Astaxanthin (AST) and pycnogenol (PYC) are natural bioactive compounds commonly used in pharmaceuticals and functional foods due to their highly antioxidant activity and potential health benefits. However, the widespread application of astaxanthin is hindered by its poor water solubility and highly unsaturated structure. In this study, nanoparticles co-delivering astaxanthin and pycnogenol (NAP) were fabricated to enhance the dispersibility, stability, and bioavailability of astaxanthin.

The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in food digestion, enhances the host's immune system, and against pathogens. Numerous studies have been conducted on the microbiota of insects in general and honeybees in particular. However, studies have primarily focused on adult honeybees, with fewer studies dedicated to larvae. Despite being within the hive, honeybee larvae still possess their distinct microbiota.

This study has adopted a systematic approach to identify the extent to which 20 kHz ultrasound affects the particle size and solubility of different protein solutions containing 4%, 7% and 10% whey proteins, caseins or a mixture at a range of energy densities (15-400 J/mL) and various pH (4.0-9.0). Milk proteins hold a prominent place in the food industry as they are used in many manufactured products for their functionality and most importantly nutritional benefits.

The major protein fraction in pearl millet is prolamin the alcohol soluble fraction called pennisetin. Researches on the factors affecting pennisetin extraction and on its functional properties are still very scant. In this paper, the effect of temperature, reducing agents (β-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol or sodium metabisulfite) and sodium hydroxide on pennisetin extraction was assessed.

Bacteria-based biotechnological processes are applied to minimize the content of CNG in food products. For the usability and identification of the added value of plant food resources, it is important to know the functions and importance of antinutritional components of metabolism with a consequent impact on nutrition and health. In the review we provided a comprehensive view of the importance and potential of CNG in plants with a focus on food resources, where the model object was presented by linseed.

The genus Litsea Lam. (Lauraceae) and Lepisanthes Blume (Sapindaceae) are wildly distributed in Vietnam, especially in the mountainous areas. The reports in the literatures indicated that these two genus contain many constituents with interesting structures and potential biological activities. In order to find interesting substances for development of new pharmaceutical ingredients or functional food products we would like to conduct the resarch thesis ‘‘Study on Chemical constituents and biological activities of Litsea glutinosa (Lour.)

Nowadays, it is well known, a number of enzymes derived from a variety of different plants and microorganisms has been reported to 3.000. Among these, many of them p lay an important role in many practical applications, especially, hydrolases, in the food-processing for producing functional food of high quality. Enzymes seem to have a promising future. There is a presentation of some enzymes have successful application in the food-processing.

Orexin A and B (also known as hypocretins), two recently discovered neuropeptides, play an important role in food intake, sleep/wake cycle and neuroendocrine functions. Orexins are endogenous ligands of two G-protein-coupled receptors, termed OX1 and OX2. This work presents the first short orexin A and B analogues, orexin A 23–33 and orexin B 18–28, with high affinity (119 ± 49 and 49 ± 23 nM) for OX1 receptors expressed on SK-N-MC cells and indicates the importance of the C-terminal part of the orexin peptides for this ligand–receptor interaction.
