    Abstract The present study is focused on the potential of one stage hydrothermal (HT) treatment using water as a solvent for the simultaneous extraction of pectin and phenols from sweet lime (Citrus Limetta) peels. The effect of temperature (100–120 °C); time (5–25 min) and liquid to solid ratio (LSR) (10–20) were investigated for optimizing the HT process using response surface methodology. The experiments were designed using the Box-Behnken method. The optimum conditions obtained for the highest yield of pectin (23.8%) and TPC (1.18%) were at 112.2 °C, 17.1 min and LSR 14.3. Deviations between predicted and experimental values were statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). The HT process yielded higher pectin and TPC with a significant reduction in extraction time as compared to the conventional extraction process (CSE) i.e., 22.4 and 0.46% of pectin and TPC in 1.5 and 20 h respectively. The HT extracts were characterized at the optimum processing conditions. The degree of esterification (%) and molecular weight (KDa) obtained for HT extract (71.2 ± 1.0 and 330.9) was close to that of commercial citrus pectin (76.6 ± 0.6 and 423.8). The major flavonoids identified (mg/g dw) in HT extract were kaempferol (0.84), rutin (0.82), quercetin (0.71), ferulic (0.46), caffeic (0.4) and gallic (0.31) acid and found to be higher than CSE. The higher antioxidant activity of HT extract was indicated by lower IC₅₀ (0.62 mg/mL), higher FRAP (37.3 μM/g dw) and ABTS (119.6 μM TE/g dw) values. These results demonstrate the suitability of HT as a one-step green extraction process for simultaneous recovery of pectin and phenols.

    Abstract Environmental costs associated with meat production have necessitated researchers and food manufacturers to explore alternative sources of high-quality protein, especially from plant origin. Proteins from peanuts and peanut-by products are high-quality, matching industrial standards and nutritional requirements. This review contributes to recent developments in the production of proteins from peanut and peanut meal. Conventional processing techniques such as hot-pressing kernels, use of solvents in oil removal, and employing harsh acids and alkalis denature the protein and damage its functional properties, limiting its use in food formulations. Controlled hydrolysis (degree of hydrolysis between 1 and 10%) using neutral and alkaline proteases can extract proteins and improve peanut proteins' functional properties, including solubility, emulsification, and foaming activity. Peanut proteins can potentially be incorporated into meat analogues, bread, soups, confectionery, frozen desserts, and cakes. Recently, pretreatment techniques (microwave, ultrasound, high pressure, and atmospheric cold plasma) have been explored to enhance protein extraction and improve protein functionalities. However, most of the literature on physicochemical pretreatment techniques has been limited to the lab scale and has not been analysed at the pilot scale. Peanut-derived peptides also exhibit antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, and anti-thrombotic properties. There exists a potential to incorporate these peptides into high-fat foods to retard oxidation. These peptides can also be consumed as dietary supplements for regulating blood pressure. Further research is required to analyse the sensory attributes and shelf lives of these novel products. In addition, animal models or clinical trials need to be conducted to validate these results on a larger scale.

    Abstract Background: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to experience poorer health outcomes than other population groups. While data specific to Indigenous Australians are scarce, a known social health literacy gradient exists linking low health literacy and poor health outcomes within many minority populations. Improving health literacy among Indigenous Australians is an important way to support self-determination and autonomy in both individuals and communities, by enhancing knowledge and improving health outcomes. This review aims to rigorously examine the effectiveness of health literacy interventions targeting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
    Methods: A systematic review across six databases (The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, SCOPUS, ProQuest Dissertation and Thesis and Web of Science) was performed for publications evaluating interventions to improve health literacy among Indigenous Australian adults using search terms identifying a range of related outcomes.
    Results: Of 824 articles retrieved, a total of five studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in this review. The included studies evaluated the implementation of workshops, structured exercise classes and the provision of discounted fruit and vegetables to improve nutrition, modify risk factors for chronic diseases, and improve oral health literacy. All interventions reported statistically significant improvement in at least one measured outcome. However, there was limited involvement of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members in the research process and participant retention rates were sub-optimal.
    Conclusion: There is limited evidence on interventions to improve health literacy in Indigenous Australian adults. Participation in interventions was often suboptimal and loss to follow-up was high. Future studies co-designed with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members are needed to improve health literacy in this population.

    Abstract Innate and adaptive immunity play a crucial role in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) pathogenesis. We performed next-generation sequencing using the Illumina TruSight One panel (4,811 human disease-associated genes, at least 20 × coverage) and selected 22 known immune genes (toll-like receptors (TLRs), C-type lectin, interleukin-4 receptor, and others). We included ABPA (n = 18), asthma without ABPA (n = 12), and healthy controls (n = 8). We analyzed 3011 SNPs from 22 genes and identified 145 SNPs (13 genes) that were present only in the disease groups and absent in controls. The SNP frequency overall was significantly higher in ABPA than in asthmatics (89/145 [61.4%] vs. 56/145 [38.6%], p = 0.0001). The SNP frequency in the TLR10 gene was also significantly higher in ABPA than in asthma (p = 0.017). Association analysis further revealed three genes having significant associations. Of these, NOS3 and HLA-DQB1 are associated with antimicrobial activity and adaptive immunity. More extensive studies are required to confirm our findings.

    Abstract In Australia, dental caries are observed in almost half of children starting school. Oral health promotion programs are being implemented in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings to promote oral health. This study examined children's perceptions of one such program, the Bright Smiles Bright Futures (BSBF) program in ECEC settings in New South Wales, Australia. Data were collected using focus group discussions from 15 children aged 3-5 years, transcribed verbatim, and analysed through inductive thematic analysis. Three themes were identified as follows: (i) oral health knowledge of children, (ii) oral hygiene practices routine and skills development, and (iii) evaluation of the oral health promotion kit and opportunities for improvement. Children's perspectives highlight the BSBF program's success in communicating key messages to promote oral health. The integration of family-centric approaches, acknowledgement of children's preferences, and the use of interactive tools collectively enhance the overall effectiveness of the oral health promotion program.
