The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing worldwide. Common comorbidities related to obesity, significantly polygenic disorders, cardiovascular disease, heart conditions affect social monetary systems. Over the past decade, research in drug discovery development has opened new paths for alternative conventional medicine. With a deeper comprehension its underlying mechanisms, now recognized more as chronic condition rather than merely result lifestyle choices. Nonetheless, addressing it solely through changes challenging due intricate nature energy regulation dysfunction. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved six medications management obesity. Seaweed are plants algae that grow oceans, rivers, lakes.

Preparation, Characterization, and Anti-Adhesive Activity of Sulfate Polysaccharide from Caulerpa lentillifera against Helicobacter pylori

Polymers, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 14(22), С. 4993 - 4993

Опубликована: Ноя. 18, 2022

In the gastric mucosa, chronic inflammation due to Helicobacter pylori infection promotes gastrocarcinogenesis. Polysaccharides of Caulerpa lentillifera are well-characterized by broad antimicrobial activity and anti-inflammatory potentials. The present study was undertaken investigate whether low molecular sulfate polysaccharides C. (CLCP) exhibit any anti-adhesive against H. pylori. After a hot water extraction purification process, two purified polysaccharide fractions (CLCP-1 CLCP2) were studied based on structural characterization bioactivity determination. results implied that except for molar ratio, CLCP-1 CLCP-2 contain high sulfate, mannose, galactose, xylose, glucose levels, protein levels. weight Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) assays confirmed with an average (Mw) 963.15 648.42 kDa, respectively. addition, exhibited stronger antibacterial could significantly promote macrophage proliferation decrease production nitric oxide (NO) through downregulated expression inducible synthase (iNOS). Meanwhile, in this showed efficiently protected adenocarcinoma (AGS) cells inhibition IL-8/NF-κB axis. These findings suggested effect adhesion, potential supply nutrients eradication therapy reduction cell count inflammation.

Feasibility of aquaculture cultivation of elkhorn sea moss (Kappaphycus alvarezii) in a horizontal long line in the Tropical Eastern Pacific

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(1)

Опубликована: Сен. 7, 2023

Seaweed aquaculture has become a profitable and an attractive alternative of cultivation thanks to its quick biomass production for food, feed, other non-food applications. In addition, the ecosystem services generated by seaweed towards carbon fixation represents more sustainable solution ocean's acidification. The growth elkhorn sea moss (Kappaphycus alvarezii) was evaluated in three plots with 200 propagules during period 70 days floating raft system covered fishing net underneath. Initial weight 159.3 ± 12.74 g wet 15.3 1.43 dry were sampled up 19 (in lag phase; I), 33 exponential II) stationarity III). variations surface water temperature, salinity, turbidity (Secchi depth), total ammonium, nitrites, nitrates, phosphate determined. increase evident phase II when 28.0 2.48 (1153.3 6.25 mass) reached, than 7 times average daily rate 15.2% g.day-1. carrying capacity zone estimated at 86.2% area where 53 units would be projected. economic analysis presented financial feasibility profit 19% over projected income IRR 16.5%, recovering investment 4.3 years.

Utilizing Seaweeds for Food Production and Applications: A Comprehensive Review of Kappaphycus Alvarezii

Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 33(7), С. 553 - 572

Опубликована: Июль 24, 2024

This review explores the versatility of K. alvarezii in various food applications, including bakery, meat, snacks, jams, and prebiotics. Abundant vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, bioactives, seaweed enhances texture, reduces fat, provides nutritional benefits. In meat products, acts as a gelling binding agent, improving moisture retention, allowing for salt fat reduction. Seaweed snacks offer both health benefits pleasant aroma, while alvarezii's prebiotics support gut by promoting beneficial bacteria. Additionally, serves natural stabilizing jam jelly textures, exhibits promise sustainable packaging through edible films.

Marine Biotechnology: A Frontier for the Discovery of Nutraceuticals, Energy, and Its Role in Meeting Twenty-First Century Food Demands

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2023

One of the most underutilized biological resources in world is marine environment, which makes up nearly three-quarters Earth's surface. A variety organisms with unique systems and features can be found environment. They have evolved special characteristics that allow them to survive a hostile environments. By applying wide screening tools, extracts purified compounds these studied for food processing, activities, bioenergy production. Biomolecules derived from range applications industry, including colorants, preservatives, flavor enhancers. Some useful marine-derived ingredients are pigments, polyunsaturated fatty acids, sterols, polysaccharides, proteins, enzymes. Among therapeutics, more than 60 % active pharmaceutical formulations come natural products or their derivatives, been reported possess activities (anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, etc.). Using produce biodiesel one hottest areas renewable energy.

A novel strain, isolate 5K15T, which belongs to difficult-to-cultivate phylum Verrucomicrobiota, was recovered from kelp collected Li Island, Rongcheng, China. The genome sequence of the strain (genome size 3.95 Mbp) showed presence four putative biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), namely, two terpene clusters, one aryl polyene cluster, and type III PKS cluster. Genomic analysis revealed 79 sulfatase-encoded genes, 24 sulfatase-like hydrolase/transferase-encoded 25 arylsulfatase-encoded indicated great potential 5K15T degrade sulfated polysaccharides. Comparative 16S rRNA that most closely related Oceaniferula marina N1E253T (96.4%). On basis evidence a polyphasic study, it is proposed (= KCTC 82748T = MCCC 1H00442T SDUM 810003T) be classified as flavus sp. nov. has ability carbohydrate transport metabolism.
