Biocompatibility, Antimicrobial and Wound Healing Activities of Lavandula dentata Leaves Extract

Background: The human skin is a natural barrier that protects against external stress, but its physiological structure can be compromised when it gets damaged. In the field of medical science, wounds are a significant issue that requires immediate attention. Lavandula species are used in the food, perfume and cosmetics industries due to their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. Methods: The present study was done to assess the biocompatibility, antimicrobial and wound-healing potential of L. dentata leave methanolic extract (LE) that is cultivated in the Taif region of Saudi Arabia. The biocompatibility of LE was analyzed against the normal human skin fibroblast (HSF) cell line using SRB assay. A quarter of LE IC50 was used for wound healing assay. Finally, Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus pyogenes were used to determine LE antibacterial potential through the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) measurement. Result: LE appears safe on HSF cell line with IC50 = 97 mg/mL. LE decreased wound width, wound area and the mean cell migratory rate of wound border cells during scratch closure, while increased the wound closure% in a time-dependent manner compared to negative control. LE shows antimicrobial potential against all four strains at MIC and MBC greater than 3.0 mg/mL, except for Streptococcus pyogenes MIC= 3.0 mg/mL. In conclusion, LE offers therapeutic benefits against wound healing with an antimicrobial effect, however, higher concentrations of LE should be used to assess its effect.

Impact of tps1 Deletion and Overexpression on Terpene Metabolites in Trichoderma atroviride.

Terpenoids are structurally diverse natural products that have been widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. Research has shown that fungi produce a variety of terpenoids, yet fungal terpene synthases remain not thoroughly explored. In this study, the tps1 gene, a crucial component of the terpene synthetic pathway, was isolated from Trichoderma atroviride HB20111 through genome mining. The function of this gene in the terpene synthetic pathway was investigated by constructing tps1-gene-deletion- and overexpression-engineered strains and evaluating the expression differences in the tps1 gene at the transcript level. HS-SPME-GC-MS analysis revealed significant variations in terpene metabolites among wild-type, tps1-deleted (Δtps1), and tps1-overexpressed (Otps1) strains; for instance, most sesquiterpene volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were notably reduced or absent in the Δtps1 strain, while nerolidol, β-acorenol, and guaiene were particularly produced by the Otps1 strain. However, both the Δtps1 and Otps1 strains produced new terpene metabolites compared to the wild-type, which indicated that the tps1 gene played an important role in terpene synthesis but was not the only gene involved in T. atroviride HB20111. The TPS1 protein encoded by the tps1 gene could function as a sesquiterpene cyclase through biological information and evolutionary tree analysis. Additionally, fungal inhibition assay and wheat growth promotion assay results suggested that the deletion or overexpression of the tps1 gene had a minimal impact on fungal inhibitory activity, plant growth promotion, and development, as well as stress response. This implies that these activities of T. atroviride HB20111 might result from a combination of multiple metabolites rather than being solely dependent on one specific metabolite. This study offers theoretical guidance for future investigations into the mechanism of terpenoid synthesis and serves as a foundation for related studies on terpenoid metabolic pathways in fungi.

Bio-inspired multifunctional and reusable LiP@MFO-GO and LiP@MFO-Chit hybrid enzyme complexes for efficient degradation of melanin

Melanin is a complex brown pigment, primarily responsible for the skin pigmentation. Therefore, cosmetic industries have always been in search of potent oxidative enzymes useful for melanin degradation, and to promise a fair complexion after using their products. In the present study, lignin peroxidase from Pseudomonas fluorescence LiP-RL5 isolate has been immobilized on super-paramagnetic nanoparticles to enhance its stability and reusability. The chitosan coated enzyme-nanomaterial complex (LiP@MFO-Chit) showed higher melanin decolorization (47.30 ± 2.3 %) compared to the graphene oxide coated nanoparticles (LiP@MFO-GO) (41.60 ± 1.6 %). Synthesized enzyme nanoparticle complexes showed microbicidal effect on skin infection causing pathogen, Pantoea agglomerans with an inhibitory zone of 6.0 ± 0.9 mm and 250 µg/100 µl minimum inhibitory concentration, and a 7.0 ± 1.5 mm zone and 170 µg/100 µl MIC for LiP@MFO-GO and LiP@MFO-Chit, respectively. Antioxidant potential of LiP@MFO-Chit and LiP@MFO-GO nano-conjugates showed a substantial DPPH scavenging activity of 75.7 % and 88.3 %, respectively. Therefore, LiP-nanoparticle hybrid complexes analyzed in this study are not only effective as skin whitening agents but they are potential molecules against various microbial skin infections as well as useful for different other biomedical applications like biorefinery, drug delivery, and dermatology, etc.

Conjugation of Lysozyme and Epigallocatechin Gallate for Improving Antibacterial and Antioxidant Properties.

One of the main interests in the food industry is the preservation of food from spoilage by microorganisms or lipid oxidation. A novel alternative is the development of additives of natural origin with dual activity. In the present study, a chemically modified lysozyme (Lys) with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was developed to obtain a conjugate (Lys-EGCG) with antibacterial/antioxidant activity to improve its properties and increase its application potential. The modification reaction was carried out using a free radical grafting method for the Lys modification reaction, using ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide as radical initiators in an aqueous medium. The synthesis of Lys-EGCG conjugate was confirmed by spectroscopic (FT-IR, 1H-RMN, and XPS) and calorimetry differential scanning (DSC) analyses. The EGCG binding to the Lys biomolecule was quantified by the Folin-Ciocalteu method; the antibacterial activity was evaluated by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MCB) against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas fluorescens; the antioxidant activity was evaluated by ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP. The spectroscopic results showed that the Lys-EGCG conjugate was successfully obtained, and the DSC analysis revealed a 20°C increase (P < 0.05) in the denaturation temperature of Lys due to EGCG modification. The EGCG concentration in Lys-EGCG was 97.97 ± 4.7µmol of EGCG/g of sample. The antibacterial and antioxidant activity of the Lys-EGCG conjugate was higher (P < 0.05) than pure EGCG and Lys. The chemical modification of Lys with EGCG allows for the bioconjugate with a dual function (antibacterial/antioxidant), broadening the range of Lys and EGCG applications to different areas such as food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.

Efficient Bio-Oxidation of Cellobiose with Engineered Gluconobacter oxydans to Provide Highly Concentrated Cellobionic Acid

Cellobionic acid (CBA) can be obtained through the oxidation of cellobiose, the monomer of cellulose. CBA serves as a plant-based alternative to its stereoisomer lactobionic acid, which is used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. Gluconobacter oxydans is a well-established whole-cell biocatalyst with membrane-bound dehydrogenases (mDH) for regio-specific oxidations. As G. oxydans wildtype cells show low cellobiose oxidation activities, the glucose mDH from Pseudomonas taetrolens was overexpressed in G. oxydans BP9, a multi mDH deletion strain. Whole-cell biotransformation studies were performed with resting cells of the engineered G. oxydans in stirred tank bioreactors. Initial biomass specific cellobionate formation rates increased with increasing cellobiose concentrations up to 190 g L−1, and were constant until the solubility limit. The maximal volumetric CBA formation rates and the oxygen uptake rates increased linearly with the concentration of engineered G. oxydans. This enables the estimation of the maximum biocatalyst concentration limited by the maximum oxygen transfer rate of any bioreactor. Thus, 5.2 g L−1 G. oxydans was sufficient to produce 502 g L−1 CBA with &gt;99% yield in a simple aerobic batch process. The highly concentrated CBA will reduce downstream processing costs considerably after cell separation.

Poly(lactic acid) Degradation by Recombinant Cutinases from Aspergillus nidulans.

Poly(lactic-acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer widely used as a packaging material. Its monomer, lactic acid, and its derivatives have been used in the food, cosmetic, and chemical industries. The accumulation of PLA residues leads to the development of green degrading methodologies, such as enzymatic degradation. This work evaluates the potential use of three cutinolytic enzymes codified in the Aspergillus nidulans genome to achieve this goal. The results are compared with those obtained with proteinase K from Tritirachium album, which has been reported as a PLA-hydrolyzing enzyme. The results show that all three cutinases act on the polymer, but ANCUT 1 releases the highest amount of lactic acid (25.86 mM). Different reaction conditions assayed later led to double the released lactic acid. A decrease in weight (45.96%) was also observed. The enzyme showed activity both on poly L lactic acid and on poly D lactic acid. Therefore, this cutinase offers the potential to rapidly degrade these package residues, and preliminary data show that this is feasible.

Orange peels are also used as flavoring liqueurs, orange peel flavors is most desirable natural flavors. They are used in beverage, confectionery, bakery, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and perfumery industries. The citrus fruit residues, which are generally discarded as waste in the environment, can act as potential nutraceutical resources. Due to their low cost and easy availability such wastes are capable of offering significant low-cost nutritional dietary supplements in the form of orange peel powder in cookies. the orange peel powder waste used in various proportion viz, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 per cent levels for incorporation in cookies by replacing the Maida in the basis of overall sensory attributes, cookies prepared with 10 per cent orange peel powder were recorded higher acceptability as compared to other samples. It is calculated that orange peel powder and Maida can be substituted up to 10 per cent in Maida to prepared orange peel powder without adversely affecting attributes.

Tree size partially mediates the influence of climate on fruit and seed production in Ricinodendron heudelotii (Baill.) Heckel

AbstractUnderstanding environmental drivers of fruit and seed production in wild edible fruit species is essential for their valorisation. Ricinodendron heudelotii is an oilseed plant whose kernels are particularly treasured in cosmetic and medical industries. This study assessed fruits and seeds production patterns of R. heudelotii. Data were collected for three consecutive years on 30 trees in the phytodistricts of Plateau, Pobè and South Borgou where it naturally occurs. Tree dbh, total height, crown diameter, number of fruits and seed mass were measured. Climatic data were obtained from NASA Power Database. Data were analysed using linear (seed mass) and generalised linear (number of fruits) mixed models and structural equation modelling. Fruit and seed production were significantly higher in the South‐Borgou phytodistrict (1433 ± 1144 fruits, 4.26 ± 3.39 kg of Dry matter per tree) and Plateau phytodistrict (1.66 ± 0.35 g DM/seed). Tree dbh further significantly mediated the effect of minimum temperature, and relative humidity on seed mass. Tree dbh, irradiance and dry season rainfall were identified as the best‐predictors of seed mass production (kg DM). These results improved current knowledge of the fruit and seed production of R. heudelotii and are of significant importance for the exploitation of the species.

Synergistic delivery of hADSC-Exos and antioxidants has inhibitory effects on UVB-induced skin photoaging

Ultraviolet B (UVB) light exposure accelerates skin photoaging. Human adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (hADSC-Exos) and some antioxidants may have anti-photoaging effects. However, it is unknown whether the combination of hADSC-Exos and antioxidants plays a synergistic role in anti-photoaging. In cellular and 3D skin models, we showed that vitamin E (VE) and hADSC-Exos were optimal anti-photoaging combinations. In vivo, VE and hADSC-Exos increased skin tightening and elasticity in UVB-induced photoaging mice Combined treatment with VE and hADSC-Exos inhibited SIRT1/NF-κB pathway. These findings contribute to the understanding of hADSC-Exos in conjunction with other antioxidants, thereby providing valuable insights for the future pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Advances and Challenges in Biomanufacturing of Glycosylation of Natural Products

Glycosylation is one of the most common and important modifications in natural products (NPs), which can alter the biological activities and properties of NPs, effectively increase structural diversity, and improve pharmacological activities. The biosynthesis of glycosylation in natural products involves multiple complex biological processes, which are coordinated by many enzymes. UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) play a crucial role in glycosylation modification, and have attracted long-term and widespread research attention. UGTs can catalyze the O-, C-, S-, and N-glycosylation of different substrates, producing a variety of glycosides with broad biological activity, while improving the solubility, stability, bioavailability, pharmacological activity, and other functions of NPs. In recent years, the rapid development of synthetic biology and advanced manufacturing technologies, especially the widespread application of artificial intelligence in the field of synthetic biology, has led to a series of new discoveries in the biosynthesis of NP glycosides by UGT. This work summarizes the latest progress and challenges in the field of NP glycosylation, covering the research results and potential applications of glycosylated derivatives of terpenes, flavonoids, polyphenols, aromatic compounds, and other compounds in terms of biogenesis. Looking to the future, research may leverage artificial intelligence-driven synthetic biology techniques to decipher genes related to the synthetic pathway, which is expected to further promote the large-scale synthesis and application of glycosylated NPs, and increase the diversity of NPs in the pharmaceutical, functional food, and cosmetic industries.

Is the Biopesticide from Tea Tree Oil an Effective and Low-Risk Alternative to Chemical Pesticides? A Critical Review.

The use of chemical pesticides in agriculture contributes to soil, water and air pollution, biodiversity loss, and injury to non-target species. The European Commission has already established a Harmonized Risk Indicator to quantify the progress in reducing the risks linked to pesticides. Therefore, there is an increasing need to promote biopesticides, or so-called low-risk pesticides (LRP). Tea tree oil (TTO) is known for its antiseptic, antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. TTO has been extensively studied in pest management as well as in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry; there are already products based on its active substances on the market. This review focuses on the overall evaluation of TTO in terms of effectiveness and safety as a biopesticide for the first time. The collected data can be an added value for further evaluation of TTO in terms of the authorization extension as a fungicide in 2026.

A Spotlight on the Potential of Microscopic Motile Algae as Novel Sources for Modern Cosmetic Products

The recognition and use of algae in the very trend-driven cosmetic industry is progressively increasing. Up to now, the main focus was on large seaweeds and a limited number of microalgae. However, motile microalgae, flagellates, remain underscored in this aspect, although some of them are utilized commercially. Flagellates from different taxonomic groups occupy various habitats and contain bioactive high-value multifunctional compounds, some of which are novel. Moreover, they may simultaneously produce different substances, which together with the development of downstream processing technologies, makes them a promising source for modern biotechnology. The present review covers data on 411 strains, 251 species from 110 genera from 6 phyla, and is oriented generally towards less explored flagellates. It demonstrates their great potential as bearers of interesting novel compounds that can be beneficially applied in modern cosmetics. Safety aspects of both sources and products are also discussed. Considering the gaps in the knowledge, the necessity to expand the research on both well-known and yet unexplored microalgae is shown, encouraging the development of upstreaming processes, including phycoprospecting. Last but not least, this paper outlines the role of living culture collections and of using good taxonomic expertise before running the biochemical tests, cultivation, and bioengineering experiments.

Engineering Escherichia coli to Efficiently Produce Colanic Acid with Low Molecular Mass and Viscosity.

Colanic acid (CA) is exopolysaccharide that presents growing potential in the food and healthcare industry as a versatile polymer. Previously, we have constructed the Escherichia coli strain WWM16 which can efficiently produce CA. In this study, WWM16 has been further engineered to produce a higher yield of CA with low molecular mass and viscosity. The gene mcbR encoding a transcriptional factor, and the genes opgD, opgG, and opgH related to the biosynthesis of osmoregulated periplasmic glucans were deleted in E. coli WWM16, and the resulting strain WWM166 produced 18.1 g/L CA. The expression level of wcaD encoding the polymerase in WWM166 was downregulated using CRISPRi. As a result, the strain WWM166/pWpD1 could produce 49.9 g/L CA with lower molecular mass. CA products were purified from both WWM166 and WWM166/pWpD1, and their molecular mass, viscosity, fluidity, hygroscopicity, and antioxidant activity were determined and compared. These findings demonstrate the potential application of CA with different molecular masses to prolong life and protect skin in the food and cosmetic industries.

Preparation and characterization of a nanostructured lipid carrier for phenylethyl resorcinol

Phenylethyl resorcinol (PR) demonstrates inhibitory effects on multiple targets in the melanin synthesis pathway, resulting in a strong whitening effect. However, challenges such as limited solubility in water and susceptibility to oxidation and discoloration restrict its practical application in the cosmetics industry. In order to enhance stability and performance characteristics, a whitening nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) was synthesized through high-pressure homogenization. This method entailed the incorporation of solid lipids, a liquid lipid, and a compound emulsifier, with deionized water fulfilling the roles of solid phase, liquid phase, and water phase, respectively. The NLC's particle size, Zeta potential, stability, encapsulation efficiency, and other parameters were assessed using techniques such as particle sizer, stability analyzer, and HPLC. The results showed that the NLC for phenylethyl resorcinol prepared by using the optimal formula (7.50 % solid lipids, 3.00 % ethylhexyl palmitate, and 2.00 % Tween 80 and soybean lecithin) has an encapsulation efficiency of 87.11 %, a particle size of 157.2 ± 0.70 nm, a kinetic instability of less than 1.2, and a greatly improved stability, thereby successfully solving the problems of unstable storage and poor solubility of phenylethyl resorcinol.

Health risks associated with hazardous airborne chemicals in beauty salons: A pilot study in Kuwaiti salons

The beauty industry has become increasingly popular in recent years, leading to a surge in salon visits for various beauty treatments. However, public concerns were raised about the possible health dangers linked to the widespread use of harmful chemicals in beauty salons. To address these concerns, a pilot study was conducted in Kuwait to evaluate and identify the ten most commonly occurring hazardous airborne chemicals in different beauty salons. Air samples were gathered from inside and outside ten beauty salons situated in diverse regions of Kuwait, covering various periods, including working hours, non-working hours, and a continuous 24-h period. The study used diffusion tubes for sampling and employed the thermo-desorption gas chromatograph/mass spectroscopy technique (TD-GC/MS) to identify the chemical compounds. In addition, the measured concentration of compounds was utilized to assess the potential inhalation health risks associated with both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic substances, employing the USEPA Cancer Risk Indicator (CRI) and Hazard Quotient Indicator (HQI). The findings indicated that indoor concentrations of hazardous chemicals were significantly higher than those recorded outdoors. A total of 55 hazardous chemicals were detected in the indoor air quality inside beauty salons, and benzene concentrations exceeded ACGIH thresholds, suggesting a potential health concern. Although concentrations of toluene, ethylbenzene, m/p-xylene, and o-xylene remained below NIOSH recommendations, health risk assessments indicated the potential carcinogenicity of three compounds in the indoor air of beauty salons: benzene, ethylbenzene, and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. Additionally, 15 compounds were identified by non-carcinogenic risk assessments, such as ethyl acetate and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. These findings emphasize the urgency of implementing measures to address the exposure in Kuwait's beauty salons and conducting further research.
