Pomegranate peel phenolics: Microencapsulation, storage stability and potential ingredient for functional food development

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of microencapsulation conditions on product quality of pomegranate peel phenolics were investigated and the results indicated an optimum air inlet temperature of 160°C and 1/1 or 1/3 (w/w) for phenolics/maltodextrin ratio.

Inhibitory kinetics and mechanism of kaempferol on α-glucosidase

TL;DR: It was proposed that kaempferol may interact with some amino acid residues located within the active site of α-glucosidase, occupying the catalytic center of the enzyme to avoid the entrance of p-nitrophenyl-α-D- glucopyranoside and ultimately inhibiting the enzyme activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization for ultrasound extraction of polysaccharides from mulberry fruits with antioxidant and hyperglycemic activity in vitro.

TL;DR: The MFP-1 exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity, while M FP-2 showed the strongest hyperglycemic activity in vitro, which may be caused by their different compositions and physical properties in the different mulberry fruit polysaccharides fractions.

Effect of different drying methods on the product quality and bioactive polysaccharides of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) slices.

TL;DR: Three drying methods, namely, hot-air drying, freeze drying (FD), and infrared radiation drying (ID), were applied to dry bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) slices showed that the drying methods had significant influences on appearance, color, rehydration ratio, and microstructure of dried bitter gOURd.

Antidiabetic and antiparasitic potentials: Inhibition effects of some natural antioxidant compounds on α-glycosidase, α-amylase and human glutathione S-transferase enzymes

TL;DR: These molecules can be elective inhibitors of GST, α-glycosidase and α-amylase enzymes as antidiabetic and antiparasitic agents and demonstrate effective inhibitor compounds with Ki values in the range of 8.34-40.78 μM against GST, and 120.53-892.36 nM against α- Glycosid enzyme.

Potential toxicity of flavonoids and other dietary phenolics: significance for their chemopreventive and anticancer properties.

TL;DR: The current knowledge regarding potential dietary flavonoid/phenolic-induced toxicity concerns, including their pro-oxidant activity, mitochondrial toxicity (potential apoptosis-inducing properties), and interactions with drug-metabolizing enzymes are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of antioxidant capacity in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: The available methods are critically reviewed on the basis of the mechanisms and dynamics of antioxidant action, and the methods are proposed to assess the capacity of radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation both in vitro and in vivo.
