Red radish (Raphanus L.) pickles are popular appetizers or spices in Asian-style cuisine. However, tons of radish brines are generated as wastes from industrial radish pickle production. In this study, we evaluated the dynamic changes in colour properties, phenolics, anthocyanin profiles, phenolic acid composition, flavonoids, and antioxidant properties in radish brines during lactic acid ferme...

Phenols are broadly distributed in the plant kingdom and are the most abundant secondary metabolites of plants. Plant polyphenols have drawn increasing attention due to their potential antioxidant properties and their marked effects in the prevention of various oxidative stress associated diseases such as cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate a suitable method for determination...

The phenolic composition of the exocarp, hypanthium, and endocarp from three pear cultivars: Jingbai, Korla Crystal were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography method with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD), while antioxidant activities investigated using DPPH radical andABTS cation scavenging activity, FRAP. Ferulic acid, chlorogenic caffeic acid detected as major components. exocarp...

Ferulic acid may be used as a nutraceutical ingredient or substrate to produce bio-vanillin. There is an increasing market demand for ferulic obtained from natural sources such low-cost agro-industrial by-products, due its potential applications and This work aims study recovery corn fibre (one of the most abundant acid), involving integrated process hydrothermal pre-treatment followed by enzym...

Background: Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is responsible for many hazardous impacts on living organisms. We aimed to investigate the effects of EMR on kidney tissue in rats in order to predict possible effects on human kidneys and to study the radioprotective effect of ferulic acid (FA). Materials and Methods: Six rats were used as controls, six rats were used as treated group with FA, six ra...

Microbial ferulic acid decarboxylase (FADase) catalyzes the transformation of ferulic acid to 4-hydroxy-3-methoxystyrene (4-vinylguaiacol) via non-oxidative decarboxylation. Here we report the crystal structures of the Enterobacter sp. Px6-4 FADase and the enzyme in complex with substrate analogues. Our analyses revealed that FADase possessed a half-opened bottom β-barrel with the catalytic poc...

Abstract India is the largest fruit and vegetable producer. Until eaten, peel stays waste. Phenolic acids, ascorbic acid, β-carotenes, flavonoids are most bioactive components of pineapples. This one secondary plant metabolites abundantly present in pineapple skins this sample, ferulic acid. Ferulic acid a low-toxic phenolic widely used diet cosmetics. extracted using different conventional non...

The beneficial health effects of cranberries have been attributed to their (poly)phenol content. Recent studies have investigated the absorption, metabolism and excretion of cranberry (poly)phenols; however, little is known about whether they follow a dose response in vivo at different levels of intake. An acute double-blind randomized controlled trial in 10 healthy men with cranberry juices co...

Seven strains of Lactobacillus isolated from malt whisky fermentations and representing Lactobacillus brevis, L. crispatus, L. fermentum, L. hilgardii, L. paracasei, L. pentosus, and L. plantarum contained genes for hydroxycinnamic acid (p-coumaric acid) decarboxylase. With the exception of L. hilgardii, these bacteria decarboxylated p-coumaric acid and/or ferulic acid, with the production of 4...
