Ameliorating effects of water bamboo shoot (Zizania latifolia) on acute alcoholism in a mice model and its chemical composition

Yuan Gao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the ameliorative effect of water bamboo shoot (WBS) on acute alcoholism mice and explored potential biological compounds. The results showed that extraction methods significantly affected the active substances contents and bioactivities of WBS. Further analysis revealed that alkali extract (NE) demonstrated the highest ameliorative effects on acute alcoholism mice. The potential bioactive activity compounds of NE were identified as butyl isobutyl phthalate vanillin and ferulic acid methyl ester. These findings indicate the potential of WBS in alleviating acute alcoholism.

Interaction between potato starch and Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide

Fang Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of interaction between Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide (TP) and potato starch (PS). The results showed that TP inhibited starch granule swelling, formed complexes with the starch, and altered the physicochemical properties of the starch. The composite gels exhibited increased rigidity and density, and TP interaction resulted in an increase in the short-range ordered structure of starch.
