Integrated testing strategies (ITS), as opposed to a single definitive test or fixed batteries of tests, are expected efficiently combine different information sources in quantifiable fashion satisfy an need, this case for regulatory safety assessments. With increasing awareness the limitations each individual tool and development highly targeted tests predictions, need combining pieces evidence increases. The discussions that took place during workshop, which brought together group experts...
Black rice can be defined as a natural functional food, due to its high content of antioxidant polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins and phenolic acids. The objective this study was assess the fate main compounds in cooked black through vitro digestion, defining both their soluble insoluble fractions at different digestive phases. digestion significantly impacted stability molecules, more specifically anthocyanins, which tend stable up gastric level then degrade during intestinal phase;...
Summary The content and composition of anthocyanins procyanidins in fermented cocoa beans (from different geographic origins: Ecuador, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Ghana Nigeria), roasted nibs, mass chocolate were determined, beside the determination total antiradical capacity. Concerning origin, processed products from Ecuador showed highest levels anthocyanins, followed by Nigeria Cameroon. Generally, as further processed, flavan‐3‐ols decreased. largest observed losses phenolics occurred during...
Abstract: Two morphologically different cultivars of Italian melons (Baggio and Giusto) were characterized considering samples harvested in times, at the beginning (BPP) end physiological plant production period (EPP). Proximate composition, protein, minerals, pH, phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, condensed tannins, flavonoids measured, showing a significant decrease EPP (phenolics, flavonoids); acid decreased Giusto cv, carotenoids Baggio cv. Mineral...
Summary This research consisted of the determination several phenolic compound and fatty acid contents grape seeds skins obtained from pomace PRE POST distillation. The quantification flavan‐3‐ol composition, mean degree polymerisation ( mDP ) condensed tannins estimation their antiradical activity have been also realised. distillation process applied did not seem to significantly affect distribution extracted oils. Conversely, both changed. Heating decreased seeds’ activity, while increased...
Strawberries and raspberries are susceptible to physiological biological damage. Due the consumer concern about using pesticides control fruit rot, recent attention has been drawn essential oils. Microbiological activity evaluations of different concentrations tested EOs (cinnamon, clove, bergamot, rosemary lemon; 10% DMSO-PBS solution was used as a diluent) against rot fungal strains fruit-born human pathogen (Escherichia coli) indicated that highest inhibition halos found for pure cinnamon...
There is a great interest in the potential health benefits of biologically active phenolic compounds cocoa (Theobroma cacao) and dark chocolate. We investigated anti-inflammatory clovamide (a N-phenylpropenoyl-L-amino acid amide present beans) two extracts from unroasted roasted beans, by evaluating superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) production, cytokine release, NF-κB activation human monocytes stimulated phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). The effects rosmarinic are shown for comparison....
Hazelnut skins are a good example of agro-food by-products, potentially source natural antioxidants and functional food ingredients, rich in polyphenols dietary fibre. The chemical characterization performed our study confirmed that fibre is the main component hazelnut skin. Moreover, four different polyphenols-rich extracts two fractions were obtained by processing skins. activity these was verified using them as ingredients media employed for growth probiotic strains (Lactobacillus...
Abstract: The polymeric proanthocyanidins (PAs) composition of skins and seeds from different Vitis vinifera L. cv. was evaluated, sampling 37 cultivar, preserved in the grapevine collection Grinzane Cavour (Piedmont, Italy). PAs were quantified using both spectrophotometric (n‐butanol vanillin assay) chromatographic (high‐performance liquid chromatography [HPLC]) methods, evaluation their antioxidant activity performed 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay. Results...
The objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and robustness three exposure-modelling tools [STOFFENMANAGER® v.6, European Centre for Ecotoxicology Toxicology Chemical Target Risk Assessment v.3.1 (ECETOC TRA v.3.1), Advanced REACH Tool (ART v.1.5)], by comparing available measured data exposure organic solvents pesticides in occupational scenarios (ESs).Model was evaluated predicted values, expressed as an underestimation or overestimation factor (PRED/EXP), regression analysis....
