Listeria monocytogenes is a common Gram-positive foodborne pathogen that can cause serious public health issues. Plantaricin PNMGL2, produced by Lactobacillus plantarum , has shown significant inhibitory effects against this foodborne pathogen; however, its antimicrobial mechanism remains unclear. This study preliminarily investigated the antibacterial mechanism of PNMGL2 against Listeria monocytogenes , providing a theoretical basis for the development and application of PNMGL2 as a novel food preservative.

This study investigated the regulatory effects of pheophytin (a magnesium-free chlorophyll derivative) and its metabolite pheophorbide on the gut microbiota structure and metabolism in mice induced by a high-fat diet. Using an in vitro anaerobic fermentation model, purified pheophytin and pheophorbide were added to fecal microbiota from high-fat diet-fed mice. The impacts on microbial composition and metabolic outputs were systematically analyzed via 16S rRNA sequencing, targeted short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) quantification, and untargeted metabolomics.

Research in the realm of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has recently highlighted highland barley as a promising dietary intervention due to its low glycemic index and high fiber content.This study investigated the effects of highland barley juice and its lactic acid-fermented derivative on glucose and lipid metabolism, as well as their influence on gut microbiota in db/db mice.

As one of the essential amino acids,厶-valine plays an important role in physioloxy and biochemistro. Pyruvate io not only the precursor needed for 厶-valine biosynthesis, but also an impoSani intermediate metabolite. Therefore, the efficient accumulation of 厶-valine and cell growth are mutually affected. In order te keep balancc between cell

Food and Fermentation Industries (F&FI) keeps being a leading scientific journal in the field of foods in 2018. Regarding food related scientific journals, F&FI is one of five in CSCD-C, one of 21 in A Guide to the Core Chinese periodical, and one of 27 in Chinese Science and Technology Paper Citation Database (CSTPCD).
