TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the efficiency of different carrier agents (maltodextrin, gum arabic, starch sodium octenyl succinate, whey protein concentrate, and egg albumin) on the powder recovery and physicochemical properties of persimmon powders produced by spray drying.

TL;DR: A simple method for preparing large quantities of A-type dimers from peanut skin and persimmon for further structure-activity relationship study showed that both A- type and B- type dimers showed high antioxidant potency in a dose-dependent manner.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of persimmon tannin on high-cholesterol diet fed rats were investigated, and the results indicated that HMWPT effectively reduced serum and hepatic triglyceride, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol while increased the serum and liver high density cholesterol.

TL;DR: Pectins displayed strong effects on the self-aggregation of persimmon tannins and improved the homogeneity of condensed tannin aggregates, expected to promote the application of the formed complexes as functional ingredients in food.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HMWPT reproduced the anti-hyperlipidemic effects of persimmon fruit, and was a pivotal constituent of persIMmon fruit accounting for prevention of liver steatosis and its progression to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) by activation of the AMPK and regulation of its downstream targets.
