Dietary flavonoids and allied phenolic compounds are thought to be beneficial in the control of diabetes its complications, because their ability inhibit oxidative stress, protein glycation act as neuroprotectants. Following ingestion by humans, polyphenolic entering large intestine undergo extensive metabolism interaction with colonic microbiota it is metabolites catabolites parent that enter circulatory system. The aim this study was investigate inhibitory activity some microbiota-derived...
With rapidly ageing populations, the world is experiencing unsustainable healthcare from chronic diseases such as metabolic, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and cancer disorders. Healthy diet lifestyle might contribute to prevent these potentially enhance health outcomes in patients during after therapy. Fermented dairy foods (FDFs) found their origin concurrently with human civilization for increasing milk shelf-life enhancing sensorial attributes. Although probiotic concept has been...
The ability of high molecular weight melanoidins extracted from coffee, barley and dark beer to inhibit lipid peroxidation during simulated gastric digestion turkey meat has been investigated. Results showed that decrease the synthesis hydroperoxides secondary lipoxidation products. Coffee at 3 mg/mL reversed reaction broke down concentrations lower than initial value. Barley coffee were less effective, even 12 did not reverse reaction. proposed mechanism action involved Fe2+ chelating...
The bioactive chemical constituents of water and ethanol extracts Euphorbia hirta L. leaves have been identified quantified using an un-targeted mass spectrometric approach. study allowed the tentative identification 123 individual phenolic compounds 18 non-phenolic phytochemicals, most them described in for first time. Gallotannins, hydroxybenzoic hydroxycinnamic acids were abundant classes leaves, representing together 71.5% (26.3%, 25.2% 20%, respectively) total amount phenolics. main...
Pomegranate extract was tested for its ability to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase activity. strongly inhibited rat intestinal in vitro whereas it a weak inhibitor of porcine α-amylase. The inhibitory activity recovered an ellagitannins-enriched fraction punicalagin, punicalin, ellagic acid were identified as inhibitors (IC50 140.2, 191.4, 380.9 μmol/L, respectively). Kinetic analysis suggested that the pomegranate ellagitannins mixed mode. demonstrated using digestion system, mimicking...
Proteins from hemp bran (HPB), a byproduct of the seed food-processing chain, were chemically extracted, hydrolyzed by Alcalase, and separated membrane ultrafiltration into four fractions (MW <1, 1–3, 3–5, >5 kDa). The antioxidant antihypertensive properties initial extract evaluated in vitro assays for their ability to scavenge radical species, bind with metal ions, reduce ferric inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity. Bioactive peptides identified high-resolution mass...
Our study investigated the chemical, microbiological, and bioactive peptide profiles of Asiago Protected Designation Origin (PDO) cheese from two dairies (Dairy I II) produced over consecutive days (batches) analysed during three months ripening. The effect different starter cultures was evaluated. microbiome varied between batches, with curds post-salting dominated by culture-associated genera. During ripening, there an increasing trend in Lactobacillus genus, especially for Dairy I, which...
Several recent published studies reported that cheese consumption may protect against the onset of cardiovascular diseases and type-2 diabetes due to presence bioactive peptides. In present work, six varieties (the Egyptian traditional cheeses Karish, Domiati Ras as well Feta-type, Gouda Edam cheeses) were characterized for their peptidomics profiles with high-resolution mass spectrometry, biological activities content in The highest ACE-inhibitory DPP-IV-inhibitory found cheese, which also...
Abstract In the current trend where plant‐based foods are preferred over animal‐based foods, pulses represent an alternative source of protein but also bioactive peptides (BPs). We investigated pattern hydrolysis during fermentation red lentils isolate (RLPI) with various lactic acid bacteria and yeast strains. Hanseniaspora uvarum SY1 Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis E10 were most proteolytic microorganisms. H. led to highest antiradical, angiotensin‐converting enzyme‐inhibitory...
The effect of some polyphenols (resveratrol, catechin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, and quercetin) beverages (red wine green tea) on the enzymatic activity pepsin during digestion three different substrates (pork meat, insoluble azocasein, denatured hemoglobin) has been investigated. tested increase initial velocity reaction, activating is concentration dependent. order effectiveness in increasing reaction resveratrol > or = quercetin epigallocatechin-3-gallate catechin. kinetic data obtained...
