Microencapsulated Asiatic Pennywort (Centella asiatica) fortified chocolate oat milk beverage: Formulation, polyphenols content, and consumer acceptability. J Food Sci 2024. [PMID: 39138633 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the use of microencapsulated Asiatic pennywort (Centella asiatica) (CA) as a functional ingredient to formulate a novel chocolate oat milk beverage. The main objectives of the study were to characterize and encapsulate bioactive components from CA and to determine the polyphenol content and sensory properties of the beverage. CA extract was microencapsulated using maltodextrin and gum Arabic as carriers and subsequently freeze-dried to produce microcapsules. Microencapsulated CA was incorporated into chocolate oat milk at varying concentrations. Polyphenol content of the beverages was quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Consumer acceptability and sensory perception of the beverages were evaluated through an acceptance test and a check-all-that-apply test, respectively, to assess the sensory characteristics of the chocolate oat milk beverage. CA fortified chocolate oat milk contained fourteen polyphenols. Increasing the concentration of microencapsulated CA led to an increase in the polyphenol content of the beverage. Among the identified polyphenols, asiatic acid and asiaticoside stood out as the unique and most abundant compounds in CA (p < 0.05). Additionally, the incorporation of cocoa powder into the beverage further contributed to the polyphenol content, introducing bioactive compounds such as benzoic acid, caffeic acid, catechin, chlorogenic acid, kaempferol, luteolin, madecassic acid, p-coumaric acid, and quercetin. Evaluation of consumer acceptability revealed that chocolate oat milk beverages containing 2% and 4% microencapsulated CA were liked by consumers. However, beverages with higher concentrations of CA were perceived as less acceptable, characterized by grassy, bitter, and earthy attributes. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the potential of microencapsulated CA as a functional ingredient in chocolate oat milk beverages. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study reveals new insights on the microencapsulation of bioactive compounds in CA, proposing its potential as a novel functional ingredient in food and beverage applications in Western markets. The study revealed microencapsulated CA retained polyphenols in CA including asiatic acid and asiaticoside responsible for its bioactive properties. Consumer perception of CA added to oat milk revealed that it can be added at an acceptable level of 4%; however, higher amounts can decrease consumer acceptability. As practitioners explore the incorporation of CA as a functional component in food products, it is crucial to explore preservation techniques for the sensitive bioactive components while balancing the optimal amount of CA to enhance overall consumer liking.

Abstract
Schisandra sphenanthera Rehd. et Wils., as a traditional Chinese medicine, has important medicinal value. In the market, the availability of the fruit of S. sphenanthera mainly relies on wild picking, but many canes and leaves are discarded during wild collection, resulting in a waste of resources. The canes and leaves of S. sphenanthera contain various bioactive ingredients and can be used as spice, tea, and medicine and so present great utilization opportunities. Therefore, it is helpful to explore the effective components and biological activities of the canes and leaves to utilize S. sphenanthera fully. In this study, the response surface method with ultrasound was used to extract the total triterpenoids from the canes and leaves of S. sphenanthera at different stages. The content of total triterpenoids in the leaves at different stages was higher than that in the canes. The total triterpenoids in the canes and leaves had strong antioxidant and antibacterial abilities. At the same time, the antibacterial activity of the total triterpenoids against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was stronger than that against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. This study provides the foundation for the development and utilization of the canes and leaves that would relieve the shortage of fruit resources of S. sphenanthera.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117189. [PMID: 37716490 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Guben Xiezhuo Decoction (GBXZD) is an herbal compound used to treat chronic kidney disease (CKD) under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Its main components are Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge, Codonopsis pilosula (Franch.) Nannf., Centella asiatica (L.) Urb., Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Cuscuta chinensis Lam., and Rheum palmatum L.. Clinical studies have shown that it can relieve fatigue, nausea and other symptoms and improve kidney function in patients; however, its specific mechanism of action requires further study. AIM OF THE STUDY Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is the ultimate characteristic manifestation of various CKD, that cannot be cured, and appropriate treatments to delay its progression require further exploration. GBXZD, widely used in clinical practice for RIF treatment, can effectively relieve the syndrome in patients with CKD. However, the specific mechanism of action of GBXZD in RIF is unknown and requires further study. This study aimed to explore the specific effects of GBXZD on RIF through the regulation of M1 macrophages. MATERIALS AND METHODS An in vivo RIF model was obtained through unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), and the Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operation, UUO, UUO + GBXZD-low dose (GBXZD-L) and UUO + GBXZD-high dose (GBXZD-H) groups. Pathological changes in rat kidney specimens were observed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Masson staining. The expression of collagen I (COL I), fibronectin (FN), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was detected using immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of CD86 and inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) in kidney tissue. An in vitro experiment was performed using M1 polarization model in RAW264.7 macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cells were divided into control, LPS, LPS + GBXZD-low dose (GBXZD-L) and LPS + GBXZD-high dose (GBXZD-H) groups. The changes in expression of CD86, iNOS, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were measured using western blotting, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We analyzed the action pathway of GBXZD in regulating M1 polarization of macrophages using antibody microarray and verified the results using western blotting. RESULTS Histopathological results showed that the UUO group exhibited significant fibrotic injury compared to the sham group. After GBXZD treatment, the degree of kidney injury, RIF, and inflammatory factor expression were lower than those in the UUO group. Compared with LPS-treated cells, the expression of the M1 markers CD86, iNOS, and pathway proteins Raf1 and p-Elk1 was down-regulated in RAW 264.7 cells treated with LPS and GBXZD. The secretion of the inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the LPS group was more than that in the control group. However, the levels of these factors were significantly reduced in the GBXZD-H group compared to those in the LPS group. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that GBXZD ameliorates RIF and inhibits the inflammatory response and macrophage M1 polarization by a potential mechanism related to the downregulation of Raf1 and p-Elk1. GBXZD therefore has therapeutic potential value for patients with CKD.

Abstract
Centella asiatica (CA) is a culinary vegetable and well-known functional food that is widely used as a medicinal herb and dietary supplement. CA is rich in pentacyclic triterpenes (TTs), including asiaticoside (AS), madecassoside (MS) and the related aglycones asiatic acid (AA), madecassic acid (MA). Traditionally, TTs have been associated with the bioactivity and health promoting effect of CA. Recently, mono-caffeoylquinic acids (MonoCQAs) and di-caffeoylquinic acids (DiCQAs) have been found to contribute to the bioactivity of CA as well. This work reports an analytical strategy based on liquid chromatography coupled to multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (LC-MRM-MS) for the simultaneous rapid and accurate quantification of 12 bioactive compounds in CA, namely AS, MS, AA, MA, 5-CQA, 4-CQA, 3-CQA, 1,3-DiCQA, 3,4-DiCQA, 1,5-DiCQA, 3,5-DiCQA, 4,5-DiCQA. Method selectivity, accuracy, precision, repeatability, robustness, linearity range, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were validated. The validated LC-MRM-MS method has been successfully applied to quantify the 12 bioactive compounds in CA aqueous extracts and two related formulations: a standardized CA product (CAP) used in a phase I clinical trial and formulated CA rodent diets used in preclinical studies. The validated method allows us to support the standardization of CA products used for clinical trials and conduct routine LC-MRM-MS analyses of formulated preclinical diets to confirm correct levels of CA phytochemical markers.

Simultaneous determination of four active compounds in Centella asiatica by supramolecular solvent-based extraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1708:464298. [PMID: 37660564 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.464298] [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: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, a new and rapid method for determining four bioactive compounds of Centella asiatica (C. asiatica) in herbs was developed based on high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Supramolecular solvent (SUPRAS), formed by n-hexanol, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water, was used for extracting madecassoside (MS), asiaticoside (AS), asiatic acid (AA) and madecassic acid (MA) from herbs. The sample was extracted with 4 mL of SUPRAS for 5 min. Then centrifugation was performed for phase separation followed by direct analysis by HPLC-MS/MS. Driving forces for the extraction of herbs in the SUPRAS involved both dispersion and hydrogen bond interactions. The effect of the parameters, including compounds of supramolecular solvents, dosage and vortex time, on the extraction efficiency was investigated. The recoveries were carried out at three levels with spiked samples and in the range of 91.6%-99.9%, with relative standard deviations between 1.7%-7.9%. The novel SUPRAS method, coupled with HPLC-MS/MS, was proved to be efficiency, green, and sensitive. It was applied for determination of four target compounds in herbs.

Abstract
Jinmu-tang (JMT) is a traditional herbal medicine consisting of five herbal medicines: Poria cocos Wolf, Paeonia lactiflora Pallas, Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Atractylodes japonica Koidzumi, and Aconitum carmichaeli Debeaux. In this study, the JMT components were profiled using UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS, and 23 compounds were identified and characterized. In addition, UPLC-TQ-MS/MS analysis was performed in the positive and negative ion modes of an electrospray ionization source for the simultaneous quantification of the identified compounds. The multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) method was established to increase the sensitivity of the quantitative analysis, and the method was verified through linearity, recovery, and precision. All analytes showed good linearity (R2 ≤ 0.9990). Moreover, the recovery and the relative standard deviation of precision were 86.19-114.62% and 0.20-8.00%, respectively. Using the established MRM analysis method, paeoniflorin was found to be the most abundant compound in JMT. In conclusion, these results provide information on the constituents of JMT and can be applied to quality control and evaluation.

Abstract
This study identified the constituents of purified flavonoid (PEF) isolated from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum and examined their inhibitory effects on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and non-enzymatic glycosylation. More than 30 kinds of flavonoid compounds were identified in M. crystallinum, including tangeretin, nobiletin, farrerol, protocatechuic aldehyde, diosmin, and rutin. Moreover, tangeretin corresponds to approximately 51% of the total identified flavonoids. PEF had a low IC50 value for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals (DPPH·), hydroxyl radical (·OH), and superoxide anion free radical (O2-·) scavenging. They were found to effectively delay and inhibit the production of conjugated diene (CD) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) during LDL oxidation. Meanwhile, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the LDL oxidation incubation system with PEF showed a smooth and dense surface, with no obvious cavitation phenomenon. Furthermore, PEF effectively inhibited the production of LDL glycosylation products and showed a strong inhibitory effect in the latter stage. The electrophoresis of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) further confirmed that PEF can effectively prevent the cross-linking between glucose and proteins, protecting LDL from glycosylation-induced damage.
