The comprehensive identification of phenolic compounds in food and beverages is a crucial starting point for assessing their biological, nutritional, technological properties. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) has been described as rich source (poly)phenolic components, with broad array different structures (phenolic acids, flavonoids, hydrolyzable tannins) quick, high throughput, accurate screening its complete profile still lacking. In the present work, method UHPLC separation linear ion...
Many in vitro studies demonstrated significant biological effects of trans-resveratrol. Thus, understanding the rate intestinal absorption and metabolization vivo trans-resveratrol is prerequisite to evaluate its potential health impact. Bioavailability mainly animals or humans using pure compound at very high doses were performed. In this work, bioavailability from a moderate consumption red wine 25 healthy has been studied by three different experiments. The ingestion was associated...
Although most rice cultivars have whitish kernel, some varieties a red testa. Aim of this work was to compare the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and chemical composition (namely tocols, gamma-oryzanols, polyphenols) white rices. In addition, effect milling cooking on antioxidants investigated in both Dehulled showed TAC more than three times greater dehulled its high essentially characterized by presence proanthocyanidins (PA) associated phenolics. Milling caused significant loss TAC, even...
A modified cyclodextrin containing a dansyldiethylenetriamine metal-binding group (6-deoxy-6-N-(N‘‘-dansyldiethylenetriamino)-β-cyclodextrin, CD-dien-DNS) was synthesized. The conformation of CD-dien-DNS studied by 2D NMR (ROESY spectra) in D2O, circular dichroism, and fluorescence. results were compared with those previously obtained the analogous 6-deoxy-6-N-(N‘-dansylethylenediamino)-β-cyclodextrin (CD-en-DNS) consistent self-inclusion dansyl within macrocycle cavity. However, orientation...
Fusarium mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by spp. in cereals. Among them, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN) widespread worldwide contaminants of cereal commodities ranked as the most important chronic dietary risk factors. Their conjugates, known masked mycotoxins, have been described but still not accounted for assessment studies. This study demonstrates first time that DON ZEN effectively deconjugated human colonic microbiota, releasing their toxic aglycones...
Background: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) exhibit a great biodiversity that can be exploited for different purposes, such as to enhance flavours or metabolize phenolic compounds. In the present study, use of dairy and plant-derived LAB strains perform cherry juice fermentation is reported. Methods: The growth ability Lactobacillus plantarum, casei, paracasei rhamnosus was studied in juice. Profiling sugars, organic acids volatile compounds performed by GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass...
Abstract All methods for assessing the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of food samples are strongly affected by solvents used during extraction. In recent years a sequential solvent extraction procedure utilising water and acetone has been widely TAC measurements foods. To better understand efficiency this in terms amount extracted antioxidants subsequent measurement TAC, two vegetables (onion spinach) fruits (orange tomato) were sequentially with water, chloroform. Each extract fraction...
Two selectors based on modified cyclodextrins containing a metal binding site and dansyl fluorophore-6-deoxy-6-N-(N(alpha)-[(5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl)aminoethyl]phenylalanylamino-beta-cyclodextrin-containing D-Phe (3) L-Phe (4) moieties were synthesized. The conformations of the two studied by circular dichroism, two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Cyclodextrin 4 was found to have predominant conformation in which group is self-included...
This study deals with the qualitative characterization of phenolic profile pomegranate juices obtained from ancient accessions. Composition data, together genetic, morphological, and agronomical parameters, may lead to a full such germplasm, aim its retrieval biodiversity valorization. Environmental adaptation, indeed, contribute an enrichment content in pomegranate, important effects on nutritional properties. More than 65 punicalagins, ellagic acid derivatives, flavonoids, anthocyanins,...
T-2 toxin is a trichothecene mycotoxin produced when Fusarium fungi infect grains, especially oats and wheat. Ingestion of contaminated grain can cause diarrhea, hemorrhaging, feed refusal in livestock. Cereal crops infected with mycotoxin-producing form glycosides, sometimes called masked mycotoxins, which are potential food safety concern because they not detectable by standard approaches may be converted back to the parent during digestion or processing. The work reported here addresses...
