Fruit phytochemicals: antioxidant activity and health-promoting properties

Synthesized in plants, polyphenols are powerful antioxidants and protect against stressful conditions. We aimed to identify different kinds of phytochemicals in fruits and provide detailed information on the roles they play in promoting good health in the human body. We also discussed the biological activities of phytochemicals found in several fruits. 
 Google Scholar and PubMed databases were used to search for relevant information that could assist in answering our research questions. We selected and reviewed both research and review articles related to the purpose of our study.
 Fruits contain numerous antioxidants which neutralize the negative impact of free radicals on the body. Free radicals are destructive species that can be produced during normal body metabolism or come from exogenous sources such as smoking or exposure to radiation. Due to their unstable nature, they can cause damage to cellular macromolecules, resulting in the development of degenerative diseases. Phytochemicals are diverse groups of bioactive compounds found in fruits that have potent antioxidant activity and exhibit several health-promoting properties in both in vivo and in vitro studies. There are two major groups of antioxidants: natural (or dietary) antioxidants and synthetic antioxidants. Natural antioxidants have gained much popularity in recent times because of the safety concerns surrounding the use of synthetic antioxidants.
 The consumption of fruits plays a critical role in disease prevention, especially diseases resulting from oxidative damage to cells. The inclusion of fruits in one’s daily diet helps improve their overall wellbeing.

Beneficial Fruit-Derived Phytochemicals in Treating Alzheimer’s Disease – A Review

Fruits, as a major source of nutrition have been investigated for their emerging evidence of several neuroprotective activities beneficial to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This paper discusses recent evidence suggesting several fruit-derived bioactive substances that possess anti-AD activity. The original articles from 2011–2022 were collected from Pubmed and Scopus with related keywords and filtered. Several fruit constituents have shown significant inhibitory action against β-amyloid and tau hyperphosphorylation, either directly or indirectly via secretase inhibition. Some were also found to be cholinesterase inhibitors with specific antioxidative roles, disruptors of the neuroinflammation system, and promoters of neurogenesis and the neurogenic process. Many fruit phytochemicals remarkably alter the capability defects shown in AD animal models, such as catechin, nobiletin, and alpha-mangostin. Therefore, further investigations exploring a certain bioactive isolate or formulated dosage form and its mechanism of action are necessary to provide effective prevention and supplementary treatment for AD.

One-Pot Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Garcinia gummi-gutta: Characterisation, Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Anti-Cancerous and Photocatalytic Applications.

Methods like the bio-synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using plant extracts have become promising due to their eco-friendly approach. The study aimed to examine the utilization of Garcinia gummi-gutta fruit phytochemicals as agents in the biosynthesis of Ag NPs, evaluation of the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-cancerous properties, as well as the photocatalytic ability of bio-synthesized Ag NPs against Crystal Violet (CV), a triphenylmethane dye. The characterization of the physical properties of the Ag NPs synthesized via the green route was done using UV-Vis spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Zeta potential analysis, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The dye degradation efficiency of CV was determined using synthesized Ag NPs under UV light by analyzing the absorption maximum at 579 nm. The antimicrobial efficacy of Ag NPs against E. coli, S. aureus, Candida tropicalis, and Candida albicans was examined using the broth dilution method. The antioxidant and anti-cancer properties of the synthesized Ag NPs were assessed using the DPPH and MTT assays. The UV analysis revealed that the peak of synthesized Ag NPs was 442 nm. Data from FTIR, XRD, Zeta potential, SEM, and TEM analysis confirmed the formation of nanoparticles. The SEM and TEM analysis identified the presence of spherical nanoparticles with an average size of 29.12 nm and 24.18 nm, respectively. Maximum dye degradation efficiency of CV was observed at 90.08% after 320 min without any silver leaching, confirming the photocatalytic activity of Ag NPs. The bio-efficiency of the treatment was assessed using the Allium cepa root growth inhibition test, toxicity analysis on Vigna radiata, and Brine shrimp lethality assay. The findings revealed the environmentally friendly nature of green Ag NPs over physical/chemically synthesized Ag NPs. The synthesized Ag NPs can effectively be used in biomedical and photocatalytic applications.

PLANT BIOACTIVE ; CAROTENOIDS, POLYPHENOLS AND FLAVONOIDS IN IMPROVING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AGAINST COVID-19 INFECTION

COVID-19 (coronavirus) is a new type of virus that can cause disease in animals and humans. This type of virus causes a crisis or threat to human life in 2020. Before an ideal vaccine or drug is found to prevent COVID-19 infection, steps or approaches are needed that can break the chain of infection. Several things that can be done to prevent COVID-19 infection are to take advantage of the chemical content of natural ingredients, maintain nutritional intake, maintain the resilience of the body's immune system and adhere to health protocols. The public needs to be made aware of the use of natural metabolites in order to maintain the body's defense system. Carotenoids, polyphenols and flavonoids are a group of secondary metabolites in plants that can physiologically increase the body's immune system against bacterial and viral infections. Red, yellow pigments in plants and some organisms known as coarotenoids have the ability to enhance the body's immune response or cellular immune system. While polyphenols and flavonoids are a unique group of phytochemicals in fruits, vegetables and herbs. This component has the potential to inhibit viral replication. People are expected to use plant chemical compounds to improve the body's immune system.

Impact of Processing Method and Storage Time on Phytochemical Concentrations in an Antioxidant-Rich Food Mixture.

Foods high in phytochemicals are known for their role in the prevention of chronic disease development, but after processing and storage, such food products may lose part of their functionality as these compounds are sensitive to the impact of processing temperature and the type of methods applied. Therefore, we measured the levels of vitamin C, anthocyanins, carotenoids, catechins, chlorogenic acid, and sulforaphane in a complex blend of fruits and vegetables, and when applied to a dry food product, after exposure to different processing methods. These levels were compared between pasteurized, pascalized (high-pressure processing), and untreated conditions. Furthermore, we established the effect of freezing and storage time on the stability of these compounds. The results showed that pascalization better preserved vitamin C and sulforaphane, whereas pasteurization resulted in higher concentrations of chlorogenic acid, carotenoids, and catechins. For samples which were frozen and thawed immediately after processing, pascalization was the optimal treatment for higher contents of lutein, cyanidin-3-glucoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, delphinidin-3-glucoside, peonidin-3-glucoside, and epicatechin gallate. Ultimately, the optimal processing method to preserve phytochemicals in fruit and vegetable products is as complex as the blend of compounds, and this decision-making would best be led by the prioritized nutrient aim of an antioxidant food product.

Physical character, total polyphenols, anthocyanin profile and antioxidant activity of red cabbage as affected by five processing methods

Understanding the influence of processing methods on the phytochemicals of fruits and vegetables is of importance in retaining the health-benefiting properties of those products. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of five processing methods including freeze drying (FD), hot air drying (HD), water boiling (WB), steaming (ST), and pickling (PI) on the physical character, total polyphenols, anthocyanin profile and antioxidant activity of red cabbage. Different color and texture were observed after different processing methods. Total anthocyanin content was reduced by 73%, 72%, 41%, 16%, and 30% in FD, HD, WB, ST and PI processed red cabbage, respectively. PI samples showed the highest values of total polyphenols and DPPH scavenge activity among all the processed red cabbage. Both FD and HD samples had relatively low values of total polyphenols and DPPH scavenge activity. However, FD sample had the highest FRAP values. UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS analysis showed that fresh red cabbage contained 22 anthocyanins among which cyanidin-3-diglucoside-5-glucoside was the prominent. Compared with drying process, WB, ST and PI decreased the loss of most of the anthocyanin component in red cabbage. Correlation analysis indicated that antioxidant capacity as determined by DPPH of red cabbage was positively and significantly correlated with the total anthocyanins. This study suggested that drying induced significant loss of phytochemicals in red cabbage, and WB, ST, as well as PI were advisable ways for daily consumption of red cabbage considering the bioactive components. Especially, ST was the best way to retain anthocyanins in red cabbage.

Phenology, yield, and phytochemicals of Capsicum spp. in response to shading

Background: Capsicum spp. grow in environments with different incident radiation, that could modify the plant growth and the concentration of phytochemicals in fruits.
 Hypothesis: Shading positively affects phenology and fruit yield, decreases the total contents of phenols (TPC), flavonoids (FLV), proanthocyanidins (PAN) and carotenoids (CAT) in fruits of wild Capsicum species.
 Studied species: Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum: amashito (AMA) and garbanzo (GAR), and C. frutescens (Pico Paloma, PIP)
 Study site and dates: Huimanguillo, Tabasco, Mexico; 2020 and 2021.
 Methods: Seeds were treated with gibberellic acid (GA3) (500 mg L-1) for 24 h prior to seeding. The seedlings were transplanted in an open field and under two levels of shade (35 and 70 %) under a subsplit plot design with four replicates. TPC, FLV, PAN and CAT were determinate in immature and ripe fruits by UV-vis spectrophotometry.
 Results: Shade accelerated the phenological processes from the first bifurcation of the stem, and decreased the fruits ripening time from anthesis of the genotypes studied. Shade only increased the yield of the AMA genotype and reduced the contents of TPC, FLV, and CAT; however, these metabolites increased under open field conditions.
 Conclusions: The shade reduced the duration of phenological stages including the ripening period of fruits, and increased the plant height of the Capsicum spp. The increase in yield by shading effect only was observed in AMA genotype. The content of phytochemicals in Capsicum fruits is reduced by shading levels.

Prevention of Metabolic Syndrome by Phytochemicals and Vitamin D.

In recent years, attention has focused on the roles of phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables in maintaining and improving the intestinal environment and preventing metabolic syndrome. A high-fat and high-sugar diet, lack of exercise, and excess energy accumulation in the body can cause metabolic syndrome and induce obesity, diabetes, and disorders of the circulatory system and liver. Therefore, the prevention of metabolic syndrome is important. The current review shows that the simultaneous intake of phytochemicals contained in citruses and grapes together with vitamin D improves the state of gut microbiota and immunity, preventing metabolic syndrome and related diseases. Phytochemicals contained in citruses include polyphenols such as hesperidin, rutin, and naringin; those in grapes include quercetin, procyanidin, and oleanolic acid. The intake of these phytochemicals and vitamin D, along with prebiotics and probiotics, nurture good gut microbiota. In general, Firmicutes are obese-prone gut microbiota and Bacteroidetes are lean-prone gut microbiota; good gut microbiota nurture regulatory T cells, which suppress inflammatory responses and upregulate immunity. Maintaining good gut microbiota suppresses TNF-α, an inflammatory cytokine that is also considered to be a pathogenic contributor adipokine, and prevents chronic inflammation, thereby helping to prevent metabolic syndrome. Maintaining good gut microbiota also enhances adiponectin, a protector adipokine that prevents metabolic syndrome. For the prevention of metabolic syndrome and the reduction of various disease risks, the intake of phytochemicals and vitamin D will be important for human health in the future.

Fruits for Seizures? A Systematic Review on the Potential Anti-Convulsant Effects of Fruits and their Phytochemicals.

Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder. Current anti-convulsant drugs are only effective in about 70% of patients, while the rest remain drug-resistant. Thus, alternative methods have been explored to control seizures in these drug-resistant patients. One such method may be through the utilization of fruit phytochemicals. These phytochemicals have been reported to have beneficial properties such as anti-convulsant, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, some fruits may also elicit harmful effects. This review aims to summarize and elucidate the anti- or pro-convulsant effects of fruits used in relation to seizures in hopes of providing a good therapeutic reference to epileptic patients and their carers. Three databases, SCOPUS, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, were utilized for the literature search. Based on the PRISMA guidelines, a total of 40 articles were selected for critical appraisal in this review. Overall, the extracts and phytochemicals of fruits managed to effectively reduce seizure activities in various preclinical seizure models, acting mainly through the activation of the inhibitory neurotransmission and blocking the excitatory neurotransmission. Only star fruit has been identified as a pro-convulsant fruit due to its caramboxin and oxalate compounds. Future studies should focus more on utilizing these fruits as possible treatment strategies for epilepsy.

Phytochemical characterization of Morus nigra fruit ultrasound-assisted ethanolic extract for its cardioprotective potential.

The current work investigated the phytochemical profile of ultrasound-assisted ethanolic extract of Morus nigra (M.nigra) fruit. FTIR analysis of M.nigra fruit extract revealed the presence of alcohols (O-H), alkanes (C-H stretch), alkenes (C=C), and alkynes (C≡C). The HPLC analysis quantified the quercetin, gallic acid, vanillic acid, chlorogenic acid, syringic acid, cinnamic acid, sinapic acid, and kaempferol. Furthermore, the cardioprotective activity of ethanolic extract of M.nigra fruit was investigated. Cholesterol supplementation (2%) in the daily diet and exposure to cigarette smoke (2 cigarettes twice a day) were to induce hypertension in rats. The experimental animals were categorized into four groups: G0 (negative control), G1 (positive control), G2 (standard drug), and G3 (M.nigra fruit). The fruit extract administration at 300 mg/kg BW/day orally for 2 months significantly (p < .001) enhanced the activities of serum and cardiac tissue antioxidants in hypertensive rats. Meanwhile, the fruit extract reduced the elevated serum lipid profile while significantly increasing the high-density lipoproteins in G3 than G1 and G2. The increase in blood pressure, liver transaminases, and serum lactate dehydrogenase also reduced significantly in M.nigra fruit extract-treated rats. Histopathological findings revealed mild normalization of cardiac myocytes with central nuclei, branching, and cross-striations. Consequently, the M.nigra fruit extract exerted the cardioprotective potential via increasing the antioxidant enzymes and reducing the lipids, lactate dehydrogenase, liver transaminases, and blood pressure. The therapeutic potential of M.nigra fruit can be due to flavonols and phenolic acids. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The present work quantified the Morus nigra fruit phytochemicals and its significant role in reducing lipid markers and blood pressure and improving antioxidant status in rats fed a hypercholesterolemic diet and exposed to cigarette smoke. Conclusively, the inclusion of M.nigra fruit in daily diet could improve the cardiac health of the individuals. Furthermore, the therapeutic potential of M.nigra fruit and its isolated constituents in modulating the gene expression against cardiac problems can explore after clinical trials and standardization in higher animals.

Use of an edible coating containing galbanum gum and cumin essential oil for quality preservation in sweet cherries

SummaryNowadays, the use of natural compounds is considered as an effective strategy for maintaining the quality and heath promoting capacity of fresh products. Changes in quality parameters, main phenolics and antioxidants of sweet cherries in response to coating with a novel bioactive edible coating were studied. Fruit were treated with different concentrations of galbanum gum (GG), cumin essential oil (CEO) and CaCl2 (CA) and stored at 2 ± 1°C with 90–95% RH for 30 days plus 1 day at ambient condition, and were subjected to quality analysis. All phenolic constituents and antioxidants of fruit juice were substantially decreased during storage in control fruit and a bioactive coating containing 1 or 2% GG + 100 or 200 µL L−1 CEO + 1% CA maintained main fruit phytochemicals including phenolics, phenolic acids, flavonols, anti‐stress and antioxidant enzymes activities. The coating significantly (P ≤ 0.01) enhanced fruit total antioxidant activity, flavonoids and ferulic acid contents. The results showed that it is possible to enhance the sweet cherry fruit health‐promoting phytochemicals and shelf life by the use of a natural edible coating containing GG and CEO.

Mitigation of ribose and glyoxal induced glycation, AGEs formation and aggregation of human serum albumin by citrus fruit phytochemicals naringin and naringenin: An insight into their mechanism of action

Human serum albumin (HSA) being the most prevalent protein in the plasma is extremely vulnerable to glycation. Two flavonoids naringin and naringenin were tested for their effects on the glyoxal and ribose-induced glycation, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and fibril formation of HSA. The inhibition of the formation of AGEs in the presence of both flavonoids demonstrated their antiglycating properties. The presence of fibrillar aggregates in the glyoxal and ribose modified HSA were also decreased by naringin and naringenin. The explanation for naringenin's stronger antiglycating potential than naringin was further investigated by examining their interactions with HSA. H-bonding and other non-covalent interactions with flavonoids stabilize HSA. Interactions of lysine and arginine residues with flavonoids may prevent the residues from getting modified during glycation process. Naringenin bind to both subdomains IIA and IIIA of HSA, protecting more residues than naringin, which only binds to subdomain IIA, may describe the higher inhibitory activity of naringenin.

Antioxidants of Fruit Extracts as Antimicrobial Agents against Pathogenic Bacteria.

Fruit is an essential part of the human diet and is of great interest because of its richness in phytochemicals. Various fruit extracts from citrus, berries and pomegranates have been shown to possess a broad spectrum of medicinal properties. Fruit phytochemicals are of considerable interest because of their antioxidant properties involving different mechanisms of action, which can act against different pathogenic bacteria. The antioxidant capacity of fruit phytochemicals involves different kinds of reactions, such as radical scavenging and chelation or complexation of metal ions. The interaction between fruit phytochemicals and bacteria has different repercussions: it disrupts the cell envelope, disturbs cell–cell communication and gene regulation, and suppresses metabolic and enzymatic activities. Consequently, fruit phytochemicals can directly inhibit bacterial growth or act indirectly by modulating the expression of virulence factors, both of which reduce microbial pathogenicity. The aim of this review was to report our current knowledge on various fruit extracts and their major bioactive compounds, and determine the effectiveness of organic acids, terpenes, polyphenols, and other types of phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties as a source of antimicrobial agents.

Interaction between polyphenols and amyloids: from the view of prevention of protein misfolding disorders related diseases

Amyloid is the term usually used to describe a particular type of elongated, unbranched protein fibril with cross-<i>β</i>-sheet characteristics, formed through the ordered aggregation of peptides or denatured proteins. Amyloids show high association with many severe neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases. Unfortunately, there are still no effective medical treatments to cure these neurodegenerative diseases, including the failure of pharmaceutical approaches with amyloids as the targets. Polyphenols, the major phytochemicals in fruits, vegetables, tea and coffee have many beneficial functional properties, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Polyphenols can interact with proteins through non-covalent interactions, including hydrophobic interaction, hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction. Polyphenols can also covalently interact with proteins mainly via the interaction between quinones, the oxidized products of polyphenols, and the nucleophilic residues (thiol, amino, guanidine, or imidazole) in protein side chains or peptides. Evidence from previous studies have indicated that polyphenols could reduce amyloid-formation via inhibiting fibril aggregation or steering oligomer formation into unstructured, nontoxic pathways. This effect was realized mainly through: (1) preventing conformational changes of precursor native proteins into amyloidogenic forms, (2) inhibiting the conversion of amyloidogenic precursors to amyloid fibrils, or (3) disrupting preformed fibrils meanwhile destructing the aggregation conditions. These findings imply that polyphenols could play a vital role in inhibiting protein misfolding, which might be useful for the prevention of various neurodegenerative diseases.

The impact of 1‐MCP treatment and controlled atmosphere storage on the postharvest performance of four ( Chaenomeles japonica (Thunb.) Lindl. ex Spach) fruit cultivars

Japanese quince (JQ) shows climacteric behavior that is respiration takes place during ripening. Phytochemical processes during fruit storage cause changes in quality; thus, relevant storage conditions are to be identified to sustain fruit quality over the storage time. The present work aimed to evaluate the effect of 1-MCP treatment and controlled atmosphere (CA) storage on the quality of JQ fruit. Two experiments during the 2017 and 2018 seasons were carried out with four JQ cultivars. Better maintenance of fresh weight was observed in the case of CA storage, although the degree of effectiveness was cultivar and growing season dependent. The best preservation of JQ fruit phytochemicals, for example, total phenolics, proanthocyanidins, and vitamin C has been reached when the CA system was employed. In turn, no clear effect of either CA or 1-MCP on fruit soluble solids and total acids content was observed for JQ fruit after long-term storage. Practical application In recent years, there have been many studies centered on the evaluation of the chemical composition of Japanese quince (JQ) fruits revealing that these fruits are a good source of valuable compounds for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Currently, the fruit of JQ are processed for many food products, thus leading to the intensive diversification of planting areas. It is expected that the market share of JQ will increase double or triple in the future. To ensure the quality of JQ during storage, proper storage technology needs to be identified. Acquired data in this study are of potential interest to growers and industries dealing with JQ fruit processing and storage.
