Mushrooms have been part of human diet for centuries. They possess great potential both nutrition and therapeutic use. Amongst bioactive constituents occurring in mushrooms, phenolic compounds focus much attention due to their antioxidant activity. The aim the present study was determine chemical composition wild growing edible mushrooms traditionally eaten Poland. For this purpose, LC-ESI-MS/MS spectrophotometric tests were used. Our findings revealed presence benzoic acid (protocatechuic,...

Rosa rugosa petals are used for production of teas, jams, wines and juices. Despite the wide availability rose cultivars, comprehensive information on petal chemical composition healthful properties is still lacking. Therefore, aim this study was analysis cytotoxic, antioxidant antimicrobial activity petals.Petals R. were evaluated their cytotoxic effect against cervical (HeLa) breast cancer (T47D) cell lines antiradical (with DPPH•). As a result, significant (up to 100% dead cells) (IC₅₀...

According to the vast body of evidence demonstrating that intestinal microbiota is undoubtedly linked with overall health, including cancer risk, searching for functional foods and novel prebiotic influencing on beneficial bacteria necessary. The present study aimed investigate potential polysaccharides from 53 wild-growing mushrooms stimulate growth Lactobacillus acidophilus rhamnosus determine digestibility polysaccharide fractions.Mushroom were precipitated ethanol aqueous extracts....

Abstract Rice/yellow pea flour blend (2/1 ratio) was used to produce gluten‐free precooked pasta using a single‐screw modified extrusion‐cooker TS‐45. The effect of moisture content (28%, 30%, and 32%) screw speed (60, 80, 100 rpm) on some quality parameters assessed. phenolic acids profile selected properties were tested, like pasting properties, water absorption capacity, cooking loss, texture characteristics, microstructure, sensory overall acceptability. Results indicated that dough...

The content of plant secondary metabolites is not stable, and factors such as the region/location effect seasonal variations have an impact on their chemical composition, especially in parasitic plants. Research this area important step development quality parameter standards medicinal plants finished products. effects time place harvest host tree species composition antioxidant activity mistletoe extracts were investigated. Statistical tools used to evaluate results spectrophotometric...

Antioxidant potential of Rosa L. leaves methanolic extracts was evaluated in vitro using a spectrophotometric method based on measuring the radical scavenging effect 2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. The contents ellagic acid, quercetin and kaempferol from seventeen rose species were determined SPE-RPHPLC methods. Additionally, total phenolic content spectrophotometrically according to Folin-Ciocalteu procedure calculated as gallic acid equivalents (GAE). Remarkable high...

A new, rapid, sensitive and selective liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) method was developed to determine the content of flavonoid aglycones phenolic acids in mistletoe berries (Viscum album L.) harvested from six different Polish host trees. Additionally, total (TPC) (TFC) as well an antioxidant antiproliferative activity were evaluated for first time. The plant material selectively extracted using ultrasound assisted maceration with...

In the present study, ergosterol peroxide and were isolated for first time from fresh fruit bodies of Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca (False Chanterelle). The substances characterized mainly by spectroscopic methods (¹H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, DEPT-45, DEPT-90, DEPT-135, 2D-NMR). our a new specific thin layer chromatographic method was developed determination in H. extract. is based on separation n-hexane extract silica gel (Silica Gel G) TLC plates using optimized solvent system toluene/ethyl acetate...

The cytotoxic and antioxidant properties of lipophilic compounds extracted from different parts four Chenopodium L. (Chenopodium album, hybridum, rubrum urbicum) species were evaluated. highest phenolic content was found in herb seeds all examined plants. Large amounts free polyphenols observed extracts C. album (3.36 mg/g DW), urbicum (3.87 DW) roots (1.52 DW). activities the assessed against human lung carcinoma A-549 ovarian TOV-112D normal fibroblast cell lines. Our study demonstrated...

Abstract The study was designed to determine the total phenolic, flavonoid, o-dihydroxyphenol, tannin, and carotenoid content as well antiradical, antitumor antimicrobial properties of two types galenic preparations from Rosa rugosa Thunb. Such extracts obtained various plant parts have not been studied date. Our findings revealed high antiradical activity examined preparations, with root, leaf flower (IC50 ranging 0.27 0.19 mg dry extract per DPPH·) showing greatest potential. MIC MBC...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence drying temperature on phenolic acids profile and antioxidant activity sprouts leaves red white Chenopodium quinoa (RQ WQ, respectively). Four-day dried at 30, 45, 60°C were tested. All contained significant amounts compounds; however, higher content determined in RQ sprouts. Phenolic compounds from WQ seem be thermostable studied range, whereas total phenolics decreased significantly after 60°C. Content vanillic p -coumaric did not differ...

Fast and reliable determination of polyphenols is a quite common goal during investigation new plant materials herbal products, their standardization, quality control, or chemo-taxonomical studies. The aim this study was to develop validate methods based on the application reversed phase liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) for comprehensive quantitative qualitative analysis phenolic acids...

Many plants that are commonly used in folk medicine have multidirectional biological properties confirmed by scientific research. One of them is Aerva lanata (L.) Juss. (F. Amaranthaceae). It widely used, but there very few data about its chemical composition and pharmacological activity. The aim the present study was to investigate phenolic acid (PA)-rich fractions isolated from methanolic extracts A. herb using liquid/liquid extraction method their potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate in vitro beneficial potential crude polysaccharides from S. crispa (CPS) one most common cancer types—colon cancer. determination chemical composition CPS has revealed that it contains mostly carbohydrates, while proteins or phenolics are only trace amounts. 1H NMR and GC–MS methods were used for structural analysis CPS.
