Nonbovine milk and its products as sources of probiotics delivery: An overview of its viability,functionality and product quality characteristics

Shi Wang, Nenad Naumovski, Said Ajlouni, Mutamed Ayyash, more

International Journal of Dairy Technology > 76 > 3 > 482 - 511

Dairy products are the most predominant food carriers for probiotics, providing adequate therapeutic and functional benefits to the host when sufficient probiotics are maintained. Bovine milk currently dominates the global probiotic food market, but there is an increasing trend of applying nonbovine milk from other dairy animals as probiotic carrier food matrices as described in this review. Nonbovine...

Critical evaluation of the extrapolation of data relative to antioxidant function from the laboratory and their implications on food production and human health: a review

Claire D. Munialo, Nenad Naumovski, Domenico Sergi, David Stewart, more

International Journal of Food Science & Technology > 54 > 5 > 1448 - 1459

The use of the word ‘antioxidant’ has become widespread in food science, nutrition and consumer language, having become associated with potential health benefits linked to consuming sources of antioxidants in our food supply. However, there is significant doubt about direct antioxidant effects on human health. This may partly relate to methodology used for assessing functionality and activity (both...

The effect of different drying techniques on phytochemical content and in vitro antioxidant properties of Australian‐grown prickly pears (Opuntia ficus indica)

Caroline A. Gouws, Nathan M. D’Cunha, Ekavi N. Georgousopoulou, Duane D. Mellor, more

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation > 43 > 3 > n/a - n/a

Abstract Prickly Pear (Opuntia ficus indica) is commonly consumed but limited by short harvesting seasons and shelf life. Drying may resolve such issues. The effects of different methods were examined to investigate the phytochemicals in Australian prickly pear (PP). White, orange and purple fruits were dried using freeze‐drying, microwave, draft‐oven, and dehydrator‐drying (35°C, 55°C, and 75°C)...

The beneficial health effects of green tea amino acid l‐theanine in animal models: Promises and prospects for human trials

Jackson Williams, Domenico Sergi, Andrew J. McKune, Ekavi N. Georgousopoulou, more

Phytotherapy Research > 33 > 3 > 571 - 583

l‐Theanine (l‐THE) is a nonproteinogenic amino acid derived from green tea (Camellia sinensis), which exhibits strong antioxidant‐like properties and contributes to the favourable umami taste sensation. Several studies have reported that the consumption of this amino acid has many therapeutic effects, including improvements in brain and gastrointestinal function, cancer drug therapeutic efficacies,...

The effects of the Mediterranean diet on rheumatoid arthritis prevention and treatment: a systematic review of human prospective studies

Casuarina Forsyth, Matina Kouvari, Nathan M. D’Cunha, Ekavi N. Georgousopoulou, more

Rheumatology International > 2018 > 38 > 5 > 737-747

Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive autoimmune disease characterised by severely swollen and painful joints. To compliment pharmacotherapy, people living with rheumatoid arthritis often turn to dietary interventions such as the Mediterranean diet. The aim of the present systematic review is to discuss the effects of the Mediterranean diet on the management and prevention of rheumatoid arthritis...

Sugar and cocoa: sweet synergy or bitter antagonisms. Formulating cocoa and chocolate products for health: a narrative review

Duane D. Mellor, Daniel Amund, Ekavi Georgousopoulou, Nenad Naumovski

International Journal of Food Science & Technology > 53 > 1 > 33 - 42

The potential health effects of cocoa flavanols are well described. Ranging from reducing risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease at population levels, moderating disease risk factors including endothelial function and lipid metabolism in clinical trials and mechanistic studies in laboratory studies highlighting target tissues and pathways. However, translating these benefits...

Tocotrienols, health and ageing: A systematic review

Ekavi N. Georgousopoulou, Demosthenes B. Panagiotakos, Duane D. Mellor, Nenad Naumovski

Maturitas > 2017 > 95 > C > 55-60

A systematic review of studies was undertaken to evaluate the potential effect of intake of tocotrienols or circulating levels of tocotrienols on parameters associated with successful ageing, specifically in relation to cognitive function, osteoporosis and DNA damage.Following PRISMA guidelines a systematic review of epidemiological observational studies and clinical trials was undertaken. Inclusion...

Effect of cocoa in diabetes: the potential of the pancreas and liver as key target organs, more than an antioxidant effect?

Duane D. Mellor, Nenad Naumovski

International Journal of Food Science & Technology > 51 > 4 > 829 - 841

Increasingly, type 2 diabetes mellitus is being linked to metabolic abnormalities within the liver and pancreas, associated with fat deposition and oxidative stress. Cocoa and chocolate have been seen to improve oxidative stress and enhance insulin sensitivity. Recent in vitro and animal model studies have begun to investigate the potential of cocoa and cocoa extracts in modulating fatty liver and...

Head and flagella subcompartmental proteomic analysis of human spermatozoa

Mark A. Baker, Nenad Naumovski, Louise Hetherington, Anita Weinberg, more

PROTEOMICS > 13 > 1 > 61 - 74

Subcellular proteomics not only deepens our knowledge of what proteins are present within cells, but also opens our understanding as to where those proteins reside. Given the highly differentiated, cross‐linked state of spermatozoa, such studies have proven difficult to perform. In this study we have fractionated spermatozoa into two components, consisting of either the head or flagellar region. Following...

Hydrogen sulphide-related thiol metabolism and nutrigenetics in relation to hypertension in an elderly population

Mark Lucock, Zoë Yates, Charlotte Martin, Jeong-Hwa Choi, more

Genes & Nutrition > 2013 > 8 > 2 > 221-229

Hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) is a gaseous signalling molecule that regulates blood flow and pressure. It is synthesised from cysteine via cystathionine β-synthase and cystathionine γ-lyase. We examined whether thiol precursors of H₂S, transsulphuration pathway gene variants (CBS-844ins68 and CTH-G1364T) and key B-vitamin cofactors might be critical determinants of hypertension in an elderly Australian...

G80A reduced folate carrier SNP influences the absorption and cellular translocation of dietary folate and its association with blood pressure in an elderly population

Lisa Dufficy, Nenad Naumovski, Xiaowei Ng, Barbara Blades, more

Life Sciences > 2006 > 79 > 10 > 957-966

The functional consequences of the G80A RFC SNP on the expressed reduced folate carrier protein were evaluated by looking at the relationship between intake of folate, plasma folate and cellular stores of the vitamin. The effect on homocysteine was also examined. Homocysteine is a thiol that is known to be inversely associated with folate, and which is considered to be both thrombo- and athrogenic...
