Gastrointestinal Conditions

The objectives of this study were to determine the antioxidant activity of fruits containing polyphenolics, namely anthocyanins, and their capacity to reduced Fe (III) to Fe (II) under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The antioxidant capacity of fruits against prooxidant iron was determined using an in vitro assay. All the fruits exhibited variable antioxidant activity to iron in comparison to the control, both in the presence and absence of digestive enzymes and bile salts. For the fruits containing anthocyanins it was possible to obtain a positive correlation between total ferrous iron and anthocyanins content. There are strong negative correlations between phenolic compounds and dialyzable ferrous iron.

Oat Bran

In this study, blueberry and blackcurrant powder were chosen as the phenolic-rich enrichments for oat bran. A Rapid Visco Analyser was used to form blueberry and blackcurrant enriched oat pastes. An in vitro digestion process evaluated the changes of phenolic compounds and the in vitro antioxidant potential of extracts of pastes. The anthocyanidin profiles in the extracts were characterised by the pH differential method. The results showed that blueberry and blackcurrant powder significantly increased the content of phenolic compounds and the in vitro antioxidant capacity of pastes, while the total flavonoid content decreased after digestion compared to the undigested samples. Strong correlations between these bioactive compounds and antioxidant values were observed. Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages were used to investigate the intracellular antioxidant activity of the extracts from the digested oat bran paste with 25% enrichment of blueberry or blackcurrant powder. The results indicated that the extracts of digested pastes prevented the macrophages from experiencing lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation, mainly by the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signalling pathway. These findings suggest that the bioactive ingredients from blueberry and blackcurrant powder enhanced the in vitro and intracellular antioxidant capacity of oat bran pastes, and these enriched pastes have the potential to be utilised in the development of the functional foods.

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the extraction method on the dry extract yield of guava leaves, correlating the total phenolic content (TPC) with the antioxidant activity. The dry extracts were obtained from hydroethanolic (50 and 70%) extract using the ultrasound-assisted method. Folin-Ciocalteau reagent was used to determine the content of TPC. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) in vitro assay was used to determine the ability to scavenge free radicals. The results analyses demonstrated that the ultrasound-assisted method produced a higher yield in both dry extracts (11%), in contrast to the conventional method. The 50% hydroethanolic solvent was more efficient in the extraction of bioactive compounds. Both extracts showed a positive correlation of phenolic content with antioxidant activity. The FTIR spectrograms showed changes in the chemical groups, as well as determining the aromaticity index of the extracts, indicating a higher aromatic prevalence to the solvent 50%, although it presented simpler phenolic structures. In conclusion, the results provide an important basis for the use of phenolic compounds extracted from guava leaves, not only due to the antioxidant activity exerted, however, for potential use as a crosslinking agent of sulfated and non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG).

Polyphenols from berries have proved healthy effects after“in vitro”and“in vivo”studies, such as preventing tumor growing and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. We compared four different kinds of berries—strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry—with the aim to distinguish their phenolic composition, concerning their antioxidant capacity along with their“in vitro”availability. Folin-Ciocalteu method was used for the determination of phenolic compounds, and the antioxidant capacity was measured by ORAC method. Moreover, the determination of anthocyanins was accomplished with an HPLC-DAD. Finally, we carried out an“in vitro”digestion to simulate the gastrointestinal digestion. All berries showed good antioxidant capacity with significant differences, besides high total phenolic compounds. Content of anthocyanins measured by HPLC-DAD varied between the different berries, namely, blackberries and strawberries which showed higher anthocyanin concentration. After“in vitro”digestion, berries showed poor bioavailability of the analysis of anthocyanins (9.9%–31.7%). Availability of total phenolic compounds was higher than anthocyanins (33%–73%). Moreover, strawberries and blackberries presented the less availability grade. Decrease in antioxidant activity measured by ORAC method was about 90% in all berries studied. Therefore, bioavailability of phenolic compounds remains unclear and more correlation between“in vitro”and“in vivo”studies seems to be necessary.

The fruits belonging to the family Myrtaceae are known sources of compounds with functional characteristics. Nevertheless, the studies are focused only on some species of this family. In this sense, we aimed to quantify the bioactive compounds present in the pulps of cambuci, feijoa, uvaia and grumixama; to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant capacity of each one and to correlate the contribution of these bioactive compounds with the antioxidant activity of each fruit pulp. For this, the compounds ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and flavonoids were quantified for the pulps of cambuci, feijoa, uvaia, and grumixama, as well as the in vitro antioxidant capacity by the methods DPPH and ABTS. The results were evaluated by multivariate statistical techniques. The pulps present good antioxidant potential, the one from cambuci presented the highest values for antioxidant activity given by the method DPPH (61.86 µg of Trolox g-1), that from uvaia was prominent by the presence of ascorbic acid (85.40 ascorbic acid 100 g-1) and that from feijoa, by the flavonoid contents (62.45 mg quercetin g-1) and phenolic compounds (10.21 mg gallic acid equivalent g–1). A correlation was observed between pulp antioxidant capacity and the contents of ascorbic acid and carotenoids; on the other hand, the phenolic compounds and flavonoids little contributed for the anti-free radical activity of the methods DPPH and ABTS.

AbstractBackgroundTo the best of our knowledge, up to now, there are no reports on the antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds of Crataegus oxyacantha flowers and fruits. Such detailed information is essential to advance the existing knowledge and to promote the use of this species growing in Africa.Therefore, the objective of this investigation was to analyze the content of phenolic compounds as well as the antioxidant activities of flowers and fruits of C. oxyacantha from Bejaia (Northeastern Algeria) by different analytical methods, and to determine the relationship between them.MethodsPhenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of Algerian hawthorn flowers and fruits (C. oxyacantha L.) were studied. Total phenolics, flavonoids and flavonols were determined using colorimetric methods. The phenolic profile was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection, and the in vitro antioxidant activity was measured using scavenging assay (FRAP) and Fremy’s salt, using electronic paramagnetic resonance.ResultsDifferent classes of phenolic compounds were identified and quantified. Hawthorn flowers contained higher levels of hydroxycinnamic acids, vitexin derivatives and flavonols compared to fruits, while anthocyanins were present only in fruits. Significant correlations were found between phenolic content and antioxidant activity. The results also showed that although the phenolic content of the two parts was different, their antioxidant capacity was not statistically different.ConclusionsThe results of this study indicate that hawthorn flowers and fruits of C. oxyacantha may be considered as a natural source of bioactive compounds.

Five flavones glycosides (i.e., 2''-O-α-l-rhamnosyl-6-C-3''deoxyglucosyl-3'-methoxyluteolin, ax-5'-methane-3'-methoxymaysin, ax-4''-OH-3'-methoxymaysin, 6,4'-dihydroxy-3'-methoxyflavone-7-O-glucoside, and 7,4'-dihydroxy-3’-methoxyflavone-2''-O-α-l-rhamnosyl-6-C-fucoside) were successfully isolated from corn silk and identified. We evaluated their antioxidant activity among in vitro assay systems. Most of the flavones glycosides showed a high antioxidant activity in a lecithin liposome system, as well as a strong scavenging activity against radicals such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide, and hydroxyl radicals. The study indicated that the corn silk flavonoids, especially 6, 4'-dihydroxy- 3'-methoxyflavone-7-O-glucoside, may be beneficial natural food antioxidants.

This study set out to isolate microrganisms strains with probiotic characteristics after simulating the in vitro digestion of sheep milk fermented by kefir grains. Three lactobacilli with probiotic characteristics were isolated and identified as Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Assays characterized these strains as probiotic since they tolerated acid pH and bile salts, had antibiotic resistance, antagonist activity, antioxidant activity, presence of β-galactosidase enzyme and other tests revealed adhesion capacity. All strains presented antioxidant activity and survived at different pH and bile salts. These strains can be considered safe because they were susceptible to antibiotics tested, possess antagonist activity to pathogens and high β-galactosidase activity. As to adhesion criteria (hydrophobicity and autoaggregation), L. rhamnosus Lb16 stood out, as it also adheres to the intestinal epithelium cells of mice. The analysis of L. rhamnosus Lb16 can assist the dairy industry to enhance the potential human health benefits of its products. This paper is an important contribution to probiotics isolated after simulation of the in vitro digestion of fermented sheep milk by kefir grains, this has a differential due to its different characteristics which afforded the isolation of resistant strains to gastrointestinal conditions.
