Study on the extraction, antioxidant and prebiotic activity of the polysaccharides from the fruits of Phyllanthus emblica L. by Haotian Huang, Haotian Huang, Xiaobo Zhou, Mengge Sun, Mengge Sun, Jiajie Chen, Jiajie Chen, Tao Tan, Dongsheng Yang

“…Additionally, the PEPs demonstrated resistance to hydrolysis by artificial saliva and gastric juice, suggesting their ability to reach the gastrointestinal tract intact. In prebiotic assays, PEP (UMSE-derived, PEP-U) stimulated the proliferation of Lactobacillus spp. more effectively than water-extracted PEP (PEP-W), correlating with increased lactic acid production and reduced pH in the culture medium.DiscussionThese results highlight the dual bioactivity of PEP as both an antioxidant and prebiotic, suggesting its potential as a functional food ingredient for promoting gut health and oxidative balance.…”

Theoretical Aspects of Soil Layer Turnover Within the Boundaries of Its Own Furrow by Ya. P. Lobachevsky, V. V. Sharov, N. V. Aldoshin, Yu. S. Tsench, A. S. Zolotarev

“…Changes in displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the i-th point of the hypothetical layer exhibit smooth dependencies described by trigonometric functions. However, at a rotation angle of ωt = π/2, an abrupt change occurs in the trajectories of displacement, velocity and acceleration graphs, indicating sharply variable loads acting on the soil layer at this point. …”
