The popularity of edible flowers is increasing day by and new solutions are sought due to their short shelf life. For this purpose, in study, four different colors Viola × wittrockiana Gams.; white (Fino Clear White), orange (Delta Pure Orange), bordeaux/mauve rose (Mammoth Rocky Rose), yellow Premium Lemon) were dried at drying air temperature 60, 70, 80 °C with a convective hot dryer. Color (...

The wine industry produces large amounts of grape pomace (GP), a waste that needs to be disposed properly. Bioactive compounds with high added value can recovered from GP as an interesting strategy reduce the environmental impact. Here, two different technologies were employed recover polyphenol GP: microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG) ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). further purific...

Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum L.) is a small Solanaceae shrub with medicinal and edible homology, widely used as ethnobotanical medicine nutraceutical food. The wolfberry fruits mainly have red, purple, yellow phenotypes. Wolfberries are rich in flavonoids, which natural water-soluble pigments that endow variety of colors plants There very few investigations on mechanism flavonoids biosynthesis fr...

Determining the harvest date of table grapes is very important to achieve high-quality bunches with adequate soluble solids content, low titratable acidity, and high concentrations polyphenols. Table grape consumption has increased worldwide due its phenolic compound content beneficial effects on human health. Thus, this study aimed characterize ripening ‘BRS Vitoria’ seedless at different stag...

Styrax japonicus is a small ornamental tree with medicinal value. An S. variety purplish red calyxes and white petals has higher The mechanism underlying calyx pigmentation in still unclear. In this study, metabolome data combined transcriptome profiling were used to explore the molecular mechanisms difference color of two varieties japonicus, namely, Red Linglong (RA; calyx) Green (GA; green c...

Epidemiological studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables has a beneficial preventive effect on cardiovascular diseases and cancer by mechanisms that have not yet been elucidated. In this work, we investigated the antiangiogenic activities of anthocyanidins, a class of polyphenols present at high levels in fruits. Among the tested anthocyanidins (cyanidin, delphinidin, malvid...

The objectives of this study were to identify the antioxidants in acid hydrolysates of six of Taiwan’s indigenous purple-leaved vegetables (IPLV), including purple-leaved sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lamark), purple-leaved gynura line 1 (Gynura bicolor D.C.), purple-leaved gynura line 2 (Gynura bicolor D.C.), purple-leaved perilla line 1 (Perilla frutescents L. Britton), bicolored-leaved pe...

Anthocyanins were extracted from a mixture of berries of Vaccinium angustifolium and Vaccinium myrtilloïdes at 7.7 degrees C, 26 degrees C, and 79 degrees C using ethanol alone or ethanol acidified with hydrochloric, citric, tartaric, lactic, or phosphoric acids at a solvent to solid ratio of 10. The effect of these parameters on extracted anthocyanins stability was investigated. The pH-differe...

In recent years, the importance of wine authenticity specification has significantly influenced the world wine market. Nowadays, the importance of terroir is emphasised worldwide. Also in European countries, where varietal wines are produced predominantly, the wine authenticity is given an increasing attention. Anthocyanin pigments represent an important group of phenolic substances that are us...

We examined the effects of anthocyanidins (cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, peonidin, petunidin, pelargonidin) on the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-CYP1A1 signaling pathway in human hepatocytes, hepatic HepG2 and intestinal LS174T cancer cells. AhR-dependent reporter gene expression in transfected HepG2 cells was increased by pelargonidin in a concentration-dependent manner at 24h. Similarly,...
