Scope Dietary-based strategies are regularly explored in controlled clinical trials to provide cost-effective therapies tackle obesity and its comorbidities. The article presents a complementary analysis based on multivariate multi-omics approach of caloric restriction intervention (CRD) with fiber supplementation unveil synergic effects body weight control, lipid metabolism, gut microbiota. Me...

Abstract: The role of Proniosomes in oral controlled drug delivery system is well accepted. Presently, an attempt was made to develop cephradine (CP) prolong its duration action with better efficacy. Overall, eighteen formulation trials were developed using variable quantities sorbitol (F0S-F8S) and maltodextrin (F0M-F8M) carriers along span60 cholesterol. Trials evaluated for powder flowabilit...

BACKGROUND In the environment as well as in the vertebrate intestine, Listeriae have access to complex carbohydrates like maltodextrins. Bacterial exploitation of such compounds requires specific uptake and utilization systems. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We could show that Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria species contain genes/gene products with high homology to the maltodextrin ...

Soy sauce powders were made by spray drying liquid soy sauce using maltodextrin as the drying aid. Maltodextrins of DE 5, DE 10 and DE 15 with concentrations of 20% and 40% (w/v) were incorporated into the soy sauce, respectively, as a carrier. The moisture adsorption isotherms of the powders with and without maltodextrins were studied. Tg of the powders were determined using a differential sca...

Mutations Asn20-->Cys/Ala27-->Cys (SS), Ala27-->Pro, Ser30-->Pro, Lys108-->Arg, Gly137-->Ala, Tyr312-->Trp and Ser436-->Pro in Aspergillus awamori glucoamylase, along with a mutation inserting a seven-residue loop between Tyr311 and Gly314 (311-314 Loop), were made to increase glucose yield from maltodextrin hydrolysis. No active Lys108-->Met glucoamylase was found in the supernatant after bein...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether supplementation of carbohydrate together with peptide glutamine would increase exercise tolerance in soccer players. METHODS Nine male soccer players (mean age: 18.4 +/- 1.1 years; body mass: 69.2 +/- 4.6 kg; height: 175.5 +/- 7.3 cm; and maximum oxygen consumption of 57.7 +/- 4.8 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) were evaluated. All of them underwent a cardiopulmonary e...

BACKGROUND There has been a dramatic escalation in sugar intake in the last few decades, most strikingly observed in the adolescent population. Sugar overconsumption has been associated with several adverse health consequences, including obesity and diabetes. Very little is known, however, about the impact of sugar overconsumption on mental health in general, and on reward-related behavioral di...

Affinity chromatography was used as a positive genetic selection technique for the isolation of cells exhibiting high levels of surface receptor expression. Starting from a large population of Escherichia coli with no maltodextrin receptor due to a deletion of malT, the positive regulator gene required for receptor synthesis, cells were chromatographically enriched that could bind to starch-Sep...

Anthocyanins extracted from the pulp of the fruit of juçara palm (Euterpe edulis Mart.) were microencapsulated with maltodextrin in order to stabilise them. Photoacoustic spectroscopy was used to investigate the photostability of the microencapsulated samples. Complementary differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy measurements were also performed. Lyophilised extract h...
