Citric acid treatment enhanced the anti-inflammatory activity of wheat germ extract.
n/a PMID: Nutrients. 2017 Jul 10 ;9(7). Epub 2017 Jul 10. PMID: 28698513 Abstract Title: Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Citric Acid-Treated Wheat Germ Extract in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Macrophages. Abstract: Until recently, fermentation was the only processing used to improve the functionality of wheat germ. The release of 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DMBQ) from hydroquinone glycosides during the fermentation process is …
Antimicrobial activities of 1,4-benzoquinones and wheat germ extract.
PMID: J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2010 Aug ;20(8):1204-9. PMID: 20798583 Abstract Title: Antimicrobial activities of 1,4-benzoquinones and wheat germ extract. Abstract: We evaluated the antibacterial activities of selected edible Korean plant seeds against the food-borne pathogens Staphylococcus aureus KCTC1927, Escherichia coli KCTC2593, Salmonella typhimurium KCTC2054, and Bacillus cereus KCTC1014. While screening for antibacterial agents, we discovered …
