Summary: This study aimed to investigate the content of kynurenine (KYN) in human breast milk and to explore the effects of intragastric KYN administration on the development of adult rats. The study found that KYN is present in human milk and its content gradually increases over time. Animal experiments showed that KYN supplementation can increase absorptive surface of rat intestine and affect the expression of receptors in intestinal tissue. Moreover, KYN administration from birth to weaning resulted in neurobehavioral changes in adult rats.

Summary: The study compares the buttermilk released from sheep milk and whey with the buttermilk from cow milk. The composition of buttermilk from sheep milk is more advantageous in terms of non-fat solids, protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Some functional properties of whey buttermilk are similar to those of sheep milk and cow milk buttermilk.

Summary: The study revealed that most mothers have limited knowledge about donor human milk and milk banks, and have not received sufficient counseling from medical providers. While participants had positive attitudes towards donor human milk, they tended to choose formula over donor human milk when making decisions. Additionally, if donor human milk was the only option, they preferred milk from a relative or friend over milk banks.

Summary: This study aimed to screen new LAB from Algerian cow's milk and evaluate their probiotic properties. The LAB isolates were identified using molecular identification and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry methods. In vitro tests showed high survival rate to gastrointestinal conditions and antimicrobial and antioxidant activities in the isolates. The results suggest that some strains from raw milk of local Algerian cows have promising probiotic properties for food preservation and storage by inhibiting microbial spoilage and oxidation.

Summary: The study showed that inoculating PDHM with mother's own milk could restore bacterial growth and personalize the human milk microbiome in PDHM. This personalized effect is beneficial due to the presence of maternal probiotic bacteria in the milk, making PDHM more similar to the mother's own milk.

Summary: This study introduced a new method that successfully removes HMOs and extracts and purifies N-glycans from pooled human milk for MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Additionally, the N-glycosylation and glycoproteins were compared between human and bovine milk, offering insights for adjusting the composition of infant formula in the food industry. The research also highlighted significant differences in N-glycan patterns and abundance of glycoproteins between human and bovine milk.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the hydration behavior of different rice types and their suitability for the production of plant-based milks. The effects of pasteurization and sterilization on the nutritional and physical characteristics of the products were examined. The results showed that black rice-based products had higher phenolic compounds content and antioxidant activity. The residues from rice processing were found to be suitable for enrichment in new food products.

Summary: In this study, the influence of breed and feeding system on the milk profile of betaines and carnitines and the milk's capacity to counteract inflammatory endothelial cell damage was assessed. The results showed that Modicana milk had higher biomolecule content and antioxidant activity compared to Holstein milk. The study suggests that breed has a greater impact on the health-promoting profile of dairy cattle milk than the feeding system.

Summary: This study examines the hormone content in different forms of infant feeding and finds that breast milk contains thyroid hormones, while infant formulas lack them. This raises the question of whether formula-fed infants should be supplemented with thyroid hormones.

Summary: The study determined the antioxidant properties of hydrolyzed oat proteins and peptides, showing their ability to inhibit lipase and alpha-amylase. Some of the peptides demonstrated potential in preventing diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. The peptides could be used in food formulations due to their antioxidant and potential anti-obesity properties.

Summary: This study investigated the antibacterial activity of extracts and compounds from Echinops gracilis. The results showed that the extract and compounds exhibited moderate to significant antibacterial activities, with compounds 1 and 14 showing the best activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhi, respectively. These findings support the traditional medicinal uses of E. gracilis.

Summary: Biogenic amines (BAs) are naturally occurring molecules in foods and biological systems. Their concentrations increase during food processing and storage due to microbial action. Excessive BAs indicate unsafe foods and pose risks of neurological toxicity, allergic reactions, and cardiovascular diseases. Various strategies, including elimination, inactivation, and inhibition of microbial growth, are used to control BAs in foods. Additionally, bioactive compounds, particularly polyphenols, can reduce BAs concentrations through antimicrobial activity and inhibition of enzymes involved in BA formation. However, more studies are needed to understand the mechanisms and bioavailability of these compounds.

Summary: The gut microbiota plays an important role in human health, and this review focuses on its link with hypertension. The analysis shows that food peptides can prevent gut dysbiosis and display antihypertensive effects by positively affecting the production of beneficial metabolites. However, there is a lack of human studies in this area.
