The total antioxidant potential of a sample cannot be predicted from the activity its compounds; thus, scientists usually explain overall through their combined effects (synergistic, antagonistic, or additive). Phenolic compounds are one most powerful and widely investigated antioxidants, but there is lack information about molecular interactions. This study aimed to investigate individual equimolar mixtures (binary, ternary, quaternary, quinary) 10 phenolic acids (protocatechuic, gentisic,...
Summary Fish and fishery products (FFP) are considered nutraceutical foods that believed to improve human health. FFP highly prone deterioration due microorganisms, oxidation enzymatic spoilage. Hence, packaging in appropriate material has a pivotal role shelf‐life extension. Considering the non‐degradable nature toxicity issues associated with synthetic material, alternatives originating from natural sources have become popular. Chitosan gelatine known exhibit wide range of bioactivity...
The underexplored biodiversity of seaweeds has recently drawn great attention from researchers to find the bioactive compounds that might contribute growth blue economy. In this study, we aimed explore effect seasonal (from May September) on in vitro antioxidant (FRAP, DPPH, and ORAC) antimicrobial effects (MIC MBC) Cystoseira compressa collected Central Adriatic Sea. Algal were analyzed by UPLC-PDA-ESI-QTOF, TPC TTC determined. Fatty acids, among which oleic acid, palmitoleic palmitic acid...
Abstract The aim was to investigate the phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, and antibacterial activity of Dalmatian sage ( Salvia officinalis L.) leaves collected during different vegetation periods. Separation quantification individual phenols were performed by reversed‐phase (RP)‐HPLC coupled with a PDA (photodiode array) detector using an internal standard, while contents total phenols, flavonoids, flavones, flavonols determined spectrophotometrically. properties leaf extracts...
In this study, the effect of a four-stage chemical refining process (degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization) on quality parameters, fatty acid composition and volatile compounds crude oils produced from processing by-products farmed fish species (tuna, seabass gilthead seabream) was evaluated. The compared to commercially available cod liver oil basis free acid, peroxide value, p-anisidine, total oxidation (TOTOX), thiobarbituric reactive (TBARS), oxidative stability at 80, 100...
Marine algae are becoming an interesting source of biologically active compounds with a promising application as nutraceuticals, functional food ingredients, and therapeutic agents. The effect drying (freeze-drying, oven-drying, shade-drying) extraction methods (shaking at room temperature, shaking in incubator 60 °C, ultrasound-assisted (UAE), microwave-assisted (MAE)) on the total phenolics content (TPC), flavonoids (TFC), tannins (TTC), well antioxidant capacity water/ethanol extracts...
The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity individual phenolics and their binary mixtures with resveratrol against selected food-borne pathogens. quantified using broth microdilution method by determination minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Interactions between compounds in phenolic were determined calculating fractional concentration index (FICI). influence number OH groups phenols' structure on assessed principal component analysis (PCA). most effective...
Sardine (S) and sardine by‐product (SBP) oils are produced refined in the interest of grading potential by‐products as raw materials for production fish oil high both quality nutritional value. The compared throughout different stages refining terms free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide (PV), p ‐anisidine (pAV), total oxidation (TOTOX), thiobarbituric reactive species (TBARS), tocopherol content, profile, volatile components. results parameters FFA, PV, pAV, TOTOX, TBARS crude S determined 3.13%...
The phenolic extracts of fifteen Mediterranean medicinal plants, as well their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were investigated to grade potential additives in the food industry. Phenolic profiles plant determined spectrophotometrically (total phenolics subgroups) while individual compounds identified using chromatographic assays. biological activity samples was five assays, antibacterial against six foodborne pathogens (Camplyobacter coli, Escherichia Salmonela Infantis, Bacillus...
The aim of this study was to clarify the seasonal variation in proximate composition free amino acid (AA) and fatty (FA) profiles European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) from Adriatic Sea better understand nutritive value needed organize more effective industrial processing, aquaculture use ensure health benefits for consumers through available bioactive compounds such as omega-3 FA essential AA. lipid content ranged 1.18 10.58% during year, being highest July September.
