Spatial Distribution and Antioxidant Activity of Extracts from Citrus Fruits.

Citrus fruits are recommended components of the human diet because of their enriched composition in bioactive compounds and health benefits. Among their notable components are phenols, with a special emphasis on flavonoids, limonoids, and carboxylic acids. In this research, we have carried out a spatial metabolomics analysis for the characterization of these bioactive families in three citrus fruits, namely, lemons, limes, and mandarins. Sampling was undertaken, for which the juices and three fruit tissues, namely, albedo, flavedo, and segments, were analyzed. This characterization allowed for the determination of 49 bioactive compounds in all the samples. The composition of the different extracts was correlated with the antioxidant capacity measured by the DPPH radical scavenging activity and β-carotene bleaching assays. Flavonoids, found in the albedo and flavedo at higher concentrations, were the main components responsible for DPPH radical scavenging activity. On the other hand, the combined action of flavonoids and limonoids contributed to explaining the antioxidant activity measured by the β-carotene bleaching assay. Generally, the antioxidant capacity of juices was lower than that estimated for extracts from citrus tissues.

Variation of the phenolic composition and a-glucosidase inhibition potential of seeds, soaked seeds, and sprouts of four wild forms and four varieties of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

The determination of the changes in the composition of bioactive phenolic compounds of germinating seeds which accumulate high levels of these compounds could contribute to the understanding of the germination mechanism and the development of markers for the selection of plant genotypes. In the current study, the changes in the phenolic composition and a-glucosidase inhibition activity, taking place during the germination of four wild forms and four varieties of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) from Durango Mexico, were determined. A total of 66 phenolic compounds (19 phenolic acids, 18 isoflavones, 18 flavonol glycosides, 3 flavonol aglycones, 3 flavones, 2 dihydroflavonoids, 2 chalcones and one non-identified type) were found by HPLC-DAD, which were differentially accumulated by the seeds, 24 h-soaked seeds, and 4 day-sprouts of each genotype. The accumulation of the flavonol aglycones, myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol was distinctive of the wild seeds. Soaking not only caused leaching and degradation but also triggered the synthesis of new phenolic compounds whereas germination diversified the composition of isoflavones and flavonol glycosides. The seeds of all genotypes analyzed were important inhibitors of a-glucosidase, improving their potential after soaking and germination. The results suggested that the structure rather than the concentration of the flavonoids and phenolic acids determined the inhibitory potential of a-glucosidase of samples. The principal component analysis and cluster analysis revealed HPLC-DAD phenolic profiles as genotype-specific chemomarkers at any of the states (seeds, soaked seeds, and sprouts). The results have wide implications on agronomy and food quality.

Nutritional composition, ultrastructural characterization, and peptidome profile of antioxidant hemp protein hydrolysates

Hemp is the term commonly used to refer to the variety of Cannabis sativa L. cultivated for industrial purposes. The seeds have gained interest in recent years as functional foods due to their nutritional composition and high content of protein and bioactive compounds. In this study, ten hemp protein hydrolysates (HPHs) were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis with Alcalase and Flavourzyme from hemp protein isolate (HPI) and their antioxidant properties (DPPH radical scavenging activity, beta-carotene activity and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)) were evaluated. Shorter peptide sequences, mainly obtained with Flavourzyme, were found to react with free radicals more easily. The peptidome of all the hydrolysates was characterized, identifying, and quantifying the peptides. Furthermore, 19 unique peptides were assessed by in silico tools to hypothesize those that could be responsible of the bioactivity reported for the hydrolysates. From the identified peptides, based on the molecular features and the predictions, the peptides KNAIYTPH, EERPGHF, and KNGMMAPH, among others, are proposed to be highly contributing to the antioxidant activity of the hydrolysates.

Is acute low-dose gamma irradiation an effective elicitor for secondary metabolism in Leontopodium alpinum (Cass.) callus culture?

Leontopodium alpinum Cass. (Edelweiss) is a protected species in some European countries and has become of growing interest for exploitation by the food supplements and cosmetics industry, due to its valuable composition in bioactive and biocompatible compounds. Small scale field cultivation and in vitro biotechnological approaches are economically viable alternatives to the production via chemical synthesis. In this study, we aimed to compare two performant L. alpinum callus culture lines and to investigate the effect of acute low dose gamma irradiation on biomass accumulation (Gi), total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity (DPPH) and secondary metabolites’ profile. A purple, pigmented line (PC) was obtained under lightning conditions and in the absence of light, an unpigmented greenish line (GC) was established. Both lines displayed impressive proliferative capacity after 14 days of culture, with an 18.31 ( ± 1.83) fold mass increase for PC and a 13.27 ( ± 2.42) for GC. In respect to Gi, TPC, TFC and DPPH, the purple callus line significantly outperformed the unpigmented line. According to the UPLC-HRMS analysis of the methanolic extracts, both callus lines displayed similar metabolic profiles, having similar quantities of 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, leontopodic acids A and B, but 60% higher concentration of chlorogenic acid in the GC line. In the methanolic callus extracts, 9 economically important phenylpropanoid derivatives were identified. The two callus lines responded differently to low dose gamma irradiation. Although the control values measured for Gi, TPC, TFC and DPPH were significantly higher in the PC line, this line was generally negatively impacted by the gamma treatments. On the contrary, higher, but not significant, values were registered in some GC variants post irradiation with 25, 30 and 40 Gy. UPLC-HRMS investigations emphasized the overproduction of 7 compounds, post irradiation with all doses, for the PC line, while for the unpigmented line only one compound was stimulated by all irradiation treatments. The highest stimulative effect was obtained for the 35 and 40 Gy experimental variants, in the GC line, where dihydroxybenzoic acid glucoside accumulation was increased by 160%. The results of this study showed, for the first time, the different responses of two distinct L. alpinum callus lines using gamma irradiation elicitation method, which can be successfully applied to stimulate the production of certain industrially important compounds as chlorogenic acid, dicaffeoylquinic acid isomers or characteristic glucaric acids.

Determination of the Effects of Bee Venom on Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells in Vitro.

Honeybees provide multiple products such as bee venom (BV) which are used for various nutritional and medicinal purposes. BV has received great attention due to its wide range of bioactive components with potential anti-cancer effects on different cancers. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is defined as an aggressive type of breast cancer and new therapeutic targets are required for its treatment. In the current literature information is varied about the composition and quantity of BV bioactive compounds as well as the origin of BV and its significance. In this context, the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of BV with a higher rate of mellitin from Apis mellifera anatoliaca (Muğla ecotype) on MDA-MB-231 cells was evaluated, in vitro. The cytotoxic, apoptotic and morphological effects of BV were determined by WST-1, Annexin V, cell cycle analysis and Acridine Orange staining. The results showed that BV caused apoptotic cell death in TNBC cells at a lower dose (0.47 μg/mL, p<0.01). This study suggests that BV could be developed as a potential therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. However, the mechanism of BV-induced apoptosis death should be clarified at the molecular level.

Bioactive Compounds of Verbascum sinuatum L.: Health Benefits and Potential as New Ingredients for Industrial Applications

Verbascum sinuatum (V. sinuatum) is a plant belonging to the Scrophulariaceae family that has been used as an ingredient in traditional medicine infusions for the treatment of many diseases. The aerial part of this plant is a source of bioactive compounds, especially polyphenols and iridoids. Moreover, antioxidant activity studies have shown that V. sinuatum phenolic and flavonoid composition is higher than those in other plants of the same genus. V. sinuatum bioactive compound composition could vary according to the harvesting location, growing conditions of the plants, sample preparation methods, type and concentration of the extraction solvent, and the extraction methods. The obtention of these compounds can be achieved by different extraction techniques, most commonly, maceration, heat assisted extraction, and infusion. Nevertheless, since conventional extraction techniques have several drawbacks such as long times of extraction or use of large amounts of solvents, the use of green extraction techniques is suggested, without affecting the efficiency of the extraction. Moreover, V. sinuatum bioactive compounds have several biological activities, such as antioxidant, anticancer, cardiovascular, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective activities, that may be increased by encapsulation. Since the bioactive compounds extracted from V. sinuatum present good potential as functional food ingredients and in the development of drugs or cosmetics, this review gives an approach of the possible incorporation of these compounds in the food and pharmacological industries.

Influence of harvesting dates and genotypes on secondary metabolites status and antioxidant activity in Lawsonia inermis L. (Henna)

The composition and concentration of bioactive compounds and minerals in henna (Lawsonia inermis L.) can be considerably affected by harvesting date and genotype; whereas, less information is available regarding these factors. This study was performed as a split-plot design based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications (n = 3). Experimental treatments consisted of three harvest dates (May, July, and October) as the main plot and five genotypes (Kahnooj, Bam, Jiroft, Qale gang, and Zehekalut) as sub-plot over two years of 2019 and 2020. According to results, harvesting dates significantly affected secondary metabolites such as lawsone, flavonoid, tannin (p < 0.01), and antioxidant activity in terms of DPPH (p < 0.05). The interactive effect of harvest date × genotypes indicated that Bam × July recorded the maximum of lawsone (90.56 μg/ml). Additionally, the highest level of phenolic compounds was achieved under the interaction effect of Kahnooj × October (160.1 μg/g Gallic acid/DM). Bam × July × year (2019) showed the maximum of lawsone and flavonoid (94.59 μg/ml and 98.04 μg Catechin/g DM, respectively), also, Bam × October × 2019 produced the highest tannin level (13.03 mg catechin/100 ml E). Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between tannin, anthocyanin, and flavonoid with lawsone, while phenol, antioxidant activity (DPPH, RP) was negatively correlated with lawsone. Regardless of harvest date, the highest lawsone, anthocyanin, and flavonoid content in 2019 was obtained in Bam genotype. Overall, this study suggests that July can be the optimum date for harvesting of Bam genotype regarding to the quality characteristics (lawsone and flavonoid).

Effect of Storage Conditions on the Stability of Polyphenols of Apple and Strawberry Purees Produced at Industrial Scale by Different Processing Techniques.

During a food product's life, storage conditions affect its composition of nutrients, bioactive compounds, and sensory attributes. In this research, strawberry and apple purees were selected as a model to examine how the storage of various purees industrially produced with different technologies affect the bioactive phenolic compounds, color, and sensory attributes. Specifically, fruit products processed on an industrial scale by different technologies including freezing, thermal treatment (mild and standard), and high-pressure processing were studied, as well as storage for up to 12 months at -20, 4, and 24 °C. In strawberry puree, storage conditions had a stronger impact on phenolic compound levels, particularly on anthocyanins, whereas in apple puree, the initial processing techniques exerted a greater influence than storage conditions, mainly caused by the hot or cold crushing processes. In general, proanthocyanidins were the major phenolic group and the most stable during storage, while anthocyanins were the group most affected by both processing and storage. Apple flavonols and dihydrochalcones were quite stable, while strawberry ellagitannins suffered higher degradations during storage. Through our analysis, it is found that during storage, the stability of polyphenols in each fruit is different, and processing and storage can be either detrimental or even beneficial. The selection of the ideal storage conditions (time and temperature) is a key factor to maintaining the polyphenol content in sensitive fruits such as strawberries. However, storage conditions are in some cases more important to minimizing the polyphenol losses than how the product is processed.

Potential Health Benefits of Banana Phenolic Content during Ripening by Implementing Analytical and In Silico Techniques.

Banana ranks as the fifth most cultivated agricultural crop globally, highlighting its crucial socio-economic role. The banana's health-promoting benefits are correlated with its composition in bioactive compounds, such as phenolic compounds. Thus, the present study attempts to evaluate the potential health benefits of banana phenolic content by combing analytical and in silico techniques. Particularly, the total phenolic content and antioxidant/antiradical activity of banana samples during ripening were determined spectrophotometrically. In parallel, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis was implemented to unravel the variations in the phenolic profile of banana samples during ripening. Chlorogenic acid emerged as a ripening marker of banana, while apigenin and naringenin were abundant in the unripe fruit. In a further step, the binding potential of the elucidated phytochemicals was examined by utilizing molecular target prediction tools. Human carbonic anhydrase II (hCA-II) and XII (hCA-XII) enzymes were identified as the most promising targets and the inhibitory affinity of phenolic compounds was predicted through molecular docking studies. This class of enzymes is linked to a variety of pathological conditions, such as edema, obesity, hypertension, cancer, etc. The results assessment indicated that all assigned phenolic compounds constitute great candidates with potential inhibitory activity against CA enzymes.

Butylene Glycol Used as a Sustainable Solvent for Extracting Bioactive Compounds from Camellia sinensis Flowers with Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction.

The research aims to assess the yield of bioactive compounds and their antioxidant activities obtained from tea flowers using an ultrasound-assisted extraction method with butylene glycol (BG-UAE) through Box-Behnken design. It investigates the bioactive compounds including the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and total tannin content (TTC) and analyzes their antioxidant activities, bioactive compound composition by liquid chromatography triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry, and their cellular activities via UAE and maceration using BG or ethanol as the solvent. Under optimal conditions, the values of the TPC, TFC, TTC, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil radical scavenging assay, 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid radical scavenging assay, and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP) of the BG-UAE extract were 54.00 ± 1.19 mg GAE/g sample, 291.47 ± 3.34 mg QE/g sample, 65.37 ± 1.78 mg TAE/g sample, 106.45 ± 1.21 mg TEAC/g sample, 163.58 ± 2.76 mg TEAC/g sample, and 121.31 ± 4.75 mg FeSO4/g sample, respectively. Except for FRAP, BG-UAE exhibited the highest values in all parameters compared to the other extraction methods. Catechins and caffeine were predominantly detected in tea flower extracts through UAE with BG and ethanol (EtOH-UAE). BG-UAE exhibited greater cell viability and cellular antioxidant activity than EtOH-UAE. The researcher expects that this research will contribute to the emergence of a green extraction technique that will offer larger functional components with economic and environmental benefits and minimal chemicals and energy use.

Nutritivni sastav i bioaktivna svojstva integralnog brašna dobijenog od inbred linija kukuruza

The aim of this study was to assess the chemical composition and bioactive properties of the wholegrain flour obtained from eleven maize inbred lines to identify genotypes with increased potential for the development of hybrids with high nutritional and functional value, suitable for food production. The maize inbreds, including seven standard yellow, two QPM (quality protein maize) and two lines for red kernel hybrids, were grown in the experimental field of the Maize Research Institute at the location of Zemun Polje, Serbia. Wholegrain maize flour was got by grinding the maize grain in a laboratory mill. The assessment of the chemical composition and content of certain bioactive compounds, as well as the total antioxidant capacity, was conducted using standard laboratory procedures. The highest starch content (73.73%) was determined in line L8, while line L10 had the highest protein content (12.82%). Among soluble proteins, the a-zein fraction was dominant in most of the lines, ranging from 0.92% to 3.57%. The highest content of total fibres (NDF) was determined in red kernel line L9 (15.77%). Line L8 was the richest in total carotenoids (21.08 mg bCE/g d.m.), while line L7 had the highest total antioxidant capacity (34.30 mmol Trolox/kg d.m.), which can be explained by the presence of anthocyanins in the red grain. Line L1 had the highest content of total sugars (3.36%), and line L4 had the lowest (1.44%). Most of the samples of inbred lines investigated in this study showed good quality parameters regarding chemical composition and bioactive properties. The obtained results may provide some valuable guidelines needed in the following stages of maize breeding and open up various possibilities for the utilization of wholegrain maize flour in the food industry.

Antioxidant activity of fruit jellies enriched with phytochemicals from Pinus sylvestris L.

The aim of this study was to examine the antioxidant properties of fruit jellies made from concentrated fruit juice with the addition of bioactive compounds acquired from young pine shoots. The scope of work included: determination of the optimal extraction temperature of bioactive compounds with the use of concentrated apple juice as an osmotic agent, preparation of jellies from obtained extract, as well as analysis of the phytochemical and antioxidant activity of jellies using S. cerevisiae as a model organism. The study showed that concentrated apple juice can be a good extractant of bioactive ingredients contained in young pine shoots. However, it has been demonstrated that the recovery efficiency of these components is dependent on the process temperature. The most efficient extraction of phytochemicals can be achieved by conducting the process at 60 °C. The jellies made from the extract showed high antioxidant activity which was closely correlated with the amount of raw material used. In addition, the composition of bioactive compounds presented in the jellies reduced the level of oxidative stress in yeast cells treated with H2O2, which was demonstrated by lower intracellular ROS and lower SOD activity. The result was reduced cytotoxicity of hydrogen peroxide and increased cell viability.

Effect of agro-industrial by-products on inflammation and oxidative stress using an in vitro cell model

Abstract Agro-industrial by-products can play an important role in the animal feeding, being an alternative to conventional raw materials. These two wastes can be considered as important sources of bioactive compounds that can be used in animal feed with multiple benefits for animal health. This study has investigated the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant in vitro capacity of grape seed and sea buckthorn meals, as waste resulted from the oil industry in order to be used in swine nutrition. The in vitro study was realised on swine peripheral blood mononuclear cells challenged with LPS and treated or not with grape seed meal and sea buckthorn meal extracts. Our results show that both extracts have the capacity to attenuate the inflammation and oxidative stress induced by LPS. The effect induced by the grape seed meal extract was in majority of cases more important than of the sea buckthorn, this effect might be due to a different composition in bioactive compounds (polyphenols, PUFA etc) of the two extracts.

Profiling of Nutritionally Vital Bioactive Compounds in Emerging Green Leafy Vegetables: A Comparative Study.

Green leafy vegetables (GLVs), especially lettuce and spinach, are the key source of bioactive antioxidants in a diet. This research compared the contents and composition of lettuce and spinach bioactive compounds with emerging GLVs, moringa and fenugreek. Liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) with single ion monitoring (SIM) was used to examine carotenoids and tocols, while phytosterols were examined using gas chromatography (GC)-MS. Among the studied GLVs, the (all-E)-lutein was the most dominating carotenoid ranging between 31.3 (green/red lettuce)−45.3 % (fenugreek) of total carotenoids, followed by (all-E)-violaxanthin and (all-E)-β-carotene. Surprisingly, (all-E)-β-carotene, a provitamin A carotenoid, was the second most dominating carotenoid in moringa, accounting for 109.2 µg/g fresh weight (FW). Moreover, the significantly highest (p < 0.05; Tukey HSD) contents of total carotenoids (473.3 µg/g FW), α-tocopherol (83.7 µg/g FW), and total phytosterols (206.4 µg/g FW) were recorded in moringa. Therefore, moringa foliage may serve as an affordable source of nutritionally vital constituents in a diet.

Effects of Extraction Methods on the Bioactivities and Nutritional Value of Virginia and Valencia-Type Peanut Oil.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of peanut varieties cultivated in Morocco (Virginia and Valencia) and extraction methods (cold press, CP; Soxhlet, Sox and maceration, and Mac) on the fatty acid profile, phytosterol, and tocopherol contents, quality characteristics, and antioxidant potential of peanut seed oil. The DPPH method was used to determine the antioxidant activity of the oils. The results revealed that fatty acid content was slightly affected by the extraction technique. However, the CP method was shown to be an excellent approach for extracting oil with desirable quality features compared to the Sox and Mac methods. Furthermore, the peanut oil extracted via CP carried a higher amount of bioactive compounds and exhibited remarkable antioxidant activities. The findings also revealed higher oleic acid levels from the Virginia oil, ranging from 56.46% to 56.99%. Besides, a higher total phytosterol and tocopherol content and DPPH scavenging capacity were obtained from the Valencia oil. Analyzing the study, it can be inferred that extraction method and variety both affect the composition of the peanut oil's bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity. This information is relevant for extracting peanut oil with a greater level of compounds of industrial interest.

LC-MS/MS based metabolite profiling and lipase enzyme inhibitory activity of Kaempferia angustifolia Rosc. with different extracting solvents

Kaempferia angustifolia also known as kunci pepet in Indonesia, has been widely used as a traditional medicine to treat cold, cough, stomachache, diarrhea, fever, and dysentery, also used as a slimming agent. The level of biological activity depends on the composition and concentration of bioactive compounds present in the plants. In addition, extraction solvents affects the composition and concentration of bioactive compounds. Therefore, this study aimed at identifying the metabolite profile of K. angustifolia and to evaluate the inhibitory potential of their various solvent extracts towards lipase enzyme. Extracts were prepared using water and different concentration of ethanol (30–99%) and then analyzed their metabolite profile using LC-MS/MS. Lipase inhibitory activity was assessed using in vitro enzymatic inhibition assay. In this study, profile of K. angustifolia was shown to be rich in terpenoids (monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids), and phenolics (carboxylic acid and phenolic acid). Most of the identified compounds were detected in ethanol extract of K. angustifolia . The ethanol extract at 100 μg/mL displayed 59.82% inhibitory activity towards lipase and was found to have the highest inhibitory activity compared to the other extracts. A partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was performed for clustering the extracts based on the peak area of 53 putatively identified compounds. Based on the result obtained, 50% ethanol extract is the best extract that gives the highest inhibition results and 15 metabolites were identified, mainly from the carboxylic acid and terpenoid groups.
