Phenolic Profile,Antioxidant Capacity,and Antimicrobial Activity of Leaf Extracts from Six Vitis vinifera L. Varieties

The phenolic composition, antioxidant activity, and antimicrobial activity of extracts from vine leaves of six grape varieties collected in May, August, and September was studied. The phenolic potential of the extracts was dependent on variety and picking-time. Extracts of leaves collected in September were the richest in total phenols, flavonoids, flavonols, and stilbenes. The antioxidant properties determined by ferric reducing antioxidant power and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assays, and antimicrobial activity against Stapylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella Infantis were good and in correlation with the chemical composition changes of the leaf extracts. The results indicated that leaves remaining on the vine in September after the grape harvest could be especially promising as an inexpensive source of effective antioxidant/antimicrobial agents.     

Determination of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol,hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol purified from olive oil by-products with HPLC in animal plasma and tissues

A simple, fast and reliable method to quantify, simultaneously, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG), hydroxytyrosol (HT) and tyrosol (Ty) extracted and purified successfully from olive oil by-product, called alperujo, in animal plasma and tissues samples has been developed using a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with UV–Vis detection. Extraction of compounds is based on solid-phase extraction for plasma and homogenisation with zirconia beads and centrifugation for tissues. Calibration curves were linear for all three phenols at a relatively low concentration range (0.05–50 μg/mL). This method has acceptable accuracy (91–95% in plasma and 63–100% in tissues), precision (1.11–8.26% intra-day and 0.32–9.5% inter-day) and sensitivity for detecting low concentrations of these phenols in small plasma volumes and several animal tissues such as liver, heart, kidney, muscle, testes, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brain.     

Antioxidant Properties and Phenolic Composition of Greek Propolis Extracts

This study was undertaken to determine the total phenols, total flavonoids, and major phenolic compounds in the polar (methanol, 80% methanol, and aqueous) extracts of propolis collected from the Greek mainland (West Macedonia) and the Greek island, Rhodes. The antioxidant properties of the propolis extracts were also evaluated by using free 2,2^′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay. The results showed that propolis from West Macedonia was found to be the strongest radical scavenger and ferric reducing agent (mean IC₅₀ 0.179 and 0.009 mg/ml, respectively). Methanol (mean IC₅₀ 0.181 mg/ml) and 80% methanol extracts (mean IC₅₀ 0.138 mg/ml) of propolis from West Macedonia showed higher radical scavenging activity than the synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (mean IC₅₀ 0.207 mg/ml), while exhibiting similar levels of reducing activity (IC₅₀ 0.0099 mg/ml and 0.0085 mg/ml, respectively) with flavonol quercetin (mean IC₅₀ 0.0101 mg/ml). In addition, analysis by high performance liquid chromatography showed that West Macedonia propolis, contained the highest amount of phenolic compounds: phenolic acids (caffeic acid, caffeic acid phenethylester, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid) and flavonoids (quercetin, galangin, luteolin, apigenin). Caffeic acid (0.639–4.172 mg/g propolis) and galangin (1.317–8.551 mg/g propolis) were found to be the predominant phenolic compounds in these propolis extracts.     

Phenolic Profiles and Antioxidant Properties of Apple Skin Extracts

ABSTRACT:  Lipid oxidation, especially the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, is a significant issue in the food industry impacting both food quality and health of consumers. Apple skin was investigated as a source of natural antioxidants. The phenolic compound composition and antioxidant properties of 21 selected apple genotypes were evaluated. The lipid stabilizing ability of the apple skin extracts was examined using an aqueous emulsion system of methyl linolenate. The total phenolic concentrations determined by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry of methanolic extracts of skins of the apple genotypes varied from 150 to 700 mg/100 g DW. The antioxidant capacity measured by Folin–Ciocalteu (16.2 to 34.1 mg GAE/100 g DW), ferric reducing antioxidant power (1.3 to 3.3 g TE/100 g DW), oxygen radical absorbance capacity (5.2 to 14.2 g TE/100 g DW), and percent inhibition of oxidation of methyl linolenate (73.8% to 97.2%) varied among the apple genotypes. The apple skin extracts, specifically the crab apple varieties such as "Dolgo," were revealed to be effective inhibitors of oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acid in a model system and thus can be considered as a potential source of natural food antioxidants.     

Antioxidant Capacities,Phenolic Contents,and GC/MS Analysis of Rhodiola imbricata Edgew. Root Extracts from Trans‐Himalaya

Our aim was to assess the antioxidant capacities and phenolic constituents of methanol and aqueous extracts of Rhodiola imbricata Edgew. root from Trans‐Himalayan cold desert of Ladakh. The 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′‐azinobis‐(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging capacity of the root extracts increased in a dose‐dependent manner (up to 0.1 mg/mL) and root extract concentrations required for 50% inhibition of radical scavenging effect (IC₅₀) were recorded as 0.013 and 0.014 mg/mL (for DPPH) and 0.016 and 0.017 mg/mL (for ABTS) for methanol and aqueous extracts, respectively. The total antioxidant power of the extract was determined by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Total polyphenol and phenolic acid content of methanol and aqueous extracts were 112.24, 59.06, 39.02, and 16.95 mg gallic acid equivalent/g of extract, respectively. Total flavonoid and flavonol contents were estimated to be 30.2, 17.67, 20.68, and 7.38 mg quercetin equivalent/g of extract, respectively. In all antioxidant capacity assays, the methanol extract exhibited significantly higher antioxidant capacity than that of aqueous extract due to the presence of significantly higher amount of vital phytoconstitiuents, viz. polyphenol, phenolic acid, and flavonol. GC/MS analysis showed that phytosterols, alkyl halide, phenols, and fatty acid esters were major phytochemical clusters. On the other hand, monoterpenes, fatty acids, tocopherols, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and ethers were found to be present in comparatively less amount in the methanol extract. Hence, our study signifies that this high‐altitude medicinal herb could be used as the natural source of antioxidants and supports its use in traditional system of medicine to ameliorate oxidative stress and high‐altitude maladies.     

Antioxidant properties of aqueous and methanol soy extracts in minced trout muscle

Antioxidant capacity of freeze-dried aqueous and methanolic extracts of soy protein isolate (SPI) and soybean meal (SBM) were assessed by 2, 2′-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and total phenolic content (TPC). Caffeic and chlorogenic acids in liquid aqueous extracts, and genistein and daidzein in liquid methanolic extracts were measured by HPLC. Freeze-dried extracts were applied (1000 and 4000 μg/g) to trout mince and TBARS formation monitored during 14 days refrigerated storage. SBM aqueous extracts-treated mince (4000 μg/g) had significantly lower (P < 0.05) TBARS than all other treatments. SPI methanolic extract had the highest TPC (100 mg chlorogenic acid equivalents/100 g extract) and genistein and daidzein contents. SPI aqueous extracts had the highest chlorogenic acid (280 μg/g) while SBM aqueous extracts had the highest caffeic acids content (484 μg/g). SPI had the best in vivo antioxidant profile. SBM extracts were most effective at retarding lipid oxidation in refrigerated trout mince.     

Phenolic Profiles and Total Antioxidant Capacity of Marketed Beers in Serbia

The aim of this research was to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents as well as to measure antioxidant activity of 24 different commercial beers consumed in Serbia. The major phenolic acids (gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, caffeic acid, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, sinapic acid, salicylic), (+)-catechin, and (-)-epicatechin were also determined by high pressure liquid chromatography method using a photodiode array detector. Gallic acid, ferulic acid, and protocatechuic acid are the most abundant phenolic acids in all samples, followed by (+)-catechin. The total phenolic content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. The total flavonoids were measured using spectrophotometrics as the aluminum chloride assay. The results showed that the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents were established in dark and light beer samples. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl radical scavenging activity, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical cation scavenging activity, and ferric reducing/antioxidant power were used to assess the antioxidant potential of beers. These assays, based on different chemical mechanisms, were selected to take into account the wide variety and range of action of antioxidant compounds present in selected beer samples. All beers showed antioxidant power, but a wide range of antioxidant capacities was observed. Statistical differences between ferric reducing-antioxidant power and the other two antioxidant capacity assays were confirmed. This study will be useful for the appraisal of phenolic profile and antioxidant activities of various beers, and it will also be of interest for people who like drinking this beverage.     

Phenolic Profile and Antioxidant Activity of Extracts Prepared from Fermented Heat‐Stabilized Defatted Rice Bran

Heat‐stabilized, defatted rice bran (HDRB) serves as a potential source of phenolic compounds which have numerous purported health benefits. An estimated 70% of phenolics present in rice bran are esterified to the arabinoxylan residues of the cell walls. Release of such compounds could provide a value‐added application for HDRB. The objective of this study was to extract and quantify phenolics from HDRB using fermentation technology. Out of 8 organisms selected for rice bran fermentation, Bacillus subtilis subspecies subtilis had the maximum phenolic release of 26.8 mg ferulic acid equivalents (FAE) per gram HDRB. Response surface methodology was used to further optimize the release of rice bran phenolics. An optimum of 28.6 mg FAE/g rice bran was predicted at 168 h, 0.01% inoculation level, and 100 mg HDRB/mL. Fermentation of HDRB for 96 h with B. subtilis subspecies subtilis resulted in a significant increase in phenolic yield, phenolic concentration, and radical scavenging capacity. Fermented rice bran had 4.86 mg gentistic acid, 1.38 mg caffeic acid, 6.03 mg syringic acid, 19.02 mg (‐)‐epicatechin, 4.08 mg p‐courmaric acid, 4.64 mg ferulic acid, 10.04 mg sinapic acid, and 17.59 mg benzoic acid per 100 g fermented extract compared to 0.65 mg p‐courmaric acid and 0.36 mg ferulic acid per 100 g nonfermented extract. The high phenolic content and antioxidant activity of fermented HDRB extract indicates that rice bran fermentation under optimized condition is a potential means of meeting the demand for an effective and affordable antioxidant.     

Antioxidant Capacity and Phenolic Content of the Aqueous Extract of Commonly Consumed Cucurbits

The antioxidant capacity of commonly consumed cucurbits vegetable was determined by the DPPH, FRAP, Fe³⁺ reducing power, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay. The aqueous extract of Luffa cylindrica showed the highest value of phenolic content and antioxidant capacity based on FRAP, Fe³⁺ reducing power, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay. However, Laginaria siceraria extract showed the highest flavonoid and DPPH scavenging activities among all three cucurbits used in this study. Phenolic content in aqueous extracts of Luffa cylindrica and Laginaria siceraria was almost equal. Cucurbita maxima exhibited the lowest phenolic, flavonoid content, and exhibited the lowest power of antioxidant scavenging. The antioxidant capacity of cucurbits was significantly correlated (P < 0.05) with the phenolic content of their extracts. The antioxidant capacity of Luffa cylindrica and Laginaria siceraria have also shown a significant correlation (P < 0.05).     

Antioxidant activity of hydroxytyrosol in frankfurters enriched with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids

The capacity of hydroxytyrosol (HXT) to inhibit lipid oxidation in cooked pork meat batter, oil-in-water emulsions and potential functional frankfurters formulated with a healthier oil combination (as animal fat replacer) was studied during chilling storage, and its effect compared with those produced by synthetic antioxidants (BHA/BHT). Although efficiency varied, HXT was an effective antioxidant during chilling storage in the three food matrices studied. In general the order of inhibition capacity of HXT against lipid oxidation (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances-TBARS) was cooked meat batter > oil-in-water emulsion > frankfurters, whereas in the case of BHA/BHT (with lower inhibitory activity than HXT) it was cooked meat batter > oil-in-water emulsion, and there was no antioxidative effect in frankfurters. Whereas significant correlations were established between lipid oxidation (TBARS) and antioxidative capacity measured by photochemiluminescence (PCL) in frankfurters supplemented with HXT and BHA/BHT, no significant correlations were found between ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay (FRAP) and TBARS and PCL.     

Antioxidant and emulsifying properties of potato protein hydrolysate in soybean oil-in-water emulsions

The efficacy of a previously developed antioxidative potato protein hydrolysate (PPH) for the stabilisation of oil droplets and inhibition of lipid oxidation in soybean oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions was investigated. Emulsions (10% lipid, pH 7.0) with PPH-coated oil droplets were less stable than those produced with Tween 20 (P < 0.05). However, the presence of PPH, whether added before or after homogenisation with Tween 20, retarded emulsion oxidation, showing reduced formation of peroxides up to 53.4% and malonaldehyde-equivalent substances up to 70.8% after 7-d storage at 37 °C (P < 0.05), when compared with PPH-free emulsions. In the emulsions stabilised by PPH + Tween 20, 8–15% of PPH was distributed at the interface. Adjustment of the pH from 3 to 7 markedly increased ζ-potential of such emulsions (P < 0.05). Inhibition of lipid oxidation by PPH in soybean O/W emulsions can be attributed to both chemical and physical (shielding) actions.     

Antioxidant effects of soy sauce on color stability and lipid oxidation of raw beef patties during cold storage

This study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant effects of soy sauce on lipid oxidation and color stability of raw beef patties. Raw beef patties were formulated with four solutions such as NaCl (sodium chloride solution), NaCl/SS (1:1 ratio of sodium chloride and soy sauce solution), SS (soy sauce solution), or SS/A (soy sauce solution combined with 0.05% ascorbic acid) in the same salt concentration. Addition of soy sauce resulted in the decreased pH, lightness, and increased yellowness. Treatment SS/A had the lowest percent of metmyoglobin during storage (P < 0.05). A reduction (P < 0.05) in the 2-thiobarbituric acid, peroxide, and conjugated diene concentration as result of soy sauce addition were observed in treatments SS and SS/A at the end of the storage period. There were no differences (P > 0.05) in free fatty acid concentration at the end of storage. The combined addition of soy sauce and ascorbic acid greatly improved (P < 0.05) color stability and retarded lipid oxidation.

Moderate consumption of wine,through both its phenolic compounds and alcohol content,promotes hydroxytyrosol endogenous generation in humans. A randomized controlled trial

In humans, urinary hydroxytyrosol (OHTyr) concentrations have been associated to alcohol and wine consumption. To explore the role of wine components on promoting an endogenous OHTyr generation we performed a cross‐over, double‐blind, randomized controlled clinical trial (n = 28 healthy volunteers). Ethanol (wine and vodka), dealcoholized wine, and placebo were administered. Alcohol, dealcoholized wine, and particularly wine promoted a de novo OHTyr generation in vivo in humans. Potential OHTyr precursors (tyrosine, tyrosol, tyramine) were investigated in rats. Tyrosol was metabolized to OHTyr. Collating both studies, it is postulated that an increased Tyr bioavailability, a shift to a reductive pathway in dopamine and tyramine oxidative metabolism, and the biotransformation of Tyr to OHTyr were mechanisms involved in the OHTyr endogenous generation.

Antioxidant properties of extracts from Ginkgo biloba leaves in meatballs

The aim was to determine the effect of Ginkgo leaf extracts on the stability of lipids and cholesterol in pork meatballs over 21 days of refrigerated storage. The antioxidants used were characterized by their antioxidant activity towards lipids and cholesterol. Extracts were prepared from green and yellow leaves from Ginkgo biloba L. trees. Water, acetone and ethanol were used as extractants. The extracts showed stabilizing effects on both lipid and cholesterol oxidation processes. The lipid oxidation process of pork meatballs was mostly inhibited by the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the yellow leaves. Their antioxidant activity was higher than that of BHT. All the extracts had a stabilizing effect on cholesterol and most of them inhibited the formation of oxidized derivatives. The acetone and ethanol extracts of green leaves and the ethanol extract of yellow leaves inhibited the formation of cholesterol oxidation products formation most effectively.     

Carotenoid Profile,Total Phenolic Content,and Antioxidant Activity of Carrots

Carotenoid profile, antioxidant activity, and total phenolic content of carrot cultivars from three different locations in Turkey were determined during two consecutive years. The major carotenoids determined in carrots were β-carotene (41.60–71.2 mg/kg FW) and α-carotene (13.44–30.11 mg/kg FW). The total phenolic contents of carrots ranged from 114–306 mg catechin/kg FW. The antioxidant activity in carrots determined by the TEAC assay varied between 25.9 and 86.6 μmol TE/100 g FW. There was considerable variation in carotenoid contents between locations and years among cultivars. Significant differences were found between the two consecutive years in total phenolic contents except for only one cultivar. The level of antioxidant activity in carrots varied significantly over the years.
