Biological Activities of Plant Food Components: Implications in Human Health

Specific heat determination of plant barrier lipophilic components: biological implications.

The specific heat of isolated plant cuticles and their corresponding cuticular waxes have been measured for the physiological temperature in the range of 273-318 K at regular intervals. C(p) values ranged from 1.5 up to 4 J K(-1) g(-1) indicating a high cohesion, at the molecular level, of the molecular lipophilic components that constitute the plant cuticle. Second order phase transitions arou...

Proanthocyanidins: Biological Activities Associated with Human Health

Proanthocyanidins, also called condensed tannins, are oligomers and polymers of monomeric flavans linked through specific single (B linkages) and double (A linkages) bonds. These secondary plant metabolites have substantial antioxidant activity. They are prevalent in some foods and dietary supplements including several berries, red grapes and their wines, and seeds, baking chocolate, cinnamon, ...

Mycotoxins in the food chain: human health implications.

Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites that can be produced in crops and other food commodities both pre- and post-harvest. When ingested, mycotoxins may cause a mycotoxicosis which can result in an acute or chronic disease episode. Chronic conditions have a much greater impact, numerically, on human health globally. Reduced growth and development, immunosuppression and cancer are chronic ...
