TLDR
In two consecutive years (2006/2007 and 2007/2008), fortnightly samples were taken to characterise the antioxidant composition and fatty acid profile of acorns and grass on which Iberian pigs feed during the period of “montanera” (free-range rearing system of the south-western of Iberia Peninsula).About:

Impact of hydrothermal modifications on the physicochemical, morphology, crystallinity, pasting and thermal properties of acorn starch.
TL;DR: The solubility, swelling properties and amylose leaching of acorn starch were mostly influenced by Heat-moisture treatment (HMT), while XRD pattern of native starch (C-type) did not change on hydrothermal modifications, but native and annealing (ANN) modified starches showed the most crystallinity.

Protective effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Portulaca oleracea L. aerial parts on H2O2-induced DNA damage in lymphocytes by comet assay.
Javad Behravan,Fatemeh Mosafa,Negar Soudmand,Elahe Taghiabadi,Bibi Marjan Razavi,Gholamreza Karimi +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the aqueous extract of P. oleracea can prevent oxidative DNA damage to human lymphocytes, which is likely due to antioxidant constituents in the extract.

Antioxidant status, lipid and color stability of aged beef from grazing steers supplemented with corn grain and increasing levels of flaxseed.
TL;DR: Angus steers grazed on unsupplemented pasture, pasture supplemented with 0.7% BW cracked corn, and steaks assigned to treatments of postmortem aging time under vacuum with or without five days of aerobic exposure (AE) showed improved oxidative stability through AE, but deteriorated by adding a high flaxseed level or by extending PM.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

Colorimetry of Total Phenolics with Phosphomolybdic-Phosphotungstic Acid Reagents
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of Folin-Ciocalteu reagent rather than the FolinDenis reagent, gallic acid as a reference standard, and a more reproducible time-temperature color development period was investigated.

Polyphenols: food sources and bioavailability
TL;DR: The nature and contents of the various polyphenols present in food sources and the influence of agricultural practices and industrial processes are reviewed, and bioavailability appears to differ greatly between the variousPolyphenols, and the most abundantpolyphenols in the authors' diet are not necessarily those that have the best bioavailability profile.
