The study found that controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of sugar beet arabinans can lead to the production of LAOS that interact with immune system cells, with the degree of polymerization (DP) influencing their biological effects. LAOS with higher DP mainly induce stimulatory effects through the TLR4/MyD88 pathway, while LAOS with lower DP have opposite effects and inhibit TLR4-mediated effects induced by both lipopolysaccharide and LAOS with higher DP.
Linear arabino-oligosaccharides (LAOS) produced from controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of arabinans from sugar beet are well-known because of their chain-length dependent prebiotic effects. However, it is not clear if these alpha-(1,5)-linked arabinose oligosaccharides can interact directly with immune system cells, as well as if its degree of polymerization (DP) influences possible biological effects. Four high purity LAOS with distinct DP were tested in macrophage-like cells exposed or not to LPS. Results shown that LAOS interact with Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 in a chain length-dependent manner. LAOS with higher DP induce stimulatory effects mainly through the TLR4/ MyD88 pathway, thereby enhancing the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL-) 1 beta, 6, 12, and chemokines including MCP-1, RANTES, IL-8, and IP-10. Notably, LAOS with lower DP appears to have an opposite effect to those counterparts with higher DP, as they does not induce the secretion of cytokines and chemokines in macrophages-like cells, while also inhibit TLR4-mediated effects induced by both lipopolysaccharide and LAOS with higher DP. These findings provide not only insights into potential biological effects of LAOS, but also reveal that controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of sugar beet arabinans may lead to dietary oligosaccharides with desired biological properties.

Summary: While the farm to fork strategy falls short in improving crop nutraceutical quality, our study shows that supplementary UV radiation exposure during growth of broccoli and Chinese cabbage can enhance AhR activation in human intestinal cells, leading to increased nutraceutical quality of Brassicaceae. By combining metabolomics analysis with AhR cell assay, we found that UVB-exposed Chinese cabbage resulted in 23% enhanced AhR activation compared to plants grown without supplementary UV. This research provides new insights into the effects of cruciferous vegetables on human intestinal health.

Summary: This study investigated the use of ice glazing containing D-sodium erythorbate (DSE) and vacuum packaging to maintain the quality of large yellow croaker during frozen storage. The results showed that vacuum packaging effectively inhibited ice crystal growth and minimized water loss, while the combination of vacuum packaging and 0.3% DSE-infused ice glazing maintained freshness indicators at low levels throughout the 300-day storage period. This combination was considered the most effective in preserving the quality of the fish.
