Scavenging and anti-fatigue activity of fermented defatted soybean peptides

Many bioactive peptides possess specific biological properties that make these potential ingredients of health-promoting foods. Increasing attention is being focused on physiologically active peptides derived from soybean proteins. In this study, soybean peptides were produced by fermentation of defatted soybean meal with Bacillus subtilis SHZ and purified by ultrafiltration and gel chromatogram. Free radical scavenging property and the effect on anti-fatigue of the peptides were evaluated in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Swimming endurance tests of mice were carried out after 20 days of soybean peptides administration (0, 100, 200, 400 mg/kg BW/day for control, low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose group, respectively). And the blood lactate and hepatic glycogen of mice were determined. Results showed that the purified peptides exhibited significant (P < 0.01) scavenging potencies on superoxide (62%) and hydroxyl (96%) at a concentration of 10 mg/ml. The average swimming time of the low-, middle- and high-dose group was increased by 20.91, 45.45 and 70% compared with that of control group, respectively. And administration with soybean peptides could significantly accelerate the clearance of blood lactate after mice swimming (P < 0.01). The hepatic glycogen storage of middle and high dose groups were obviously increased (P < 0.05). It suggested that the soybean peptides produced by fermentation could significantly alleviate physical fatigue of the mice.     

Glyoxal Ozonation Process in Aqueous Solution

The process of ozonation of glyoxal in aqueous solution has been studied by following its chemical and kinetic evolution. Results show that the oxidative process leads to formation of carboxylic functions and carbon dioxide according to a constant selectivity ratio at varying conversion degree.. Comparison between the oxygen amounts of reaction products and the corresponding ozone consumptions reveals that molecular oxygen takes part in the reaction process. System behavior is explained on the basis of radical reaction mechanism.

Evaluation of reducing power and radical scavenging activities of water and ethanol extracts from sumac (Rhus coriaria L.)

The purpose of this study was to determine the reducing power, metal chelating, and radical scavenging capabilities of water and ethanol extracts of sumac (Rhus coriaria L.), comparatively. The water and ethanol extracts of sumac were evaluated for their radical scavenging activities by means of the DPPH and DMPD assays. Water extract of sumac (R. coriaria L.) scavenged radicals effectively with EC₅₀ values of 36.4 ??g/ml for DPPH free radical and 44.7 ??g/ml for DMPD cation radical. Similarly, the total reducing power of water extract was found higher than ethanol extract in both potassium ferricyanide reduction (FRAP) and cupric ions reduction capacity methods (CUPRAC). 2,2′-Bipyridine was used to determine the metal chelating activity and the result of water extract was found higher than ethanol extract. Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of both extracts were studied as well. The values of water extract were found to be higher than that of ethanol extract. The present study found that water extracts of sumac (R. coriaria L.) have effective antioxidant and radical scavenging activities as compared to ethanol extracts.     

New nitrogen-containing bromophenols from the marine red alga Rhodomela confervoides and their radical scavenging activity

In addition to nine known bromophenol derivatives, five new nitrogen-containing bromophenols were isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the marine red alga Rhodomela confervoides. By using spectroscopic methods, the structures of the new compounds were identified as 3-(2,3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (1), methyl 4-(2,3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzylamino)-4-oxobutanoate (2), 4-(2,3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzylamino)-4-oxobutanoic acid (3), 3-bromo-5-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzamide (4), and 2-(3-bromo-5-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (5). All of these bromophenols showed potent scavenging activity against DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radicals, with IC(50) values ranging from 5.22 to 23.60μM. These compounds also displayed moderate activity against ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonate) radicals, with Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity values (TEAC) ranging from 2.11 to 3.58mM. The results obtained in this study demonstrate that the bromophenols obtained from R. confervoides may have potential application in food and/or pharmaceutical fields as natural antioxidants.

Synthesis,characterization and side chains crystallization of comb-like poly(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-alkylstyrene)s

A series of comb like poly(p-n-alkylstyrene)s with linear alkyl groups, containing even numbers of carbon atoms from 12 up to 22 were synthesized by radical polymerization and characterized by FTIR, ¹H NMR, TGA, TVA DSC, and WAXS. All polymers were obtained in good yields and were soluble in organic solvents as chloroform, dichloromethane or tetrahydrofuran and insoluble in methanol; they are stable up to temperatures near 300 °C. On the other hand, the alkylic side chains of all series are able to crystallize in a paraffinic phase in which the melting temperature and enthalpy increase with the methylene number of the n-alkyl chain.     

Antioxidant property of polyhydroxylated naphthoquinone pigments from shells of purple sea urchin Anthocidaris crassispina

Sea urchin gonads are highly priced sushi foodstuff “Uni” in Japanese traditional food, but after removal of them the residual shells with spines are dumped as waste. However, sea urchin shells contain naphthoquinone pigments with several phenolic hydroxyl groups, which were expected to act as potent antioxidant substances by donating hydrogens. Our previous study has evaluated their antioxidant ability to depress lipid peroxidation. This study examined other antioxidant property of the pigments from purple sea urchin shells, which possess larger amount of pigments than those of red and green sea urchins. The pigments as well as known antioxidant, α-tocopherol, exhibited 1,1-diphenyl 2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability. Superoxide anion radical and hydrogen peroxide were also scavenged while hydroxyl radical, one of the most reactive oxygen species, was not significantly inhibited. However, because the pigments had significant activity to scavenge hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion radical that could be in vivo precursors of hydroxyl radical, sea urchin pigments would be able to depress the generation of its related active oxygen radical species. These results suggested that sea urchin shells, which are still regarded as food waste, would be a new bio-resource for obtaining natural antioxidant.
