BACKGROUND: The study of 15 pomegranate cultivars was carried out in order to demonstrate the wide diversity among quality Spanish pomegranates, and compared 'Wonderful' cultivars, which are used worldwide for industrial purposes. Juice yield, parameters, organic acids sugars, colour, vitamin C, ellagic acid, punicalagins, anthocyanins, total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, sensory properties were measured. RESULTS: A considerable variation found between pomegranates origin,...
The literature on the content and stability of vitamin C (ascorbic acid, AA) in citrus juices relation to industrial practices is reviewed. role from human diet also Citrus fruits are rich several types bioactive compounds. Their antioxidant activity related benefits derive not only but other phytochemicals, mainly flavonoids. During juice processing, temperature oxygen main factors responsible for losses. Nonthermal processed retain higher levels C, economic apparently delay use such...
Abstract Introduction – Cistaceae is a large family of shrubs widely spread over the Mediterranean area. It includes Helianthemum , Halimium and Cistus genus. genus contains approximately 20 species distributed in three subgenus. The essential oil has been thoroughly studied, but polyphenolic composition aerial parts different needs further characterisation. Objective To perform comparative analysis qualitative quantitative most commonly Spanish order to find relationship between chemotype...
Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) have gained attention as promising bioactive nutraceutical molecules; their presence in common fruit juices has increased significance because human interaction is inevitable. The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential PEVs derived from grapefruit and tomato functional ingredients, antioxidant compounds, delivery vehicles. were isolated using differential ultracentrifugation found be similar size morphology mammalian exosomes. yield...
This study involved the production of special fruit ale beers with different concentrations (100:0%, 75:25%, 50:50% and 25:75% v/v) barley malt persimmon juice from 'Rojo Brillante' variety. Fermentation took place under beer quality control parameters influence on was investigated. Colour, turbidity, pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, sugars, organic acids, phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity ethanol formation were determined during fermentation process. These beers, whose...
The use of green technologies such as ultrasound and natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) for revalorisation food agricultural by-products represents a sustainable way to tackle waste promote healthier environment while delivering much-needed functional ingredients an increasingly unhealthy population. processing persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) generates large amounts rich in fibre-bound bioactive phytochemicals. This paper assessed the extractability compounds through NADES properties...
The presence of stilbenes in wine is becoming an important issue due to their claimed relation a low incidence coronary diseases and increasing implication as cancer chemopreventive neuroprotective agents. Total resveratrol content, quantified glucoside aglycone forms resveratrol, has been determined survey 45 Monastrell monovarietal Spanish red types (around 135 samples), belonging Alicante Bullas appellations. average between ratio glucoside/aglycone these wines was considerably high,...
Background and Aims: Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) accounts for 70% of liver-related deaths in Europe, with no effective approved therapies. Although mitochondrial dysfunction is one the earliest manifestations alcohol-induced injury, restoring activity remains a problematic strategy due to oxidative stress. Here, we identify methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ) as mediator ALD progression hypothesize that targeting MCJ may help recovering fitness without collateral damage....
Abstract BACKGROUND: Chitosan (AC) and five hydroalcoholic extracts from Lithospermum erythrorhizon (SE), Rheum palmatum (RE), Thymus vulgaris (AT), Lippia citriodora (PLX) a mixture of Rosmarinus officinalis , Salvia lavandulifolia mastichina (LA) were tested for antimicrobial activity against bacteria, yeasts filamentous fungi using two broth dilution methods. The effects adding single on naturally occurring micro‐organisms sensory qualities raw tomato juice also evaluated. RESULTS: SE...
Plant polyphenols are a potential source of new antimicrobial molecules against bacteria because most newly developed agents do not improve the clinical management infectious diseases. The synergism between major polyphenolic compounds present in Cistus salviifolius extract, which was characterized by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS, investigated isobole method and fractional inhibitory concentration index determination. Pairwise combinations selected flavonoids ellagitannins C. extract were assayed vitro...
Three craft ale beers contained 5, 10 and 20 g/L Hibiscus sabdariffa L. aqueous powered extract (HS) were submitted to a forced aging process for 7 days at 45°C, the changes with time of physicochemical parameters, anthocyanins, total phenolic compounds (TPC) antioxidant activities (AOX) monitored. The determination individual characteristics HS beer after indicates that it was characterized by low pH browning index, slight red hue, high TPC content AOX. It becomes clear had noticeable...
In this study, an exhaustive analysis of the species Cannabis sativa L. was carried out, focusing on terpenoid and cannabinoid profiles inflorescences from five different varieties four intra-specific hybrids. addition, compositions seed oils these same were examined. Aromatic compounds analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GS-MS) while cannabinoids by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). Principal component (PCA) hierarchical...
