The aim of the present work is characterization biscuit doughs enriched with pomegranate peel powder (PPP) at 3 (PPP3) and 5 (PPP5) wt% in prospect developing a fortified aliment as support therapy chronic inflammatory diseases intestinal tract. total phenolic content was preliminarily evaluated. Then, main compounds PPP were identified by HPLC-ESI-TOF-MS analysis, being mainly hydrolysable tannins. then treated 180 °C for 20 min to mimic baking treatment, its water-soluble fraction (PPPwsf)...
Mitochondria are the major source of intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and play an essential role in a plethora physiological functions, including regulating metabolism maintaining cellular homeostasis. Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with onset several cardiovascular diseases and, although approaches currently exist to counteract it, no treatment using mitochondria as therapeutic target exists date. Recently, mitochondrial transplantation (MT) has been identified potential...

Abstract Xyloglucan (XG) is a cellulosic backbone polysaccharide commercially used for food applications, but also widely investigated in biomedical its gelling properties and specific biological activity. In this study, the possibility of using gamma radiation to cleave XG generate lower molecular weight variants was explored. The impact absorbed dose irradiation conditions on distribution investigated. Two other polysaccharides, hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) an oxidized variant (CXG), were...
The aim of this work is the evaluation addition Moringa leaf powder (MLP) in cookies terms antioxidant properties, dough processability and sensorial properties cookies. total content biophenols flavonoids MLP was detected identification bioactive molecules performed by HPLC-ESI-TOF-MS measurements, before after oven treatment at 180 °C for 20 min. After a preliminary water soluble fraction (MLPsf) cytotoxicity, its protective effect against an oxidative injury induced SH-SY5Y cells...
