A comprehensive profile of flavonoids in bergamot juice was obtained by a single DAD-ESI-LC-MS-MS course. Eight were found for the first time, five these are C-glucosides (lucenin-2, stellarin-2, isovitexin, scoparin, and orientin 4'-methyl ether), three O-glycosides (rhoifolin 4'-O-glucoside, chrysoeriol 7-O-neohesperidoside-4'-O-glucoside, 7-O-neohesperidoside). method is proposed to differentiate diosmetin derivatives, which often indistinguishable LC-MS-MS. In-depth knowledge flavonoid...
The qualitative and quantitative compositions of chinotto juice in two different maturation periods were determined via chromatographic separation extracted aliquots Citrus x myrtifolia Raf. by using reverse-phase LC-DAD-ESI-MS-MS. This provides a comprehensive evaluation 11 compounds (furanocoumarins flavonoids C- O-glycosides). Five furanocoumarins identified for the first time juice: C-glucosides (vicenin-2 lucenin-2 4'-methyl ether), O-glycosides (narirutin rhoifolin),...
Although the chemical composition and biological properties of some species genus Pistacia has been investigated, studies on hull essential oil vera L. variety Bronte (HEO) are currently lacking. In this work, we have carried out an in-depth phytochemical profile elucidation by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, evaluation antioxidant scavenging HEO, using several different in vitro methods, checking also its cytoprotective potential lymphocytes treated with tert-butyl...
A number of studies have demonstrated that consuming almonds increases satiety but does not result in weight gain, despite their high energy and lipid content. To understand the mechanism almond digestion, present study, we investigated bioaccessibility lipids from masticated during vitro simulated human determined associated changes cell-wall composition cellular microstructure. The influence processing on release was assessed by using natural raw (NA) roasted (RA). Masticated samples four...
High-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) coupled with electronspray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was used to detect the flavonoid profile in lemon juices obtained from main Sicilian cultivars (Femminello comune, Monachello, and Interdonato). Significant amounts of an unusual constituent were found juice above-mentioned together eriocitrin, hesperidin, diosmin. Following purification by preparative HPLC, structure assigned as 6,8-di-C-glucopyranosyldiosmetin means...
Abstract Phloretin and phlorizin are the two strong natural antioxidants whose biological pharmacological applications rapidly growing in different human pathological conditions. The neuroprotective activity of flavonoids has been analyzed on cell culture neuroblastoma cells. cells evaluated by testing vitality, mitochondrial transmembrane potential ROS production, antioxidant enzymes detection, activation caspase 3, DNA damage, protein carbonylation, lipid peroxidation, superoxide anion...
