The scope of this work was to reduce the level of the biogenic amine ‘histamine’ in White wine. Different concentrations of 100 ml wine samples were prepared by incorporating various concentrations Bromelain; Quercetin and Ascorbic acid. A spectrophotometric based histamine analysis method was carried out to determine histamine concentrations. The histamine concertation reduced in 200mg/L Bromelain, 50mg/L Quercetin and 400mg/L Ascorbic acid treated samples by 62.34%, 61.64% and 46.41% respectively. The percentage DPPH scavenging activity was found to be 83.93%, 93.54%, 133.08% respectively against normal wine 86.93%. No significant changes observed in physicochemical properties of wine like functional groups; particle size analysis; effect on amino acids; turbidity; colour analysis; pH and sensory analysis in bromelain treated wine samples as compared to other samples. Reduction of histamine can be carried out by Bromelain (200mg/L) effectively than Quercetin and Ascorbic acid; based on the reducing capacity and the sensory parameters.

Arthrospira platensis (spirulina) is considered a source of natural molecules with nutritional and health benefits. As the different storage forms can affect the quantity and quality of bioactive ingredients, the aim of the present work was to evaluate the effects of freezing, oven-drying and freeze-drying on chemical composition of spirulina biomass. Total proteins, photosynthetic pigments and antioxidants, were analyzed and compared to respective quantities in fresh biomass. The frozen sample exhibited the highest content of phycocyanin-C, phenols, and ascorbic acid, also respect to the fresh biomass. The highest total flavonoid amount was in the freeze-dried biomass. HPLC-DAD analysis of phenolic acids revealed the presence of the isoflavone genistein, known for its therapeutic role, in all the spirulina samples. The phosphomolybdenum method (TAC) and DPPH scavenging activity were applied to determine the antioxidant activity of different samples. The highest DPPH scavenging activity was detected in fresh and freeze-dried biomass and it was positively related to carotenoid content. A positive correlation indicated that carotenoids, chlorophyll, ascorbic acid and all phenolic compounds were the major contributors to the TAC activity in spirulina biomass. The results highlighted a different functional value of spirulina biomass, depending on the processing methods used for its storage.

Peptides extracted from tissues of 11 shellfish species ( Corbicula japonica, Mercenaria stimpsoni, Anadara broughtoni, Patinopecten yessoesis, Crenomytilus grayanus, Spisula sachalinensis, Maktra chinensis, Serripes groenlandicus, Glycymeris yessoensis, Callista brevisiphonata, Dosinia japonica ) are tested for their antioxidant properties in different in vitro conditions. Frozen muscles and viscera of the shellfish were minced and subjected to water extraction of proteins and to hydrolysis with Protamex 1.5 MG. The peptides antioxidant activity was evaluated by assessing of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity on free radicals generated in oxidative systems. In the experiment, the high perfomance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system (Agilent Technologies 1260) included the frame TSKgel G 3000PWXL, the flow rate was 0.1 mL/min (0.1 N NaCI-20 mM Tris-HCI, pH 8.0), the detection was made under 280 nm. Molecular weight of the proteins was determined by comparison of their retention time with pure protein standards. The enzyme activity was high in conditions of pH in the range of 5.5-8.0, with the maximum under pH 7.0. Among 11 shellfish species, the highest antioxidant activity in water extract was observed for C. japonica , M. stimpsoni , C. brevisiphonata , G. yessoensis , and C. grayanus : 86.3, 68.7, 72.3, 90.2, and 67.5 mg of ascorbic acid/g, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity increased with increasing of the hydrolysis degree. The 1-step hydrolysis with Protamex enhanced the DPPH scavenging activity for all samples, with the highest value for the protein hydrolysate of M. stimpsoni tissues (215 mg of ascorbic acid/g). Size of generated peptides is important for the antioxidant activity therefore molecular weight distribution of the peptides during the proteolysis was investigated using HPLC. Portion of the low molecular weight peptides (≤ 1 kDa) in the protein hydrolysate was increased in 4-14 % as compared with the starting protein. The antioxidant activity correlated positively with the number of low molecular weight peptides in protein hydrolysates.

Beneficial properties of shade trees of tea plantations other than their medicinal properties have been extensively studied. This research was initiated to explore the properties of some shade trees with special emphasis on their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Leaves from shade tree like Dalbergia sissoo (DS), Cassia siamea (CS), Derris robusta (DR), Leucaena leucocephala (LL), Acacia lenticularis (AL) and Melia azedarach (MA) were used for the study. Characterization of shade tree leaves by determination of moisture, crude fibre and ash content and tests of non polar – polar solvent extracts for steroid, tannins, cardiac glycosides and coumarin, free radical scavenging, ferric reducing power, NO scavenging activities, quantification of Flavonoids and antibacterial activity were conducted. The average moisture, crude fibre and ash percentage of shade tree plants were found to be 62.95, 11.28 and 1.86 respectively. Methanol, ethanol, acetone and ethyl acetate respectively proved to be the most potent solvent for various phytochemical extractions as it gave positive results for tests like tannin, steroid, cardiac glycosides and coumarin. AL (91.46%), DR (92.69%), LL (94.32%) and MA (93.34%) leaf extracts showed a high level of DPPH scavenging activity in their water extracts. In DS (88.11%) and CS (83.23%) maximum DPPH scavenging activity was observed in Diethyl ether and Methanol extracts respectively.  Acetone extracts were more active than the water extracts in exhibiting ferric reducing power and NO scavenging activity. Summation of the quantity revealed that DS showed maximum presence of flavonoids and acetone as most potential for isolation of flavonoids. The decreasing order of summative antibacterial activity was recorded in DS, followed by CS, DR, AL, MA and LL. Chloroform showed the highest summative inhibition zone followed by ethanol, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, acetone, water,  hexane, benzene and methanol. The antioxidant and antibacterial potential of shade trees were established.

The objective of the present study was to characterize chemical composition of hitherto unexamined aerial parts of Lactuca sativa var. angustana cv. Grüner Stern. In contrast to leafy and head varieties of the lettuces, asparagus lettuce grown in Europe is much less studied. Fractionation of a methanolic extract from leaves of L. sativa cv. Grüner Stern, supported with HPLC/DAD and 1H NMR analysis, led to the isolation and/or identification of numerous terpenoid and phenolic compounds, including five apocarotenoids—(-)-loliolide, (+)-dehydrovomifoliol, blumenol A, (6S,9S)-vomifoliol, and corchoionoside C; three sesquiterpene lactones; two lignans—((+)-syringaresinol and its 4-O-β-glucoside); five caffeic acid derivatives; and three flavonoids. Some of the compounds, to the best of our knowledge, have never been isolated from L. sativa before. Moreover, monolignols, phenolic acids and a tryptophan-derived alkaloid were found in the analyzed plant material. Stems, leaves and shoot tips of the asparagus lettuce were examined to assess their phenolics and sesquiterpene lactone content as well as DPPH scavenging activity. Another stem lettuce—L. sativa var. angustana cv. Karola, two cultivars of leafy lettuces and one species of wild lettuce—L. serriola, were also examined as a reference material using HPLC/DAD. The results have been discussed regarding our previous studies and the literature data available.

Phenolic And Flavonoid

To evaluate the antioxidant potential of less valued green leafy vegetables of Bangladesh, the methanolic extracts of Alternanthera sessilis, A. philoxeroides, A. paronychioides, Glinus oppositifolius and Portulaca oleracea were subjected to assay for total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and DPPH free radicle scavenging activity. Among the studied materials, A. sessilis showed the highest phenolic and flavonoid content. However, G. oppositifolius presented the lowest phenolic content (14.53 ± 0.48 mg of GAE/g of sample) and P. oleracea exhibited minimum (7.005 ± 0.25 mg of RUE/g of sample) flavonoid content. DPPH radical scavenging activity was found to increase with increase in the concentration of each individual material. A. philoxiroides (IC50 = 6.07 ± 0.27 μg/ml) was found as the most active in DPPH radical percentage inhibition, which was followed by A. sessilis (IC50 = 7.17 ± 0.67 μg/ml). Interestingly, A. paronychioides, in spite of having good amount of total phenolic and flavonoid content, showed less DPPH scavenging activity. No linear relationship was found to exist in case of the total phenolic, flavonoid content and DPPH scavenging activity among G. oppositifolius, P. oleracea and A. paronychioides. The results from different methods may differ substantially because each complex chemical reaction generates unique values. However, all the five plants exhibited creditable antioxidant activity and thus consumption of these vegetables may play important role in combating oxidative stresses and thereby help in retaining good health.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in the antioxidant activity and phenolic profile of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) extracts obtained from the aerial parts of plants harvested at five growth stages. In vitro assays were used to determine the antioxidant activity, i.e., ABTS•+ and DPPH• scavenging activity, the ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and the ability to inhibit β-carotene–linoleic acid emulsion oxidation. Phenolic compounds, such as mono- and dicaffeoylquinic acid isomers and caffeic acid hexose, were identified using the LC–TOF–MS/MS technique. The predominant compound during the growth cycle of the plant was 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, whose content was the highest at the mid-flowering stage. The total phenolic content was also the highest in sunflowers at the mid-flowering stage. The main phenolic compound contents were closely correlated with ABTS•+ and DPPH• scavenging activity and FRAP. No significant correlation was found between the total phenolic content and the antioxidant activity in the emulsion system. The highest antiradical activity and FRAP were generally determined in older plants (mid-flowering and late flowering stages). In conclusion, the aerial parts of sunflowers, in particular those harvested at the mid-flowering stage, are a good plant material from which to obtain phenolic compound extracts, albeit mainly of one class (esters of caffeic acid and quinic acid), with high antioxidant activity.
