Hydroponic ginseng (HPG) has been known to have various bio-functionalities, including an antioxidant effect. Recently, fermentation by lactic acid bacteria has been studied to enhance bio-functional activities in plants by biologically converting their chemical compounds. HPG roots and shoots were fermented with Leuconostoc mesenteroides KCCM 12010P isolated from kimchi. The total phenolic compounds, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-adipogenic effects of these fermented samples were evaluated in comparison with non-fermented samples (control). During 24 h fermentation of HPG roots and shoots, the viable number of cells increased to 7.50 Log colony forming unit (CFU)/mL. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the fermented HPG roots increased by 107.19% and 645.59%, respectively, compared to non-fermented HPG roots. The antioxidant activity of fermented HPG, as assessed by 2,2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), β-carotene-linoleic, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, was also significantly enhanced. In an anti-inflammatory effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, the nitric oxide content and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) decreased when treated with fermented samples. Simultaneously, lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocyte was reduced when treated with fermented HPG. Fermentation by L. mesenteroides showed improved antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-adipogenic HPG effects. These results show that fermented HPG has potential for applications in the functional food industry.

Regarding the role of free radicals in pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), we were interested to investigate the effects of Teucrium persicum with approved antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in an experimental model of colitis. Immunologic colitis was induced by rectal administration of a mixture of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) and ethanol through rubber cannula into rats. Three different doses of Teucrium (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) were gavaged in a duration of 10 days to rats. Endpoint markers of colitis included macroscopic and microscopic examination of colon tissue and measuring colonic cells concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interlukin-1β (IL-1β), total antioxidant power as ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and lipid peroxidation as thiobarbitoric acid-reactive substance (TBARS). Teucrium at all doses improved both macroscopic and histological damages of rats with colitis. Teucrium reduced colonic MPO activity and concentrations of cellular lipid peroxides, TNF-α, and IL-1β, with a concomitant increase in FRAP value in rats with colitis. It is concluded that beneficial effects of Teucrium in experimental colitis is mediated through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials. Examination of this herbal medicine in patients with IBD as a supplement would further reveal the potential of Teucrium.

Background:: Propolis is a natural resinous material produced by honeybees. Propolis biological activity and its phenolic profile were largely studied all over the world. However, only few investigations have been carried out on Algerian and Turkish propolis. The aim of the present study is to compare the phenolic content, antioxidant and antibacterial activity of propolis samples collected from different localities of Algeria and Turkey. Methods:: Propolis extracts were performed using maceration in ethanol 80%. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined. Antioxidant and antibacterial activities were evaluated using FRAP assay and the determination of MIC against four bacterial strains (S. aureus ATCC 25923, E. coli ATCC 25922, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and K. pneumonia). Results:: TP varied from 19.51 ± 0.86 to 219.66 ± 1.23 mg GAE/g. Whereas, TF varied from 5.27± 0.07 to 74.57 ± 1.03 QE/g. All samples showed good ferric reducing antioxidant power ranging from 267.30 ± 4.77 to 2387.30 ± 44.15 μmol Trolox eq./g. All Algerian propolis samples displayed a more pronounced activity against S. aureus ATCC 25923 with MIC values ranging from 0,04 ± 0.00 mg/mL to 0.30±0.06 mg/mL with an activity 30 times more powerful than Anatolian propo-lis. While, Anatolian propolis samples were most active against P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 with MIC values ranging from 0.20±0.00 mg/mL to 0.60±0.00 mg/mL with an activity 5 to 10 times more powerful than Algerian propolis. Conclusion:: Algerian and Anatolian propolis possessed considerable phenolic and flavonoids contents. In addition, they ex-hibited an interesting antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Our finding suggest that both propolis could be useful in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Mustard leaf kimchi contains numerous functional compounds that have various health benefits. However, the underlying mechanisms of their anti-inflammatory effects are unclear. In this study, changes in the mustard leaf kimchi phenolics profile after fermentation with or without Lactobacillus plantarum were determined using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). To correlate changes in phenolic profiles with anti-inflammatory activities of the fermentation extracts, lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were treated with the extracts. We identified 12 phenolic acids in mustard leaf kimchi fermented with L. plantarum. Caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, and catechin substituted the metabolite abundance. Extracts of mustard leaf kimchi fermented by L. plantarum (MLKL) markedly inhibited nitric oxide production by decreasing interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) expression levels in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells. Thus, fermentation with L. plantarum potentially improves the anti-inflammatory activities of mustard leaf and mustard leaf fermented with this microorganism may serve as a proper diet for the treatment of inflammation.

Fruits are high in polyphenols which are compounds associated with the protection against diseases such as diabetes and cancer. However, food processing including canning can leads to the loss of polyphenol in the fruits. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity of canned fruits commercially available in the local supermarkets in Malaysia. The TPC was determined by using Folin-Ciocalteu method while the antioxidant capacity was evaluated by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH assay) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP assay). Five types of different canned fruits with the total of 21 samples including longan, lychee, rambutan, pineapple and orange were selected for the analysis. The samples were analyzed in two forms which were, the homogenized (fruits and syrup) and syrup samples. Canned pineapples have the highest TPC for both homogenized (95.16±30.16 mg GAE/100 g) and syrup sample (108.62±33.88 mg GAE/100 g). For antioxidant capacity, canned pineapple also had the highest value for the homogenized sample (41.79±4.20 umol TE/100 g) while lychee was the highest (46.84±12.81 umol TE/100 g) for syrup sample assessed by DPPH assay. For FRAP assay, lychee was highest in antioxidant capacity for both homogenized sample (40.61±10.55 umol TE/100 g) and syrup sample (33.58±7.56 umol TE/100 g). A positive and significant (P < 0.001) correlation was found between TPC and antioxidant capacity (DPPH and FRAP). In conclusion, canned pineapple and lychee were the highest sources of polyphenol as compared to other types of canned fruits. Further investigation is warranted to determine the specific polyphenol present in the canned fruits.

Six new metabolites, actinofuranones D-I (compounds 1–6), were isolated together with three known compounds—JBIR-108 (7), E-975 (8), and E-492 (9)—from a fermentation broth of Streptomyces gramineus derived from the lichen Leptogium trichophorum. The structures of the new compounds 1–6 were established using comprehensive NMR spectroscopic data analysis, as well as UV, IR, and MS data. The anti-inflammatory activity of these isolated compounds were evaluated by examining their ability to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Compounds 4, 5, 8, and 9 attenuated the production of NO due to the suppression of the expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, 4, 5, 8, and 9 also inhibited LPS-induced release of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α).

Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sajor-caju) is known to be highly nutritious food. However, the understanding of its quality and food products produced from it are still very limited. With the desire to increase the value of oyster mushroom and to create an intermediate product with high nutrients content for further processing, a cellulase enzyme-assisted extract of dried oyster mushroom was investigated. The effects of extraction conditions in terms of temperature (40, 45, 50, 55oC), pH (4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0) and extraction time (4, 6, 8, 10 hrs) on nutrients and bioactive compounds of extract were studied. The results showed that the highest extraction efficiency was obtained at 50oC, pH 5.5 and 8 hrs of hydrolysis. The Brix of the extract was 2.53. In 100 g dry matter of extract, the content of saccharose, reducing sugar, total protein, amino acids, lysine, β-glucan, total phenolic and total flavonoid was 15.13 g, 19.41 g, 43.65 g, 7.96 g, 0.82 g, 10.63 mg, 62.60 mg TAE, 5.54 mg QE, respectively. The highest antioxidant capacity of the extract determined by Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP assay) was 165.50 mM Fe2+/100 g dry matter and that measured by scavenging 2,2 -diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals was 69.32%.
