The effects of the addition of salt ions and molecular weights (Mw) of CH on Mesona chinensis polysaccharide (MCP)-chitosan (CH) hydrogel were investigated. Result indicated both low concentration of monovalent salt ions (Na+ and K+), divalent cations (Ca2+) and oxoanions (SO42-) could promote the gel properties of MCP-CH hydrogel. The Mw of CH has huge impact on the formation and properties of hydrogel. Combining the relationship between rheology and structural, monovalent salt ions such as Na+ and K+ affect gel formation and its properties by influencing electrostatic interaction and chain conformation. Both divalent cations (Ca2+) and oxoanions (SO42-) facilitated the formation of gel networks via electrostatic interaction, coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds. Moreover, Mw of CH influenced formation and texture of MCP-CH hydrogel via affecting the conformation of CH molecular chain. These findings will provide a few theoretical bases to understand the formation mechanism of MCP-CH hydrogel.

Alleviative effects of natural plant polysaccharides against DSS-induced ulcerative colitis via inhibiting inflammation and modulating gut microbiota

Hanyu Lu, Mingyue Shen, Yi Chen, Qiang Yu, Ting Chen, Jianhua Xie

Summary: This study explored the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of Cyclocarya paliurus polysaccharide (CP) and Chinese yam polysaccharide (CY) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mice colitis model. CP and CYP improved colitis symptoms, enhanced IL-10 production, inhibited cytokines (IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha), and reduced MPO activity. They also maintained intestinal integrity, reduced LBP and ET levels, and modulated gut microbiota composition and metabolism. These findings suggest that polysaccharides may alleviate colitis development and have implications for further research.

The addition of crosslinked corn bran arabinoxylans with different gelling characteristics was associated with the pasting, rheological, structural, and digestion properties of corn starch

Xiaowei Zhang, Yutao Zhang, Zhou Xu, Wenmeng Liu, Boyan Gao, Jianhua Xie, Tingting Chen, Enpeng Li, Baoguo Li, Cheng Li

Summary: This study investigated the effects of crosslinked corn bran arabinoxylan (CLAX) with different gelling characteristics on the properties of corn starch. It was found that CLAX increased the pasting viscosity and gel elasticity of corn starch, with high cross-linked arabinoxylan (H-CLAX) having the greatest effect. The addition of CLAX, especially H-CLAX, also significantly reduced the digestion rate and extent of corn starch, possibly due to increased viscosity and the formation of the amylose-polyphenol complex. This study provides new insights into the interaction between corn starch and CLAX and could contribute to the development of healthier foods with slower starch digestibility.

Effect of purple red rice bran anthocyanins on pasting, rheological and gelling properties of rice starch

Weidong Zhang, Gang Wang, Pingwei Wen, Yi Chen, Qiang Yu, Mingyue Shen, Jianhua Xie

Summary: This study investigated the effects of purple red rice bran (PRRBA) on the pasting, rheological property, chemical structure, microstructure, and water migration of rice starch. The results showed that PRRBA could decrease the peak viscosity, final viscosity, and activation energy of rice starch, while increasing its gel strength and hardness. The addition of PRRBA could improve the particle size distribution of rice starch, possibly due to the non-covalent bonds between PRRBA and rice starch. Furthermore, PRRBA improved the water-holding capacity of rice starch, as indicated by a decrease in the spin relaxation time.

Rapid identification and quantitation of pork and duck meat of binary and ternary adulteration in minced beef by 1H NMR combined with multivariate data fusion

Tuo Leng, Xiaoyi Hu, Yi Chen, Bei Gan, Jianhua Xie, Qiang Yu

Summary: Rapid identification and quantification of pork and duck meat adulterated in ground beef were successfully achieved using 1H NMR spectra combined with chemometrics. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that beef had higher levels of methionine and glutamine, which could serve as key markers for differentiating beef from pork and duck. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) effectively discriminated between binary and ternary adulterated beef with 100% accuracy. Leucine, isoleucine, methionine, and glutamine were identified as potential markers for beef adulteration. Validation with external samples demonstrated the accuracy of the partial least squares (PLS) model in predicting levels of binary and ternary adulteration in beef, with determination coefficients R2p of 0.9153 and 0.9348, respectively, and root mean square error (RMSEP) of 0.1112 and 0.0821, respectively. These findings provide valuable insights into beef adulteration and enhance our understanding of the relationship between metabolites and meat.

Mechanism of aroma enhancement methods in accelerating Congou black tea acidification subjected to room temperature storage

Zixuan Xie, De Zhang, Junyu Zhu, Qianqian Luo, Jun Liu, Jingtao Zhou, Xiaoyong Wang, Yuqiong Chen, Zhi Yu, Dejiang Ni

Summary: This study investigated the acidification of aroma-enhanced black tea during storage. Analysis of non-volatile substances and organic acids using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and HPLC revealed a decrease in soluble sugars and amino acids, while an increase in organic acids such as oxalic acid, malic acid, and quinic acid. In vitro experiments further demonstrated that the acidification is a result of the decomposition of sugars and amino acids by heating, as well as the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes. Additionally, the study showed that the taste composition of tea infusion is altered, with reduced amino acids, catechins, soluble sugars, and flavonoids. This research provides a theoretical basis for improving the quality of black tea.
