Berries are considered an ideal source of polyphenols, especially from the flavonoid group. In this study, we examined content in 16 varieties Swedish lingonberry, raspberry, blueberry, and strawberry. Nineteen flavonoids were simultaneously quantified using external standards. An additional 29 tentatively identified MS as no standards available. Quantification was done HPLC-UV after optimization chromatographic extraction procedures. The method showed high linearity within range 2–100 μg/mL...
The health benefits of bean consumption are widely recognized and largely attributed to the dietary fiber content. This study investigated compared effects whole brown beans an isolated fraction on plasma lipid profile, atherosclerotic plaque amount, gut microbiota, microbiota-dependent metabolites (cecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) methylamines) in Apoe−/− mice fed high fat diets for 10.5 weeks. results showed that both had a tendency lower but not concentration. diet led significantly...
Pulses are an important crop for the human diet. The aim of this work was to characterize phenolic compounds (flavonoids and acids) in common Swedish dried pulses investigate retention distribution during hydrothermal treatment processes, including soaking, draining, boiling. An ultrasound-assisted extraction method optimized flavonoid extraction. raw cooked pulses, processing (soaking boiling) water were analyzed using HPLC-UV/MS. Optimized conditions flavonoids were: 70 % methanol, pH 2,...
It has not been clarified whether the anti-atherosclerotic effect of lingonberry can be ascribed to its content flavonoids or dietary fibre both. The aim this study was evaluate metabolic effects whole lingonberries compared with isolated flavonoid and fractions on atherosclerotic plaques, plasma lipid profiles, gut microbiota microbiota-dependent metabolites in an Apoe-/- mouse model. Mice fed showed lowest amount while mice fraction had highest formation caecal butyric acid. Flavonoids,...
