This study presents a review of the Folin–Ciocalteu (F–C) assay for total phenolic content (TPC) determinations and describes different approaches to improve its specificity. Phenolics are regarded as molecules with highest potential neutralize free radicals. Therefore, their quantification is common practice in areas food research. However, when determining TPC plant extracts, presence reducing interferants [ascorbic acid (AA)] produces inaccurate estimations values. Different methodologies...
Abstract Natural bioactive compounds include a broad diversity of structures and functionalities that provide an excellent pool molecules for the production nutraceuticals, functional foods, food additives. Some those can be found in nature at high concentration such as polyphenols but others only very low levels, so massive harvesting is needed to obtain sufficient amounts, their structural complexity make chemical synthesis unprofitable. The inherent difficulties screening producing these...
Abstract A supercritical CO 2 method was optimized to recover naringenin-rich extract from Mexican oregano ( Lippia graveolens ), a flavanone with high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. The effect of the extraction parameters like pressure, temperature, co-solvent on naringenin concentration evaluated. We used response surface methodology optimize oregano; chemical composition by UPLC-MS simulated gastrointestinal digestion its capacity total phenolic content were also optimum...
Moringa oleifera is a tree used as medicinal herb by several populations. Due to their curative and preventive properties, all parts have been studied, especially the leaves. They found act antithrombotic, antihypertensive, anticancer, immunomodulating, antioxidant agents. This study was aimed characterize evaluate anti-inflammation activities of leaves protein hydrolysate obtained in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The activity these peptides determined 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl...
Free and bound phenolics, antioxidant capacity anthocyanins content of five elite blue maize hybrids two native varieties grown in Mexico highlands were evaluated. Phenolic free fractions was found from 1037 to 1488 9064 11,987 mg gallic acid/kg, respectively. The phenolic fraction hybrid showed 3.7-fold higher hydrophilic than landrace counterparts. highest anthocyanin 503 × 67 (1052 Cy3Glu/kg), which represented 73.1% the phenolics. Results indicated that could be an important source...
