The present study focused on the use of trehalose (TRE), whey protein concentrate (WPC), pullulan (PUL), and calcium lactate gluconate (CAL) as a protectant in the formulation of synbiotic buttermilk powder by application of spray drying. The spray drying of the solution mixture was carried out at an inlet temperature of 150 °C, a feed flow rate of 15mL/min, and compressed air at 3 kg/cm2 while keeping the outlet temperature constant at 70 ± 5 °C. TRE4 + CAL0.5 showed good results with the viability of Bifidobacterium bifidum as 6.04 ± 0.13 after 16 weeks followed by TRE2 + CAL0.5, TRE4, CAL0.5, WPC6, PUL4, and Control. The addition of protectants and Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) as a prebiotic did not affect the powder properties. The moisture content, water activity, bulk density, hygroscopicity, solubility, particle size, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of SBMP were better than the control sample for 17 weeks. SEM results showed spherical shapes without any cracks for SBMP containing TRE4 + CAL0.5. The present work demonstrated that the formulation containing TRE4 + CAL0.5 showed excellent results in terms of the viability of probiotic cells and also physicochemical properties of powder during storage for 16 weeks at 4 ± 1 °C.

The improper use of antibiotics in animal production in Africa may result in antibiotic residues (AR's) in food, and it represents a risk to public health. However, there is scarce information on the rate of AR's in dairy products. This systematic review was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The information was collected from databases Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, PAMJ One Health, ResearchGate, and selected African journals. A total of 359 articles were identified and only 22 studies were included. In total, 6246 dairy samples were analyzed, with raw milk as the main sample (90.7 %). Among the 39 antibiotics recorded, the most detected were penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, and chlortetracycline. The highest residue rates (90.38 %) were found for dicloxacillin, cefazolin, cefoperazone, cefaclor, and spiramycin. The most used techniques for antibiotic detection were Delvotest, high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to ultra-violet, and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry in tandem. AR's are high in raw milk and above the Maximum Residues Level representing a big challenge for Africa. Establishing AR's control plans in Africa could be a good strategy to improve the monitoring of their occurrence in food.
非洲动物生产中抗生素的不当使用可能导致食品中的抗生素残留（AR's），对公众健康构成风险。然而，有关乳制品中抗生素残留率的信息却很少。本系统综述是根据《系统综述和元分析首选报告项目》（PRISMA）指南进行的。相关信息收集自 Web of Science、Science Direct、PubMed、Google Scholar、PAMJ One Health、ResearchGate 等数据库以及部分非洲期刊。共发现了 359 篇文章，仅有 22 项研究被纳入其中。总共分析了 6246 份乳制品样本，其中生乳是主要样本（90.7%）。在记录的 39 种抗生素中，检测到最多的是青霉素、氨苄西林、阿莫西林、土霉素、四环素和金霉素。双氯西林、头孢唑啉、头孢哌酮、头孢克洛和螺旋霉素的残留率最高（90.38%）。最常用的抗生素检测技术是 Delvotest、高效液相色谱-紫外检测法和液相色谱-串联质谱法。原料奶中的 AR 含量很高，超过了最大残留量标准，这对非洲来说是一个巨大的挑战。在非洲制定 AR 的控制计划可能是改善食品中 AR 出现情况监测的良好策略。

The recent increase in the population coupled with food insecurity has necessitated the exploration of other sources of food and raw materials. We explored the physicochemical properties, phytochemicals, and fatty acid (FA) profile of Myrianthus arboreus seeds oil (MASO). The physicochemical properties of the MASO were assessed by established standard methods while phytochemicals, fatty acid profile and phytosterols characterizations were determined with gas chromatography coupled to mass spectroscopy. Free FA (18.62 ±1.19%), acid value (7.19 ±2.04 mgKOH/g), peroxide value (8.58 ±1.05 Meq/kg), saponification value (199.06 ±11.01 mgKOH/g), iodine value (96.43 ± 3.23 g/100g), and thiobarbituric acid value (4.20 ± 0.70 g/kg) were the physicochemical properties of MASO. The oil is affluent in iron (98.00 ±16.00 ppm), zinc (30.30 ± 0.05 ppm), calcium (44.67 ± 5.90 ppm) and vitamin B (16.20 ± 2.20 mg/100g). A total of 24 phytochemicals, with oleic acid ranking first, followed by linoleic acid, docosahexaenoic, and the least was arachidonic acid. Phytosterols in order of stigmasterol > β-sitosterol > campesterol and brassicasterol were recorded in MASO. Thus, the availability of these compounds in MASO shows that it could be a good source of edible oil and also used in pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.

The banana inflorescence, often disregarded as a by-product of banana cultivation, holds significant untapped potential as a sustainable source of nutrition and medicinal compounds. Its overlooked status contributes to food waste, posing challenges to both food security and economic sustainability worldwide. Recent research indicates that banana inflorescence contains a rich array of bioactive phytochemicals with proven health benefits, including the potential to combat prevalent non-communicable diseases such as coronary heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and high cholesterol levels. Moreover, it has a unique composition, including phenolic compounds, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, and essential microelements, makes it valuable for enhancing women's health during pregnancy and lactation. Despite these promising attributes, the utilization of banana inflorescence as a functional food and nutraceutical resource remains underexplored and currently, there is no comprehensive review paper to investigate this potential. This review aims to address this gap by systematically examining the diverse array of functional bioactive compounds present in different banana cultivars and varieties, their pharmacological activities, and their potential applications in the food industry. Furthermore, it highlights current efforts in harnessing the health-promoting properties of banana inflorescence and outlines future directions for research and development in functional food and nutraceutical formulations. By shedding light on the multifaceted benefits of banana inflorescence, this review seeks to catalyze greater attention and investment in leveraging this valuable resource for sustainable food production.

BARI lentils play an important role in Bangladesh for providing essential nutrients to combat micronutrient malnutrition. Hence, the objective of the study was to explore the nutritional, mineral, and bioactive compounds analysis of the selected varieties under different milling conditions. Results exhibited that a significant number of bioactive compounds such as ascorbic acid (15.29 mg/100 g), ß-carotene (142.16 mg/100 g), total carotenoid (67.49 mg/100 g), anthocyanin (1.35 mg/100 g), and total phenolic compounds (20.72 mg GAE/100 g) were plentiful in non-decorticated lentil. In contrast, the non-significant amount of ascorbic acid (4.52 mg/100 g), ß-carotene (64.65 mg/100 g), total carotenoid (11.65 mg/100 g), anthocyanin (0.65 mg/100 g), and total phenolic compounds (11.68 mg GAE/100 g) was found in decorticated lentils. Non-decorticated lentils possessed the highest amount of crude protein (29.63 %), crude fiber (14.12 %), Ca (3.55 %), Mg (1.11 %), Fe (219.00 ppm), and Zn (32.62 ppm). A non-significant difference was noted between cooked decorticated and non-decorticated lentils during organoleptic taste by the sensory evaluators. Apart from this, the most instructive findings are, to utilize non-decorticated lentils that will contribute to minimizing the broken loss (cracked loss) and milling cost of the farmers without any presence of ochratoxin and patulin.

Isotonic drinks are sports beverages that replenish minerals and rapidly absorbable carbohydrates. We proposed to surpass traditional formulations of isotonic drinks by integrating thermal water, which remains unexploited as a source of electrolytes in isotonic despite the high mineral content. The novel formula combined thermal water with apple juice and hibiscus extract (as sources of sugars and color, respectively, and bioactive compounds). Through comprehensive analysis of chemical, physicochemical, and microbiological properties over 45 days at 4°C and 25°C, the results unveiled an isotonic drink with satisfactory characteristics for this product category: pH of 3.72, 7.93 mg/100 mL of total sugars, and 148.30 mg/100 mL minerals, predominantly sodium (34.99 mg/100 mL) and potassium (73.20 mg/100 mL). It showed significant phenolic compounds, notably chlorogenic acid (2.75±0.10 mg/100 mL), and antioxidant activity (472.72 µmol Trolox eq/100 mL). It maintained a vibrant red hue derived from hibiscus anthocyanins (delphinidin 3-O-sambubioside and cyanidin 3-O-sambubioside, totaling 4.06±0.03 mg/100 mL), and demonstrated microbiological stability throughout the storage period in both temperatures studied. Therefore, by harnessing the potential of thermal water, this study paves the way for a novel approach to developing sports beverages and can serve as a model for countries rich in thermal springs.

Essential oils are natural compounds with great potential to be used as products with high antioxidant activity. The aim of this research was to determine the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of the Nufar variety basil essential oil from three municipalities in Tolima, Colombia. The essential oil extracted from the leaves of this basil variety using microwave-assisted extraction predominantly comprises linalool (37.9–41.1%), estragole (24.5–33.6%), and 1,8-cineole (5.2–7.6%). The quantities of these compounds are influenced by the plant's place of origin. Regarding antioxidant activity, the basil essential oil cultivated in the municipality of Honda shows higher antioxidant activity in the DPPH and ABTS·+ tests (29.89 ± 4.03 and 9.60 ± 1.74 mg/mL, respectively), compared to the values from the municipalities of Mariquita and Espinal. The Principal Component Analysis applied to the data generated biplots that explain 99.8% of the total variation. These indicate that the essential oils from basil grown in the municipality of Espinal are characterized by having a high IC50 (mg/mL) in the DPPH test. On the other hand, the essential oils of basil cultivated in the municipalities of Honda and Mariquita are distinguished by their high content of monoterpenes and total terpenes. The study concludes that the geographical location significantly impacts the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of basil plants.

The mainstay for malaria treatment is drug, but currently, the treatment is failing and making malaria infection worrisome. The alkaloid extract of the plant Phyllanthus amarus has been demonstrated to possess antimalarial activity. This present study evaluated the changes in semen quality, hormone profile and gonadal histomorphometric features in Berghei-induced mice treated with alkaloid extract of Phyllanthus amarus. Thirty-six BALB/c mice were divided into six groups (n=6 per group). The first two groups were positive (not infected, not treated) and negative (infected, but not treated) control mice, while the remaining groups (Groups 3–6) were the experimental mice infected with Plasmodium berghei (NK 65) malaria parasite and respectively treated with standard drug Lonart® DS (20 mg/kg) with 75 mg/kg, 150 mg/kg and 225 mg/kg of the Phyllanthus amarus alkaloid extract (PAAE) for 4 days. Then, 10 days later, the animals were euthanized and blood samples were collected for biochemical investigation. Testes tissues were harvested for histological assessment and semen samples were collected for analysis using standard procedures and documented methods. Data from our study revealed that Plasmodium berghei malaria-induced infection significantly (p<0.05) increased testicular hormones of testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels were significantly (p<0.05) reduced, semen quality were compromised and the microstructural architecture of the testes were distorted. However, treatments with the graded doses of PAAE protected the gonads, improved semen quality and restored the hormone levels in a dose-dependent manner and in pattern that compared favourably with the mice treated with standard drug of Lonart® DS. Alkaloids of Phyllanthus amarus are promising as antimalarial agent. Therefore, the active antimalarial alkaloid compounds of Phyllanthus amarus should be identified for further study.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the interaction between sodium bicarbonate stress (SBCS) (0, 10, 20, and 40 mM) and zinc nanocomplex (Zn NC) (0, 1, 2, and 4 mM) on the growth and bioactive compounds of Hyssopus officinalis L. plants at the growth stage. The application of Zn NC increased essential oil (EO) production and the biosynthesis of phenolic compounds (PCs) and flavonoids in the plant. The accumulation of these compounds amplified the plant's antioxidant capacity compared to control. Treatment with Zn NC increased these compounds significantly more than alkalinity. 2 mM and 4 mM Zn NCs increased average APX activity substantially by 37 % and 55 %, respectively. The oxidative damage and depletion of mineral nutrients in the leaves were caused by SBCS. However, Zn NC-treated plants significantly increased nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and iron concentrations in the bicarbonate-stressed plants. A 44 % increase in proline content with 20 mM SBCS and 4 mM Zn NCs compared to control was revealed. In alkaline soils, Zn NC can be a beneficial and environmentally acceptable zinc supply that increases plant growth and bioactive compound production. Totally, applying 2 and 4 mM Zn NC treatment can counteract the negative effects of SBCS on plant growth and nutrient uptake.
本研究旨在探讨碳酸氢钠胁迫（SBCS）（0、10、20 和 40 mM）与纳米锌络合物（Zn NC）（0、1、2 和 4 mM）在百日草（Hyssopus officinalis L.）生长阶段对其生长和生物活性化合物的相互作用。施用锌-NC 增加了植物精油（EO）的产量以及酚类化合物（PCs）和黄酮类化合物的生物合成。与对照组相比，这些化合物的积累增强了植物的抗氧化能力。与碱度相比，使用锌-NC 处理能显著增加这些化合物。2 mM 和 4 mM Zn NCs 可使 APX 平均活性分别大幅提高 37% 和 55%。SBCS 造成了叶片的氧化损伤和矿物质养分的消耗。然而，锌-NC 处理的植株明显增加了碳酸氢盐胁迫植株中氮、磷、钾、锌和铁的浓度。与对照组相比，20 mM SBCS 和 4 mM Zn NCs 的脯氨酸含量增加了 44%。在碱性土壤中，锌-NC 是一种有益的、环境可接受的锌供应，可提高植物的生长和生物活性化合物的产量。应用 2 mM 和 4 mM Zn NC 处理完全可以抵消 SBCS 对植物生长和养分吸收的负面影响。

This research aimed to identify an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and biocompatible carrier for drugs or nutraceuticals without modification. Saffron pollen (SP) was selected and evaluated for its potential use as a carrier for gallic acid (GA), chosen as a model nutraceutical. The SP/GA microcapsules were prepared, and their adsorption and release isotherms were evaluated. SEM images demonstrated the loading of GA into the surface cavities and interior of the SP. The absorption isotherm revealed a maximum encapsulation yield (EY) of 42.4 %. The release isotherm showed that only 30 % of the GA-loaded microcapsules were released in oil over 72 h. The results of the antioxidant activity test indicated that SP significantly enhanced the oxidative stability of sunflower oil compared to GA alone, as evidenced by the peroxide value (PV) after 45 days of storage at 30 °C. The loading of GA into SP did not positively affect its antioxidant activity in oil due to its very slow release pattern. Given its high potential as an oxidative stabilizer, high EY, controlled release pattern, and extensive historical use as food and medicine, SP is proposed as a novel carrier for a wide range of potential applications.
这项研究旨在为药物或营养保健品寻找一种环境友好型、经济高效且生物兼容的载体。研究人员选择并评估了藏红花花粉（SP）作为没食子酸（GA）载体的潜力。制备了 SP/GA 微胶囊，并对其吸附和释放等温线进行了评估。扫描电子显微镜图像显示，GA 被载入了 SP 的表面空腔和内部。吸附等温线显示最大封装率（EY）为 42.4%。释放等温线显示，72 小时内只有 30% 的 GA 微胶囊在油中释放出来。抗氧化活性测试结果表明，与单独使用 GA 相比，SP 能显著提高葵花籽油的氧化稳定性，这一点可以从 30 °C 下储存 45 天后的过氧化值（PV）中得到证明。由于 GA 的释放速度非常缓慢，在 SP 中添加 GA 并不会对其在油中的抗氧化活性产生积极影响。鉴于 SP 作为氧化稳定剂的巨大潜力、高 EY 值、可控释放模式以及作为食品和药物的广泛历史用途，建议将其作为一种新型载体，用于广泛的潜在应用领域。
