The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of nanopowdered peanut sprout-added Caciocavallo cheese (NPCC) on the prevention and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in DBA/IJ mice immunized with type II collagen. After the induction of arthritis, the mice were being divided into five groups: (1) normal, no immunization; (2) CIA, collagen-induced arthritis; (3) MTX, collagen-induced arthritis treated with methotrexate (0.3 mg/kg body weight); (4) CC, collagen-induced arthritis treated with Caciocavallo cheese (0.6 g/d); (5) NPCC, collagen-induced arthritis treated with nanopowdered peanut sprout-added Caciocavallo cheese (0.6 g/d). Nanopowdered peanut sprout was ranged from 300 to 350 nm, while regular powdered peanut sprouts were ranged from 50 to $150{\mu}m$. The NPCC group had considerable reductions of clinical scores and paw thicknesses at the end of experiment as compared to the CIA group. In the serum analysis, the TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6 and $IgG_1$ levels in the NPCC group have decreased by 69.4, 75.9, 66.6, and 61.9%, respectively, when compared to the CIA group. The histological score and spleen index of the NPCC group were significantly lower than the CIA group. In conclusion, the feeding NPCC method could delay and/or prevent the rheumatoid arthritis in the collagen-induced arthritis mouse model. Based on this study, nanopowdered peanut sprouts could be applied to various functional cheeses.

This study was conducted to compare the physicochemical and sensory properties of yogurt containing nanopowdered peanut sprouts (NPPS) and powdered peanut sprouts (PPS) at different concentrations (0.05-0.20%, w/v) during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 16 d. The pH values of NPPS (0.05-0.20%, w/v)-added yogurt were lower than those of PPS-added yogurt. The antiradical scavenging activity and LAB counts were significantly higher in NPPS-added yogurt than in PPS-added yogurt during the storage period of 16 d (p<0.05). Higher concentrations (0.15, and 0.20%) NPPS-added yogurt showed greater antiradical scavenging activity. The LAB counts were ranged from $9.00{\times}10^8$ to $1.10{\times}10^9$ and $1.30{\times}10^9$ to $9.10{\times}10^8$ CFU/mL in 0.05% and 0.20% NPPS-added yogurts, respectively. In sensory testing, 0.05 and 0.10% NPPS-added yogurt showed similar results to the control in whey-off, grainy texture, and overall acceptability. Yellowness and astringent scores increased with increasing addition of NPPS or PPS to the yogurt irrespective of its storage times. Peanut and beany flavors were lower during the storage for 0.05 and 0.10% NPPS-added yogurt. Based on the data obtained from the present study, it was concluded that 0.05 and 0.10%, w/v of NPPS could be used to produce NPPS-added yogurt without significant adverse effects on the physicochemical and sensory properties, but with an enhanced functional value added to the yogurt.

A study was conducted to examine the physicochemical and sensory properties of milk supplemented with nanopowdered peanut sprouts (NPPS) at different concentrations (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9%, w/v) during the storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 16 d. The size of NPPS ranged from 300-350 nm as observed by the particle size analyzer. The pH values of all samples ranged from 6.8 to 6.6 during the storage of 16 d. In color, the $L^*$ value of milk samples were not remarkably influenced by NPPS supplementation, whereas the $b^*$ and $a^*$ values significantly increased with the NPPS supplementation at all concentrations at 0 d storage, due to the original yellow color of NPPS powder (p<0.05). DPPH study revealed that higher antioxidant activity of milk supplement with higher concentrations of NPPS. TBARS value found to lower at the lower concentrations (1 and 3%, w/v) of NPPS supplementation. The sensory test revealed that the overall acceptability scores of NPPS supplemented milk samples (1 and 3%, w/v) were quite similar to control throughout the storage period of 16 d. Based on the data obtained from the present study, it was concluded that the concentrations (1 and 3%, w/v) of NPPS could be used to produce NPPS-supplemented milk without significant adverse effects on physicochemical and sensory properties, and enhance functional components from the supplementation.
