The aim of this study was to evaluate whether dietary behaviours the Spanish adult population were changed during COVID-19 outbreak confinement. For that purpose, an online questionnaire, based on 44 items including socio-demographic data, Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) Adherence Screener (MEDAS) as a reference healthy diet, processed foods intake, changes in their usual food choices and weight gain distributed using social media snowball sampling. A total 7514 participants (37% aged below 35...
The growing global consumption of avocados, associated with contents including bioactive compounds numerous health-promoting properties, is producing a large amount agro wastes around the world. Different management approaches are available for recovery from as potential ingredients use in production functional foods and nutraceuticals. Lactic acid fermentation can be used to exploit nutritional add value wastes. In this study, fermentations lactic bacteria were carried out avocado leaves,...
Phenolic compounds are found in both free and bound forms cereals. The majority is the insoluble form, that is, to cell wall material, such as ferulic acid its derivatives. antioxidant properties of phenolic grains associated with health benefits grain products. extraction capacity several solvent mixtures, for extracting phenols from barley flours, possibility employing a rapid automated method were studied. yield each was evaluated by correlating spectrophotometric indices (absorption at...
Traditionally, pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) has been consumed as fresh fruit or juice. In this study, the main phenolic compounds of 12 varieties and 5 clones were determined by HPLC–DAD–ESI-MS. Two chromatographic methods with a fused-core C18 column classical HPLC system developed. Thirteen anthocyanins fourteen other in juices. As far we are concerned, new flavonol-glycoside, phellatin its isomer amurensin, tentatively identified for first time Total content ranged from 580.8 to...
Brewers' spent grain (BSG) is the major by-product of brewing industry which remain largely unutilized despite its nutritional quality. In this study, effects fermentation on BSG antioxidant potential were analyzed. A biotechnological protocol including use xylanase followed by with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lactobacillus plantarum) PU1, PRO17 and H46 was used. Bioprocessed exhibited enhanced potential, characterized high radical scavenging activity, long-term inhibition linoleic acid...
Pasta represents a dominant portion of the diet worldwide and its functionalization with high nutritional value ingredients, such as legumes, is most ideal solution to shape consumers behavior towards healthier food choices. Aiming at improving quality semolina pasta, semi-liquid dough Mediterranean black chickpea flour, fermented Lactiplantibacillus plantarum T0A10, was used substitution level 15% manufacture fortified pasta. Fermentation selected starter enabled release 20% bound phenolic...
A sonotrode ultrasound-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from olive leaves has been developed using a Box-Behnken design to optimize the effects solvent composition and ultrasound parameters. The determination single was performed by HPLC-MS highest recovery in total compounds, oleuropein hydroxytyrosol achieved EtOH/H2O (55:45, v/v), 8 min 100% amplitude. optimal conditions were applied on seven cultivars grown under same results compared with those found conventional ultrasonic...
The underexplored biodiversity of seaweeds has recently drawn great attention from researchers to find the bioactive compounds that might contribute growth blue economy. In this study, we aimed explore effect seasonal (from May September) on in vitro antioxidant (FRAP, DPPH, and ORAC) antimicrobial effects (MIC MBC) Cystoseira compressa collected Central Adriatic Sea. Algal were analyzed by UPLC-PDA-ESI-QTOF, TPC TTC determined. Fatty acids, among which oleic acid, palmitoleic palmitic acid...
A comprehensive characterization of the phytochemicals present in a blackberry fruit extract by HPLC-TOF-MS has been carried out. The main compounds were ursane-type terpenoids which, along with phenolic compounds, may be responsible for bioactivity extract. In vitro antioxidant capacity was assessed through Folin-Ciocalteu (31.05 ± 4.9 mg GAE/g d.w.), FRAP (637.8 3.2 μmol Fe2+/g DPPH (IC50 97.1 2.4 μg d.w./mL) and TEAC (576.6 8.3 TE/g d.w.) assays. Furthermore, exerted remarkable effects on...
Every year million tons of by-products and waste from olive orange processing are produced by agri-food industries, thus triggering environmental economic problems worldwide. From the perspective a circular economy model, leaves peels can be valorized in valuable products due to presence bioactive compounds such as polyphenols exhibiting beneficial effects on human health. The aqueous extracts rich phenolic were prepared ultrasound-assisted extraction. Both characterized terms yield...
Nowadays there is considerable interest in the consumption of alternative crops as potential recipes for gluten-free products production. Therefore, use buckwheat production pasta has been investigated present study. RP-HPLC-ESI-TOF-MS applied separation and characterization free bound phenolic compounds flour spaghetti. Thus, 32 24 spaghetti have characterized quantified. To authors' knowledge, protochatechuic-4-O-glucoside acid procyanidin A detected first time. The results demonstrated a...
