Creatine improves the flesh quality of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) reared in freshwater

Xiaoli Cheng et al.

Summary: Creatine supplementation did not affect the growth performance or the content of guanidinoacetic acid in muscle and hepatopancreas, but significantly increased muscular creatine content. A specific level of creatine also significantly improved muscular hardness and chewiness by decreasing myofiber diameter and increasing myofiber density.

Identification of novel umami peptides from myosin via homology modeling and molecular docking

Zhipeng Yu et al.

Summary: This study used homology modeling and molecular docking to investigate the interactions between peptides and the umami receptor, revealing critical amino acid residues involved. Five novel peptides were synthesized with umami intensity stronger than monosodium glutamate, suggesting their potential in enhancing food flavor.

Isolation, characterization and molecular docking of novel umami and umami-enhancing peptides from Ruditapes philippinarum

Yue Zhang et al.

Summary: Fourteen novel umami peptides were isolated and identified from Ruditapes philippinarum, with KSAEN and QIEELEGK having higher sensory evaluations, and PAATIPE and HNESQN showing the best umami-enhancing taste in a 0.35% MSG solution. Molecular docking showed that certain amino acids may play important roles in the interaction of peptides with taste receptors, contributing to the umami taste of the shellfish.

Anti-ulcerogenic effect of methanolic extract of Elaeagnus conferta Roxb. seeds in Wistar rats

Mukta Gupta et al.

Summary: The methanolic extract of Elaeagnus conferta seeds showed anti-ulcerogenic effects by inhibiting inflammatory factors and increasing protective factors, which could scavenge free radicals and suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines. Animal studies demonstrated a reduction in ulcers and significant effects on gastric acidity.
