[PMID: 37107287 PMCID: PMC10135580 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12040912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Crop domestication has resulted in nutrient losses, so evaluating the reshaping of phytonutrients is crucial for improving nutrition. Soybean is an ideal model due to its abundant phytonutrients and wild relatives. In order to unravel the domestication consequence of phytonutrients, comparative and association analyses of metabolomes and antioxidant activities were performed on seeds of six wild (Glycine soja (Sieb. and Zucc.)) and six cultivated soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS), we observed a greater metabolic diversity in wild soybeans, which also displayed higher antioxidant activities. (-)-Epicatechin, a potent antioxidant, displayed a 1750-fold greater abundance in wild soybeans than in cultivated soybeans. Multiple polyphenols in the catechin biosynthesis pathway were significantly higher in wild soybeans, including phlorizin, taxifolin, quercetin 3-O-galactoside, cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, (+)-catechin, (-)-epiafzelechin, catechin-glucoside, and three proanthocyanidins. They showed significant positive correlations with each other and antioxidant activities, indicating their cooperative contribution to the high antioxidant activities of wild soybeans. Additionally, natural acylation related to functional properties was characterized in a diverse range of polyphenols. Our study reveals the comprehensive reprogramming of polyphenolic antioxidants during domestication, providing valuable insights for metabolism-assisted fortification of crop nutrition.

Flower for Evaluation of Antioxidant Activity. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11102039. [PMID: 36290762 PMCID: PMC9598477 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11102039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2022] [Revised: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The ultrasonic-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction (UAATPE) of flavonoid glycosides from Malvaviscus arboreous Cav. flower (MACF) was developed using ethanol/ammonia sulfate systems, followed by the ultrasonic-assisted acid hydrolysis (UAAH) of the top extract with HCl solution. The optimization of UAATPE and UAAH processes was accomplished by single-factor experiments and response surface methodology. As a result, the flavonoid glycosides enriched in the top phase could achieve a maximum yield of 35.9 ± 1.1 mg/g by UAATPE and were completely hydrolyzed by UAAH deglycosylation. The flavonoid glycosides and their hydrolyzates were separated and characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Ultrasonic enhancement of the extraction and hydrolysis was explored by comparative study. Furthermore, the in vitro activity of the flavonoid glycosides and the aglycones were comprehensively evaluated by antioxidant activity assays, including ferric-reducing antioxidant power and scavenging DPPH, hydroxyl, and superoxide radicals. All of the IC50 values suggest that the antioxidant activity of flavonoid aglycones was stronger than that of their glucosides and even vitamin C, revealing that the deglycosylated flavonoids from MACF were the more powerful antioxidants. This study provided an effective and eco-friendly strategy for the extraction, separation, and purification of flavonoids from MACF, as well as for the development of the potential flavonoid antioxidants.

Abstract
In order to investigate the hypolipidaemic and antioxidant effects of various dark teas produced from different post-fermentation using the same raw material, a hyperlipidaemia zebrafish model combined with binding bile salts assay and antioxidant assays were performed in this study. Results showed that the hypolipidaemic effect of dark tea extracts increased significantly (p < 0.05) while the antioxidant ability decreased sharply compared with raw material. Particularly, Liupao tea (50%) and Pu-erh tea (48%) showed promising hypolipidaemic potential; however, the antioxidant capacity of Pu-erh tea decreased (31-49%) most dramatically. Besides, the levels of total polyphenols and catechins decreased sharply, but theabrownin, gallic acid, and caffeine increased significantly after post-fermentation. Moreover, the potential mechanisms of regulating hyperlipidaemia by dark tea extracts were discussed. These results suggest that microbial fermentation significantly affects the bioactivity of dark teas, and provide theoretical basis for processing and improving of dark tea products for hyperlipidaemia therapy.

Abstract
Tea flavonoids are widely recognized as critical flavor contributors and crucial health-promoting bioactive compounds, and have long been the focus of research worldwide in food science. The aim of this review paper is to summarize the major progress in tea flavonoid chemistry, their dynamics of constituents and concentrations during tea processing as well as storage, and their health functions studied between 2001 and 2021. Moreover, the utilization of tea flavonoids in the human body has also been discussed for a detailed understanding of their uptake, metabolism, and interaction with the gut microbiota. Many novel tea flavonoids have been identified, including novel A- and B-ring substituted flavan-3-ol derivatives, condensed and oxidized flavan-3-ol derivatives, and glycosylated and methylated flavonoids, and are found to be closely associated with the characteristic color, flavor, and health benefits of tea. Flavoalkaloids exist widely in various teas, particularly 8-C N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinone-substituted flavan-3-ols. Tea flavonoids behave significantly difference in constituents and concentrations depending on tea cultivars, plantation conditions, multiple stresses, the tea-specified manufacturing steps, and even the long-term storage period. Tea flavonoids exhibit multiple health-promoting effects, particularly their anti-inflammatory in alleviating metabolic syndromes. Interaction of tea flavonoids with the gut microbiota plays vital roles in their health function.

Abstract
The conversion of raw fruits and vegetables, including tomatoes into processed food products creates side streams of residues that can place a burden on the environment. However, these processed residues are still rich in bioactive compounds and in an effort to valorize these materials in tomato by-product streams, the main aim of this study is to extract proteins and identify the main phenolic compounds present in tomato pomace (TP), peel and skins (TPS) by HPLC-DAD-ESI-QTOF. Forty different phenolic compounds were identified in the different tomato extracts, encompassing different groups of phenolic compounds, including derivatives of simple phenolic acid derivatives, hydroxycinnamoylquinic acid, flavones, flavonones, flavonol, and dihydrochalcone. In the crude protein extract (TPE) derived from tomatoes, most of these compounds were still present, confirming that valuable phenolic compounds were not degraded during food processing of these co-product streams. Moreover, phenolic compounds present in the tomato protein crude extract could provide a valuable contribution to the required daily intake of phenolics that are usually supplied by consuming fresh vegetables and fruits.

Abstract
Flavonoids have been attracting increasing research interest because of their multiple health promoting effects. However, many flavonoids with similar structures are present in foods, often at low concentrations, which increases the difficulty of their separation and identification. Liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) has become one of the most widely used techniques for flavonoid detection. LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS can achieve highly efficient separation by LC; it also provides structural information regarding flavonoids by Q-TOF-MS/MS. This review presents a comprehensive summary of the scientific principles and detailed methodologies (e.g., qualitative determination, quantitative determination, and data processing) of LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS specifically for food flavonoids. It also discusses the recent applications of LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS in determination of flavonoid types and contents in agricultural products, changes in their structures and contents during food processing, and metabolism in vivo after consumption. Moreover, it proposes necessary technological improvements and potential applications. This review would facilitate the scientific understanding of theory and technique of LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS for flavonoid detection, and promote its applications in food and health industry.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of the current study is to investigate the chemical composition, cytotoxic effect, and leishmanicidal activity of propolis collected in the semi-arid region of Bahia, Brazil. Methods: EtOH extract, hexane, EtOAc and MeOH fractions from propolis were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The identification was based on the exact mass, general fragmentation behaviors and UV absorption of the flavonoids. The in vitro cytotoxic effect and leishmanicidal activity of ethanolic extract, hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanolic fractions of propolis were evaluated. Results: Five triterpenes and twenty-four flavonoids were identified. The propolis did not present toxicity to the host cell up to the maximum concentration tested. In addition, all tested samples showed statistically significant activity against promastigotes of Leishmania chagasi and Leishmania amazonensis. Regarding the activity against amastigote forms of L. amazonensis, the hexane fraction, presented statistically significant activity with IC50 of 1.3 ± 0.1 μg/ml. Conclusion: The results support the idea that propolis can be used for future antileishmania studies.

Abstract
In the present study, we produced Pu-erh, Liubao, Qingzhuan, and Fuzhuan teas using a single raw tea material and applied widely targeted metabolomics to study the impact of various microbial-fermented methods on the chemical profile of dark tea. The contents of catechins and free amino acids decreased drastically, whereas the contents of gallic acid and theabrownins increased significantly during microbial fermentation. Pu-erh tea had the highest content of theabrownins (11.82 ± 0.49%). Moreover, MS-based metabolomics analysis revealed that the different types of dark teas were significantly different from their raw material. A total of 85 differential metabolites were screened among 569 metabolites identified referring to self-compiled database. Glycosylated, hydroxylated, methylated, and condensed and oxidated products originating from microbial bioconversion of their corresponding primitive forms were significantly increased in dark teas. These results suggest that various microbial-fermented methods greatly affect the metabolic profile of dark tea, which can provide useful information for dark tea biochemistry research.

Abstract
A microscale discontinuous fermenter was used for anaerobic digestion of wine waste - a hardly gasifiable feedstock material. Efficiency of biogas production, i.e. changes in content of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and methane in gas phase, was monitored by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Liquid chromatography/high resolution tandem mass spectrometry in combination with principal component analysis and orthogonal projection to latent structures was used to reveal main chemical differences of gasified wine waste mixture from commonly used ones in agricultural biogas plants. Compounds with particular polyphenolic structures appeared among the most distinctive markers. Analysis of samples collected during acidogenic phase and unstabilized methanogenesis indicates formation of certain dihydro-flavonoids in early stages of the process and their consequent degradation. Due to formerly described higher toxicity of some dihydroflavonoids (e.g. taxifolin) compared to their more common counterparts (e.g. quercetin, malvidin etc.), unstabilized digestate would represent a potential environmental risk when used as a fertilizer deserving a proper control.

Abstract
Over the last decade, the number of studies reporting the use of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in combination with collision cells (or other activation methods) to promote fragmentation of synthetic and natural products for structural elucidation purposes has considerably increased. However, the lack of a systematic compilation of the gas-phase fragmentation reactions subjected to ESI-MS/MS conditions still represents a challenge and has led to many misunderstood results in the literature. This review article exploits the most common fragmentation reactions for ions generated by ESI in positive and negative modes using collision cells in an effort to stimulate the use of this technique by non-specialists, undergraduate students and researchers in related areas.

Abstract
NH3-plasma treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (pn-MWCNTs) were prepared based on the plasma technique and developed as sensing materials for detection of quercetin and kaempferol with the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and amperometric measurement. Such experimental parameters as pH values, accumulation potential and accumulation time were carefully investigated. The pn-MWCNTs modified electrode (pn-MWCNTs/GCE) was further explored for the analysis of quercetin and kaempferol in diluted blood serum and average recovery rates of 96.91 and 100.5% were obtained, respectively. In addition, the interference and stability measurements were evaluated under the optimized experimental conditions. More importantly, selective detection toward quercetin and kaempferol was achieved, and the proposed electrochemical sensing strategy was available to distinguish substances with similar oxidation potential.

Abstract
RATIONALE Neopanaxadiol (NPD) is one of the major ginsenosides in Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (Araliaceae) that has been suggested to be a drug candidate against Alzheimer's disease. However, few data are available regarding its metabolism in rats. METHODS In this study, a method of ultraperformance liquid chromatography/quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/QTOFMS) was developed to identify major metabolites of NPD in the stomach, intestine, urine and feces of rats, with the aim of determining the main metabolic pathways of NPD in rats after oral administration. RESULTS UPLC/QTOFMS revealed two metabolites in the stomach of rats, one metabolite in the intestine and two metabolites in feces. One metabolite, named M2, was isolated and purified from rats feces, which was identified as (20S,22S)-dammar-22,25-epoxy-3β,12β,20-triol based on extensive NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry data. The main metabolites of NPD in rats were the products of epoxidation, dehydrogenation and hydroxylation. NPD was predominantly metabolized by 20,22-double-bond epoxidation and rearrangement to yield an expoxidation product (M2). CONCLUSIONS Based on the profiles of the metabolites, possible metabolic pathways of NPD in rats were proposed for the first time. This study provides new and available information on the metabolism of NPD, which is indispensable for further research on metabolic pathways of dammarane ginsengenins in vivo.

Abstract
Physalins, uniquely discovered from genus physalis, showed significant bioactivities in many aspects. It is therefore very important for the exploration of natural resources rich of physalins. However, there is no efficient approach for rapid discovery and identification of this class of compounds due to their structural complexity. To address the issue, the fragmentation pathways and correspondingly fragmentation rules of physalins in negative MS/MS mode were thoroughly investigated in this study using seven physalin standards. As a result, diagnostic ions for the rapid screening of physalins and classification of different types of physalins were determined based on their MS/MS fragmentation patterns. On top of that, an integrated approach using UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS together with a novel three-step data mining strategy was developed for the systematic analysis of physalins in complex samples. Consequently, 46 physalins including 20 novel ones were efficiently discovered and identified from the crude extracts of Ph. alkekengi calyx. The present study laid a foundation for future study of different parts of Ph. alkekengi and other physalis species with regard to rapid discovery of novel physalins. In addition, this study provided a base for establishing a quality control method of the raw materials of Ph. alkekengi according to the profile of physalins.

Abstract
Chin-shin oolong tea, a popular tea in Taiwan, was empirically perceived to induce hunger and accelerate gastric emptying in a manner similar to the physiological effects of ghrelin, an endogenous acylated peptide known as the hunger hormone. Two unique acylated flavonoid tetraglycosides previously identified in Chin-shin oolong tea were demonstrated to induce hunger of rats in a food intake assay and, thus, named teaghrelin-1 and teaghrelin-2. Similar to GHRP-6, a synthetic analogue of ghrelin, teaghrelin-1 stimulated growth hormone secretion of rat primary anterior pituitary cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the stimulation was inhibited by [D-Arg(1),D-Phe(5),D-Trp(7,9),Leu(11)]-substance P, an antagonist of the ghrelin receptor. While teaghrelin-2 remained unmodified, a meta-O-methylated metabolite of teaghrelin-1 was detected in bile of rats after intravenous injection. Presumably, teaghrelins are promising oral agonists of the ghrelin receptor.
