Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on the Enhancement of Hypoglycemic and Antioxidant Activities of Compound Herbal Tea through Solid-State FermentationQing Liu, Xiaowen Que, Yueping Yang et al.This study utilized Aspergillus niger KY2295 for the Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) of a compound tea made from Cinnamomum cassia bark, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Morus abla L. leaf, and Crataegus oxyacantha L. to enhance its hypoglycemic effects. The fermentation process was optimized using single-factor experiments and a Central Composite Design (CCD), with α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities as evaluation indices. Following fermentation, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 20 May 2025 · 5,473 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Health Functions of Collagen Bioactive Peptides: A ReviewMengqian Chen, Yanan Li, Guangrong HuangCollagen is the most abundant protein in nature and widely exits in animals. However collagen usage is not good enough, which is a waste of natural resources and an environmental burden. Collagen peptides have some special characters and functions. These functions can decide their usage. Therefore producing, discovering and using new functional collagen peptides are promising way to deal with … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 25 Oct 2020 · 9,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Polysaccharide-Rich Fraction Derived from Oviductus ranae with Antioxidant and Immunomodulatory PotentialsXiaojin Yu, Xinyu Wang, Xinyu Liu et al.Oviductus ranae, an animal-based traditional Chinese medicinal material listed in Chinese Pharmacopeia is widely consumed as tonic, approximately twenty Oviductus ranae-related functional foods have been approved on the market by National Medical Products Administration in China. Proteins are well-defined bioconstituents in Oviductus ranae, little information is availabe on its polysaccharides. In present work, a Polysaccharide-Rich fraction (POR-3) was fractionated from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2020 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of the Polysaccharides from Mycelium and the Culture Medium of Pleurotus Eryngii Strain UN-1Qing Liu, Haodong Wu, Ying Wu et al.Pleurotus eryngii was one of the most precious and ordinary edible mushrooms, and its polysaccharides were the major active substances. In this study, P. eryngii strain UN-1 was cultured in a liquid medium at 25℃ under a shaking of 80 rpm for 7 days. Two crude polysaccharides named CPN and CPNM were obtained from the mycelium of P. eryngii UN-1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 19 Jul 2022 · 6,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Bioactivity of Fucoxanthin from Undaria pinnatifida in VitroYiting Li, Ye Liu, Yuepeng Wang et al.Fucoxanthin, a marine carotenoid, can be found in marine algae and some marine invertebrates, has remarkable biological properties for human health. It is known that fucoxanthin has anti-cancer activity on some human cancer cells such as human colon cancers, leukemia cells, prostate cancer cells, breast cancer cells. In this study, the fucoxanthin was extracted from Undaria pinnatifida, after purification by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 7 Jun 2016 · 7,866 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
