w/w) was utilized as the film-forming polymer and 1% w/w glycerol as a plasticizer. Films were produced through the solvent casting method, rendering them suitable for convenient application in community or hospital pharmacy settings. The physicochemical and optical properties of the films were analyzed, and Fourier-transform infrared analysis was carried out. All films exhibited acceptable disintegration time, uniformity of mass, thickness, and optical characteristics, with significant dependence (p<0.05) on both sweetener type and quantity. Disintegration time varied based on the employed method, as well as the characteristics and amount of sweetener. Additionally, all films maintained pH values within the oral cavity range, suggesting no potential irritancy upon administration. Fourier-transform infrared analysis confirmed the formation of the film and demonstrated compatibility between its components.

Abstract
A fruit leather (apple and acáchul berry) oriented toward women of reproductive age was developed. The snack was supplemented with an ingredient composed of folic acid (FA) and whey proteins (WPI) to ensure the required vitamin intake to prevent fetal neural tube defects. In order to generate a low-calorie snack, alternative sweeteners were used (stevia and maltitol). The fruit leather composition was determined. Also, an in vitro digestion process was carried out to evaluate the bioaccessibility of compounds with antioxidant capacity (AC), total polyphenols (TPCs), total monomeric anthocyanins (ACY), and FA. The quantification of FA was conducted by a microbiological method and by HPLC. The leather contained carbohydrates (70%) and antioxidant compounds, mainly from fruits. Bioaccessibility was high for AC (50%) and TPCs (90%), and low for ACY (17%). Regarding FA, bioaccessibility was higher for WPI-FA (50%) than for FA alone (37%), suggesting that WPI effectively protected the vitamin from processing and digestion. Furthermore, the product was shown to be non-cytotoxic in a Caco-2 cell model. The developed snack is an interesting option due to its low energy intake, no added sugar, and high content of bioactive compounds. Also, the supplementation with WPI-FA improved the conservation and bioaccessibility of FA.

Abstract
The consumption of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) is on the rise among different populations. In parallel, the debate about their potential health benefits and risks remains inconclusive. Numerous published studies elucidate the impact of NNS on general health, weight control, and the risk of certain diseases. However, no definitive conclusions regarding the effect of chronic NNS use on weight have been reached in humans. This review summarizes current evidence related to the biological role of NNS and their subsequent effects on weight. The mechanisms of action through which NNS impact weight are discussed, including their effect on sweet taste receptors, cognition, metabolic and endocrine functions, intestinal microbiota, and adiposity. Conflicting evidence is hindering the formulation of precise recommendations, but the evidence opposing the use of NNS remains weak, and the ultimate impact on weight largely relies on several other behavioral patterns.

Abstract
Exploring novel sources of plant protein for nutrition of both humans and animals is motivated mainly by its growing demand worldwide, besides identifying healthy alternatives for animal protein. The present study evaluates metabolome diversity within 15 legume seed species. The examined samples comprised three Melilotus, four Medicago, four Trifolium, and four Ononis seed species. A holistic approach for metabolites profiling using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) led to the annotation and quantification of 87 metabolites comprising alcohols, free amino acids, aromatics, fatty acids/esters, nitrogenous compounds, organic acids, sugar alcohols, sugars, terpenes, and steroids. Fatty acids represented the major metabolite class represented by palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. Sucrose and pinitol were the major sugars and sugar alcohols among seeds. Ononis seeds (OR, OS and OA) were the most abundant in fatty acids, sugars, sugar alcohols, and free amino acids, whereas Melilotus species (MO and MS) were least enriched in these key nutrients posing Ononis as potential food source for humans and animals. The examined seeds were generally low in sulfur-containing free amino acids and lacking many of the essential free amino acids. Multivariate data analysis aided in the identification of Ononis metabolite markers belonging to various classes i.e., (alcohol) glycerol, (sugar) allofuranose, and (sugar alcohol) pinitol, although the differentiation between Medicago, Melilotus, and Trifolium genera was not attained suggestive for other analytical platforms for its classification.

Abstract
Successful sucrose replacement in cake systems requires thorough understanding of its functionality. Time-domain 1H NMR showed that water in the viscous aqueous phase isolated from cake batter by ultracentrifugation [i.e. the batter liquor (BL)] exhibits low mobility by its low T2 relaxation time (T2,D RT). This is due to its interactions with sucrose or sucrose replacers. The T2,D RT itself is positively related with the effective volumetric hydrogen bond density of sucrose or sucrose replacers. Sucrose additionally co-determines the quantity and viscosity of cake BL and thereby how much air the batter contains at the end of mixing. Like sucrose, maltitol and oligofructose provide adequate volumes of BL with low water mobility and thus sufficient air in the batter, while the rather insoluble mannitol and inulin do not. Differential scanning calorimetry and rapid viscosity analysis revealed, however, that, in contrast to sucrose and maltitol, oligofructose fails to provide appropriate timings of starch gelatinisation and protein denaturation, resulting in poor cake texture. The shortcomings of mannitol and oligofructose in terms of respectively ensuring appropriate gas content in batter and biopolymer transitions during baking can be overcome by using mixtures thereof. This work shows that successful sucrose substitutes or substitute mixtures must provide sufficient BL with low water mobility and ensure appropriate timings of starch and protein biopolymer transitions during baking.

Abstract
Allitol is a hexitol produced by reducing the rare sugar D-allulose with a metal catalyst under hydrogen gas. To confirm the safe level of allitol, we conducted a series of safety assessments. From the results of Ames mutagenicity assay using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537, Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA, and an in vitro chromosomal aberration test on cultured Chinese hamster cells, allitol did not show any significant genotoxic effect. No significant effects on general condition, urinalysis, hematology, physiology, histopathology, or at necropsy were observed at a dose of 1500 mg/kg body weight of allitol in the acute and 90-day subchronic oral-toxicity assessments for rats. A further study performed on healthy adult humans showed that the acute use level of allitol for diarrhea was 0.2 g/kg body weight for both men and women. The results of current safety assessment studies suggest that allitol is safe for human consumption.

Abstract
Most of the world's annual production of mannitol is by chemical means, but, due to increasing demand for natural sweeteners, alternative production methods are being sought. The aim of the study was to screen Yarrowia lipolytica yeast strains and select culture conditions for the efficient and selective biosynthesis of mannitol from glycerol. From 21 strains examined in the shake-flask culture for mannitol biosynthesis from glycerol (100 g/L), three strains were selected-S2, S3, and S4-and further evaluated in batch bioreactor cultures with technical and raw glycerol (150 g/L). The best production parameters were observed for strain S3, which additionally was found to be the most resistant to NaCl concentration. Next, strain S3 was examined in batch culture with regard to the initial glycerol concentration (from 50 to 250 g/L). It was found that the substrate concentrations of 50 and 75 g/L resulted in the highest mannitol selectivity, about 70%. The fed-batch culture system proposed in this paper (performed in two variants in which glycerol was dosed in four portions of about 50 or 75 g/L) resulted in increased mannitol production, up to 78.5 g/L.

Abstract
The current trend of chemical industries demands green processing, in particular with employing natural substances such as sugar-derived compounds. This matter has encouraged academic and industrial sections to seek new alternatives for extracting these materials. Ionic liquids (ILs) are currently paving the way for efficient extraction processes. To this end, accurate estimation of solubility data is of great importance. This study relies on machine learning methods for modeling the solubility data of sugar alcohols (SAs) in ILs. An initial relevancy analysis approved that the SA-IL equilibrium governs by the temperature, density and molecular weight of ILs, as well as the molecular weight, fusion temperature, and fusion enthalpy of SAs. Also, temperature and fusion temperature have the strongest influence on the SAs solubility in ILs. The performance of artificial neural networks (ANNs), least-squares support vector regression (LSSVR), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) to predict SA solubility in ILs were compared utilizing a large databank (647 data points of 19 SAs and 21 ILs). Among the investigated models, ANFIS offered the best accuracy with an average absolute relative deviation (AARD%) of 7.43% and a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.98359. The best performance of the ANFIS model was obtained with a cluster center radius of 0.435 when trained with 85% of the databank. Further analyses of the ANFIS model based on the leverage method revealed that this model is reliable enough due to its high level of coverage and wide range of applicability. Accordingly, this model can be effectively utilized in modeling the solubilities of SAs in ILs.

Abstract
This study aims to develop a multigrain probiotic biscuit and evaluate the effect of erythritol as a sugar replacer on the rheological properties of dough, along with the physicochemical and organoleptic properties of biscuits. The higher viscoelasticity of dough was observed at a 25% sugar replacement level with erythritol, and the calorific value of biscuits was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced from 415.12 to 404.69 Cal/100 g with increasing in the sugar replacement from 0% to 75%. The biscuits with higher concentrations of erythritol showed reduced water activity (aw) and higher hardness values. From Pearson's correlation analysis, it was observed that the probiotic viability had a positive relation with moisture, fat, energy, aw, and diameter and a negative association with the protein and fiber content of biscuits. The 25% replacement of sugar with erythritol showed a higher probiotic count (> 7 log CFU/g) and improved physicochemical and sensory properties during the storage period, which was further confirmed by the principal component analysis. So, it was recommended that the partial replacement of sugar with erythritol up to 25% is desirable for developing low-calorie bakery products without any alteration in the functional groups and improving the internal structure of the biscuits.

Abstract
Erythritol, one of the natural sugar alcohols, is widely used as a sugar substitute sweetener in food industries. Humans themselves are not able to catabolize erythritol and their gut microbes lack related catabolic pathways either to metabolize erythritol. Here, Escherichia coli (E. coli) is engineered to utilize erythritol as sole carbon source aiming for defined applications. First, the erythritol metabolic gene cluster is isolated and the erythritol-binding transcriptional repressor and its DNA-binding site are experimentally characterized. Transcriptome analysis suggests that carbohydrate metabolism-related genes in the engineered E. coli are overall upregulated. In particular, the enzymes of transaldolase (talA and talB) and transketolase (tktA and tktB) are notably overexpressed (e.g., the expression of tktB is improved by nearly sixfold). By overexpression of the four genes, cell growth can be increased as high as three times compared to the cell cultivation without overexpression. Finally, engineered E. coli strains can be used as a living detector to distinguish erythritol-containing soda soft drinks and can grow in the simulated intestinal fluid supplemented with erythritol. This work is expected to inspire the engineering of more hosts to respond and utilize erythritol for broad applications in metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and biomedical engineering.

Abstract
Caking of crystalline sugar alcohols is a deleterious and undesired agglomeration process during storage in the food industry. Compared with the time-consuming and labor-intensive conventional caking assessment methods, this work develops a rapid methodology for evaluation of the critical caking cycle of xylitol with over 85% time-saving and 90% labor-saving while guaranteeing the precision accuracy. By developing a Caking-Hygroscopicity-Particle size crystal bridge growth model, the correlation and quantitative relationships among hygroscopic properties, particle size and the critical caking cycle are firstly established and confirmed, which can greatly simplify the most time-consuming and laborious experiments of water sorption measurements and caking tests. Besides, the knowledge obtained can help guide the rapid selection of storage humidity conditions and appropriate particle size distributions for maintaining the desired properties and competitive marketability of crystalline sugar alcohols.

Abstract
This study reports the possibility of obtaining sugar-free WPI-based macarons with erythritol addition. The whey protein isolate (WPI) solution (20%, w/v) was whipped, and erythritol was added to the foam at concentrations of 20, 40, and 60 g, with 125 g of almond flour. The rheological properties (τ, G', G″, and tan (δ)) and stability of the macaron batters before baking were evaluated. In order to produce the macarons, the batters were solidified at 147 °C for 12 min. The textural and surface properties (roughness and color), as well as the microstructures and water activities, were determined for the macarons. It was feasible to produce macarons over the entire range of the tested erythritol content. Even the smallest amount of erythritol (20 g) facilitated the preservation of the macaron structure. The medium erythritol concentration (40 g) improved the stability of the batters and their rheology and was the most effective for air pocket stabilization during baking; however, its largest addition (60 g) resulted in an increase in the final macaron volume. The increased erythritol addition improved mechanical properties and shelf life, producing a smoothing effect on the macaron surfaces and having a significant effect on their color co-ordinates.

Abstract
A direct transformation of non-preactivated benzyl alcohols to benzyl stannanes and benzyl silanes was realized through Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-O activation process. By using versatile tin and silicon sources, these reactions exhibit a broad substrate scope and a high efficiency under mild conditions, affording functionalized benzyl and allylic stannanes and benzylsilanes with high yields. The successful implementation of gram-scale stannylation/silylation as well as the one-pot Stille coupling reaction demonstrates the potential application of this method in organic synthesis. Both experimental and theoretical investigations reveal the mechanistic details of this reaction.

Abstract
Probiotics and prebiotics together work synergistically as synbiotics and confer various health benefits. Many studies on synbiotic foods only focus on the survival of probiotics but fail to evaluate their functional properties. The impact on functional properties should be explored to better understand its therapeutic efficacy. In this work, probiotics (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NCIM 2083) were encapsulated with prebiotics (fructooligosaccharide + whey protein + maltodextrin) using spray-drying (SD), freeze-drying (FD), spray-freeze-drying (SFD), and refractance window-drying (RWD) techniques. Aggregation, intestinal adhesion, antagonistic activity, and bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity of probiotics were studied before and after the encapsulation process. The SFD probiotics showed better aggregation ability (79% at 24-h incubation), on par with free cells (FC) (81% at 24-h incubation). The co-aggregation ability of encapsulated probiotics has drastic variations with each pathogenic strain. The adhesion ability of probiotics in chicken intestinal mucus was assessed by the crystal violet method, indicating no significant variations between FC and SFD probiotics. Also, encapsulated probiotics exhibit antagonistic activity (zone of inhibition in mm) against gut pathogens E. coli (11.33 to 17.34), S. faecalis (8.83 to 15.32), L. monocytogenes (13.67 to 18), S. boydii (12.17 to 15.5), and S. typhi (2.17 to 6.86). Overall, these studies confirm the significance and impact of various drying techniques on the functionality of encapsulated probiotics in synbiotic powders. KEY POINTS: • Understanding the relevance of processing effects on the functionality of probiotics. • Spray-freeze-dried probiotics showed superior functional properties. • The encapsulation process had no significant impact on bile salt hydrolase activity.

3D-Printed Fast-Dissolving Oral Dosage Forms via Fused Deposition Modeling Based on Sugar Alcohol and Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)-Preparation, Drug Release Studies and In Vivo Oral Absorption.

Abstract
Three-dimensional printing technology holds marked promise for the pharmaceutical industry and is now under intense investigation. Most research is aimed at a greater efficiency in printing oral dosage forms using powder bed printing or fused deposition modeling (FDM). Oral dosage forms printed by FDM tend to be hard objects, which reduce the risk of cracking and chipping. However, one challenge in printing oral dosage forms via FDM is achieving rapid drug release, because the materials for FDM are basically thermoplastic polymers with slow drug release properties. In this study, we investigated printing a fast-dissolving oral dosage form by adding sugar alcohol to a poly(vinyl alcohol)-based formulation for FDM. Filaments which contain sugar alcohol were successfully prepared, and objects were printed with them as oral dosage forms by FDM. On drug release testing, a printed oral dosage form in a ring shape which contained 55% maltitol showed a more than 85% drug release in 15 min. In vivo oral absorption of this printed oral dosage form in dogs was comparable to that of a conventional fast-dissolving tablet. Of particular interest, the drug release profile and drug amount of the oral dosage forms can be easily controlled by a change in shape using 3D Computer Aided Design. These characteristics will encourage the prevalence of FDM by the pharmaceutical industry, and contribute to the promotion of personalized medicine.

Abstract
Analysis of small molecules is essential to metabolomics, natural products, drug discovery, food technology, and many other areas of interest. Current barriers preclude from identifying the constituent molecules in a mixture as overlapping clusters of NMR lines pose a major challenge in resolving signature frequencies for individual molecules. While homonuclear decoupling techniques produce much simplified pure shift spectra, they often affect sensitivity. Conversion of typical NMR spectra to pure shift spectra by signal processing without a priori knowledge about the coupling patterns is essential for accurate analysis. We developed a super-resolved wavelet packet transform based 1H NMR spectroscopy that can be used in high-throughput studies to reliably decouple individual constituents of small molecule mixtures. We demonstrate the efficacy of the method on the model mixtures of saccharides and amino acids in the presence of significant noise.

Multivariate Data Analysis and Central Composite Design-Oriented Optimization of Solid Carriers for Formulation of Curcumin-Loaded Solid SNEDDS: Dissolution and Bioavailability Assessment. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:2395. [PMID: 36365213 PMCID: PMC9697677 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14112395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The study was initiated with two major purposes: investigating the role of isomalt (GIQ9) as a pharmaceutical carrier for solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (S-SNEDDSs) and improving the oral bioavailability of lipophilic curcumin (CUN). GIQ9 has never been explored for solidification of liquid lipid-based nanoparticles such as a liquid isotropic mixture of a SNEDDS containing oil, surfactant and co-surfactant. The suitability of GIQ9 as a carrier was assessed by calculating the loading factor, flow and micromeritic properties. The S-SNEDDSs were prepared by surface adsorption technique. The formulation variables were optimized using central composite design (CCD). The optimized S-SNEDDS was evaluated for differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), microscopy, dissolution and pharmacokinetic studies. The S-SNEDDS showed a particle size, zeta potential and PDI of 97 nm, -26.8 mV and 0.354, respectively. The results of DSC, XRD, FTIR and microscopic studies revealed that the isotropic mixture was adsorbed onto the solid carrier. The L-SNEDDS and S-SNEDDS showed no significant difference in drug release, indicating no change upon solidification. The optimized S-SNEDDS showed 5.1-fold and 61.7-fold enhancement in dissolution rate and oral bioavailability as compared to the naïve curcumin. The overall outcomes of the study indicated the suitability of GIQ9 as a solid carrier for SNEDDSs.

Effect of polyols on membrane structures of liposomes: A study using small-angle X-ray scattering data and generalized indirect Fourier transformation. Chem Phys Lipids 2022; 249:105253.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the membrane structure of distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) liposomes dispersed in water containing various types of polyols with low molecular weight such as glycerin (Gly), 1,3-butandiol (BG), and propylene glycol (PG). To clarify the detailed membrane structure, generalized indirect Fourier transformation (GIFT) analysis, which provides information about the bilayer spacing, bilayer thickness, number of lamellar layers, and membrane flexibility, was applied to small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data of the present system. The GIFT results showed that the bilayer thickness of the DSPC liposomes followed the order Gly>>BG>PG. In addition, the membrane flexibility estimated by the Caille parameter was in the order Gly>>BG>PG; this result was supported by the gel-liquid crystal phase transition temperature (Tc) obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). These results, together with the Raman spectra, suggest that BG and PG incorporated into the bilayers of DSPC liposomes result in the formation of an interdigitated lamellar structure.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the metabolic profile of post-culture medium as an expression of cell suspension metabolic activity of the tree fern Cyathea delgadii Sternb. The molecular profile of the tree fern’s cell culture has been never described, according to our knowledge. The cell suspension was established using ½ MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-D and BAP. The optimal concentrations were 2.0 mg·L−1 and 0.2 mg·L−1, respectively. The cell suspension initially showed an organized system of cell division and later unorganized cell proliferation. LC-MS and GC-MS were used to identify the chemical composition of the post-culture medium. The LC-MS analysis results suggested that the color of liquid medium could be due to the presence of flavonoid derivatives, as this group of compounds was represented by eight compounds. After GC-MS analysis based on retention indexes and thanks to mass spectra comparison, 130 natural products were recognized, belonging to various classes of primary and secondary metabolites.

Abstract
We present a qNMR method for the determination of low calories sweeteners (erythritol, mannitol, maltitol, sorbitol, isomalt and xylitol) in sugar-free foodstuff. The structural similarities of these compounds determine often a severe spectral overlap that hampers their quantification via conventional 1D and 2D NMR spectra. This problem is here overcome by exploiting the resolving capabilities of the CSSF-TOCSY experiment, allowing the quantification of all six polyols, with satisfactory results in terms of LoQ (2.8-7.4 mg/L for xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, 15 mg/L for erythritol, 38 mg/L for maltitol and 91 mg/L for isomalt), precision (RSD% 0.40-4.03), trueness (bias% 0.15-4.81), and recovery (98-104%). Polyol's quantification in different sugar-free confectionary products was performed after a simple water extraction without any additional sample treatment. While these results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method for polyols quantification in low calories foods, its applicability can be further extended to other food matrices or biofluids.

Abstract
Insecticide application for vector control is the most controversial component of a public health program due to concerns about environmental and human health safety. One approach to overcome this challenge is the use of environmentally benign active ingredients. Among the most promising emerging strategies are attractive toxic sugar baits. Sugar alcohols-naturally occurring molecules safe for human consumption but potentially toxic to insects when ingested, have received increased attention for use with this approach. For this study, we screened the toxicity of four different sugar alcohols on several mosquito species, a biting midge, and a filth fly. Sugar alcohol mortalities exceeded those in the sucrose (positive control) only group. However, only erythritol and highly concentrated xylitol induced mortalities exceeding those in the water only (negative control) treatment ranging from approximately 40-75%. Formulations containing erythritol and xylitol should be further investigated under field conditions for efficacy in reducing populations of biting flies and for assessing potential non-target impacts.

Abstract
Improved human material living standards have resulted in a continuous increase in the rate of obesity caused by excessive sugar intake. Consequently, the number of diabetic patients has skyrocketed, not only resulting in a global health problem but also causing huge medical pressure on the government. Limiting sugar intake is a serious problem in many countries worldwide. To this end, the market for sugar substitute products, such as artificial sweeteners and natural sugar substitutes (NSS), has begun to rapidly grow. In contrast to controversial artificial sweeteners, NSS, which are linked to health concepts, have received particular attention. This review focuses on the extraction technology and biomedical function of NSS, with a view of generating insights to improve extraction for its large-scale application. Further, we highlight research progress in the use of NSS as food for special medical purpose (FSMP) for patients.

Abstract
Cruciferous vegetables, also known as brassicaceae vegetables, are widely consumed worldwide for their nutritive and substantial health benefits. Compositional heterogeneity was explored in six cruciferous vegetables viz, cauliflower, turnip, broccoli, watercress, radish and cabbage leaves targeting their aroma and nutrients profile. A headspace solid-phase micro extraction (HS-SPME) technique combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was employed for metabolite profiling. Results revealed extensive variation in volatiles and nonvolatile profiles among the six cruciferous vegetables. A total of 55 nutrient metabolites were identified, whereas a total of 190 volatiles were detected. Aldehydes and ketones appeared as the most discriminatory among leaves, accounting for its distinct aroma. Furthermore, chemometric analysis of both datasets showed clear classification of the six vegetables, with several key novel markers. This study provides the first comparative study between edible and inedible parts of cruciferous vegetables, suggesting novel uses as functional foods.

Abstract
Alditols, which have a sweet taste but produce much lower calories than natural sugars, are widely used as artificial sweeteners. Alditols are the reduced forms of monosaccharide aldoses, and different alditols are diastereomers or epimers of each other and direct and rapid identification by conventional methods is difficult. Nanopores, which are emerging single-molecule sensors with exceptional resolution when engineered appropriately, are useful for the recognition of diastereomers and epimers. In this work, direct distinguishing of alditols corresponding to all 15 monosaccharide aldoses was achieved by a boronic acid-appended hetero-octameric Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A (MspA) nanopore (MspA-PBA). Thirteen alditols including glycerol, erythritol, threitol, adonitol, arabitol, xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, allitol, dulcitol, iditol, talitol, and gulitol (l-sorbitol) could be fully distinguished, and their sensing features constitute a complete nanopore alditol database. To automate event classification, a custom machine-learning algorithm was developed and delivered a 99.9% validation accuracy. This strategy was also used to identify alditol components in commercially available "zero-sugar" drinks and healthcare products, suggesting their use in rapid and sensitive quality control for the food and medical industry.

Abstract
Edible mushrooms are widely appreciated for their appealing flavours, low caloric values and high content of presumably health-protecting metabolites. Their long history of safe use together with the looming worldwide food crisis have revived the idea of generating meat analogues and protein isolates by the controlled fermentation of mycelia of these edible fungi as a dietary option. The occurrence of proteins, polysaccharides, smaller metabolites, metal ions and toxins in mycelia and fruiting bodies is compared among the three most popular species, Agaricus bisporus (button mushroom), Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom), Lentinus edodes (shiitake) and some closely related species. Large effects of substrate chemistry, strain, developmental stage and ecological interactions result in a wide variation of the concentrations of some metabolites in both mycelial cells and fruiting bodies. This is obviously a result of the high adaptation abilities required to survive in natural habitats. Fungal bioprocesses are decoupled from agricultural production and can be operated anytime, anywhere, and on any scale according to demand. It is concluded that fungal biomass, if produced under food-grade conditions and on an industrial scale, could provide a safe and nutritious meat substitute and protein isolates with a high biological value for future vegan foods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pest insects are often baited with poisoned feeding stimulants, the most common of which are sugars. However, sugars are attractive for most animal species, which makes it difficult to target only a specific pest insect species. Here, we assessed different sugar alcohols for their potential as more species-selective feeding stimulants for pest insects. RESULTS We tested the attractiveness of the sugar alcohols sorbitol, xylitol and erythritol with a capillary feeder assay in wasps (as potential pest insects, because introduced wasps are a pest in many regions) and bees (as non-target insects). For the common wasp (Vespula vulgaris), sorbitol and xylitol acted as nutritive feeding stimulants, and erythritol acted as a non-nutritive feeding stimulant. For the buff-tailed bumble bee (Bombus terrestris), sorbitol acted as a feeding stimulant, while for the honey bee (Apis mellifera), none of the sugar alcohols acted as feeding stimulant. CONCLUSION The species-specific preferences for sugar alcohols suggest their potential as species-selective insect baits. The wasp-specific preference for xylitol suggests its potential as a bee-safe alternative to sugar-containing bait for controlling the common wasp. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
5-Keto-D-fructose (5-KF) is a natural diketone occurring in micromolar concentrations in honey, white wine, and vinegar. The oxidation of D-fructose to 5-KF is catalyzed by the membrane-bound fructose dehydrogenase complex found in several acetic acid bacteria. Since 5-KF has a sweetening power comparable to fructose and is presumably calorie-free, there is great interest in making the diketone commercially available as a new sugar substitute. Based on a genetically modified variant of the acetic acid bacterium Gluconobacter oxydans 621H, an efficient process for the microbial production of 5-KF was recently developed. However, data on the toxicology of the compound are completely lacking to date. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of 5-KF on the viability of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It was found that the compound significantly inhibited the growth of the gram-positive and gram-negative model organisms Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, cell viability assays confirmed severe cytotoxicity of 5-KF toward the colon cancer cell line HT-29. Since these effects already occurred at concentrations of 5 mM, the use of 5-KF in the food sector should be avoided. The studies performed revealed that in the presence of amines, 5-KF promoted a strong Maillard reaction. The inherent reactivity of 5-KF as well as the Maillard products formed could be the trigger for the observed inhibition of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to evaluate optimal concentration of polyols (maltitol and xylitol) by applying mixture design for the formulation of milk chocolate. The influences of polyols as sucrose substitutes on the main physicochemical parameters and sensory perception were determined. The optimization of the variables demonstrated that utilizing 85.58% maltitol and 14.42% xylitol yielded the optimum milk chocolate with the highest desirability without unpleasant alterations in the quality characteristics. Chocolates possessing high concentrations of maltitol pleased the consumer demand. The outcomes indicated that sucrose replacement by polyols have potential in the formulation of reduced calorie milk chocolates.
