The use of microalgae as a food source is still poorly developed because the technical difficulties related to their cultivation and limited knowledge about chemical composition nutritional value. unicellular red microalga Galdieria sulphuraria has very high daily productivity its under acidic conditions avoided any bacterial contamination. G. can be cultured autotrophic heterotrophic conditions: in this study screening 43 strains showed that latter case duplication biomass production was...

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L. Family Cannabaceae) contains a vast number of bioactive relevant compounds, namely polyphenols including flavonoids, phenolic acids, phenol amides, and lignanamides, well known for their therapeutic properties. Nowadays, many polyphenols-containing products made herbal extracts are marketed, claiming to exert health-promoting effects. In this context, industrial inflorescence may represent an innovative source compounds be used in nutraceutical...

Selenium (Se) is considered essential for human nutrition as it involved in the metabolic pathway of selenoproteins and relevant biological functions. Microgreens, defined tender immature greens, constitute an emerging functional food characterized by overall higher levels phytonutrients than their mature counterparts. The nutraceutical value microgreens can be further improved through Se biofortification, delivering Se-enriched foods potentially enhanced content bioactive compounds. current...

The present study examined the modulatory effects of natural fiber substrates (agave fiber, coconut and peat moss) synthetic alternatives (capillary mat cellulose sponge) on nutritive phytochemical composition select microgreens species (coriander, kohlrabi pak choi) grown in a controlled environment. Polyphenols were analyzed by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS, major carotenoids HPLC-DAD, macro-minerals ion chromatography. Microgreens moss had outstanding fresh dry yield but low matter content....

In recent years, the exploration of therapeutic potential Salvia has gained considerable attention, leading to a growing number scientific studies emphasizing its pharmacological properties. Despite this, applications remain underexploited, requiring further investigation. Iran is major center for sage diversity in Asia, boasting 60 species, 17 which are unique area. This study aimed comprehensively explore and compare extracts 102 samples belonging 20 distinct species from Iran, providing...

Apple is among the most consumed fruits worldwide. It available on market for whole year being a major source of dietary polyphenols. Several studies suggested that apple polyphenols could play role in prevention degenarative diseases. The action these compounds has been partially ascribed to their antioxidative ability, and fruit antioxidants profile influenced by variety postharvest storage. In this work, composition flesh four varieties cultivated southern Italy were investigated HPLC,...

The Mediterranean diet is rich in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and associated with a lower incidence of colorectal cancer. EVOO contains phenolic extracts potential anticarcinogenic activity. Aim : To assess the anticancer properties using vitro models. Methods Phenolic profiles two different EVOOs (A B) were determined. RKO HCT116 (both p53 proficient), SW480 (p53 mutant) p53−/− knocked out) cell lines treated assessed for viability. Apoptosis was determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl...

Advanced analytical data on microgreens' response to different light spectra constitutes a valuable resource for designing future crop-specific spectral management systems. The current study defined variation in productivity, nutritive and functional quality (mineral-carotenoid-polyphenolic profiles antioxidant capacity) of novel microgreens (amaranth, cress, mizuna, purslane) select bandwidths (red, blue, blue-red) appraised clustering patterns configured by the genotype-light-spectrum...

This study aimed at elucidating the influence of food matrix on release antioxidant activity from five plant foods (apple, spinach, walnut, red bean, and whole wheat). To this purpose a protocol based sequential enzymatic digestion was adopted. The total capacity (TAC) both solubilized insoluble materials measured each step. Results showed that overall TAC obtained by enzyme treatments usually higher than chemical extraction-based methods. In apple most released upon water washing after...

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) has been used since ancient times in traditional medicine, while nowadays various rosemary formulations are increasingly exploited by alternative medicine to cure or prevent a wide range of health disorders. Rosemary's bioproperties have prompted scientific investigation, which allowed us ascertain antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cytostatic, and cytotoxic activities crude extracts pure components. Although there is growing body experimental work,...

Characterizing germplasm collections of autochthonous cultivars for fruit quality traits could be a successful approach selection, improvement organoleptic and levels antioxidants crop produce, development new market opportunities coherent strategies conservation valorization.

Rising life expectancy and the demanding modern lifestyle drive growing appeal of healthy balanced diets centered on vegetable fruit consumption. Functional, phytonutrient-packed principally raw food is in high demand. Microgreens constitute such a novel functional that combines sensory bioactive value, which invites comparison to their mature-leaf counterparts. For this purpose, controlled environment chamber experiment was carried out compare mineral, phytochemical antioxidant capacity...

Coffee silverskin (CS), the main by-product in coffee industry, contains a vast number of human health-related compounds, which may justify its exploitation as functional food ingredient.
