Enhancing the quality retention of fresh noodles remains challenging. In this study, we investigated the effect of dough mixing with plasma-activated water (PAW) of different activation times on the storage stability and quality characteristics of fresh noodles. It was found that the total plate count in the fresh noodles prepared by PAW (PAWN) showed no obvious inhibition during storage at 25 °C, but could be significantly reduced at 4 °C as compared with the control. The decrease in L* value and pH of the PAWN was significantly retarded during storage, indicating an enhanced storage stability. The stability time of dough mixed with PAW could be significantly improved. PAW treatment decreased the viscosity properties and setback value of starch, while enhancing the interaction of water and non-water components in fresh noodles. In addition, dynamic polymerization and depolymerization of proteins were detected in Size-Exclusion High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (SE-HPLC) profiles of PAWN. The hardness and adhesiveness of the cooked noodles decreased, while the springiness significantly increased. These results implied the potential of PAW in improving the storage stability and quality of fresh noodles.

Introduction. A number of studies have shown that various genetic and environmental factors can affect the biosynthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites. In particular, it is known that the local geoclimate, seasonal changes, external conditions such as light, temperature, moisture and soil fertility can affect the chemical composition and, as a result, the therapeutic properties of plants used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Empetrum nigrum L. is a rich source of various pharmacologically active secondary metabolites – chalcones, dihydrochalcones, bibenzyls, 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. In the scientific literature, there is no data on the variation in the chemical composition of E. nigrum depending on the growing area. The obtained data are necessary for a reasonable choice of the collecting location for the plant, with the aim of its further chemical and pharmacological research for the development of promising drug candidates.Aim. To carry out a comparative analysis of secondary metabolites composition in the aerial parts of Empetrum nigrum growing in different regions of the Russian Federation.Materials and methods. Samples collected in three different areas were used to compare HPLC profiles: sample 1 was collected next to SPCPU nursery garden of medicinal plants (Leningrad region, Vsevolozhsky district, Priozerskoe highway, 38 km) in July 2020, sample 2 was collected on the Kola Peninsula, around the Khibiny mountains in July 2020, sample 3 was collected on the Kamchatka Peninsula, next to Khalaktyrsky beach (Pacific Ocean coast) in July 2020. Extracts were analyzed by analytical high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a Prominence LC-20 device (Shimadzu, Japan) equipped with a diode array detector.Results and discussion. As a result of the research, for the first time, a significant variation in the qualitative chemical composition in the aerial parts of Empetrum nigrum growing in different regions of Russian Federation was established. Sample 3, collected on the Kamchatka Peninsula, in comparison with samples 1 and 2, contain the greatest variety of polar secondary metabolites belonging to the classes of flavonoids, tannins, and phenol carboxylic acids, while in the shoots collected in the Leningrad region, the major metabolites were weakly polar compounds belonging to the classes of chalcones, dihydrochalcones, bibenzyls, and 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes, and in sample 2, collected in the Khibiny mountains, the lowest qualitative content of secondary metabolites was found. This variation may be caused by various environmental factors (biotic and abiotic).Conclusion. For the first time, the comparison of HPLC profiles of aerial part samples of E. nigrum, collected in different regions of the Russia Federation has been carried out. As a result, significant variations in the secondary metabolites composition of the studied samples were established, depending on the regions and growing conditions of the plants. The data obtained can be used for a reasonable choice of the collection location for the plant, with the aim of its further chemical and pharmacological research for the development of promising drug candidates.

Development of effective biocontrol procedures using ash endophytes to combat an ash pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus would be an appropriate contribution to the ongoing effort to protect European ash stands against ash decline. In this study we investigated the biocontrol potential of two ash endophytes, Thielavia basicola and Minimidochium sp., against H. fraxineus using in vitro plant-fungus and fungus-fungus dual cultures approach in three biocontrol models. The tests aimed to determine whether the endophytes show antagonism toward Fraxinus excelsior and F. pennsylvanica, to assess the level of antagonism of the endophytes toward H. fraxineus and to identify potential secondary metabolites induced by the presence of H. fraxineus. The results that dual culture experiments modeled according to our design may be a very useful tool to precisely study biocontrol potential of fungi, i.e., without the impact of environmental factors. Such experiments also enable the selection of most resistant ash genotypes and rapid propagation, producing large numbers of pathogen-free seedlings. It should be noted, however, that both of the endophytes tested in the dual cultures strongly inhibited the growth of H. fraxineus. Their growth under the influence of callus/seedlings was also inhibited. Comparison of HPLC profiles showed that the presence of H. fraxineus in the post-culture medium induced the production of an unknown secondary metabolite in this species. Such results suggest that some of the plant–fungus combinations examined in this study may have potential to be developed as biocontrol methods, thus increasing the survivability of ash stands under natural conditions.

Mushrooms contain a variety of secondary metabolites, including various phenolic compounds, which have been shown to act as excellent antioxidants. In this study, the contents of total phenolic, flavonoids and tannins of mushrooms methanolic extracts were evaluated by colorimetric assays to ranges of 277.36±0.66 to 420.86±0.90 mg (GAE)/100g DW; 31.99±0.90 to 90.90±0.07mg (QE)/100g DW and 150.61±0.16 to 220.47±1.01mg (TAE)/100g DW respectively. HPLC-profiles of methanolic extracts indicated that the individual phenolic compounds found to the samples of the species of mushrooms that are Lentinus squarrosulus and Auricularia politrich revealed us that gallic acid, catechin, acid ρ-hydroxybenzoїc, acid ellagique and naringerin were presented to the level of the two species. With respect to organic acids, the results showed that citric acid and fumaric acid was the major organic acid in all the samples of both mushrooms species. The methanolic extracts of the two mushrooms exhibited the high DPPH radical scavenging activities ranging from 34.10±1.12 to 58.95±0.52%. These data indicated that these mushrooms could constitute a potential good source of natural antioxidant for the local population.

Eleven compounds, including nine known flavonoid glycosides (1–4, 6–8, and 10–11), one isoflavone glycoside (5), and a glansreginic acid (9), were isolated from the 80% ethanol extract of commercial Astragali Complanati Semen (ACS). All chemical structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR. Compounds 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 were isolated and identified from the title plant for the first time. Biological evaluation revealed that all the isolates showed promising anti-NO production, and 1, 2, 3, and 8 were more potent in antioxidant activity than vitamin E. The major peaks in the UPLC and HPLC profiles identified their chemical structures by comparing their retention time and UV spectra with those of the reference substances. Furthermore, nine of the eleven samples collected from North, Middle, and South regions of Taiwan possessed similar HPLC fingerprints and were identified as Astragali Complanati Semen, whereas the other two samples from southern Taiwan would be the adulterants due to the different fingerprinting patterns. In addition, an HPLC-UV method was employed to determine the content of target compound complanatuside (11) with good linear regression (R2 = 0.9998) for ACS in the Taiwanese market. Of the isolates, flavonol glycosides 1 and 3 were the major peaks in HPLC/UPLC, and showed more potent antioxidant and anti-NO production activities than that of 11, revealing that these compounds can be the available agents for the quality control of ACS.

Salty soy sauce subjected in this study is a variety of commercial soy products in Indonesia. Chromatographic profiles linked to taste dilution analysis of the soy sauce were analyzed by Sephadex G-15 gel filtration chromatography followed by RP-HPLC. The results showed that there were 4 umami fractions (Fractions I − IV) obtained by Sephadex G-15 separation. Chromatographic profiles at 254 nm could show the differentiation of the four fractions and then their RP-HPLC profiles were proven to be different from each other. Fraction III which contained 65% of the soy sauce dry matters, had the highest umami intensity with umami TD factor of 256, meanwhile, this fraction was tasted salty due to the salt contained in the soy sauce. Fraction III was dominated by the later peaks in the RP-HPLC chromatogram, which was more hydrophobic. The hydrophobic components were commonly tasted bitter, perhaps in the commercial salty soy sauce, the taste interaction between the umami and bitter components might have occurred.

ABSTRACTMicrobial co-cultures have been used in several biotechnological applications. Within these co-cultures, the micro-organisms tend to interact with each other and perform complex actions vis-à-vis a single organism. Investigating metabolic interactions in microbial co-cultures is crucial in designing microbial consortia tailored for specific applications. In this study, we present a pipeline integrating modelling and experimental approaches to understand metabolic interactions between organisms in a community. We define a new index named Metabolic Support Index (MSI), which quantifies the benefits derived by each organism in the presence of the other when grown as a co-culture. We computed MSI for several experimentally demonstrated co-culture systems and showed that MSI, as a metric, accurately identifies the organism that derives the maximum benefit. We also computed MSI for a commonly used yeast co-culture consisting of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia stipitis and observed that the latter derives higher benefit from the interaction. Further, we designed two-stage experiments to study mutual interactions and showed that P. stipitis indeed derives the maximum benefit from the interaction, as shown from our computational predictions. Also, using our previously developed computational tool MetQuest, we identified all the metabolic exchanges happening between these organisms by analysing the pathways spanning the two organisms. By analysing the HPLC profiles and studying the isotope labelling, we show that P. stipitis consumes the ethanol produced by S. cerevisiae when grown on glucose-rich medium under aerobic conditions, as also indicated by our in silico pathway analyses. Our approach represents an important step in understanding metabolic interactions in microbial communities through an integrating framework of modelling and experiments.

The present study aims to screen and quantify hydroalcoholic extract for phytochemical content and HPLC profiles for standardization. HPLC was carried out using a RP-C18 analytical column with a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile: methanol (50:50 v/v) and was isocratically eluted at a flow rate of 1 mL min-1. A small sample volume of 20 μL was used for each sample run, being injected into the HPLC system. The chromatogram was monitored with UV detection at a wavelength of 256 nm. Phytochemical screening of the extract showed the presence of flavonoids, amino acids, carbohydrates and protiens in hydroalcoholic extract. Quantification of total flavonoids showed that hydroalcoholic extract of Vernonia cinerea had flavonoid content 0.547 mg/100mg equivalent to quercetin. The data presented here could be used for the standardization of hydroalcoholic extract of Vernonia cinerea, either for future studies or in herbal drug formulations. Keywords: Vernonia cinerea, HPLC profiling, Phytochemical analysis, Hydroalcoholic extract.
