Nutraceutical potential of these plants should be studied to enrich our knowledge, thus making them part of balanced diets. In view of this objective, three leafy vegetables were selected viz., Cassia tora (L.) Roxb., Acalypha fruiticosa Forssk. and Talinum portulacifolium (Forssk.) Asch. ex Schweinf. Phytochemical screening of the leaves collected from these plants was done in four solvents which revealed the presence of many secondary metabolites. Estimation of bioactive components revealed that the total phenolics (22.84 mgGAEg-1), flavonoids (4.60 mgQEg-1) and ascorbic acid (37.34 mg100g-1) were accounted highest in C. tora whereas lycopene (12.61 mg100g-1) and β-carotene (13.79 mg100g-1) in C. tora were on par with A. fruiticosa (12.45 mg100g-1 lycopene and 12.51 mg100g-1 β-carotene). Anthocyanin content was highest in T. portulacifolium (23.62 mg100g-1). The antioxidant activity was estimated using three assays and the maximum antioxidant activity was recorded in C. tora with lowest IC50 values of 431.94 µgmL-1, 30.58 µgmL-1 and 107.59 µgmL-1 in DPPH, FRAP and ABTS assays, respectively. Among the three wild edible plants, C. tora recorded the highest concentration of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity.","PeriodicalId":20092,"journal":{"name":"Plant Foods for Human Nutrition","volume":"80 1","pages":"24"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142910152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The repeated ingestion of fenugreek seed generated a significant rise (p < 0.05) of food and water consumption in diabetic rats as compared to the rats treated with distilled water. Furthermore, fenugreek seed extract caused a remarkable elevation of the body weights of diabetic rats in comparison with other groups. Additionally, chronic treatment of rats with fenugreek seed extract improved fasting blood sugar, total cholesterol and triglycerides levels in diabetic rats. Fenugreek seed extract has significant anti-diabetic activity by reducing the fasting blood sugar and ameliorating the lipid parameters of diabetic rats.

Fluorometric assays and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that the peptides disrupt bacterial membranes, with propidium iodide (PI) uptake reaching 72.34% in SA, calcein release of 98.27%, and N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine (NPN) uptake of 84.35% in EC. Increased membrane permeabilization was observed at concentrations above 5 mg/mL. SEM results further confirmed significant morphological changes, supporting the observed membrane damage. Additionally, the peptides showed intracellular activity by altering EC DNA mobility, suggesting a secondary antimicrobial mechanism through DNA interaction.

Our aim was to evaluate the effect of combined oral consumption of two dietary supplements based on chokeberry and tart cherry juices over a period of 32 days on cellulite reduction. Twenty women aged 21-49 with a cellulite grade of 1-2 according to the Nurnberger-Muller scale were participating in the study. Ultrasonography was applied to analyze the skin structure in addition to biochemical and anthropometric parameters, which were measured before starting the treatment and after 32 days. A reduction in the thickness of the dermis with subcutaneous fat tissue, subcutaneous fat tissue alone, epidermis, and dermis with epidermis (15.02, 14.34, 21.98, and 20.94%, respectively) was noticed, while the length of the fascicles was reduced by 35.93%. Out of 20 subjects, 11 (57.9%) had edema of the dermis at the beginning of the study, which was not recorded at the end of the study. Moreover, a statistically significant increase in the tissue doppler (TD) signals was recorded in all subjects treated with two dietary supplements, indicating a better blood supply. Changes in anthropometric and biochemical parameters were not recorded. Creatinine, urea, ALT, and AST values, as indicators of kidney and liver function, remained at normal reference levels, pointing out the product's safety. The positive effect of chokeberry and tart cherry juice-based dietary supplements consumption in cellulite condition could be connected with microcirculation improvements.","PeriodicalId":20092,"journal":{"name":"Plant Foods for Human Nutrition","volume":"80 1","pages":"21"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142896842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the objective was to add chia oil nanoemulsion prepared with chia mucilage, in total replacement of water and soybean oil in crackers, and to evaluate the physical-chemical, technological, and sensory properties. The cracker with chia oil nanoemulsion showed a 73.2% reduction in lipid content compared to the control cracker, and no difference in protein and fiber content. The developed cracker presented expansion, firmness, fracture, and luminosity factors as the control cracker. Regarding antioxidant activity, the cracker with nanoemulsion showed greater activity. Sensorially, the developed crackers did not show a significant difference in appearance, flavor, and texture from the control cracker, and the purchase intention was positive. Also, the developed crackers were healthier, with a lower total lipid content, and higher antioxidant activity.","PeriodicalId":20092,"journal":{"name":"Plant Foods for Human Nutrition","volume":"80 1","pages":"20"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142877623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two diets with different amino acid scores, a balanced one and an imbalanced one, were assessed for their effects on acute colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Pathological symptoms were evaluated by the disease activity index (DAI) and hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining, the expression of inflammatory factors and barrier proteins was determined via qPCR and western blotting, and the intestinal microbiota was examined via 16 S rRNA sequencing. The results indicated that the balanced vegetable protein diet (BVPD) relieved colitis by reducing the colonic histological score, inhibiting the expression of proinflammatory factors such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α and promoting the expression of tight junction proteins. Analysis of gut microbes revealed that the BVPD altered the structural composition of the intestinal flora in animals with DSS-induced colitis by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, etc.). In conclusion, a BVPD effectively relieves colitis and may be a promising adjuvant strategy for the treatment of IBD.","PeriodicalId":20092,"journal":{"name":"Plant Foods for Human Nutrition","volume":"80 1","pages":"19"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142872791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yerba mate (YM) emerges as a candidate to improve endothelial function, hemodynamics, and heart rate variability (HRV) due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, potentially decreasing cardiovascular risk. Therefore, studies are needed to assess the effect of YM ingestion on these parameters. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of acute ingestion of YM infusion (hot or cold) on endothelial function, hemodynamics, and HRV.Methods and results: In this crossover randomized clinical trial, 13 participants (18-40 years old) of both genders were evaluated under three conditions: control (water), cold YM infusion, and hot YM infusion. The primary outcome was endothelial function assessed through flow-mediated dilation (FMD), with the secondary outcomes including blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and HRV. Parameters were evaluated before and after intervention (40' and 80'). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed an intervention effect on FMD (%) (p < 0.05), with both cold and hot YM associated to higher FMD% compared to control, although no time or time*intervention effects were found. ANOVA also showed a time effect on BP, HR, and HRV time and frequency domains variables (p < 0.05), though no time*intervention or intervention effect was observed.Conclusion: We did not find acute effects of YM infusion on endothelial function, central hemodynamic, or autonomic parameters in healthy adults.
