Bee Bread Ameliorates Vascular Inflammation and Impaired Vasorelaxation in Obesity-Induced Vascular Damage Rat Model: The Role of eNOS/NO/cGMP-Signaling Pathway

Obesity and hyperlipidemia are major risk factors for developing vascular diseases. Bee bread (BB) has been reported to exhibit some biological actions, including anti-obesity and anti-hyperlipidemic. This study aims to investigate whether bee bread can ameliorate vascular inflammation and impaired vasorelaxation activity through eNOS/NO/cGMP pathway in obese rats. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10/group), namely: control (normal group), obese rats (OB group), obese rats treated with bee bread (0.5 g/kg/day, OB/BB group) and obese rats treated with orlistat (10 mg/kg/day, OB/OR group). The latter three groups were given a high-fat diet (HFD) for 6 weeks to induced obesity before being administered with their respective treatments for another 6 weeks. After 12 weeks of the total experimental period, rats in the OB group demonstrated significantly higher Lee obesity index, lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein), aortic proinflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor-α, nuclear factor-κβ), aortic structural damage and impairment in vasorelaxation response to acetylcholine (ACh). Bee bread significantly ameliorated the obesity-induced vascular damage manifested by improvements in the lipid profile, aortic inflammatory markers, and the impaired vasorelaxation activity by significantly enhancing nitric oxide release, promoting endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) immunoexpression. These findings suggest that the administration of bee bread ameliorates the impaired vasorelaxation response to ACh by improving eNOS/NO/cGMP-signaling pathway in obese rats, suggesting its vascular therapeutic role.     

糙米干法和湿法微粉碎对面团及面包品质的影响

将糙米分别进行干法和湿法微粉碎,与谷朊粉以4:1比例混合,制备糙米面团和面包,研究干法和湿法微粉碎对糙米面团和面包品质的影响。结果表明,经干法和湿法微粉碎后糙米粉颗粒细度显著降低,湿法粉碎糙米粉破损淀粉含量较少。干法粉碎糙米粉面团结构致密,弹性和黏性升高,糙米面包比容降低,硬度和耐咀性增强,弹性降低。随着粉碎时间的延长,湿法粉碎糙米粉-谷朊粉面团的黏性和弹性先升高后降低,面团网络结构更加紧密,其面包的比容与黏性和弹性变化规律一致,面包耐咀性和硬度增加,弹性降低。干法粉碎15 min(微粉A),湿法粉碎40 min(微粉X)时,糙米面包的比容最大,硬度和弹性适中,面包的品质较好。     

功能性海带面包生产工艺的研究

该研究将海带进行处理后添加到面包中,通过对生产工艺进行研究,以期得到功能性的海带面包。以面包感官评价得分为考察指标,考察高压蒸煮温度、蒸煮时间、海带粒径3个因素对面包品质的影响,确定海带最佳预处理工艺条件为:高压蒸煮温度125℃、蒸煮时间20 min、海带粉碎粒度40目<φ<60目;采用正交试验分析法,确定海带面包的最佳生产配方为:食盐添加量为1.5%、海带粉添加量为8%、酵母添加量为2.0%、改良剂添加量为0.8%。此条件下,海带面包的体积膨松,组织气孔细密,口感柔软,具有海带清香味。     

低分子量瓜尔豆胶膳食纤维对面团流变学特性和馒头品质

研究低分子质量瓜尔豆胶膳食纤维(partially hydrolyzed guar gum,PHGG)对面团流变学和馒头品质影响。mixolab实验结果表明,PHGG对面筋蛋白有弱化作用;添加适量的PHGG能延长面团的形成时间和稳定时间;PHGG能一定程度的抑制淀粉回生。在PHGG添加量3%时,馒头比容达到最大,相比对照增大15.5%。随着PHGG添加量增加馒头硬度、弹性、内聚性和咀嚼性降低,而黏附性增加。感官评价实验结果表明,PHGG添加量为3%时,馒头的综合感官评价得分最高。PHGG添加量在2%以上时,可以显著延缓馒头老化。PHGG可以降低馒头体外消化时的升糖指数。综合实验结果,PHGG添加量为3%时,馒头的品质最好。     

米酒老面添加量对面团及馒头品质的影响

本文研究了米酒老面添加量(40%、50%、60%、70%和80%)对面团的pH、湿面筋含量、面筋指数及馒头的比容、硬度、白度、感官评分的影响。结果表明:随着米酒老面添加量的增加,面团pH呈现下降的趋势。米酒老面添加量为60%的面团中湿面筋含量显著低于其他四种添加量(P<0.05),馒头的比容、硬度、白度和感官评分显著高于其他四种添加量(P<0.05)。相关性分析表明,面团pH与馒头的感官评分呈极显著负相关(P<0.01);面团湿面筋含量与馒头比容呈显著负相关(P<0.05),与馒头硬度呈显著正相关(P<0.05),与馒头白度呈极显著负相关(P<0.01)。面团面筋指数与馒头比容呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),与馒头硬度呈极显著负相关(P<0.01),与馒头白度呈显著正相关(P<0.05)。米酒老面的添加会改变面团和馒头的品质,其最适添加量为60%。     

葵花籽油基油凝胶在面包及冰淇淋产品中的应用研究

以葵花籽油为基料油,食品级植物蜡(米糠蜡、蜂蜡、棕榈蜡)作为凝胶剂构建油凝胶,分别以黄油、起酥油、葵花籽油作对照烘焙面包,以黄油、淡奶油作对照制备冰淇淋,对比分析不同油脂制作的面包和冰淇淋的感官及物性。结果表明:与对照组面包相比,油凝胶面包在各项指标上均无太大劣势,同时,油凝胶面包烘焙损失率比用传统黄油和起酥油烘焙面包小,且饱和脂肪酸含量降低;在抗融化性能方面,蜂蜡油凝胶冰淇淋和棕榈蜡油凝胶冰淇淋的抗融化性能好于黄油冰淇淋,但油凝胶冰淇淋膨胀率较低,不利于冰淇淋形成疏松绵软结构,且有少许蜡感,还需进一步改进。
