The soybean protein was hydrolyzed by Alcalase Food grade (FG) 2.4 L and the degree of hydrolysis (DH) were determined. The DH increased with the hydrolysis time increasing during 3.0 h. Then the hydrolysates was isolated by ultrafiltration membrane (1, 3, 10 kDa) and antioxidant activity was evaluated based on DPPH radical scavenging activity. The fraction of 1-3 kDa possessed the higher antioxidant activity than the other fractions (P < 0.05). Sephadex G-25 gel column was used to purify the three kinds of peptides and the eluted volume was investigated.

The present study aimed to evaluate the potential of standardized methanolic extracts from seven Ficus deltoidea varieties in inhibiting the formation of AGEs, protein oxidation, and their antioxidant effects. The antiglycation activity was analyzed based on the inhibition of AGEs, fructosamine, and thiol groups level followed by the inhibition of protein carbonyl formation. The antioxidant activity (DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power assay) and total phenolic contents were evaluated. After 28 days of induction, all varieties of Ficus deltoidea extracts significantly restrained the formation of fluorescence AGEs by 4.55–5.14 fold. The extracts also reduced the fructosamine levels by 47.0–86.5%, increased the thiol group levels by 64.3–83.7%, and inhibited the formation of protein carbonyl by 1.36–1.76 fold. DPPH radical scavenging activity showed an IC50 value of 66.81–288.04 μg/ml and reducing power activity depicted at 0.02–0.24 μg/ml. The extent of phenolic compounds present in the extracts ranged from 70.90 to 299.78 mg·GAE/g. Apart from that, correlation studies between the activities were observed. This study revealed that seven varieties of Ficus deltoidea have the potential to inhibit AGEs formation and possess antioxidant activity that might be attributed to the presence of phenolic compounds.

Casein, gluten, and soy protein are widely used in food processing for structure, texture, and flavour improvement. These large proteins might be hydrolysed to shorter peptides or amino acids, which provide antioxidant activities through enzymatic and fermentative food processes. Casein, gluten, and soy protein were digested with an enzyme supplement product containing dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) and protease in this study. Then, each protein was hydrolysed by Lactobacillus kefiri strain. 2,2, diphenyl 1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and reducing power (RP) were measured for undigested and digested samples. According to our results, all proteins were hydrolysed. Soy protein demonstrated the highest IC<sub>50</sub> value of DPPH for undigested (2.64 mg/ml) and digested samples (1.56 mg/ml) as well as the highest RP value (0.171 for undigested and 0.234 for digested at 700 nm). On the other hand, casein provided the weakest DPPH radical scavenging activity (1.58 ± 0.041% for undigested and 21.86 ± 0.012% for digested samples). A strong correlation was found between cell growth and antioxidant activity of casein during the microbial fermentation. In addition, the changes in protein expression levels by microbial fermentation were analysed by using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Mass spectrometry-based protein identification studies revealed that EF-G, DNA-K, and DNA-J were mainly overexpressed indicating L. kefiri adapts itself by changing the overall proteome.

Secondary metabolites and their biological activity have pharmacological relevance in the prevention and therapeutic management of disease, including the facilitation of normal physiological processes through biochemical mechanisms. In this study, phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity were evaluated quantitatively on the acetone, ethanol, and aqueous extracts of the flesh, and peel, as well as the boiled peel extract compartments of Musa sinensis L. and Musa paradisiaca L. fruits. Total phenol, proanthocyanidin, and flavonoid contents were estimated and measured spectrophotometrically. The free radical scavenging antioxidant capacity of the extracts was tested on DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl ethanol), ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)), and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) assay models. Correlation between phytoconstituents and antioxidant activity was analysed using Pearson’s coefficient. The results showed varying amounts of phytochemicals in the solvent extracts of the flesh and peel, including the boiled peel extract of M. sinensis and M. paradisiaca. All acetone extracts of M. sinensis flesh, M. paradisiaca flesh, and M. paradisiaca peel had the highest phytochemical contents, with the exception of the ethanol extract of M. sinensis peel which had the highest phenol content; just as on the overall scale, the peel compartments had generally higher phytochemical profiles than the soft flesh in both fruits. The boiled peel extracts of M. sinensis and M. paradisiaca had the highest ABTS (0.03 mg/mL) and DPPH (0.03 mg/mL) activity. Ferric reducing power (FRAP) was the highest in the ethanol extracts of M. sinensis flesh and peel, and M. paradisiaca flesh, while it was the highest in the acetone extract of M. paradisiaca at the peak concentration used (0.1 mg/mL). There was a significant negative correlation between the total phenol and flavonoid contents of M. sinensis flesh with its DPPH radical scavenging activity and proanthocyanidin content of M. paradisiaca flesh with its DPPH radical scavenging activity. The correlation outcomes indicate that none of the phytochemical constituents solely affected antioxidant activity; instead, a combination of the polyphenolic constituents contributed to antioxidant activity. This study shows the therapeutic potentials of the flesh and, importantly, the peel of M. sinensis and M. paradisiaca fruits on the basis of the polyphenolic constitution against free radicals and oxidative stress.

Nyctanthes arbor-tristis (Harshingar, Parijat) belongs to the family Oleaceae. The flower has white petals with an orange calyx. Nyctanthes stems have been found to be a rich source of antioxidant. The aqueous extracts of the flower, calyx and petals were evaluated and found to be dose-dependent and showed an increase in DPPH free radical scavenging activity in vitro. The extracts, which showed strong DPPH radical scavenging activity, are in the order Calyx > flower > petals. This signifies that the main antioxidant activity is in the orange colored calyx of the flower. We have attempted an innovative study with the Nyctanthes flower as a part of an exploration for a cheap natural source of antioxidants which can be used at the industrial scale of the food industry.

Cheese ripening causes intense proteolysis, particularly when the cheese contains starter cultures. Several studies have shown the presence of bioactive peptides in goat’s milk cheeses with antioxidant activity. Mexican goat cheeses’ peptide fractions were evaluated at different ripening stages. Additionally, they were correlated with their antioxidant activity. Proteolysis was measured in the acid-soluble nitrogen and non-protein nitrogen fractions using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. While the antioxidant activity in both nitrogenous fractions was determined using a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl solution. Analyzed cheeses showed peptides fraction in the retention time of 2.05, 18.36, and 50.11 min for acid-soluble fraction and non-protein protein nitrogen, and showed antioxidant activity from the first day of ripening to 73% discoloration in the DPPH solution at 55 ripening days. Obtained results suggested that ripened Mexican goat cheese had a DPPH radical scavenging activity related to peptides present originally in the milk or released by starter culture action during cheese ripening.

Anthocyanin is a bioactive component which give basic color of red, purple, and blue to blackish foodstuffs. So, the anthocyanin could be developed as a natural pigment in foodstuffs, but it is unstable. Several studies have been conducted to improve its stability in the food system. The purpose of this study was to analyze the stability of anthocyanin in isotonic beverages as food system with the addition of copigmentation compound derived from star fruit flower extract. The stability of the isotonic beverage was tested at some heating temperatures and storage periods. Isotonic drink were formulated using anthocyanin extracted from glutinous rice flour. Isotonic beverages consist of sucrose, fructose, sodium benzoate, citric acid, KCl, and K2PO4 which were regulated containing anthocyanin equivalent to 25 mg/L. Added ingredients to increase the stability of anthocyanin in isotonic drinks was 5% star-fruit flower extract. During storage, the phenolic content, anthocyanin, and antioxidant activity of isotonic beverages were observed. The results showed that heating process declined the anthocyanin content significantly, from 25 mg/L to 2.82 mg/L. Decreased level of anthocyanin also occurred during storage. Heating at 50, 65, and 70 °C gave no significant difference of phenol content. Similar to its ability to capture DPPH radicals (% RSA DPPH, radical scavenging activity 2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). Increasing the temperature from 50 to 70 °C would increase the stability of anthocyanin, total phenolic, and also the antioxidant activity. Meanwhile, storage would decrease the anthocyanin content but increase the phenolic content and the antioxidant activity. ABSTRAKAntosianin merupakan komponen bioaktif dan warna dasar bahan makanan yang berwarna merah, ungu, biru hingga kehitaman. Antosianin berpotensi dikembangkan sebagai pewarna alami untuk makanan, akan tetapi pigmen ini bersifat tidak stabil. Beberapa penelitian telah dilakukan untuk meningkatkan stabilitasnya dalam sistem pangan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis stabilitas antosianin dalam minuman isotonik sebagai sistem pangan dengan penambahan senyawa kopigmentasi yang berasal dari ekstrak bunga belimbing. Stabilitas minuman isotonik diuji pada beberapa suhu pemanasan dan periode penyimpanan. Minuman isotonik diformulasikan menggunakan antosianin hasil ekstraksi dari tepung beras ketan hitam. Minuman isotonik terdiri dari sukrosa, fruktosa, Na-benzoat, asam sitrat, KCl, dan K2PO4 yang diatur mengandung antosianin setara dengan 25 mg/L. Bahan yang ditambahkan untuk meningkatkan stabilitas antosianin pada minuman isotonik adalah ekstrak bunga maya (belimbing) 5%. Selama penyimpanan diamati kadar fenolik, kadar antosianin, dan aktivitas antioksidan dari minuman isotonik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa proses pemanasan menyebabkan penurunan yang signifikan dari kadar antosianin, dari semula 25 mg/L menjadi hanya 2,82 mg/L saja. Penurunan kadar antosianin terjadi juga selama penyimpanan. Perlakuan suhu 50, 65, dan 70 °C memberikan perbedaan kadar fenolik yang tidak signifikan. Begitu pula dengan kemampuannya untuk menangkap radikal DPPH (% RSA DPPH, radical scavenging activity 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). Kenaikan suhu dari 50 menjadi 70 °C, meningkatkan stabilitas antosianin, meningkatkan kadar fenolik, dan aktivitas antioksidannya. Sementara proses penyimpanan membuat kadar antosianin semakin menurun dan meningkatkan kadar fenolik serta aktivitas antioksidannya.
