The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and polyphenol (TP) content of a beetroot juice shot (70 mL) was examined following in vitro digestion. TAC assessed using the ferric reducing power (FRAP) assay TP measured Folin Ciocalteu (FC) method (measured as gallic acid equivalents (GAE) before after an digestion procedure with simulated gastric (GAS) duodenal (DUO) phases. had high (697.9 ± 1.6 μmol/70 (68.4 0.3 mg GAE/70 mL). FRAP values increased approximately 3-fold GAS (2361.2 20.9 remained...
Summary Fruit juice is known to be rich in a variety of antioxidants, which may have protective effects against certain diseases. The objective the present study was analyse total antioxidant capacity twenty‐five commercially available juices [via ferric‐ion reducing power (FRAP) and 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)] determine stability after an vitro digestion procedure. All analysed were significant source antioxidants however there wide variation between different types (1405–10232...
Produce rich in phytochemicals may alter postprandial glucose and insulin responses by interacting with the pathways that regulate uptake secretion humans. The aims of present study were to assess phytochemical constituents red beetroot juice measure elicited either 225 ml (BEET), a control beverage matched for macronutrient content (MCON) or healthy adults. Beetroot was particularly source betalain degradation compounds. orange/yellow pigment neobetanin measured high quantities (providing...
This study investigated the impact of a polyphenol-rich seaweed extract on postprandial glycaemia in healthy adults, and, as secondary outcome, influence ethnicity these outcomes. Thirty-eight volunteers (26 non-Asian, 12 Asian) aged 19 to 56 years participated this double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised cross-over trial. Participants each consumed low (500 mg), and high (2000 mg) dose brown (Fucus vesiculosus) extract, well cellulose placebo 30 min prior 50 g available carbohydrate...
