This study aimed to improve quality of pepper fruits (total polyphenols; chlorophyll A B; lycopene, β-carotene, tannins, ABTS, DPPH, protein 15N) using three hybrids—Kornelya F1, Kaptur F1 Napoca F1—four fertilization methods (chemical, organic, biologic unfertilized), two irrigation regimes (5200 7800 m3·ha−1,...

(1) Background: Carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) pulp is of great interest nowadays due to its nutritional benefits and diverse utilization in the food process. The antioxidant properties carob Mediterranean have been assessed several studies. Still, few studies combined, within same work, a comprehensive analysis chemical composition from fruits natural populations across different countries basin, while also incorporating new research areas. (2) Methods: In present we evaluated value,...

Dry-cured tuna products exhibit unique aroma characteristics appreciated by local consumers, particularly in the southern Iberian Peninsula. In present study, headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) was used to identify and quantify volatile organic compounds (VOCs), establishing a fingerprint of dry-cured throughout manufacturing process. Unsupervised (PCA) supervised (PLS-DA sPLS-DA) multivariate statistical methods were...

Diplotaxis tenuifolia, a species with high nutritional value, was recently introduced in Romania, being necessary in-depth research to develop an efficient cultivation technology maximize its agronomic and economic potential. Therefore, the aim of present study evaluate influence three mulch treatments, white polyethylene film (WLDPE), black (BLDPE) nonmulched (NM), along fertilization regimes, organic (OF), chemical (ChF) nonfertilized (NF), on Bologna perennial wall‒rocket cultivar from...

This study explored plasma levels and urinary fecal excretion of metabolites microbial-derived catabolites over a 24 h period following the ingestion red wine (RWP) or grape seed (GSP) proanthocyanidin-rich extracts by rats.

Mango (Mangifera indica L.), a fruit with sensorial attractiveness and extraordinary nutritional phytochemical composition, is one of the most consumed tropical varieties in world. A growing body evidence suggests that their bioactive composition differentiates them from other fruits, mango pulp being an especially rich diverse source polyphenols. In this study, polyphenols were submitted to vitro gastrointestinal digestion colonic fermentation, aliquots analyzed by HPLC-HRMS. The main...

Summary Carotenoids are a diverse group of pigments imparting red, orange, and yellow hues to many horticultural plants, also enhancing their nutritional properties health benefits. In strawberry, the genetic molecular mechanisms regulating natural variation fruit carotenoid composition remain largely unexplored. this study, we use population segregating in yellow/white flesh detect major quantitative trait locus (QTL), qYellow Flesh‐4B , located on chromosome 4B accounting for 82% total...

Oranges are a rich source of bioactive compounds with recognized benefits for human health. To guarantee high quality and production levels, citrus farms usually employ the combination selected cultivars well adapted rootstocks. This study analyzes impact four different rootstocks (Forner-Alcaide no.5, ‘Cleopatra mandarin’, Citrus volkameriana Carrizo citrange) on antioxidant activity two orange (‘Salustiana’ ‘Sanguinelli’) widely used in juice industry. For hydrophilic fraction, phenolic...

Numerous studies have reported health benefits associated with the consumption of fresh and black garlic, which are characterized by presence polyphenols organosulfur compounds (OS). This study aims to analyze bioaccessibility bioactive in garlic after vitro gastrointestinal digestion monitoring individual profile these ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS). Polyphenols decreased from beginning digestive process, is mainly...

Black carrot has been attracting increasing thanks to its high bioactive compound content. This study presents the polyphenol bio-accessibility of black and two derived products (black snack (BC snack) seasoning seasoning)) after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion colonic fermentation. Additionally, antioxidant activity was measured by 2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) oxygen radical absorbance capacity...

The genus Citrus amounts to one of the most relevant fruit crops in world. This work assays overall quality information order ascertain optimal harvest timing three late-season orange cultivars (‘Barberina’, ‘Valencia Midknight’ and Delta Seedless’) during two consecutive growing seasons. Thus, morphological physicochemical parameters, organic acids, polyphenolic content antioxidant activity (ABTS DPPH) were analyzed. ‘Barberina’ yielded highest (large heavy fruits, albeit with lower color...

In this study, in vitro cultures and micropropagated plants of two Mediterranean aromatic plants, Lavandula viridis L’Hér Thymus lotocephalus López Morales, were exposed to different temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30 °C). The effect temperature on the levels hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), lipid peroxidation, osmoprotectants (proline, soluble sugars, proteins), as well phenolic profile by HPLC-HRMS intermediates secondary metabolism (phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity shikimic acid content),...

The impact of drought stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) on morphological, physiological, (bio)chemical, and biological characteristics Thymus lotocephalus López Morales shoot cultures have been investigated, as well the potential iron oxide nanoparticles, salicylic acid, methyl jasmonate (MeJA) alleviating agents. Results showed that PEG caused oxidative in a dose-dependent manner, raising H2O2 levels reducing shoots' growth, photosynthetic pigment contents, phenolic compounds...

Abstract Pigments, mainly anthocyanins and carotenoids, are important contributors to fruits’ visual appearance nutritional properties. In strawberry ( Fragaria spp.), the genetic molecular mechanisms regulating fruit carotenoid biosynthesis its natural variation remain largely unexplored. this study, we sought identify genomic loci contributing in yellow flesh pigmentation. A major QTL, qYellow Flesh-4B , accounting for 82% of total phenotypic was identified on F . × ananassa chromosome 4B....
