Abstract
In this study, the flavonoids in Poncirus trifoliata fruit ethanol extract (PFE) were identified using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and their anti-inflammatory effects on Raw 264.7 cells were evaluated. The 40% ethanol extract showed highest concentrations of total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and flavonoids. In naringinase-treated PFE powder (NPFEP), poncirin decreased from 76.47 to 68.62 mg/g (13.20 mM), and isosakuranetin increased to 3.53 mg/g (12.33 mM). NPFEP demonstrated superior anti-inflammatory properties in Raw 264.7 cells compared to naringinase-untreated PFEP (UNPFEP), with decreased ROS production, lower inflammatory mediators (NO and PGE2), extracellular cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β), and downregulation of COX-2 and intracellular cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) gene expression. UPLC analysis of NPFEP identified four flavanones (poncirin, naringin, isosakuranetin, and naringenin), one chalcone (2',6'-dihydroxy-4-methoxychalcone-4'-O-neohesperid), and two triterpenes (cucurbitacin D and esculentic acid), which likely contribute to the observed anti-inflammatory effect.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
