SCOPE The Phenol-Explorer web database details 383 polyphenol metabolites identified in human and animal biofluids from 221 publications. Here, we exploit these data to characterize and visualize the polyphenol metabolome, the set of all metabolites derived from phenolic food components. METHODS AND RESULTS Qualitative and quantitative data on 383 polyphenol metabolites as described in 424 hu...

The forward osmosis (FO) is an emerging technique for high quality concentration of liquid foods. Polyphenols are natural compounds with important health function in fruit and vegetable juice. In this study, the impacts membrane property, feed solution (FS) pH value, draw (DS) composition concentration, fouling on rejections 9 food polyphenols by FO were investigated. Polyphenol rejection was m...

Polyphenol interactions with both cellulose and collagen in the solid state have been studied by using chromatography on cellulose and by evaluating the hydrothermal stability of the polyphenol treated sheepskin collagen. Twenty-four polyphenolic compounds were studied, including seven glucose-based gallotannins, five polyalcohol-based gallotannins, and twelve ellagitannins. In the cellulose-po...

BACKGROUND To identify associations between polyphenol intake and health and disease outcomes in cohort studies, it is important to identify biomarkers of intake for the various compounds commonly consumed as part of the diet. OBJECTIVE The objective of this systematic review was to assess the usefulness of polyphenol metabolites excreted in urine as biomarkers of polyphenol intake in humans....

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity varied in differentiation from hyphae to rhizomorph and croute in A. mellea. In undifferentiated hyphae there was not any PPO activity, while croute showed the highest activity. Electrophoresis in the presence of SDS allows the detection of intensive enzyme forms of PPO, and can also convert slower migrating enzyme forms to faster ones. Some fluorescent co...

BACKGROUND Consumption of vegetables has been proven to be effective in the prevention of different diseases. Traditionally edible aerial part of Pisum sativum L. subsp. sativum (Fabaceae) is used to treat diabetes, heart diseases and as blood purifier. Present study was aimed to explore the traditional use of aerial parts of P. sativum as a source of antidiabetic agent. In addition, antioxidan...

In an aging society, the prevalence of Alzheimer disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) has increased. It is currently hypothesized that these diseases are caused by aggregation amyloid β (Aβ) in brain human islet polypeptide (hIAPP) islets Langerhans, respectively. Therefore, disaggregation existing aggregates a promising approach to prevention treatment both diseases. our previous studies, we...
