Resveratrol and oxyresveratrol are natural polyphenolic stilbenes with several important pharmacological activities. However, low solubility aqueous instability the major limitations in their drug delivery applications. In present work, we demonstrated encapsulation of resveratrol nanosponge to improve stability. Several characterization techniques were used confirm both molecules within nanosponges. The high efficiency (77.73%) (80.33%) was achieved Transmission electron microscopy...
Polyphenol content, free radical scavenging capacity, and changes during storage over 7 months in the dark were studied ecological conventional red white wines. In wines, most changeable components anthocyanins since content decreased 88% wine 91% wine. Initially, total flavonol contents of wines 163.88 +/- 2.69 153.58 1.71 mg/L, respectively, no significant variations occurred storage. No differences hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives between observed. The level was very low, as expected...
Consumers demand organic products because they believe are more flavorful and respectful to the environment human health. The effects of conventional, integrated, farming, grown in a controlled greenhouse, on color, minerals, carotenoids sweet pepper fruits ( Capsicum annuum), cv. Almuden, were studied. Experimental results proved that farming provided peppers with highest (a) intensities red yellow colors, (b) contents (c) total carotenoids. Integrated presented intermediate values quality...
Whether or not (E)-resveratrol can be used as a functional ingredient in foods depends on its structure at different concentrations and pH values. For this reason, the aggregation state of acidic basic is investigated here for first time. The data show that forms aggregates above certain critical concentration, concentration lower acid (12.5 μM 5.5) than values (37 10.5). Moreover, although several papers have focused effect protonation biological activity, concerning dissociation constants...
Forest species ranges are confined by environmental limitations such as cold stress. The natural range shifts of pine forests due to climate change and proactive-assisted population migration may each be constrained the ability tolerate low temperatures, especially in northern latitudes or high altitudes. aim this study is characterize response cold-tolerant versus cold-sensitive Pinus halepensis (P. halepensis) seedlings at physiological molecular level under controlled conditions identify...
The equilibria of linoleic acid (LA)-cyclodextrin (CD) complexes were studied to investigate the behaviour ‘soluble lipids’ in solution as a function factors that typically affect biochemical processes, such pH, temperature and CD structure. above are formed with stoicheiometry 1:2 solution. first molecule interacts LA through hydrogen bonds when pH is below fatty pK; hydrophobic interactions may also play an important role at high pH. second makes only contact hydrocarbon chain. formation...
In this work, an in-depth study of the interaction between piceatannol (a type stilbene with high biological activity) and different natural modified cyclodextrins (CDs) is made, using steady state fluorescence. This bioactive molecule forms a 1 : complex all (α-CD, β-CD γ-CD) (HP-β-CD, HE-β-CD M-β-CD) CDs tested. Among CDs, was most efficient. However, showed higher encapsulation constants (KF) than β-CD, except M-β-CD; highest KF being found for HP-β-CD (14 048 ± 702 M(-1)). The in...
Drought is one of the main constraints determining forest species growth, survival and productivity, therefore limitations for reforestation or afforestation. The aim this study to characterize drought response at physiological molecular level different Pinus halepensis (common name Aleppo pine) seed sources, previously characterized in field trials as drought-sensitive drought-tolerant. This approach aims identify traits capable predicting ability formerly uncharacterized seedlings cope...
Abstract Neochlorogenic acid, a less-studied isomer of chlorogenic has been seen to posses antioxidant, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic effects, which makes it an interesting candidate for incorporation in functional foods. However, its poor solubility water susceptibility oxidation make such task difficult. To overcome that, encapsulation cyclodextrins (CDs) is proposed. The fluorescence neochlorogenic acid different pH conditions was analyzed, caffeic proved be the...
Although cyclodextrins (CDs) have been successfully used as antibrowning agents in different fruit juices, no research has studied the effect of these compounds on enzymatic browning peach juice. In this paper, color fresh juice was evaluated presence two types natural (α-CD and β-CD) a modified (maltosyl-β-CD) CD, effectiveness inhibitors determined using space CIELAB system. Moreover, to clarify mechanism by which CDs inhibit browning, process kinetically modeled absence colorimetric...
