Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHibiscus Flower Extract and Niacinamide Show Enhanced Whitening Effects in Mouse Melanoma Cells (B16F10)Jae Eun Choi, Tae Su Jang, Jung Min Park et al.Melanoma, a type of cancer that most often occurs on skin exposed to UV rays, is becoming increasingly common. Recent research has focused actively on using natural products. The goal of this study was to compare the melanin-inhibitory effects of Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) flower Extract (HE) and Niacinamide (NA), a functional ingredient with whitening effects, on melanoma cells. The … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2023 · 7,226 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDietary Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucans Reduce Clinical Signs of Canine AtopyA. C. Beynen, D. H.J. Saris, P. M. Paap et al.Problem statement: There was evidence that beta-1,3/1,6-glucans modulate inflammatory activity. In an open, non-controlled trial, purified beta-1,3/1,6-glucans were found to improve the clinical signs of dogs with undefined chronic skin disorders. Given the design of that study, further work was required on the efficacy of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans in the treatment of canine atopy. Approach: The influence of a purified preparation of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 9 Jan 2012 · 9,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImpact of Dietary Polydextrose on Clinical Signs of Canine OsteoarthritisA. C. Beynen, D. H.J. Saris, L. De Jong et al.Problem statement: Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory joint disease associated with loss of cartilage matrix. There is suggestive evidence that the intake of polydextrose fiber has anti-inflammatory activity. It was reasoned that polydextrose may have a positive influence on canine osteoarthritis. Approach: A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with privately owned dogs was carried out to assess the efficacy of STA-LITE® polydextrose in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 5 Oct 2011 · 9,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrasonic Microwave Assisted Extraction, Chemical Characterization and Antioxidant Activity of Polysaccharides from Fig LeavesBaikangzhe Zheng, Yang Miao, Yi Zhou et al.This study employed ultrasonic-microwave-assisted extraction (UMAE) to isolate water-soluble polysaccharides from fig (Ficus carica L.) leaves (FLPs). Polysaccharide yield was used as the primary index to evaluate extraction efficiency. The effects of material-liquid ratio, microwave power, extraction temperature, and extraction time on polysaccharide yield were systematically investigated through single-factor experiments, followed by response surface methodology optimization. Structural characterization and antioxidant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 3 Mar 2026 · 1,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPurification, Structural Characterization and Anti-Aging and Stress Activities of Cordyceps Mycelium Polysaccharides from Paecilomyces HepialiXiaokang Hu, Huixiu Ma, Guicai Chen et al.This study identified and characterized the bioactive polysaccharide components from Cordyceps mycelium powder (CMP) derived from Paecilomyces hepiali, evaluating their anti-aging and stress-protective activities. Initial screening using Drosophila melanogaster revealed that crude Cordyceps polysaccharides (CCP) exhibited comparable effects to CMP and Cordyceps aqueous extracts (CAE) on natural lifespan and UV stress resistance, suggesting CCP as the primary bioactive component. CCP … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,698 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 Usage of Biologically Active Raw Materials in Confectionery Products TechnologyAlfiya Chernenkova, Svetlana Leonova, Tamara Nikiforova et al.Increased man-caused impact, imbalance in diets lead to diseases, premature aging and life shortening. To overcome this imbalance, there is an active search for raw materials containing the physiologically functional ingredients necessary for human health or the raw materials containing biologically active substances, vitamins, mineral substances. To enrich traditional recipes with these components and to give functional purpose to products … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 7 Mar 2019 · 8,750 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosurfactants in the Halal Economy: Sustainable Solutions for Food, Pharma, and BeyondKanokphorn Sangkharak, Suppasil Maneerat, Aem Nuylert et al.Biosurfactants, microbial surface-active compounds, are gaining attention as sustainable, biocompatible alternatives to synthetic surfactants. Their properties, including emulsification, foaming, and antimicrobial activities, enable diverse applications in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. With increasing demand for halal-certified products, biosurfactants offer potential as halal ingredients, provided they are produced using compliant strains, substrates, and processing methods.
