Comparative effect of boiling, microwave and ultrasonication treatment on microstructure, nutritional and microbial quality of Tofu by Abiola Folakemi Olaniran, Faith Oluwatoyosi Agaja, Oluwatobi Victoria Obayomi, Seno Isidore Ebong, Adekunbi Adetola Malomo, Olubukola David Olaniran, Oluwakemi Christianah Erinle, Stephen Olugbemiga Owa

“…The findings of the study revealed that ultrasonicated tofu (18 × 102cfu/g) had the least microbial load after 42 days of storage compared to microwaved (28 × 103cfu/g) and boiled tofu (25 × 105cfu/g). The antioxidant activities and total flavonoid contents (TFC) of tofu samples ranged from 22.2 to 35.5 mg/mL with ultrasonicated tofu (UTU) showing the highest scavenging activity (at 47.40 % and 22.2 mg/mL). …”

Ginsenoside Rg1: A bioactive therapeutic agent for diverse liver diseases by Mingyu Wu, Ke Li, Jiabin Wu, Xianyi Ding, Xiaotong Ma, Wenhong Wang, Weihua Xiao

“…Given these information, this review aimed to summarise and discuss the metabolic mechanisms of G-Rg1 in the regulation of diverse liver diseases and the measures to improve its bioavailability. As a kind of monomer in Chinese medicine with multitarget pharmacological effects, G-Rg1 can provide significant therapeutic benefits in the alleviation of alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, viral hepatitis, etc., which mainly rely on the inhibition of apoptosis, strengthening endogenous anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms, activation of immune responses and regulation of efflux transport signals, to improve pathological changes in the liver caused by lipid deposition, inflammation, oxidative stress, accumulation of hepatotoxic product, etc. …”

Modulating the sulfurization procedure to decrease by-product formation for one-step catalytic synthesis of sulfur-containing chemicals by ZhiZhi Xu, Jian Fang, Min Luo, Dedong He, Dingkai Chen, Jichang Lu, Yongming Luo

“…Herein, we propose a facile and simple sulfurization procedure-dependent strategies to regulate the Mo-S(O) bond strength of K-MoS2 catalysts for highly selective CO-to-CH3SH catalysis. The activity tests, the characterization results and in situ DRIFTS technique demonstrate that a slower sulfurization heating rate and abundant-reduced sulfurization atmosphere facilitate the formation of K-intercalated 1 T-MoS2 phase, which possesses a weaker Mo-S(O) bond than that of CO bond in CO molecules. …”
