TL;DR: The potential beneficial effects of probiotics in preventing and treating certain diseases as well as current and future perspectives of probiotic research are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared phenolic profiles, carotenoids profiles and antioxidant activities of raw and cooked sweet potatoes of five varieties (white, yellow, orange, light purple and deep purple).

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of differently dried pomace on cell wall properties and phenolic profile was made to comprehend influence of different drying techniques to remove moisture content from fresh apple pOMace.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a new perspective on oolong tea and its characteristic phytochemicals, theasinensins associated with health benefits, molecular action pathway, and chemical mechanism ofasinensin formation from scientific evidences available on the literature.

TL;DR: The present study shows that C. hystrix and C. maxima leaf extracts possess hepatoprotective action against paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity.

TL;DR: There is at present no solid evidence indicating that seaweeds are effective in long-term weight management, however, available findings suggest potential benefits of seaweed components on obesity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possible mechanisms for the use of phenolic extracts from grapefruit peels in the management/prevention of cardiovascular complications and found that the phenolic contents of the extracts were investigated using HPLC-DAD.

TL;DR: This review emphasizes the most common traditional Vietnamese fermented foods and their beneficial indigenous bacteria having health-promoting effects.

TL;DR: The results show that LAMP is a rapid, sensitive and specific method for Salmonella detection and can be used for the rapid detection ofSalmonella in food.

TL;DR: Double-headed protease inhibitor was isolated, purified and characterized including its kinetics from the fruits of Solanum aculeatissimum Jacq, revealing the presence of lysine and tryptophan residue(s).

TL;DR: In this article, Antimicrobial properties of isolated compounds such as Decussatin, Gentiacaulein and Swertianin were investigated using an in vitro model, which revealed that the compound 6 possessed an efficient 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) (IC 50 07.19 ± 4.5 µm) concentration with an IC 50 value of 12.57, 18.21± 0.25 µm and 21.75μg/mL respectively.

TL;DR: Findings intimate that Carvacrol might be beneficial in attenuating toxin induced liver damage in male Wistar albino rats.

TL;DR: The results were found to be promising as there was a significant increase in hemoglobin, TIBC, MCH, MCV, serum iron and serum ferritin levels in the selected subjects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the reducing, lipid peroxidation inhibition, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil radical (DPPH) scavenging, superoxide anion radical (O 2 − ) scavenging and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and HO scavenging activities of methanolic extract of Murraya paniculata (MPE) by UV-vis spectrophotometer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the inhibitory effect of methanol extracts of Brachystegia eurycoma and Detarium microcarpum seeds flours on some key enzymes [α-amylase, α-glucosidase and aldose reductase (AR)] linked to the pathology and complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D); and their antioxidant properties were evaluated.

TL;DR: The effects of ethylacetate extract of red onion ( Allium cepa ) tunic (ACTE) on some hemodynamic and biochemical parameters were evaluated in normotensive albino rats, with significant results for blood pressure and hemodynamic parameters.
