Goji berry chromoplasts as water-dispersible carotenoid vehicles: characterization and stability assessment under different storage conditions

Chromoplasts are organelles found in plant cells that store carotenoids. Their naturally hydrophilic structure, which accommodates carotenoids, has garnered increasing interest in recent years. However, the structural characteristics of carotenoid-loaded chromoplasts are still no...

Kiwifruit Seed Polyphenols Ameliorate High‐Fat‐Induced Obese Mice via Inhibition of Inflammation and Regulation of Gut Microbiota Balance

ABSTRACT Kiwifruit seeds are a polyphenol‑rich by‑product of kiwifruit processing. This study evaluated the anti‑obesity effects of kiwifruit seed polyphenols (KSP) in C57BL/6 obese mice induced by high‐fat diet (HFD). The results demonstrated that KSP attenuated body weight gain...
