Grape (Vitis vinifera L. var. Albariño) and mulberry (Morus nigra L.) seeds pomace were characterized in terms of tocopherols, organic acids, phenolic compounds bioactive properties. Higher contents tocopherols (28 ± 1 mg/100 g fw) obtained mulberry, whilst grape richer acids (79 4 fw). The analysis hydroethanolic extracts characterised by catechin oligomers (36.0 0.3 mg/g) ellagic acid derivat...

During the olive oil production process, certain varieties, such as ‘Hojiblanca’ and ‘Picual’, create pastes from which it is difficult to separate oil, resulting in low extraction yields. To improve extraction, one alternative addition of natural microtalcs (NMT). In present study, a NMT great purity (CaCO3 concentration less than 6 wt.%) small average particle size (ϕ ≤ 2.1 µm) was added mala...

Peanut flavor is a complex and important trait affected by raw material processing technology owing to its significant impact on consumer preference. In this research, principal component analysis (PCA) 33 representative traits associated with revealed that total sugars, sucrose, tocopherols provided more information related peanut flavor. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using 102 U.S. m...

Phenolic compounds, including propyl gallate, 1-o-galloylglycerol, ferulic, gallic, caffeic, rosmarinic, and carnosic acids, tocopherols, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), were investigated as antioxidants to improve the oxidative stability of a structured lipid (SL) produced by enzymatic acidolysis menhaden oil with caprylic stearic acids. SL had similar physical properties butterfat but was mor...

Many epidemiological studies have suggested that a low vitamin E nutritional status is associated with increased cancer risk. However, several recent large-scale human trials with high doses of α-tocopherol (α-T) have produced disappointing results. This points out the need for a better understanding of the biological activities of the different forms of tocopherols. Using a naturally occurring...

Introduction Vitamins are chemical compounds which are components of coenzymes and non-protein ingredients of enzymes. They are essential for life and normal functioning of the body. Vitamins are supplied with food as they cannot be synthesised by the body [1]. Bad diet, impaired vitamin absorption or the use of substances such as caffeine, nicotine and medicines may lead to hypovitaminosis, th...

BACKGROUND Stimulation of C3H 10T1/2 murine fibroblasts with interferon-gamma(IFN) and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) generates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leading to DNA damage, lipid oxidation, and tocopherol oxidation. The tocopherols possess unique chemical and biological properties that suggest they have important roles related to intracellular defense against radical-mediated...
