Common hop (Humulus lupulus L.) has significant health-promoting properties. Hop cones contain resins, essential oils, proteins, polyphenols, lipids, waxes, and cellulose. extracts include bioactive compounds such as polyphenolic (phenolic acids, flavonols), chlorophylls. The aim of this study was to compare the pro-health potential cone obtained from three cultivars (Magnum, Lubelski, Marynka). results showed that Magnum cultivar demonstrated highest biological activity. sum phenolic acids...
White mulberry tree (Morus alba L) is cultivated throughout Asia and Europe, including Poland. The leaves root bark preparations from Morus have been used in traditional phytomedicine. objective of the present study was to compare chemical composition antioxidative activity aqueous extracts prepared Polish variety at laboratory (L) pilot plant scale (PP) conditions. Proximate composition, phenolic acids profile (HPLC/MS), flavonol glicosides (HPLC/ MS), polyphenols (Folin-Ciocalteu assay),...
This study evaluated the effect of adding a new step, termed conditioning, to traditional processing leaves from Morus alba var. zolwinska wielkolistna grown in Poland (WML-P). modeled on tea processing, was conducted controlled environment semi-technical scale. The primary goal evaluate WML-P conditioning for 1–4 h at 32–35 °C content bioactive compounds (total phenolics, phenolic acids, flavonols, 1-deoxynojirimycin) and antioxidant activity (radical scavenging against DPPH, capacity,...
The European market offers a variety of functional foods targeted at prediabetic and diabetic patients, with different approaches to reducing postprandial glucose levels. utilization white black mulberry in new products could be an area interest many conscious consumers. study aimed design novel form (dried) easy-to-prepare product by applying nutritious various proportions creating aesthetically appealing smoothie distinctive taste profile. Such was obtained utilizing the freeze-drying...
Since ancient times, fruits and edible plants have played a special role in the human diet for enhancing health maintaining youthfulness. The aim of our work was to determine interactions between naringin, natural ingredient grapefruits, DNA using an electrochemical biosensor. Electrochemical methods allow analyzing damages occurring structure nucleic acids their with xenobiotics. Our study showed that changes location signals intensity resulted from structural alterations DNA. signal...
ABSTRACT: The white mulberry leaves are typically available on the market in dried or encapsulated form. It was assumed study that appropriate drying of is significant for obtaining intermediate products with high content compounds having anti-oxidative activity. purpose to determine influence temperature air phenolic acids and flavonols. has been determined these depended temperature. Drying at 60 °C favored release flavonols from complexes and/or formation new compounds. Their total 22%...
The leaves of white mulberry (Morus alba L.) contain various polyphenolic compounds possessing strong antioxidant activity and anticancer potential. This study was designed to investigate the chemopreventive effect aqueous extract against N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)-induced liver carcinogenesis.Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control, extract-treated, NDEA-treated, plus NDEA-treated. Mulberry given in diet (1,000 mg/kg b.w./day); NDEA drinking water.Mulberry reduced incidence...
The aim of the study is to explore possibility vegetables being used as carriers thiamine. influence carrier type (thiamine hydrochloride—TCh and thiamine pyrophosphate—TP) for stability were investigated. Two varieties pumpkin, Muscat Hokkaido, well Cauliflower Broccoli, a matrix applied. impregnated freeze-dried stored (230 days) with changing access light (access restriction light) temperature (21 °C 40 °C). analyzed also in production gnocchi dumplings. content was using thiochromium...
Abstract From the nutritional perspective, main direction of utilization white mulberry ( Morus alba L.) parts so far has been to produce dietary supplements or functional foods for individuals with diabetes over-weight. Its leaves are widely known as a valuable source bioactive compounds responsible its antioxidant and antidiabetic effects, both in animals humans. The authors found that processed can also be investigated potential bitter and/or sweet taste modulators—an important property...
This study aimed to investigate the use of selected pumpkin varieties as carriers potassium iodide (KI) and iodate (KIO
Fluorescent submicron particles of fluorinated methacrylate (HFMBA) with long-term stability have been synthesized and characterized regard to their potential applications. Rhodamine B (RBITC) isothiocyanate was used as the fluorescent component. The core–shell structure effectively protected dye against bleaching. HFBMA nanoparticle (NP) confirmed after seven years storage. Only slight differences were found in polydispersity index (pdi) from 0.002 0.010. Particle size measurements carried...
Background. Confectionery products are easily available and very popular but their nutritional value depends on composition. Using palm oil hydrogenated fats in the production process leads to a high content of saturated fatty acids (SFA) trans (TFA) product. The aim study was evaluate fat acid profile including confectionery Polish market. Material methods. 27 divided into four groups were subjected an analysis: chocolate-coated wafers with filling (nine), without chocolate coat (seven),...
Abstract Food can be a source of valuable peptides with high bioactivity, which regulate the functioning cardiovascular and nervous systems. The aim study was to evaluate possibility usage ricotta after hydrolysis obtain innovative chocolate desserts. It shown that whey proteins in had insignificant effect on texture indices products, except gumminess, as it declined 16% samples 7% case dessert samples. Confirmed affected activity prepared desserts respect cholinesterases...
Abstract From the nutritional point, main direction for white mulberry ( Morus alba L.) elements utilization so far is to create dietary supplements or functional foods diabetics over-weight patients. Leaves are widely known as a valuable source of bioactive compounds responsible its antioxidant and antidiabetic effects, both in animals humans. We found that processed leaves can be also considered bitter and/or sweet taste modulators – important aspect designing new foods. The aim study was...
The application of Morus alba L. in traditional oriental medicine and cuisine has resulted numerous studies on its health-promoting effects. However, if the process is not monitored by manufacturers, processing leaves alters obtained properties results different health qualities final composition dietary supplements. This article aims to analyze changes (using HPLC/DAD method) proposed conditioned mulberry terms key compounds (phenolic acids flavonols) responsible for antioxidant activity...
Nutritionists found beans still rarely consumed in Western diet, despite its high nutritional value was proven and recommended by authorities. The study aimed to propose a simple effective way of manufacturing new common bean-based product targeted diabetics. key components, including important protein (common beans) antidiabetic (white mulberry) sources, were carefully selected due their properties. formulated underwent extensive analysis: composition, sensory structure attributes,...
