Wine Lees as a Source of Antioxidant Compounds

Fungal and enzymatic remediation of a wine lees and five wine-related distillery wastewaters.

The aim of this work was to characterise wine-related wastewaters and ascertain the wastewater concentrations that were optimal for treatment by Trametes pubescens. Laccase production was also monitored. Crudely purified laccase was tested independently to determine its role in phenolic compounds degradation and colour change. The fungal treatment resulted in decreases in the wastewater chemica...

Root tubers of Lactuca tuberosa as a source of antioxidant phenolic compounds and new furofuran lignans.

From the root tubers of Lactuca tuberosa, a wild edible plant species, nine phenolic compounds were isolated, including two new furofuran lignan glucosides, named lactuberin A and lactuberin B. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, especially HRESIMS and 2D NMR techniques. This is the first time that compounds belonging to the epi series of 2,6-diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0...
