Foods are mixed with saliva in the oral cavity and swallowed. While staying in the stomach, saliva is contentiously provided to mix with the ingested foods. Because a salivary component of nitrite is protonated to produce active nitrous acid at acidic pH, the redox reactions of nitrous acid with phenolic compounds in foods become possible in the stomach. In the reactions, nitrous acid is reduce...

The saccharomicins A and B, produced by the actinomycete Saccharothrix espanaensis, are oligosaccharide antibiotics. They consist of 17 monosaccharide units and the unique aglycon N-(m,p-dihydroxycinnamoyl)taurine. To investigate candidate genes responsible for the formation of trans-m,p-dihydroxycinnamic acid (caffeic acid) as part of the saccharomicin aglycon, gene expression experiments were...

Front Cover: Caffeic acid is a component of coffee beans and bears catechol functionality. In article number 2100378 by Kotaro Satoh co-workers, caffeic acid-derived styrene monomer amenable to RAFT polymerization, which one the emerging methodologies for polymer synthesis. Combined with protection/deprotection processes, polymerization results in welldefined functional block copolymers consist...

Adina rubella Hance (AR), a plant native to Korea, has been used as traditional medicine for dysentery, eczema, intoxication, and external hemorrhages. Previous phytochemical studies of AR have reported several components, including terpenoids, phenolics, and alkaloids. The current study evaluated the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities and 5α-reductase inhibition of isolated compou...

single walled nanotubes (swnt) are common interested nanovehicle to make biosensors more sensitive.carbon nanotubes (cnts) have many distinct properties make them to be exploited to develop the nextgeneration of such nano sensors .the keto-enol tautomerization is one of the most common investigatedsubjects of isomerism in this regards, sensors are devices that are able to detect and change the ...

Using HPLC, the seasonal changes in the phenolic compound content of the leaves of the Gemlik olive cultivar (Olea europaea L) has been investigated with respect to the effects on the alternate bearing of the cultivar. For this purpose, the leaf concentrations of oleuropein, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 3-hydroxycinnamic acid, scopolin and pcoumaric acid were analyzed at 10 day intervals aro...

The objective of this study was to investigate synergistic antibacterial activity based on a combination UV-A light and three classes food grade compounds: benzoic acid derivatives, cinnamic gallates. By using Escherichia coli O157:H7 as the model strain, it observed that derivatives (ferulic acid, coumaric caffeic acid) one derivative (2,5-dihydroxybenzoic presented strong with radiation, wher...

background propolis is a natural product of bee and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (cape) is a pharmacologically important product of propolis. results cape prevented growth and proliferation of ags human gastric cancer cell line in a concentration-dependent manner with an ic50 of approximately 60 µm by a 24-hour treatment. also cape caused increased induction of apoptosis in ags cells from 1.37 ...

Chlorogenic acids (CGA) are cinnamic acid derivatives with biological effects mostly related to their antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities. Caffeoylquinic acids (CQA) and dicaffeoylquinic acids (diCQA) are the main CGA found in nature. Because green coffee is a major source of CGA, it has been used for production of nutraceuticals. However, data on the bioavailability of CGA from green c...
