Improved viability of trehalose on Lactobacillus plantarum embedded with whey protein concentrate/pullulan in simulated gastrointestinal conditions and its application in acid juic... by Xiujuan Wang, Haiyue Sun, Jian Wu, Yu Wang, Zhiyi Ai, Xinzhu Wang, Bo Nan, Yong Cao, Xia Li, Jingsheng Liu, Yuhua Wang

“…The study indicated that 5% TRE significantly increased the viable counts of L. plantarum embedded in WPC/PUL hydrogel from (8.83 ± 0.03) to (9.14 ± 0.04) (lg (CFU/g)) in simulated gastric juice (SGJ) and from (9.13 ± 0.04) to (9.38 ± 0.04) (lg (CFU/g)) in simulated intestinal juice, respectively. The addition of TRE improved the glass transition temperature of WPC/PUL hydrogel and decreased the hardness and its solubility in SGJ, which may be responsible for the improved protection of WPC/PUL hydrogels on L. plantarum. …”

Rational application of fructose-1,6-diphosphate: From the perspective of pharmacokinetics by Li Ting-Ting, Xie Jian-Zhong, Wang Ling, Gao Yang-Yang, Jiang Xue-Hua

“…The results suggested that plasma FDP concentration was significantly increased after oral multiple doses of 180 mg kg-1 but not 90 mg kg-1 of FDP, and FDP was partly depleted during the absorption, which was supposed to be consumed by the intestinal epithelium cells. Thus, we conclude that a high dose of FDP should be orally administered in order to get an effective plasma level.…”
