Abstract Flavonoids, such as anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, and flavonols, are widespread plant secondary metabolites important for adaptation to diverse abiotic biotic stresses. Flavonoids can be variously hydroxylated decorated; their biological activity is partly dependent on the degree of hydroxylation B-ring. Flavonoid biosynthesis regulated by MYB transcription factors, which have been ...

preventive factors against many diseases. Polyphenols, including flavonoids for example, catechins from green tea, which have been reported to be one of the strongest radical scavengers of peroxynitrite and other radicals. Their pharmacokinetic behavior has also been extensively examined. It is therefore generally accepted that flavonoids are a major food sourced antioxidant. Anthocyanins are a...

Anthocyanin pigments and associated flavonoids have demonstrated ability to protect against a myriad of human diseases, yet they have been notoriously difficult to study with regard to human health. Anthocyanins frequently interact with other phytochemicals to potentiate biological effects, thus contributions from individual components are difficult to decipher. The complex, multicomponent stru...

There is increasing interest in natural food colorants like carotenoids and anthocyanins with functional properties. Red sorghum bran is known as a rich source for anthocyanins. The anthocyanin contents extracted from red sorghum bran were evaluated by biochemical analysis. Among the three solvent system used, the acidified methanol extract showed a highest anthocyanin content (4.7 mg/g of sorg...

• Anthocyanin content was higher in cured blood oranges followed by storage at 9 °C. Curing treatment plus °C led to a flavonoid content. This concurred with enhanced upregulation of genes from the pathway. may be used enrich flavonoids orange juice. Anthocyanins are pigments present which can enriched post-harvest cold storage. Additionally, citrus fruits contain appreciable levels other flavo...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) grain contains many health-promoting phytochemicals, including a broad range of phenolic compounds. Malting of cereal grains is known to increase the bioavailability of macro- and micronutrients. However, the detailed effects of malting on sorghum grain anthocyanins, a major class of phenolics that influence the taste and colour of sorghum-based foods, requires further...

Interest in the health-promoting properties of berry anthocyanins is intensifying; however, findings are primarily based on in vitro characteristics, leaving mechanisms associated with absorption, metabolism and pharmacokinetics largely unexplored. The present review integrates the available anthocyanin literature with that of similar flavonoids or polyphenols in order to form hypotheses regard...

background & aim: fabaceae plant family cow tail (smirnovia iranica) is one of the valuable species of native shrubs and sand dunes in the central region of iran which is consistent with the production of forage and soil conservation and creating a beautiful landscape; it has the active ingredients of medicinal values. the purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of some phytoc...
