How natural dietary antioxidants in fruits, vegetables and legumes promote vascular health
TLDR
This review summarizes studies of the role of natural antioxidants found in three categories of plant-based foods (fruits, vegetables and legume) and mechanisms that these antioxidants may use in promoting cardio-health and highlights research on antioxidant synergisms.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Fruits and vegetables, as a source of nutritional compounds and phytochemicals: Changes in bioactive compounds during lactic fermentation.
TL;DR: Interactions between ingested fermented food, intestinal microbiota and their correlations to metabolomics profiles and health represent an important perspective deserving to be further explored.

New opportunities and perspectives of high pressure treatment to improve health and safety attributes of foods. A review
Francisco J. Barba,Francisco J. Barba,Netsanet Shiferaw Terefe,Roman Buckow,Dietrich Knorr,Vibeke Orlien +5 more
TL;DR: High pressure treatment has shown encouraging potential to manipulate the functionality, extractability, allergenicity and bioavailability of micronutrients and components in a diverse variety of foods, but the underlying principles and mechanisms are not yet fully understood and warrant further investigation.

Polyphenol composition, vitamin C content and antioxidant capacity of Mauritian citrus fruit pulps
TL;DR: The pulp extracts of twenty-one varieties of citrus fruits (oranges, satsumah, clementine, mandarins, tangor, bergamot, lemon, tangelos, kumquat, calamondin and pamplemousses), commonly grown in Mauritius, were characterised in terms of their total soluble solids, titratable acidity (TA), polyphenol composition and vitamin C contents as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the nutritional value of legumes and their effects on obesity and its related co-morbidities
TL;DR: A review explores the nutritional value and obesity‐related health benefits of legume consumption while focusing on pulses and shows that replacing energy‐dense foods with legumes has been shown to have beneficial effects on the prevention and management of obesity and related disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole grains and pulses: a comparison of the nutritional and health benefits.
TL;DR: In this article, a consistent inverse association between whole grain intake and the risk of chronic disease was found in a large-scale observational and intervention trial, and it was shown that the nutritional and phytochemical components of pulses coupled with those of whole grains suggest a potential synergistic effect.

DIETARY FLAVONOIDS: Bioavailability, Metabolic Effects, and Safety
Julie A. Ross,Christine M. Kasum +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation in the possible health benefits of flavonoids has increased owing to their potent antioxidant and free-radical scavenging activities observed in vitro, and there is growing evidence from human feeding studies that the absorption and bioavailability of specific flavonoid is much higher than originally believed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Free radicals, oxidative stress, and antioxidants in human health and disease
TL;DR: Assessment of oxidativedamage to biomolecules by means of emerging technologies based on products of oxidative damage to DNA, lipids, and proteins would not only advance the understanding of the underlying mechanisms but also facilitate supplementation and intervention studies designed and conducted to test antioxidant efficacy in human health and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction and analysis of phenolics in food
Marian Naczk,Fereidoon Shahidi +1 more
TL;DR: This paper provides a summary of background information and methodologies used for the analysis of phenolics in foods and nutraceuticals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidants and Atherosclerotic Heart Disease
TL;DR: There is evidence that plaque stability, vasomotor function, and the tendency to thrombosis are subject to modification by specific antioxidants, and it is speculated that these mechanisms have an important role in the benefits of antioxidants.
