This study evaluates the potential mechanism of action and bioactivity black tea pomace for type 2 diabetes prevention via inhibition carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes. Black leaves were extracted in hot water was 70% acetone. The phenolic content extract (WBT) acetone extracts (AOBT) 5.77 8.9 mg/mL, respectively, both based on same concentration solid extract. subjected to C18 extraction resulting hydrophobic fraction (HBBT) further LH-20 recover a low molecular weight enriched (LMW) high...
Spent yeast from beer manufacturing is a cost-effective and nutrient-rich starting material for the production of extracts. In this study, it shown how physiologically important ingredients in extract are influenced by composition spent brewing process. pilot fermentations, time cropping (primary fermentation, lagering) original gravity (12 ˚P, 16 20 ˚P) fermentation medium was varied, four alternative non-Saccharomyces strains were compared with two commercial Saccharomyces strains....
Folates play an important role in the human body and a deficiency of this vitamin can cause several diseases. Therefore, reliable analytical method is crucial for determination folate vitamers strawberries other dietary sources. A stable isotope dilution LC-MS/MS analyzing folates food was developed validated. The Pteroylmonoglutamic acid, tetrahydrofolate, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, 5-formyltetrahydrofolate were quantified using 13C-labeled internal standards. Validation assay accomplished...
A multitude of human nutritional supplements based on Chlorella vulgaris biomass has recently been introduced to the specialty food market. In this study, an analysis total folate contents in sp. and a series marine microalgae was conducted evaluate content alternative algae-based production strains. For first time, vitamer distribution were analyzed by stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) using LC-MS/MS, which demonstrated its superiority with respect quantification. Consistently, high...
Durian (Durio zibethinus) is a tropical fruit grown in Southeast Asia and highly appreciated by consumers throughout Asia. Folates are group of vitamins essential nutrients for humans. Here we present the folate analysis different durian cultivars as well diverse products. An LC-MS/MS method application stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) was used quantitation vitamers 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, 5-formyltetrahydrofolate, 10-formylfolate, tetrahydrofolate, pteroylmonoglutamic acid using...
As the popularity of tropical fruits has been increasing consistently during last few decades, nutritional and health-related data about these have gaining more interest. Therefore, we analyzed 35 samples vegetables with respect to folate content vitamer distribution in this study. The were selected by their availability German supermarkets grouped according plant family. All lyophilized stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). results vary...
Folates are a group of B
Folates play a key role in the prevention of neural tube defects newborns. Thus, it is important to reliably determine bioavailability folates from various foods. Accurate analytical methods are essential for quantifying blood-folates, especially human studies. Here, we present development and validation sensitive method using stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry determining plasma. Moreover, this study reports applicability developed pilot...
Yeasts are reported to be rich in folates, a group of vitamers known involved several biosynthetic reactions such as methylation reactions, oxidation and reduction processes, nucleotide synthesis. Not being able synthesize humans rely on external folate supply. Here, we show the application LC/MS-MS methods using SIDA (stable isotope dilution analysis) assays for quantitative analysis different mono- polyglutamates during growth Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Molecular networking (MN) was applied...
Folate, an important B-group vitamin, is considered a critical vitamin in many countries, with folate deficiency being associated neural tube defects newborns. Strawberries and avocados are healthy, tasty snack by consumers, may potentially be dietary source of natural folates, depending on variety growing environment. A selection Australian-grown strawberry varieties breeding lines, as well commercial avocado cultivars, were screened for their content vitamer profile stable isotope dilution...
