Analysis of characteristic aromas of buckwheat with different germplasm using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry combined with chemometrics and multivariate statistical analysis. Food Chem X 2024; 22:101475. [PMID: 38827020 PMCID: PMC11140191 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, the volatile components in 40 samples of Tartary buckwheat and common buckwheat from 6 major producing areas in China were analyzed. A total of 77 volatile substances were identified, among which aldehydes and hydrocarbons were the main volatile components. Odor activity value analysis revealed 26 aromatic compounds, with aldehydes making a significant contribution to the aroma of buckwheat. Seven key compounds that could be used to distinguish Tartary buckwheat from common buckwheat were identified. The orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis was effectively used to classify Tartary buckwheat and common buckwheat from different producing areas. This study provides valuable information for evaluating buckwheat quality, breeding high-quality varieties, and enhancing rational resource development.

Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 173:116395. [PMID: 38460364 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Dendrobium officinale (DEN) is recognized as a kind of functional food that can effectively ameliorate endocrine and metabolic disruptions. This study delved into the pharmacological mechanism of DEN on hepatic lipotoxicity associated with Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In vivo study experiments on db/db mice indicated that DEN treatment notably enhanced liver function, decreased blood lipid levels, and improved insulin sensitivity. Non-targeted metabolomics analysis revealed that DEN significantly ameliorated metabolism pathways, including lipoic acid, linoleic acid, bile secretion, and the alanine/aspartate/glutamate metabolism, as well as taurine and hypotaurine metabolism. Transcriptomics analysis demonstrated DEN treatment could modulate the expression of genes such as Cpt1b, Scd1, G6pc2, Fos, Adrb2, Atp2a1, Ppp1r1b, and Cyp7a1. Furthermore, Proteomics analysis indicated that the beneficial effect of DEN on lipid metabolism was linked to pathways like AMPK and PPAR signaling. The integrative analysis of multi-omics revealed that the PPAR-RXR signaling was critical to the therapeutic effect of DEN on T2DM-induced fatty liver. Additionally, in vitro study on AML-12 cells confirmed that DEN counteract PA-induced lipid accumulation by activating the PPAR-RXR pathway. Overall, these findings suggested that DEN exhibited the potential to mitigate T2DM-induced hepatic lipo-toxicity and manage lipid imbalances in T2DM.

Abstract
In recent years, chronic diseases including obesity, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders have been the leading causes of incapacity and death globally. Increasing evidence suggests that improvements of lifestyle habits and diet is the most commonly adopted strategy for the prevention of chronic disorders. Moreover, many dietary compounds have revealed health-promoting benefits beyond their nutritional effects. It is worth noting that diet plays an important role in shaping the intestinal microbiota. Coarse cereals constitute important sources of nutrients for the gut microbiota and contribute to a healthy gut microbiome. Furthermore, the gut microbiota converts coarse cereals into functional substances and mediates the interaction between the host and these components. In this study, we summarize the recent findings concerning functional components of cereal grains and their potential chemopreventive activity via modulating the gut microbiota.

Abstract
Tartary buckwheat belongs to the family Polygonaceae, which is a traditionally edible and medicinal plant. Due to its various bioactive compounds, the consumption of Tartary buckwheat is correlated to a wide range of health benefits, and increasing attention has been paid to its potential as a functional food. This review summarizes the main bioactive compounds and important bioactivities and health benefits of Tartary buckwheat, emphasizing its protective effects on metabolic diseases and relevant molecular mechanisms. Tartary buckwheat contains a wide range of bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, triterpenoids, phenylpropanoid glycosides, bioactive polysaccharides, and bioactive proteins and peptides, as well as D-chiro-inositol and its derivatives. Consumption of Tartary buckwheat and Tartary buckwheat-enriched products is linked to multiple health benefits, e.g., antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihyperlipidemic, anticancer, antidiabetic, antiobesity, antihypertensive, and hepatoprotective activities. Especially, clinical studies indicate that Tartary buckwheat exhibits remarkable antidiabetic activities. Various tartary buckwheat -based foods presenting major health benefits as fat and blood glucose-lowering agents have been commercialized. Additionally, to address the safety concerns, i.e., allergic reactions, heavy metal and mycotoxin contaminations, the quality control standards for Tartary buckwheat and its products should be drafted and completed in the future.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the protective mechanism of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with dyslipidemia in mice that were fed a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet (HFD). Results showed that oral supplementation of common buckwheat significantly improved physiological indexes and biochemical parameters related to dyslipidemia and NAFLD in mice fed with HFD. Furthermore, the HFD-induced reductions in fecal short-chain fatty acids were reversed by common buckwheat intervention, which also increased the fecal bile acid (BA) abundance compared with HFD-induced hyperlipidemic mice. Liver metabolomics based on ultraperformance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry demonstrated that common buckwheat supplementation made significant regulatory effects on the pentose phosphate pathway, starch and sucrose metabolism, primary BA biosynthesis, and so forth. The results of high-throughput sequencing revealed that common buckwheat supplementation significantly altered the structure of the intestinal microbiota in mice fed with HFD. The correlations between lipid metabolic parameters and intestinal microbial phylotypes were also revealed by the heatmap and network. Additionally, common buckwheat intervention regulated the mRNA expressions of genes responsible for liver lipid metabolism and BA homeostasis, thus promoting BA synthesis and excretion. These findings confirmed that common buckwheat has the outstanding ability of improving lipid metabolism and could be used as a potential functional food for the prevention of NAFLD and hyperlipidemia.

Intestinal Absorption and Tissue Distribution of Aza-Sugars from Mulberry Leaves and Evaluation of Their Transport by Sugar Transporters. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2020; 68:6656-6663. [PMID: 32449853 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.0c03005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Mulberry leaves are rich in aza-sugars, particularly 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), fagomine, and 2-O-α-d-galactopyranosyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (GAL-DNJ), which have antidiabetes and antiobesity properties. To help us understand the mechanisms of action of aza-sugars, pharmacokinetic studies are necessary. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated and compared the absorption and organ distribution of these aza-sugars in rats. Following oral intake, DNJ exhibited the highest plasma concentration followed by fagomine and GAL-DNJ. Meanwhile, similar amounts of DNJ and fagomine were present in organs, while GAL-DNJ was hardly detected, suggesting the diversity in absorption and distribution characteristics of these aza-sugars. We then investigated the role of the sodium-glucose cotransporter and the glucose transporter (GLUT) in the transport of aza-sugars and found that both are involved in DNJ transport, while transport of fagomine is solely facilitated by the GLUT. These findings provide insight into the bioavailability and bioactive mechanisms of these aza-sugars.
