Nowadays food industries were concentrating on substituting the use of synthetic natural “green” antioxidants. Therefore, the present study focused on lipid oxidations in dried salmon (Salmo salar) with and without natural antioxidants (garlic powder, cinnamon) during different storage conditions, and a comparison was made with a synthetic antioxidant Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Minced salmon fillet mass was divided into four equal parts and each part was treated with natural antioxidant under study except the control. Each of these four parts was dried in two different ways, half portion oven-dried and the other half portion freeze-dried. After 24 weeks, these samples were tested for peroxide value (PV), Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total carbonyl content/water-soluble protein. According to the peroxide value (PV) results, it was noticed that the BHT was found to be the most effective antioxidant, followed by garlic and cinnamon for oven-dried salmon. Cinnamon was found to be more efficient than garlic in minimizing PV formation in freeze-dried salmon. In general, the initial study showed that freeze-drying was more efficient than oven drying. On the other hand, total carbonyl content for oven-dried salmon treated with cinnamon, garlic, and BHT, was found to be similar to the untreated salmon. Freeze-dried antioxidant treated salmon was generally found to possess more carbonyl content over time compared to the oven dried treated salmon.

We tested a variety of antioxidants as possible therapeutic agents in an acute CCl4 mouse model of hepatotoxicity. Liver damage, gauged by the amount of serum aminotransferase released into the blood, morphological changes, lethal dose response, and presence of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), were significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by liposomes containing vitamin E (LVE) or by Rocavit E, a water-soluble emulsion of alpha-tocopherol. Serum aminotransferase levels in LVE- or Rocavit E-treated animals were always > 10-fold lower than levels in corresponding CCl4 controls. Other liposome-associated antioxidants, butylated hydroxytoluene, vitamin E succinate, catalase, desferoxamine, superoxide dismutase, and ascorbic acid 6-palmitate, were also able to elicit a decrease in damage; however, they were substantially less effective. Intravenous therapy with LVE decreased mortality by nearly 90% when a lethal dose of CCl4 was given. When the biodistribution of the liposomes was examined, it was determined that the vast majority were localized in the Kupffer cell population. This approach of delivering nontoxic therapeutic agents selectively to the liver offers a variety of clinical applications in humans.

SummaryIn collaborative experiments in 199 laboratories, nine commercial thromboplastins, four thromboplastins held by the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBS & C), London and the British Comparative Thromboplastin were tested on fresh normal and coumarin plasmas, and on three series of freeze-dried plasmas. One of these was made from coumarin plasmas and the other two were prepared from normal plasmas; in each series, one plasma was normal and the other two represented different degrees of coumarin defect.Each thromboplastin was calibrated against NIBS&C rabbit brain 70/178, from the slope of the line joining the origin to the point of intersection of the mean ratios of coumarin/normal prothrombin times when the ratios obtained with the two thromboplastins on the same fresh plasmas were plotted against each other. From previous evidence, the slopes were calculated which would have been obtained against the NIBS&C “research standard” thromboplastin 67/40, and termed the “calibration constant” of each thromboplastin. Values obtained from the freeze-dried coumarin plasmas gave generally similar results to those from fresh plasmas for all thromboplastins, whereas values from the artificial plasmas agreed with those from fresh plasmas only when similar thromboplastins were being compared.Taking into account the slopes of the calibration lines and the variation between laboratories, precision in obtaining a patient’s prothrombin time was similar for all thromboplastins.

The drone brood contains a large number of substances with antioxidant activity. These substances require stabilization and strict adherence to storage conditions. Among these substances are unique decenoic acids, the content of which is an indicator of the quality of drone brood and products based on it. The ability of drone brood to reduce the manifestations of oxidative stress is shown. There are dietary supplements for food and drugs based on drone brood, which are used for a wide range of diseases. Together with drone brood, chitosan-containing products, propolis, royal jelly can be used. They enrich the composition with their own biologically active substances and affect the preservation of the biologically active substances of the drone brood. Promising are the products containing, in addition to the drone brood, a chitin-chitosan-melanin complex from bees, propolis, royal jelly. The chitin-chitosan-melanin complex in the amount of 5% in the composition of the adsorbent practically does not affect the preservation of decenic acids, while in the amount of 2% and 10% it somewhat worsens. The acid-soluble and water-soluble chitosan of marine crustaceans significantly worsens the preservation of decenoic acids in the product. Drone brood with royal jelly demonstrates a rather high content of decenoic acids. When propolis is introduced into the composition of the product, the content of decenoic acids increases according to the content of propolis.

Abstract The aim of the this study was to evaluate the effects of fresh, dried and freeze-dried Centaurea depressa M. Bieb. (Asteraceae) on the oxidant and antioxidant status of the model organism D. melanogaster Meigen (Diptera: Drosophilidae) experimentally. The study was carried out from 2016 to 2019, and plant leaf extracts (0-50 mg/l) were added to insect standard artificial diets. The total protein, protein carbonyl content and glutathione-S-transferase, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were quantified at the insect’s third larval stage. Our data showed that protein carbonyl content varied from 2.70 nmol/mg protein in the control group to 59.11 nmol/mg protein in the group fed with fresh leaf extract signifying induction of oxidative stress. All extracts increased the levels of all antioxidant enzymes and decreased the amounts of total protein. Meanwhile, the group fed with the freeze-dried extract showed no significant difference in the levels of total protein and protein carbonyl content except at the 50 mg/l concentration of the extract. Moreover, this group had superoxide dismutase and catalase activities 4 to 5 times higher than in the control group. In conclusion, induction of oxidative stress indicates that the fresh form of C. depressa leaves may have potential as a natural pesticide, whereas induction of endogenous antioxidant enzymes by the freeze-dried extract suggest its potential as an antioxidant.

Antioxidant Effects

The in vitro antioxidant effects of the most potent antioxidants of rosemary, namely carnosol, carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid (c: ca: ra) were assessed in fat-filled milk powders (FFMPs) under accelerated conditions (40 °C and relative humidity (RH) 23%) over 90 days. Lipid oxidation was assessed in FFMPs by measuring peroxide values (PVs), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and aroma volatiles using headspace (HS) solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antioxidant potency of c: ca: ra exhibited a concentration-related effect (308 ppm > 200 ppm > 77 ppm), with the highest concentration being the most effective at controlling the formation of TBARS and PVs. At a concentration of 308 ppm c: ca: ra were particularly effective (p < 0.05) in inhibiting all the evaluated oxidation indices (primary and secondary) compared to the control samples, but in some cases less effectively (p < 0.05) than butylated hydroxyanisole: butylated hydroxytoluene (BHA: BHT) (200 ppm).

Fresh ground beef patties with (1) no antioxidant (control), (2) 0.02% butylated hydroxyanisole/butylated hydroxytoluene (BHA/BHT), (3) 3% dried plum puree, or (4) 0.25% rosemary extract were aerobically packaged, irradiated at target doses of 0, 1.5, or 2.0 kGy (1.7 and 2.3 kGy actual doses), and stored at C. The samples were evaluated for lipid oxidation on 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of storage after irradiation. When compared to the control, all antioxidant treatments were effective in retarding () irradiation-induced lipid oxidation during storage as determined by 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) values. Rosemary extracts had the same antioxidant effect () as BHA/BHT in irradiated and nonirradiated beef patties, followed by the dried plum puree treatment. Irradiation increased TBARs values, but no differences were noted in oxidation between irradiation dose levels.

Melon Seed Oil

The physical value of oil depends upon its chemical composition, even today these values play a vital role while using different oil for industrial products and also, despite the vast nutritional and medicinal significance of egusi melon, there are little details on the shell life and stability of its oil over time. Therefore, the influence of time and temperature on melon seed oil was investigated at temperatures of 0oC and 30oC at different weeks to ascertain its physicochemical value and storage stability. For week zero, at 0oC and ambient temperature (30oC), the result revealed iodine value 124.09, Acid value 3.64 mgNaOH/g, Free Fatty Acid value 1.84 mgNaOH/g, Saponification 217.35 mgKOH/g, Peroxide value 1.25 mg/g oil, pH 5.89 and thiobarbituric acid value 0.1383 respectively. In the 5th week, at 30oC, the result revealed iodine value 91.1543, acid value 12.8921 mgNaOH/g, free fatty acid value 6.4988 mgNaOH/g, Saponification 346.42 mgKOH/g, Peroxide value 9.5mg/g oil, pH 3.2 and thiobarbituric acid value 0.413 respectively. Also at 0oC in the 5th week, the results were observed as follow: Iodine value 102.53, Acid value 7.96 mgNaOH/g, Free Fatty Acid value 4.01 mgNaOH/g, saponification 287.51 mgKOH/g, Peroxide value 6.1 mg/g oil, pH 5.05, and thiobarbituric acid value 0.2658 respectively. Refrigeration (0oC) of oil reduced the rate of most of the oxidative deterioration that produces rancidity. These values are within recommended range for edible oils. These results indicate that egusi melon oil could be a good source of table oil. The statistical results show that there was a significant difference between the melon seed oil stored at 0oC and 30oC (P < 0.001).

Abstract Introduction Human-hair derived keratin (KOS) protein has been selected in this investigation for its ability to bind antibiotic compounds and provide sustained release while withstanding harsh proteolytic environments such as inflamed, damaged tissue. The need to control local flora has been recognized as an imperative for wound healing, as recovery is significantly hampered by infection. This study investigates the synthesis of KOS-based particulate matter, developed using acid-precipitation, to load and release the water-soluble antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP). We hypothesize that ionically bound CIP release is tied to the degradation of KOS, therefore, bacterial metabolism, which produces proteolytic enzymes, will trigger CIP release thereby creating a novel self-extinguishing delivery system for contaminated skin wounds. Methods Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride was solubilized in deionized water (pH 5.3) under constant stirring. Freeze-dried KOS powder was added for an ultimately 5% w/v and 0.8% w/v solution of KOS and CIP, respectively. To improve the stability of KOS a water-soluble diglycidyl ether crosslinker was added to solutions and stirred for 24 hours. CIP-loaded protein was precipitated out by a hydrochloric acid induced pH reduction. Samples were collected and frozen at -20 °C prior to lyophilization, thus forming the stable product. Degradation of KOS and commensurate release of CIP were measured using a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay and fluorescent measurements of hydrated material supernatant. The reduction of bacterial colonies was validated by a broth inhibition assay whereby CIP-loaded KOS or unloaded KOS controls where hydrated in bacterial-laden broth cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Cultures were sampled at 24, 48, or 72 hours and plated to quantify colony-forming units. Results The presence of CIP in the KOS protein was confirmed and release rates follow similar patterns to that of KOS degradation. CIP-loaded proteins significantly reduce bacterial colony presence in concentrated inoculant solutions up to 72 hours. Conclusions CIP release does appear to coincide with KOS degradation, which is bolstered in the presence of infectious levels of bacteria. Ongoing studies aim to observe more robust models of infection and more controlled antibiotic release.

This study investigated the evolution of trans-9 trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) from cis-9 trans-11 CLA during methylation and its avoidance through a rapid base methylation of milk fat. The study examined three conditions shown to result in loss of cis-9 trans-11 CLA during methylation namely: temperature, methylation time, water contamination in old reagents and acidic conditions. Three techniques currently used for the conversion of milk fat into fatty acid methyl esters for analysis of CLA content by gas liquid chromatography and a fourth procedure designed to eliminate acidic conditions and to limit methylation temperature and time were used. The four methods were: (i) acidic methylation (AM); (ii) acidic and basic bimethylation with fresh reagents (FBM); (iii) acidic and basic bimethylation with pre-prepared reagents (PBM) and (iv) basic methylation (BM). Each regime was carried out on six milk samples over two periods and methylated 1 ml freeze-dried milk (n=12 per regime). Total CLA was not different across methylation regimes (0·30 mg/ml). Isomer cis-9 trans-11 was higher (P<0·01) with BM than the other regimes and lowest with AM: 21·2, 17·8, 18·8 and 14·7 mg/100 ml for BM, FBM, PBM and AM, respectively. The inverse relationship was shown for trans-9 trans-11 with higher (P<0·001) amounts with AM than the other regimes and lowest with BM: 0·57, 2·55, 2·36 and 3·69 mg/100 ml for BM, FBM, PBM and AM, respectively. The trans-10 cis-12 isomer was also shown to alter with methylation procedure being higher (P<0·001) with AM than the other regimes: 0·43, 0·47, 0·29 and 1·20 mg/100 ml for BM, FBM, PBM and AM, respectively. Validation with known CLA free fatty acid and triacylglycerol standards confirmed that AM resulted in conversion of cis-9 trans-11 to trans-9 trans-11, and also elevated trans-10 cis-12 whilst BM of triacylglycerol CLA did not isomerise cis-9 trans-11 and was comparable to FBM.
