Endophytes are microorganisms that reside asymptomatically in the tissues of higher plants and a promising source novel organic natural metabolites exhibiting variety biological activities. The laboratory Bioaromas (Unicamp, Brazil) develops research biotransformation processes functional evaluation products. With intent to provide subsidies for studies on endophytic microbes related areas cited before, this paper focuses particularly role endophytes production anticancer, antimicrobial,...
The objective of this study was to chemically and nutritionally characterize the commercial chia seeds oil from Chile investigate their antioxidant potential by different in vitro methods. seed presented a good source protein (25.32 g/100 g), (30.22 g) total dietary fiber (37.50 with predominant insoluble (35.07 g). main fatty acids, ranked order abundance, were α-linolenic acid > linoleic palmitic ∼ oleic stearic acid. triacylglycerols (TAG) identified direct mass spectrometry using easy...
This paper reports on the anthocyanin and antioxidant contents, an 'in vitro' antiproliferative vivo' mutagenic/antimutagenic activities of freeze-dried jaboticaba peel (JP). According to proximate composition, JP showed a high dietary fiber content. The identification quantification anthocyanins was carried out by HPLC-PDA LC–MS/MS, which revealed presence two compounds: delphinidin 3-glucoside cyanidin (634.75 1963.57 mg 100 g− 1 d. w., respectively). strong potential: 25,514.24 ± 3037 μM...
The consumption of chia seeds products has increased recently and it been suggested that the inclusion this functional food in a daily human diet could contribute to improve consumers' health. However, better knowledge about composition these is mandatory. In work, phenolic compounds from commercial samples seed, fiber flour oil were extracted using an ultrasound-assisted methodology separated identified by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometer. Methanol:water...
The effect of the intake freeze-dried jaboticaba peel powder on antioxidant potential rats' blood plasma was investigated in two experiments. In first, 35 male rats, divided into 5 groups, received 7 mg anthocyanins/100 g body weight, by gavage. withdrawn 0, 30, 60, and 120 min after capacity evaluated ORAC TEAC. There no significant difference plasmatic among groups. second experiment, 40 rats were 4 groups that consumed, respectively, 1, 2, 4% added to their diet. An increase observed for...
Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis), including its leaves, is a rich source of bioactive compounds, as polyphenols. This study investigated the in vitro and vivo antioxidant potential aqueous extract P. edulis leaves identification phenolic compounds by HPLC-PDA ESI-MS/MS analysis. Male Wistar rats were divided two groups (n = 6 per group). Control group received water experimental leaf (Tea) (1.1 mg dry mL− 1), both ad libitum. Total phenols (DPPH, FRAP, ABTS ORAC assay) determined extract....
Jaboticaba peel powder (JPP) digestion was investigated for the first time using an in vitro static model of gastrointestinal associated with a colonic fermentation assay human feces to elucidate catabolism and bioaccessibility fruit polyphenols. Anthocyanins had low (0.08–2.3%). Most hydrolyzable tannins (1.2–166.0%) flavonols (0–36.8%) greater than anthocyanins. Despite their (0.08–2.3%), anthocyanins were most abundant polyphenols JPP bioaccessible intestinal fraction followed by tannins....
Jaboticaba, a polyphenol-rich fruit, has numerous nutraceutical properties. Studies on jaboticaba composition have focused solvent-extractable polyphenol compounds, whereas the matrix-bound polyphenols that can be delivered during digestion been neglected. This study aimed to characterize profiling of and free phenolic compounds in Jaboticaba peel powder (JPP) using two fruit species, Myrciaria (JPP-MJ) M. trunciflora (JPP-MT). An HPLC-DAD-MS/MS method was developed validated analyze JPP...
The bioactive compounds of freeze-dried jaboticaba peel (FJP), serum lipids and the antioxidant status rats fed high-fat diets containing different doses FJP were evaluated. Obesity was induced three groups obese animals received diet with 1%, 2% 4% added (J1, J2 J4, respectively). HPLC–DAD analyses polyphenols in showed four compounds: gallic acid, cyanidin 3-glucoside, ellagic quercetin. saturated fatty acids reduced J1 J4-fed animals. defenses plasma increased All prevented lipid...
