Conjugated linolenic acids (CLNs) are naturally occurring fatty acids that are believed to have anticancer properties. In this study, we examined various plant seeds from herbs to discover seed oils containing CLNs. The ultraviolet spectra of total lipids from these seeds were measured. An absorption maximum around 270 nm was observed in seed oils belonging to the Valerianaceae family (Centranthus ruber and Valeriana officinalis). When the fatty acid compositions of these seed oils were measured, CLNs were detected. By silica column chromatography, neutral lipids (NLs), glycolipids, and phospholipids were eluted from seed oils of C. ruber and V. officinalis. Then, fatty acid compositions of these fractions were measured. This revealed that most of the CLNs in these seed oils existed in the NL fraction. When the NL fractions of these seed oils were reacted with lipase, CLNs showed good sensitivity to lipase hydrolysis. This suggested that the CLNs in the seed oils of C. ruber and V. officinalis existed predominantly at the sn-1,3 position of triacylglycerol and less at the sn-2 position. These results suggested that the CLNs from the seed oils of C. ruber and V. officinalis could easily be taken up by cancer cells as free fatty acids and had good potential as antitumor substances.

Thraustochytrids, a group of marine protists, are continuously gaining attention due to their capability in producing lipids for various biotechnological applications towards foods, medicines, chemicals, and biofuels. Although various substrates, predominantly glucose, have been used as carbon source for this microalga, it is desirable to adopt cheaper and more diversified substrate to expand their application range. In this study, we aimed to examine the ability of acetate, which can be easily generated from various resources by acetogenic microorganisms, as a substrate of Aurantiochytrium limacinum SR21. As a result of flask-scale analysis, specific growth rates (µ) of the strain SR21 grown in 3% acetate- or glucose-based medium were 0.55 and 0.98 h–1, respectively. The maximum yield of total fatty acid in acetate medium was 4.8 g/L at 48 h while that in glucose medium was 6.8 g/L at 30 h, indicating that acetate has potential as substrate. Metabolome analysis was performed to comprehensively elucidate characteristic metabolic fluctuations caused by acetate assimilation and identify targets to improve the fatty acid productivity from acetate. It was found that the use of glyoxylate cycle, which bypasses release of energy molecules such as NADH and GTP, and the inhibition of utilization of compounds from TCA cycle for anabolic reactions, may cause the slow growth in acetate which has an effect also in lipid productivity. The activity of the pentose phosphate pathway was found to be weak in acetate cultivation, thus NADPH was mainly produced in malate-pyruvate cycle. Lastly, mevalonate pathway was found to be activated in acetate cultivation which additionally competes with acetyl-CoA as starting material of fatty acid synthesis.

Blueberry leaf is currently a popular dietary supplement. Effects of dietary blueberry leaf and its active components on body fat accumulation were examined. C57BL/6J mice were fed high-fat, high-sucrose diet with or without 3% blueberry leaf extract (BLEx) or 3% concentrated-polyphenolic BLEx (CP BLEx) for 8 weeks. Compared to mice fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet without blueberry leaf, BLEx and CP BLEx significantly reduced body weight and adipose tissue weight gain. Adipocytes were also smaller and and liver lipid accumulatioin was significantly inhibited in mice fed either BLEx or CP BLEx. These effects tended to be more pronounced in mice fed CP BLEx compared to in mice fed BLEx. Together, results suggest that blueberry leaf inhibits body fat accumulation typically observed in mice fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet, and that inhibition is attributable to polyphenolic components in leaf extracts.

Assessing dietary intake is critical for understanding the relationship between diet and health. Fatty acid blood biomarkers have been particularly useful in determining dietary intakes and assessing the risk of chronic disease. However, fatty acid analysis involves the removal of fatty acids from their complex lipid structures resulting in a loss of potentially useful biological information. “Lipidomics” involves the use of mass spectrometry to identify lipids in their native form. Lipidomic approaches present challenges as an alternative to fatty acid analysis. This includes different types of lipidomic approaches and a lack of consensus on the lipids reported in different studies. Distinguishing between macrolipidomic approaches to characterize highly abundant lipids and microlipidomic approaches examining low abundant bioactive lipids and the use of brutto, medio, genio, and infinio to describe the level of information of lipidomic data can provide clarity to the field. Using lipidomic measurements for understanding docosahexaenoic acid metabolism during pregnancy will also be examined.

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is useful for the analysis of biological samples such as serum. Free induction decays (FIDs) are NMR signals that follow a radio-frequency pulse applied at the resonance frequency. Short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is a basic method for time-frequency analyses. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether the STFT of FIDs enables the sensitive detection of changes and differences in serum properties. FIDs were obtained from serum collected from young, healthy, male volunteers ≤ 40 years of age and seniors ≥ 65 years of age. Temporal changes in the instantaneous amplitudes for the time-domain analysis, fast Fourier transform for frequency-domain analysis, and STFT were applied to the FIDs. The STFT-based spectrogram represented the complex frequency components that changed dynamically over time, indicating that the spectrogram enabled the visualization of the features of an FID. Furthermore, the results of a partial least-squares discriminant analysis demonstrated that the STFT was superior to the other two methods for discriminating between serum from younger and older subjects. In conclusion, the STFT of FIDs obtained from proton NMR measurements was useful for evaluating similarities and dissimilarities in the FIDs obtained from serum samples.

Alaska pollack protein (APP) was previously shown to reduce serum triacylglycerol and the atherogenic index and significantly increase gastrocnemius muscle mass in rats. To determine which myofibers are involved in this observed hypertrophy, we stained the gastrocnemius muscle with fast and slow fiber-specific antibodies and measured the muscle fiber diameter. We observed muscle hypertrophy in both the fast and slow fibers of APP-fed rats. Although muscle hypertrophy leads to drastic lipid changes, the amount of lipids did not differ significantly between casein-fed and APP-fed rats. To determine the lipid changes at the molecular species level and their localization, we performed matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging to visualize lipids in the gastrocnemius muscles. We determined that lipid molecules were significantly changed due to APP feeding. Thus, APP feeding changes muscle lipid metabolism, and these metabolic changes might be related to hypertrophy.

We have developed an artificial skin that mimics the morphological and mechanical properties of human skin. The artificial skin comprises a polyurethane block possessing a microscopically rough surface. We evaluated the tactile sensations when skin-care cream was applied to the artificial skin. Many subjects perceived smooth, moist, and soft feels during the application process. Cluster analysis showed that these characteristic tactile feels are similar to those when skin-care cream is applied to real human skin. Contact angle analysis showed that an oil droplet spread smoothly on the artificial skin surface, which occurred because there were many grooves several hundred micrometers in width on the skin surface. In addition, when the skin-care cream was applied, the change in frictional force during the dynamic friction process increased. These wetting and frictional properties are important factors controlling the similarity of artificial skin to real human skin.

During ancient times in China, bee pollen was used for skin whitening and beauty. Around 70% of substances in bee pollen are biologically active, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and fatty acids, phenolic compounds, vitamins and bioelements.This review describes the cosmeceutical properties of bee pollen and the mechanism of its active components action, its beneficial influence on human skin. As a natural bee product, bee pollen may effectively enhance protective mechanisms against skin aging, skin dryness, ultraviolet B radiation, oxidative damage, inflammatory and melanogenesis, which are involved in a wide range of negative effects on human skin, thus they have attracted attention for health and cosmetic applications.

We evaluated the friction properties of five cosmetic sponges on artificial skin using sinusoidal motion-friction evaluation system. No significant difference was observed in the pleasant score of the five sponges when these sponges were rubbed on the skin surface. The sponges were classified into three groups based on their tactile feel. Their characteristic tactile textures were moist-soft-slippery, moist-dry-rough, and moist feels. The slippery feel was found to depend on the thickness of the sponge’s cell wall, its surface tension, and the change in friction coefficient in the dynamic friction process. These findings are useful in the design of cosmetic sponges.

Lung surfactant, besides alveolar stability, also provides defence against pathogens by surfactant proteins (SP), SP-A and SP-D. The hydrophobic proteins SP-B and SP-C enhance surface activity. An unusual and paradoxical effect of bovine LS and synthetic model LS with SP-B/-C was bactericidal to Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Bacterial proliferation were investigated with bovine lung surfactant extract (BLES), dipalmitoylphosphatdylcholine, palmitooleylglycerol, in combination with SP-B/-C using standard microbiological colony forming unit (CFU) counts and structural imaging. BLES and other surfactant-SP-B/-C mixtures inhibit bacterial growth in the concentration range of 0 -7.5 mg/mL, at > 10 mg/mL paradoxical growth of both the bacterial species suggest antibiotic resistance. The lipid only LS have no effect on bacterial proliferation. Smaller peptide mimics of SP-B or SP-B1-25, were less efficient than SP-Cff. Ultra structural studies of the bacterial CFU using electron and atomic force microscopy suggest some membrane damage of S. aereus at inhibitory concentration of BLES, and some structural alteration of E. coli at dividing zones, suggesting utilization and incorporation of surfactant lipid species by both bacteria. The results depicted from in vitro studies are also in agreement with protein-protein interactions obtained from PatchDock, FireDock and ClasPro algorithm. The MD-simulation decipher a small range fluctuation of gyration radius of the LS proteins and their peptide mimics. The studies have alarming implications in using of high dosages (100 mg/mL/kg body weight) exogenous surfactant for treatment of respiratory distress syndrome, genetic knock-out abnormalities associated with these proteins, and the novel roles played by SP-B/C as bactericidal agents.

Volatile compounds and quality changes of bitter apricot (Armeniaca sibirica L.) kernel oil (AKO) with different roasting conditions were determined. Bitter apricot kernels were roasted at 120, 130, 140 and 150°C for 15 min. Unroasted bitter apricot kernel oil was used as the control. Quality indicators included color, acid value and peroxide value, fatty acids, total phenols and oxidative stability. Peroxide values of the tested oils were 0.46-0.82 meq/kg, acid values were 0.60-1.40 mg KOH/g, and total phenol contents were 54.1-71.5 μg GAE/g. Oleic acid was the major fatty acid, followed by linoleic, palmitic, stearic and palmitoleic acids. Roasting increased the oxidative stability of bitter AKO. Volatile compounds were tentatively identified and semi-quantified. Among the 53 volatiles identified, benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol were the major components. These two aroma compounds increased significantly during roasting and contributed sweet and almond flavors. Pyrazines were also prevalent and significantly increased with roasting. Sensory evaluation showed that roasted, nutty, sweet and oily aromas increased as roasting temperature increased.Practical applications: Bitter apricot kernels cannot be consumed directly, thus it is potentially beneficial to find uses for them, especially in China where bitter apricot processing is a significant industry. Roasted bitter AKO with a pleasant aroma could be prepared and might find use as an edible oil. The roasting process gave the bitter AKO a pleasant flavor. This study provided preliminary information on production parameters and potential quality control parameters.

We examined the effects of the dietary intake of medium- and long-chain triacylglycerol (MLCT) on hyperglycemia in diabetic ob/ob mice. Six-week-old male ob/ob mice were fed a diet containing longchain triacylglycerol (LCT) or MLCT for 3 wks. During the dietary treatment, we determined the plasma glucose and insulin concentrations in the fed state once a week. Whereas the body weights did not differ between the two groups, the total intra-abdominal fat mass was significantly higher in the MLCT group compared to the LCT group. The plasma glucose levels in the freely fed state gradually increased during the 3-wk dietary treatment in the LCT but not MLCT group, although the daily food intake did not differ between the two groups. In the fed state, the MLCT group’s plasma glucose was significantly lower and their insulin concentrations were significantly higher than those observed in the LCT group (p<0.01). Plasma glucose concentrations at the end of dietary treatment (3rd wk) were negatively correlated with plasma insulin concentrations (p<0.05) and tended to be inversely related to total intra-abdominal fat mass (p=0.08). These results suggest that the dietary intake of MLCT may delay the progression of hyperglycemia in ob/ob mice, possibly through the stimulation of glucose uptake in intra-abdominal fat tissue caused by enhanced insulin secretion.

<p>An offline solid-phase extraction (SPE) approach combined with a large-volume injection (LVI)-gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (LVI-GC-FID) is improved for routine analysis of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) in vegetable oils. The key procedure of the method consists in using offline SPE columns for MOSH purification. The SPE column packed with 1% Ag-activated silica gel was used to separate MOSH from triglycerides and olefins in variety of vegetable oils. The eluent of MOSH fraction was only 3 mL and the concentration step was quick with little evaporation loss. The limit of quantification (LOQ) of the method was 2.5 mg/kg and the linearity ranged from 2 to 300 mg/kg. The accuracy was assessed by measuring the recoveries from spiked oil samples and was higher than 90%. Twenty-seven commercial vegetable oils were analyzed, and different levels of MOSH contamination were detected with the highest being 259.4 mg/kg. The results suggested that it is necessary to routinely detect mineral oil contamination in vegetable oils for food safety.</p>

Aloe vela leaf gel extract (AGE) are widely used as cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients because of its versatile skin care properties. In order to enhance the bioavailability of AGE, liposomes encapsulating AGE were prepared and examined for their interfacial and biochemical properties. The liposomes prepared from a soybean lecithin (SLP-WHITE, 1.0 wt%) by the Bangham method gave relatively a good trapping efficiency up to the AGE concentration of 0.5 wt%. The stable liposomes were then prepared from 1.0 wt% of SLP-WHITE and different concentrations of AGE by the mechanochemical method using a homogenizer and microfluidizer. The liposomes obtained from 0.25 wt% of AGE were confirmed to be small unilamellar vesicles with a diameter of less than 200 nm, and remained well dispersed for at least two weeks. The obtained liposomes encapsulating AGE were further examined for the effects on proliferation and type I collagen synthesis in normal human neonatal skin fibroblasts, NB1RGB cells. Liposomal AGE clearly showed higher proliferation rate than that of AGE alone. In addition, compared to the control, liposomal AGE significantly increased the collagen synthesis by 23%, while AGE alone showed a small effect. Liposomal AGE was also assayed for the effect on proliferation in normal human epidermal keratinocytes, NHEK(F) cells. Interestingly, liposomal AGE fractions containing 4 and 20μg/mL of the extract considerably increased the proliferation rate by 77% and 101%, respectively. In contrast, AGE alone fractions containing 4 and 20μg/mL of the extract increased the rate by 41% and 60%, respectively. Accordingly, the bioavailability and skin care properties of AGE will be significantly enhanced by liposome encapsulation, and the present liposomal AGE should have a great potential as an effective skin care formulation.

The volatile compounds obtained from the different organs of Houttuynia cordata (Saururaceae) and Litsea cubeba (Lauraceae) were analyzed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), Headspace Solid Phase Micro Extraction-Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS), and GC/olfactometry (GC/O). The major component of all parts of H. cordata is assigned as 4-tridecanone. Each organ produces myrcene as the major monoterpenoid. The major monoterpene in the rhizomes and roots was β-pinene instead of myrcene. 1-Decanal which was responsible for the unpleasant odor of this plant, was the predominant polyketide in both leaves and stems. The presence of 1-decanal was very poor in flowers, stem collected in summer, rhizomes, and roots. GC/MS analyses were very simple in case of the crude extracts of flowers. The content of sesquiterpenoids was extremely poor. (8Z)-Heptadecene, geranial, and neral were detected as the major components in Litsea cubeba. Odor-contributing components by GC/O analysis of the ether extract of the fresh flowers of L. cubeba were neral and geranial which played an important role in sweet-lemon fragrance of the flowers. The role of a high content of (8Z)-heptadecene was still unknown but it might play a significant role in the dispersion of the volatile monoterpene hydrocarbons and aldehydes. The flower volatiles of the Japanese L. cubeba were chemically quite different from those of the Chinese same species.

In the present study, mechanical phenomena on fractal agar gel were analyzed to understand the interfacial properties of hydrophilic biosurfaces. The evaluation of adhesion strength between the fractal agar gel surfaces showed that the fractal structure inhibits the adhesion between the agar gel surfaces. In addition, when the disintegration behavior of an agar gel block was observed between fractal agar gel substrates, the rough structure prevented the sliding of an agar gel block. These findings are useful for understanding the biological significance of rough structure on the biological surfaces.
