Summary: Mango is one of the most economically important fruits in Thailand, possessing various biological activities. This study aimed to prepare a mangiferin-rich extract (MRE) from mango leaves and develop nanoparticles containing the MRE for cosmetic applications. The potential cosmeceutical mechanisms of the MRE were investigated, and it was found that the nanoparticles produced using an electrospraying technique helped with transdermal delivery for cosmetic purposes.

Summary: Simultaneous extraction of mangiferin and pectin from waste mango peels was achieved using microwave-assisted extraction technique with the addition of hydrotropes and methanol. Hydrotropes improved the yield of mangiferin and enabled the extraction of pectin, while reducing the need for acidic solutions. The use of sonication further reduced the extraction time and the extract exhibited good antioxidant activities.

Summary: Ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) is a green method for the recovery of phenolic compounds with antioxidant capacity from underutilized mango. Response surface methodology and HPLC-QTOF-MS/MS were used to optimize the extraction conditions and identify the phenolic composition. UAE improved the extraction efficiency of phenolic compounds and resulted in higher concentrations of certain compounds in different parts of the mango.

Summary: Lupeol (LP) and Mangiferin (MG) have potential health benefits, but their bioavailability can be affected when taken orally. Incorporating them into a hybrid matrix of ZnO and PLGA may improve their bioavailability. In this study, a treatment named TF15 showed the best results in terms of controlled release and encapsulation efficiency. It also exhibited topoisomerase II inhibition and showed no cytotoxicity on BEAS-2B cells but decreased viability of HepG2 cells.

Summary: This study evaluated the potential of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) for extracting polyphenolic compounds (PC) from mango by-products (peel and seed). The effects of different solvents (DES vs EtOH/MeOH) and extraction methods (ultrasound vs agitation) were investigated. β-alanine and choline chloride based DESs showed effective extraction of PC from both peel and seed, with some DESs increasing extraction up to three times for peel and up to five times for seeds. The extraction properties varied with the solvent, procedure, and material, and the strength of hydrogen bonds had a significant effect on the viscosity of DESs. The study demonstrated the remarkable capacity of DESs to extract PC from mango by-products and provided insights into the factors controlling extraction properties.

Summary: Response surface methodology was used to optimize the extraction conditions of Ginkgo biloba leaves polysaccharide (GBLP) assisted by ultrasound. The optimum conditions were determined as 30 mL/g liquid to material ratio, 340 W ultrasonic power, and 50 min extraction time, resulting in a GBLP yield of 5.37%. Two chemically modified polysaccharides, CM-GBLP and Ac-GBLP, were obtained from GBLP and their physicochemical properties and in vitro antioxidant activities were compared. The results showed improved solubility and antioxidant activity for the chemically modified polysaccharides, indicating the effectiveness of carboxymethylation and acetylation methods in enhancing polysaccharide properties.

Summary: This study developed a novel and green ASE technique combined with UPLC-MS/MS for comprehensive characterization of MG in mango fruit. The results showed that the highest yield and MG amount were obtained through ASE with H2O at 80 degrees C for the mesocarp fruit part. The intra-variation of MG was found to be mesocarp > endocarp > epicarp > seed. Statistical models revealed significant correlations between origin, solvent, temperature, and MG amount, while there was no significant correlation between origin and extract yield. This study provides valuable insights into the inter- and intra-variation of MG in different parts of mango fruit.

Summary: This study evaluated the metabolism of Ganoderma species grown in liquid medium with different polarities of vineyard pruning extracts. The results showed that native strains had a higher metabolic yield compared to the control strain. Among them, Ganoderma curtisii showed the best response to vineyard pruning extracts, with a shorter lag phase and a significant increase in growth rate. This technique has the potential to determine the concentration and effect time of elicitors that produce liquid cultures of Ganoderma species with higher metabolic activity.

Summary: The study examined the temperature effect on the interaction between fungal isolates in papaya. Four types of interaction were observed: mutual intermingling, mutual antagonism on contact, dominance on contact, and dominance at a distance. The dominance of certain fungi varied with temperature, with F. pernambucarum being more competitive at 13 and 35 degrees Celsius, and R. stolonifer being more competitive at 25 degrees Celsius. These findings have implications for improving postharvest management of papaya fruit.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of pepsin and pancreatin hydrolysis on jackfruit leaf protein concentrate in terms of amino acid composition, structure, thermal properties, and emulsion formation. The results showed that pancreatin had higher content of essential and hydrophobic amino acids and better emulsifying properties. The beta-sheet fraction increased with hydrolysis time for pepsin, while it decreased for pancreatin. The stabilized emulsions with pancreatin hydrolysates had homogeneous distributions and smaller particle sizes.
