This study systematically evaluated the main bioactive compounds and associated biological properties of two Australian grown garlic cultivars commercial non-Australian (for comparison purposes only). Additionally, distribution in skin clove samples was determined to obtain a better understanding potential functionality different parts. The identification quantification performed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry photodiode array detection (UHPLC-PDA-MS)....
Pharmacokinetic parameters and the bioavailability of several dietary anthocyanins following consumption red wine grape juice were compared in nine healthy volunteers. They given a single oral dose either 400 mL (279.6 mg total anthocyanins) or (283.5 anthocyanins). Within 7 h, urinary excretion was 0.23 0.18% administered ingestion, respectively. derived from plasma urine concentrations exhibited higher variability after ingestion juice. Compared to anthocyanins, relative calculated be...
In a comparative study, 9 healthy volunteers ingested single oral dose of 400 mL red grape juice or wine with dose-adjusted anthocyanin content ( $283.5$ mg $279.6$ mg, resp.) in crossover. The glucosides was detected plasma and urinary excretion. Additionally, the plasmatic antioxidant activity assessed after intake. Based on content, biokinetic criteria anthocyanins were calculated, such as AUC, $\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{max}}$ , $\mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{max}}$ elimination rate $\mathrm{t}_{1/2}$ ....
Separately, polyphenols and plant cell walls (PCW) are important contributors to the health benefits associated with fruits vegetables. However, interactions PCW which occur either during food preparation or mastication may affect bioaccessibility hence bioavailability of polyphenols. Binding between anthocyanins, phenolic acids (PAs) components, were evaluated using both a bacterial cellulose–pectin model system black carrot puree system. The majority available bound material 60–70%...
The anti-thrombotic properties of an anthocyanin-rich Queen Garnet plum juice (QGPJ) and anthocyanin-free prune (PJ) were studied in this randomised, double-blind, crossover trial. Twenty-one healthy subjects (M = 10, F 11) consumed QGPJ, PJ or placebo, 200 mL/day for 28-days followed by a 2-week wash-out period. Only QGPJ supplementation inhibited platelet aggregation induced ADP (<5%, P 0.02), collagen (<2.7%, < 0.001) arachidonic acid (<4%, 0.001); reduced activation-dependent...
