Two varieties of Mirabelle plum fruits (yellow and red) were harvested in 2 places in the North of Poland - Lubawa and Debiniec - that varied in soil quality. Fruit peel and flesh were separated and tested individually. The composition of phenolic compounds was characterized using HPLC-DAD-MS, total antioxidant activity was assessed by spectrophotometric tests (ABTS, DPPH, FC). Antioxidant profiles were obtained using TLC and HPLC with post-column derivatization. All considered factors turned out to have strong impact on composition of phenolic compounds as well as on antioxidant activity. The highest content of phenolic compounds was observed in red Mirabelle plum peel from Debiniec (29.8 mg/g d.w.). Peels showed three to ten times higher content of phenolic compounds than pulp from corresponding fruits. Red fruits showed higher antioxidant activity than yellow fruits, because of their anthocyanins content. Both red and yellow varieties harvested in Debiniec turned out to be richer source of phenolic compounds than the same varieties harvested from Lubawa.","PeriodicalId":17323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Society of Antioxidants in Nutrition & Health","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86588575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alas, one well-known disadvantage of the drugs and extracts based on natural products is their potential variability, which may make any of their effects irreproducible or unreliable. We demonstrate this variability on the preparations based on the sea-buckthorn (Hippopae rhamnoides), which is a rather popular source of unsatorated fatty acids, rich in vitamins, containing also a plethora of polyphenolics and other potentially biologically active coumpounds. Analytical data from literature and from various commercially available preparates of „oil from berries“ were compared. Both the macroscopic parameters of the preparations, and the details of their composition vary rather widely, reflecting not only biological (and geographic) variablity of the species, but possibly also the influence of the used extraction method and of the final adjustment in the commercial preparate. This variablity is reflected also in the differing stability during storage and it may quite strongly influence the potential biological effects and benefits connected with the use ot the sea-buckthorn-based nutraceuticals.","PeriodicalId":17323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Society of Antioxidants in Nutrition & Health","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87557093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, investigations on anthocyanin-rich extracts and single constituents are of great interest. We investigated a blackberry extract, containing a spectrum of anthocyanins, in comparison to two sub-fractions comprising cyanidin-3-(6''-dioxalylglucoside and cyanidin-3-(malonylglucoside), respectively, regarding their impact on inflammation-related cytokine expression and secretion in human macrophages. Relative gene transcription and secretion of IL-6 and TNF-alpha were measured using quantitative real time PCR and human cytokine bead-based multiplex immunoassay, respectively. Human THP-1 monocytes were differentiated with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate into macrophages which were pre-incubated with physiologically relevant concentrations of blackberry extract or single compounds. Subsequent stimulation with lipopolysaccharides from E.coli induced gene transcription and cytokine release mimicking the inflammatory response. Cyanidin-3-(malonylglucoside) had no impact on LPS-induced IL6 and TNF-alpha expression. In contrast, the blackberry extract and cyanidin-3-(6''-dioxalylglucoside) caused further stimulatory effects for the transcription and secretion of IL-6 at higher concentrations ≥0.05 µg/ml. The secretion of TNF-alpha was increased as well by both, yet with no impact on the transcript level after 3 h of incubation. The results clearly show that single as well as combinatory effects might be of relevance for the immune-stimulatory impact of the blackberry extract.","PeriodicalId":17323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Society of Antioxidants in Nutrition & Health","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75899945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability and bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds and the changes on the antioxidant activity of enriched ice cream during gastrointestinal digestion. CBS flour was added to ice cream at different concentration (2%, 4%, 6% and 8%) and the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoids, tannins and radical scavenging activity (DPPH) were evaluated during in vitro digestion at different steps of digestion (oral, gastric and duodenal). After in vitro digestion total flavonoids and tannins increase slightly and TPC increase up to 50% compared to control before digestion. The radical scavenging activity of ice cream containing cocoa bean shell increases up to 25% compared to ice cream before digestion. The results suggested that CBS may be a promising functional ingredient to producing highly nutritive value ice cream minimizing the volume of agro-industrial wastes.","PeriodicalId":17323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Society of Antioxidants in Nutrition & Health","volume":"3 1","pages":"75-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85238383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, food processing has a profound effect on these phytochemicals, with the further loss of most of their beneficial properties. For this reason, five flavonoids (catechin, rutin, hesperidin, quercetin and apigenin) were analyzed by HPLC in accordance to Kelebek et al. (2015) in a fruit juice-stevia beverage before and after pulsed electric fields (PEF), high voltage electical discharges (HVED) and ultrasounds (USN) treatments at two equivalent energy inputs. Catechin and hesperidin were the mayor phenolic compounds. For this two flavonoids, along with quercetin, PEF and USN treatments resulted in a significant increase compared to untreated beverage. By contrast, rutin decreased after PEF, HVED and USN treatment. The highest decrease was obtained when the beverage was treated by HVED at 256 kJ/kg. Apigenin content was far much lower in the USN treated beverage, as this compound may be severely affected by the cavitation phenomena. Results obtained highlight that individual flavonoids undergo different changes immediately after HVED, PEF and USN treatments, whereas others remain unchanged or are even enhanced.","PeriodicalId":17323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Society of Antioxidants in Nutrition & Health","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84446574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aimed to investigate the protective effect of the association of wine polyphenols, vitamin E and zinc on muscular fatigue and damages on human skeletal muscle cells (HSMC) challenged with A23187 calcium ionophore, mimicking a physical exercise (patent application filed). Fatigue and damages were monitored by quantifying release of lactate and IL-6, and activity of creatine kinase. A23187 significantly increased the release of lactate and IL-6 and decreased the intracellular activity of creatine kinase in HSMC. The association of wine polyphenols, vitamin E and zinc was able to significantly protect the cells against the effects of A23187, in a higher way than the ingredients alone. The study demonstrated the ability of the association of wine polyphenols, vitamin E and zinc to protect muscles against fatigue and damages. Consequently it could contribute to the optimization of performance and recovery during physical exercise.","PeriodicalId":17323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the International Society of Antioxidants in Nutrition & Health","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78983457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
