Chemical profile and antioxidant activity of Gynura bicolor DC. ethanolic extract

Gynura bicolor DC. (G. bicolor) is a popular vegetable consumed in many Asian countries. In this study, chemical profile and antioxidant activity of G. bicolor ethanolic extract were studied. The extraction conditions were optimized and the total phenolic content of G. bicolor was determined as 10.38 mg of gallic acid equivalents per gram of dry matter. Twenty three compounds were identified in G. bicolor by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS analysis. Among them, 14 phenolic compounds, including ninepolyphenols and five flavonoids were found. 3-O- and 5-O-p-coumaroylquinic acid were the most abundant phenolic compounds in the vegetable. The ethanolic extract of G. bicolor showed appreciable antioxidant activity as analyzed by radical scavenging and reduce power tests.     

In vitro antioxidant and antiproliferative activity of three rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) extract formulations

Antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of three rosemary extract formulations (VivOX 20, VivOX 40 and Inolens 50) with different contents of carnosic acid, carnosol and methylcarnosol were tested in vitro. Electron spin resonance measurements revealed that Inolens 50 extract that contained highest amount of carnosic acid was the most potent scavenger of hydroxyl (concentration of extract where 50% of its maximal scavenging activity is observed, that is, EC₅₀, 109.54 μg mL^?1), superoxide anion (EC₅₀ = 7.94 μg mL^?1) and 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (EC₅₀ = 27.4 μg mL^?1)‐free radicals. Comparison of the radar charts of standard antioxidants and rosemary extracts showed similarity between antioxidant characteristics of Inolens 50 and chlorogenic and caffeic acids. Tested rosemary extracts exhibited significant (P ≤ 0.01) antiproliferative effect in cervix epitheloid carcinoma (HeLa), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7) and colon adenocarcinoma (HT‐29) cell lines. In both MCF7 and HeLa cell lines, the extracts yielded very low IC₅₀ values (concentration of extract needed to inhibit cell growth by 50%), the most pronounced being for Inolens 50 in MCF7 (IC₅₀ = 9.95 μg mL^?1) and VivOX 20 in HeLa cell line (IC₅₀ = 10.02 μg mL^?1). The obtained results may provide support for the use of tested rosemary extracts as nutraceuticals and phytopharmaceuticals.     

Total phenolic contents and antioxidant activity of corn tassel extracts

Ground corn tassels, a by-product of corn, were used as a source of phenolic compounds. Water, ethanol, methanol, acetone, hexane, chloroform, butanol, petroleum ether and methylene chloride were evaluated as different polarity solvents to extract these phenolic compounds. Ethanol exhibited the highest extraction ability for such phenolic compounds, followed by methanol and water, where the total phenols were 0.1575%, 0.1125% and 0.0737%, respectively. Antioxidant activity of corn tassels ranged from 83.0% to 85.2%, 69.9% to 83.7%, 69.8% to 80.4%, 22.2% to 49.1% and 14.8% to 19.3% radical scavenging activity (% RSA) for ethanol, methanol, acetone, butanol and water extracts, respectively. The ethanolic extract of the corn tassels was successfully utilised to retard the oxidation of sunflower oil and the obtained induction period values were comparable to those of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ).     

Effect of germination on vitamin C,phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is well known for its health benefits and chemical composition. This study aimed to evaluate the dynamic changes caused by germination in vitamin C, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities of flaxseed. It was observed that eight‐day germination of flaxseed sprouts caused increases in phytochemical contents, that is 22.1‐fold increase in vitamin C, 2.67‐fold increase in phenolics and 5.48‐fold increase in flavonoid contents as compare to initial concentration in flaxseeds on dry weight basis. The stimulation was also noted in the three identified phenolic acid ingredients including caffeic acid, p‐coumaric acid and ferulic acid. Similarly, the total PSC and ORAC values of flax sprouts at day 8 increased by 3‐ to 4‐folds compared to nongerminated flaxseeds. It is revealed that comparatively, 8‐day germination of flax sprouts leads to a significant increase in vitamin C, phenolic constituents and total antioxidant activities than those of flaxseeds.     

Spray drying of the soybean extract: Effects on chemical properties and antioxidant activity

Recent findings that many human chronic diseases are associated with oxidative stresses have instigated the search for dietary antioxidants. Isoflavones, a special phenolic group found in soybean, have been found to act as antioxidant in some model systems. The aim of this work was the evaluation the effects of spray drying on the chemical and biological properties of soybean extract. The total polyphenol contents in the concentrated soybean extract (CSE) and spray dried soybean extract (SDSE) were determined by Folin-Ciocalteau method and HPLC was utilized for the quantification of the genistein, active compound used as a chemical marker. The evaluation of antioxidant activity of CSE and SDSE was assessed by the hydrogen-donor ability to 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH). The results indicated that the inlet gas temperature showed significant effect on the total polyphenol, protein and genistein contents of the dried extracts. The SDSE obtained this work showed high antioxidant activity, opening perspectives for its use as food additive and/or ingredient.

Phenolic profile and antioxidant properties of Polish honeys

The phenolic components of honeys have great participation in their nutritional value and antioxidant activity. Moreover, phenolic components are promising markers for the determination of botanical and geographical origin of honey. The purpose of the present work was to study the antioxidant activity and profiles of phenolic acids and flavonoids of honeys of various origins. The total phenolic content of honeys varied from 4.46 to 15.04 mg of gallic acid equivalents per 100 g of product and the total phenolic acid content determined chromatographically varied from 201.05 to 2089.08 μg per 100 g of product. Buckwheat honey exhibited the highest antioxidant activity and contained the highest total phenolic amount, whereas rape honey exhibited the lowest values in this respect. Moreover, the buckwheat honey contained the highest amount of phenolic acids. There were significant linear correlations between total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of honey extracts in the reaction with DPPH^? (1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS^{? +} (2,2′‐azinobis‐(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid)) free radicals. In most samples, p‐coumaric acid was the dominant phenolic acid (39.1–677.2 μg per 100 g). The honeys also contained considerable amount of gallic acid (6.0–913.8 μg per 100 g). Among flavonoids naringenin was predominant in the most studied honey samples.

Phenolic composition,colour, antioxidant activity and mineral profile of Cabernet Sauvignon wines

Phenolic compounds and mineral content constitute important quality parameters of wines. It is probably during ageing, that the greatest number of polymerisation and condensation reactions occurs, notably modifying the composition of the wine. The aim of this study was to characterise Cabernet Sauvignon wines of different vintages from two regions in Santa Catarina State, Brazil. It was not possible to clearly observe an evolution of the phenolic content and colour parameters in the different vintages of the wines. The ABTS method gave higher antioxidant value than DPPH, which showed higher correlation with total polyphenols. Principal components analysis showed differences between the wines, especially in relation to vintage. Also, the study allowed a clear separation of wines in relation to place of vineyards in terms of mineral composition.

Quality of wheat bread enriched with onion extract and polyphenols content and antioxidant activity changes during bread storage

We determined the effect of onion skin extract (OE) on the quality of wheat bread: contents of total polyphenols and flavonols, antioxidative activity and their changes during storage. With increasing doses of OE to bread, contents of total polyphenols and flavonols and the antioxidative activity were observed to increase. A higher total flavonol content was found in bread with 1% OE stored at 24 °C than in bread stored at 4 °C. There was no such relationship in the bread with 0.5% OE. Changes in flavonols content during storage for 72 h were insignificant. No clear trends of change in the antioxidant activity could be found at storage of breads. The addition of OE caused no changes in the yield and volume of bread and contributed to a decreasing value of L* parameter and to increasing values of ΔE, a* and b* parameters of bread crumb colour. Consumers accepted the smell and taste of bread with the addition of OE to a lesser extent than the control bread. Bread with 1% OE the taste was rated very low. Consumers rated the taste of bread with 1% OE low because it was bitter. Breads enriched with OE had a proper external appearance as well as crumb and crust features. Roasted onion aroma and taste were perceptible in the obtained breads. A bitterness was perceptible in breads baked with the addition of 1% of OE.

The effects of grape seed extract fortification on the antioxidant activity and quality attributes of bread

The antioxidant activity change of breads added with grape seed extract (GSE) was investigated. The results showed that bread with the addition of GSE had stronger antioxidant activity than that of blank bread, and increasing the level of GSE addition further enhanced the antioxidant capacity of the bread. However, thermal processing caused antioxidant activity of GSE added to bread to decrease by around 30–40%. We also studied the effect of GSE on the formation of detrimental N^ε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), a famous advanced glycation endproduct in bread. According to the results, GSE could reduce CML in bread and acted in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, except for an acceptable colour change, adding GSE to bread had only little effect on the quality attributes of the bread. Altogether, our findings indicate that GSE-fortified bread is promising to be developed as a functional food with relatively lower CML-related health risks, yet a high antioxidant activity.
