Recent advancements in mogrosides: A review on biological activities, synthetic biology, and applications in the food industry. Food Chem 2024; 449:139277. [PMID: 38608607 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Mogrosides are low-calorie, biologically active sweeteners that face high production costs due to strict cultivation requirements and the low yield of monk fruit. The rapid advancement in synthetic biology holds the potential to overcome this challenge. This review presents mogrosides exhibiting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, and liver protective activities, with their efficacy in diabetes treatment surpassing that of Xiaoke pills (a Chinese diabetes medication). It also discusses the latest elucidated biosynthesis pathways of mogrosides, highlighting the challenges and research gaps in this field. The critical and most challenging step in this pathway is the transformation of mogrol into a variety of mogrosides by different UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs), primarily hindered by the poor substrate selectivity, product specificity, and low catalytic efficiency of current UGTs. Finally, the applications of mogrosides in the current food industry and the challenges they face are discussed.

Abstract
An efficient genetic transformation system is of great significance for verifying gene function and improving plant breeding efficiency by gene engineering. In this study, a stable Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation system of Juglans sigillata Dode 'Qianhe-7' was investigated using callus and negative pressure-assisted and ultrasonic-assisted transformation selection. The results showed that the axillary shoot leaves were suitable to induce callus and the callus proliferation rate could reach 516.27% when induction calli were cultured on DKW medium containing 0.5 mg L-1 indole-3-butyric acid, 1.2 mg L-1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.5 mg L-1 kinetin for 18 d. In addition, negative pressure infection was the optimal infection method with the lowest browning rate (0.00%), high GFP conversion rate (16.67%), and better growth status. To further prove the feasibility of this genetic transformation system, the flavonol synthetase (JsFLS5) gene was successfully transformed into the into leaf-derived callus of 'Qianhe-7'. JsFLS5 expression and the content of total flavonoids in transformed callus were improved significantly compared with the untransformed callus, which proved that we had an efficient and reliable genetic transformation system using leaf-derived callus of Juglans sigillata.

[PMID: 35658789 DOI: 10.1080/07388551.2022.2055995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Cambial meristematic cells (CMCs) culture has received a fair share of scientific and industrial attention among the trending topics of plant cell culture, especially their potential toward secondary metabolites production. However, the conventional plant cell culture is often not commercially feasible because of difficulties associated with culture dedifferentiated cells. Several reports have been published to culture CMCs and bypass the dedifferentiation process in plant cell culture. Numerous mitochondria, multiple vacuoles, genetic stability, self-renewal, higher biomass, and stable metabolites accumulation are the characteristics features of CMCs compared with dedifferentiated cells (DDCs) culture. The CMCs culture has a broader application to produce large-scale natural compounds for: pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetic industries. Cutting-edge progress in plant cellular and molecular biology has allowed unprecedented insights into cambial stem cell culture and its fundamental processes. Therefore, regarding sustainability and natural compound production, cambial cell culture ranks among the most vital biotechnological interventions for industrial and economic perspectives. This review highlights the recent advances in plant stem cell culture and understands the cambial cells induction and culture mechanisms that affect the growth and natural compounds production.
