α-Glucosidase Inhibitors from Cold-Pressed Black Sesame (Sesamum indicum) Meal: Characterization of New Furofuran Lignans, Kinetic Study, and In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion

Research highlight / By

Cold-pressed black sesame (Sesamum indicum) meal is obtained on an industrial scale after oil removal. Most furofuran lignans were identified using α-glucosidase assay-guided isolation. Five new compounds were investigated. In addition, evaluation of α-glucosidase inhibitory effects, kinetic studies, and gastrointestinal digestion were studied.

An easy-to-use platform for colorimetric determination of dextran: A potential application for the sugar industry

Research highlight / By

Dextran is one of the most undesirable compounds in the sugar production industry since it can cause several deleterious problems in the presence of dextran. This work develops a novel material platform for dextran determination for the first time by improving the traditional phenol-sulfuric acid assay to a ready-to-use material system. The detection procedure is …

A Novel PDMS-Based Digital Magnetofluidic Platform for Lab-on-a-Chip Applications

Research highlight / By

Superhydrophobic gold film embedded PDMS was employed as a novel platform for digital magnetofluidics. The device performance for lab-on-a-chip applications was investigated by demonstrating four types of reactions: (i) acid-based titration as a simple mixing reaction, (ii) colorimetric detection of phosphate based on the molybdenum blue method as a more complicated reaction, (iii) colorimetric detection …
