Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant compounds and antioxidant activity in "early potatoes".
Lucia Leo,Antonella Leone,Cristiano Longo,Domenico Antonio Lombardi,Francesco Raimo,G. Zacheo +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the antioxidant content and the antioxidant capacity of both hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidant extracts from four “early potato” cultivars, grown in two different locations (Racale and Monteroni), were examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of oil and α‐tocopherol from almond seeds
TL;DR: In this article, the authors extract oil and tocopherols from almond seeds using supercritical carbon dioxide and compare this extraction with a traditional solvent method using a 10-l vessel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipoxygenase involvement in ripening strawberry.
Antonella Leone,Teresa Bleve-Zacheo,Carmela Gerardi,Maria Teresa Melillo,Lucia Leo,G. Zacheo +5 more
TL;DR: The experiments suggest the presence of different LOX isoforms in strawberry fruits and that the lipoxygenase-hydroperoxide lyase pathway plays a role in converting lipids to C6 volatiles during ripening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carotenoids, Fatty Acid Composition and Heat Stability of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide-Extracted-Oleoresins
TL;DR: Two S-CO2-extracted oleoresins (from tomato and tomato/hazelnut matrices), which showed an oil-solid bi-phasic appearance, a higher cis-lycopene content, and enhanced antioxidant ability compared with the traditional solvent extracts, are compared to show a good source of potentially healthful lycopene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supercritical CO2-Extracted Tomato Oleoresins Enhance Gap Junction Intercellular Communications and Recover from Mercury Chloride Inhibition in Keratinocytes
TL;DR: Analysis of the innovative S-CO(2)-extracted oleoresins showed peculiar chemical composition with high lycopene concentration and the presence of other carotenoids, lipids, and phenol compounds, and the remarkable ability to enhance the GJIC and to increase cx43 expression in keratinocytes.
