Abstract The production of natural food pigments continues to grow worldwide. global market is expected at a compound annual growth rate 6.22%, by revenue, over the period 2015 2019. Pigments such as anthocyanins, carotenoids, betalains, and chlorophylls have been used color foods. However, there are challenges related losses during processing, storage, commercialization due low stability compared synthetic colorants. This review summarizes most recent studies patents aimed enhancing...

During gastrointestinal digestion or food processing of proteins, small peptides can be released and may act as regulatory compounds with hormone-like activities. Numerous biologically active (bioactive peptides) have been identified. Most bioactive are derived from milk dairy products, the most common being angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory peptides. Soybean protein soybean also play an important role in physiological activities, particularly those related to prevention chronic...

ABSTRACT: The consumption of energy drinks is rapidly increasing, as demonstrated by their large market growth. targeted demographic group teenagers, young adults, 18 to 34 y old; although expansion into nontraditional markets also occurring. It claimed that can offer an increased boost related ingredient profile caffeine, taurine, herbal extracts, and vitamins. Research suggests drink formulations, in addition increasing utilization, may improve mood, enhance physical endurance, reduce...

Amaranth seeds are rich in protein with a high nutritional value, but little is known about their bioactive compounds that could benefit health. The objectives of this research were to investigate the presence, characterization, and anticarcinogenic properties peptide lunasin amaranth seeds. Furthermore, predict identify other peptides seed potential biological activities. ELISA showed an average concentration 11.1 µg equivalent/g total extracted four genotypes mature Glutelin fraction had...

Aqueous extracts of the leaves Ardisia compressa (AC) have been used in folk medicine to treat various liver disorders including cancer. The objective this study was partially characterize and determine total polyphenol content, antioxidant capacity, quinone reductase activity A. tea comparison mate (Ilex paraguariensis, MT) green (Camellia sinensis, GT) teas. Total phase II enzyme induction capacity were measured by modified Folin-Ciocalteu, ORAC, (QR) assays, respectively. major...

Food allergy has become a public health problem that continues to challenge both the and food industry. The objective of this research was detection quantification major human allergenic soy proteins study reduction in immunoreactivity improvement amino acid content after fermentation soybean flour. Fermentation carried out solid state cracked seeds inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae, Rhizopus Bacillus subtilis liquid milled flours fermented naturally by microorganisms present only or...

Beneficial health effects of fruits and vegetables in the diet have been attributed to their high flavonoid content. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is a serine aminopeptidase that novel target for type 2 diabetes therapy due its incretin hormone regulatory effects. In this study, well-characterized anthocyanins (ANC) isolated from berry wine blends twenty-seven other phenolic compounds commonly present citrus, berry, grape, soybean, were individually investigated inhibitory on DPP-IV by...

Abstract Cereal grains, such as wheat, barley, rice, rye, oat, millet, sorghum, and corn, have been staples in human diets since ancient times. At present, there is a significant body of scientific evidence showing the health benefits consuming whole grains chronic disease prevention, particularly regards to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer. The objective was determine bioactive peptides cereal that may prevent cancer, inflammation, diabetes. Bioactive be obtained from were...

The berry fruits of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) contain bioactive compounds with potential health benefits. objective was to evaluate blueberries grown in southern Illinois as well the effect fermentation, at two different temperatures, on chemical and physical parameters. Fruits from fifteen cultivars were analyzed. Fruit diameter ranged 12.8 mm 18.7 mm, pH 2.6 3.7, reducing sugars 6.4% 15.2%, total 13.9% 21.6%, polyphenols 0.39 1.00 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g...

Interest in berries from South America has increased due to their potential health benefits. The objective of this study was characterize the anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins Vaccinium floribundum Aristotelia chilensis , total phenolics, antioxidant capacity evaluate, vitro, ability phenolic extracts reduce adipogenesis lipid accumulation 3T3-L1 adipocytes. anti-inflammatory property these on RAW 264.7 macrophages also investigated. Antioxidant capacity, measured as oxygen radical...
