Anthocyanins are plant pigments responsible for the colors of many flowers, fruits and storage organs have roles in abiotic biotic stress resistance. polyphenols bioactive compounds plants including potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) which is most important non-cereal crop world, cultivated its tubers rich starch nutrients. The genetic regulation flavonoid biosynthetic pathway relatively well known leading to formation anthocyanins. However, our knowledge post-transcriptional anthocyanin...
Despite considerable research the evidence around antidiabetic properties of cinnamon remains equivocal, and this may be due to varietal differences which is an aspect that understudied. This study systematically compared anti-hyperglycaemic four major commercial types used world (Chinese; Cinnamomum cassia [CC], Indonesian; C. burmanii [IC], Vietnamese; loureirii [VC], Ceylon; zeylanicum [SC]). LC-MS analysis showed distinct diffrences in phytochemical profiles with SC showing lowest...
<italic>Ascophyllum nodosum</italic>, inhibited pancreatic lipase activity in an oil-based turbidimetric assay. Polyphenols were potent inhibitors but mixtures of polyphenols with polysaccharides also provided substantial inhibition at achievable doses.

This work aims to determine the effect of genotype x environment (GxE) interaction that influence blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) fruit quality. We applied metabolomics-driven analysis on fruits from four cultivars grown in contrasting European-locations over two seasons. By integrating metabolomics and sensory analysis, we also defined specific metabolic signatures associated with consumer acceptance. Our results showed rainfall is a crucial factor accumulation delphinidin-...
European black elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) is a popular way to treat common colds or influenza infections. Mechanistically, this might be due direct antiviral effect stimulatory on the immune system of host. Here, we evaluated modulatory effects derived water extract (EC15) and its polysaccharide enriched fractions (CPS, BOUND, UNBOUND) in comparison conventional alcoholic (EE25), regarding phenotypical functional properties dendritic cells (DCs), which are essential induce potent T cell...
With the growing global population and climate change, achieving food security is a pressing challenge. Vertical farming has potential to support local production security. As Total Controlled Environment Agriculture (TCEA) system, vertical employs LED lighting which offers opportunities modulate light spectrum intensity, thus can be used influence plant growth phytochemical composition, including antioxidants beneficial for human health. In this study, we investigated effect of four...
Abstract Background Antimicrobial drug resistance is a major public health threat that can render infections including wound and skin untreatable. The discovery of new antimicrobials critical. Approaches to discover novel antimicrobial therapies have included investigating the activity natural sources such as honey. In this study, anti-microbial chemical composition 12 honeys from Kazakhstan medical grade manuka honey were investigated. Methods Agar well diffusion broth culture assays used...
BACKGROUND: Berry pomaces obtained after commercial juice production contain phytochemicals which may find use as antioxidants, food additives and biomedical products. Oil extraction from seeds provides additional value but the availability of before oil is not well established. OBJECTIVE: This pilot study defines content composition raspberry black currant with water-ethanol mixes, also milling/ extraction. METHODS: The total phenol (TPC), anthocyanin (TAC) antioxidant extracts was...
Honey is known to have antimicrobial, immunomodulatory and wound healing properties. The biological properties of honey been attributed phytochemicals derived from their source plants research has focused on identifying the bioactive with therapeutic potential. In this study, we determined ability 5 honeys Kazakhstan manuka stimulate TNF-α TGF-β production by human keratinocytes. levels increased over time in treated untreated keratinocytes, whereas cells sugar solutions that matched those...
The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic control polyphenol accumulation in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L).The levels total anthocyanins and 37 individual metabolites were measured over three years a biparental mapping population. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for these traits mapped onto high-density SNP linkage map.At least one QTL detected each trait, with good consistency among years. On four groups (LG), there major QTLs affecting several metabolites. LG1, had large...
