••
TL;DR: It is suggested that some polyphenols are bound to macromolecular compounds that are non-dialysable, that the presented method allowed the study of free solublepolyphenols available for further uptake, and that both chemical extraction and concentrations in final digesta would overestimate polyphenol availability.
509 citations

••
TL;DR: In this paper, nine red and three black rice varieties from Thailand, China and Sri Lanka were analyzed to determine their proximate composition and their physicochemical and antioxidant properties, and four groups of rice varieties with different amylose contents were identified.
••
TL;DR: The β-LG conformation was altered in the presence of polyphenols with an increase in β-sheet and α-helix suggesting protein structural stabilisation, which can be used to explain the mechanism by which the antioxidant activity of tea compounds is affected by the addition of milk.
••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the phenolic and flavonoid contents of eight types of edible mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus, Boletus edulis, Calocybe gambosa, Cantharellus cibarius, Craterellus cornucopioides, Hygrophorus marzuolus, Lactarius deliciosus and Pleurotus ostreatus ) by means of high performance liquid chromatography.

••
TL;DR: Partially purified polysaccharides were obtained from four medicinal mushroom species, Agaricus bisporus, A. brasiliensis, Phellinus linteus and Ganoderma lucidum by hot water extraction, followed by ethanol precipitation as mentioned in this paper.
••
TL;DR: This review synthesizes the available information on fish and highlights the knowledge gaps and it is hoped that this review will provide a momentum to the research on the roles of NSPs in fish nutrition and physiology and on the efficient use of N SP-degrading enzymes.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the coacervation between soybean protein isolate (SPI) and gum Arabic (GA) for sweet orange oil microencapsulation as functions of pH, ionic strength, SPI/GA ratio, core material load and micromolecules was investigated.
••
TL;DR: In this article, the polyphenol binding mode, the binding constant and the effects of polyphenolic complexation on casein stability and conformation were determined using FTIR, UV-visible, CD and fluorescence spectroscopic methods as well as molecular modelling.
••
TL;DR: Bayberry juice was spray dried with maltodextrin as a carrier and then stored under different temperature and water activities, suggesting spray drying was a satisfactory technique for drying heat sensitive polyphenols.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, Lyophilised soluble coffees extracted by various methods from light, medium and dark-roasted arabica and robusta beans were evaluated for antioxidant activity (AA) using ABTS, Folin, DPPH and FRAP techniques.
••
TL;DR: The results showed that optimum conditions for extraction power of 60W, extraction temperature of 60°C, extraction time of 20min and ratio of water to raw material of 15:1 (ml/g) showed that UAE had the largest yield of polysaccharides.
••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the impact of various experimental factors on lipid digestion in oil-in-water emulsions, using a pH-stat method that simulates the small intestine.
