In vivo functional and health benefits of a prebiotic soursop whey beverage processed by high-intensity ultrasound: Study with healthy Wistar rats

Ultrasonic-assisted extraction of polyphenolic compounds from Paederia scandens (Lour.) Merr. Using deep eutectic solvent: optimization, identification, and comparison with traditional methods

“…A calorimetric assay was used to measure the actual ultrasonic power [31] . Briefly, 15 L water was poured into the bath system.…”

“…The temperature was collected at fifteen sites (four corners and the center at upper layer, middle layer, and bottom layer of water in the centrifuge tube from triplicate experiments. The actual ultrasonic power was calculated according to equation: the actual ultrasonic power (W) = m*C w *(dT/dt), where m was the mass (kg) of the water submitted to the ultrasonic processing, C w was the specific heat of the water at constant pressure, and dT/dt was the rate of temperature rise during the process time (°C/s) [31] . The actual ultrasonic power for 240 W, 300 W, 320 W and 360 W was 57.7 W, 72.2 W, 77.0 W, and 86.6 W, respectively.…”

Prebiotic effect of D-allulose and β-glucan on whey beverage with Bifidobacterium animalis and investigation of some health effects of this functional beverage on rats

“…These effects were clearly demonstrated in the present study. Likewise, Guimarães et al (2022) observed that a 15 days of prebiotic soursop whey beverage consumption was sufficient to cause significant alterations in healthy Wistar rats' health indices.…”
