The consumption of chia seeds products has increased recently and it been suggested that the inclusion this functional food in a daily human diet could contribute to improve consumers' health. However, better knowledge about composition these is mandatory. In work, phenolic compounds from commercial samples seed, fiber flour oil were extracted using an ultrasound-assisted methodology separated identified by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometer. Methanol:water...
Extracts rich in monomeric anthocyanins (MAC) and total phenolic compounds (TPC) were obtained from grape marc by Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE). PLE was performed using ethanol water mixtures (acidified or not) (50% w/w), pure acidified at temperatures 40 to 100 °C. The best conditions for MAC extraction (ethanol-water pH 2.0 [50% w/w]) resulted 10.21 mg of malvidin-3-O-glucoside/g dried (dr). Fifteen identified quantified extracts UHPLC-UV-Vis. with ethanol-water w/w) as solvent °C...
Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis), including its leaves, is a rich source of bioactive compounds, as polyphenols. This study investigated the in vitro and vivo antioxidant potential aqueous extract P. edulis leaves identification phenolic compounds by HPLC-PDA ESI-MS/MS analysis. Male Wistar rats were divided two groups (n = 6 per group). Control group received water experimental leaf (Tea) (1.1 mg dry mL− 1), both ad libitum. Total phenols (DPPH, FRAP, ABTS ORAC assay) determined extract....
The bioactive compounds of freeze-dried jaboticaba peel (FJP), serum lipids and the antioxidant status rats fed high-fat diets containing different doses FJP were evaluated. Obesity was induced three groups obese animals received diet with 1%, 2% 4% added (J1, J2 J4, respectively). HPLC–DAD analyses polyphenols in showed four compounds: gallic acid, cyanidin 3-glucoside, ellagic quercetin. saturated fatty acids reduced J1 J4-fed animals. defenses plasma increased All prevented lipid...
The probiotics can be useful to improve the immune response in experimental challenges, like exhausting exercise, that cause immunosuppression. We have evaluated a probiotic yogurt and whey beverage using an physical-exercise protocol with rats. Wistar rats were given daily 4-mL supplement of each type conventional or beverage, manufactured lactic culture Streptococcus thermophilus TA040 Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB340, acidophilus LA 14 Bifidobacterium longum BL 05. effects on system...
Inflammatory bowel diseases are characterized by impaired intestinal barrier function. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of grape peel powder (GPP) and its bioactive rich-fractions on function colonic injury in a model colitis induced 2,4,6 trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). Wistar rats received diets supplemented with either GPP (8%), extractable polyphenols (EP), non-extractable polyphenols-rich fraction (NEP-F), or polyphenols-poor, fiber-rich (F) from grapes at amounts...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect carotenoids intake Scenedesmus obliquus, on lipid peroxidation, endogenous antioxidant defense system as well serum profile in vivo. Male mice were divided into control groups and supplemented with different doses microalgae carotenoids: 0.25 (MC1) 2.5 (MC2) mg·kg-1 bodyweight. (total cholesterol, triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein) markers hepatic toxicity determined samples. Antioxidant enzymes thiobarbituric acid reactive...
Copaifera langsdorffii (copaiba) is a Brazilian exotic fruit, poorly studied regarding its bioactive composition. The aim of this study was to determine compounds, antioxidant and antimutagenic activities copaiba pulp. samples were extracted with different solvents in order analyze polyphenol compounds (Folin Ciocalteau HPLC–DAD), total flavonoids (reaction AlCl3) capacity (FRAP, ORAC, DPPH). fruit showed high content capacity. Phenolic such as gallic acid, epicatechin gallate, catechin,...
Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) peel, a waste from food industrial processing, is still little explored. It contains fibers, including soluble which may be substrate for enteric bacteria and contribute to maintaining bowel health. The purpose of this work was investigate the action P. edulis peel in microbiota, production short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), antioxidant potential colon Wistar rats. Seventy-seven-day-old male rats were divided into two groups: Peel Control (n = 4). Both groups...
