Martínez E, Vieira Júnior WG, Álvarez-Ortí M, Rabadán A, Pardo JE. Use of Different O/W or W/O Emulsions as Functional Ingredients to Reduce Fat Content and Improve Lipid Profile in Spanish Cured Processed Meat Product ('Chorizo'). Foods 2024; 13:2262. [PMID: 39063345 PMCID: PMC11275596 DOI: 10.3390/foods13142262] [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: 06/14/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
In this work, three out of five types of oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions were selected to replace pork backfat to reduce the fat content and the improve monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid content in dry cured sausage ('chorizo'). Different characteristics of the new product were studied: the texture profile, color, nutritional value, lipid profile, vitamin E and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and sensory qualities. The use of emulsions to replace the animal fat affected all color parameters, obtaining darker, less red and yellow products, which could impact the consumer's purchase intention. This replacement also altered the texture parameters, increasing or decreasing the hardness in comparison with the control sample. The cohesiveness, however, decreased in all cases, which meant that when the samples are cut for consumption, they disintegrated more than the traditional ones. The most relevant aspect for nutritional value is that the use of the new emulsions helped to reduce the total fat and energy value of the reformulated samples. The most significant aspect is that this reformulation helped to reduce the fat content-specifically, saturated fat-while increasing the content of Omega 3/6. The new formulas contained significant quantities of TBA and vitamin E when comparing them with the traditional product.

Five Underutilized Ecuadorian Fruits and Their Bioactive Potential as Functional Foods and in Metabolic Syndrome: A Review. Molecules 2024; 29:2904. [PMID: 38930969 PMCID: PMC11207112 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29122904] [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: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The Ecuadorian Amazon harbors numerous wild and cultivated species used as food, many of which are underutilized. This review explores the bioactive potential of five such fruits-Borojó (Alibertia patinoi); Chonta (Bactris gasipaes); Arazá (Eugenia stipitata); Amazon grape (Pourouma cecropiifolia), a wild edible plant; and Cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum)-and their applications against metabolic syndrome. This study highlights their health-promoting ingredients and validates traditional medicinal properties, emphasizing their significance in improving health and mitigating the effects of the Western diet. These fruits, integral to Ecuadorian cuisine, are consumed fresh and processed. Chonta is widely cultivated but less prominent than in pre-Hispanic times, Borojó is known for its aphrodisiac properties, Cocona is traditional in northern provinces, Arazá is economically significant in food products, and Amazon grape is the least utilized and researched. The fruits are rich in phenolics (A. patinoi, E. stipitata) and carotenoids (B. gasipaes, E. stipitata), which are beneficial in controlling metabolic syndrome. This study advocates for more research and product development, especially for lesser-known species with high phenolic and anthocyanin content. This research underscores the economic, cultural, and nutritional value of these fruits, promoting their integration into modern diets and contributing to sustainable agriculture, cultural preservation, and public health through functional foods and nutraceuticals.

CELL AND TISSUE BIOLOGY 2023; 17:306-310. [PMID: 37305102 PMCID: PMC10241116 DOI: 10.1134/s1990519x23030082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The intensity of free radical oxidation processes in vivo (a model of induced oxidative stress) was studied after a probe administration of the fruit extract of the axillary blueberry (Vaccinium axillare Nakai). \Four groups (n = 40) of white CBA line male mice weighing 20-25 g were involved in the experiment: (1) intact control; (2) introduction of a 0.9% sodium-chloride solution orally for 10 days, a dose of 10 mL/kg per day; (3) "cisplatin" group (animals received 0.9% sodium-chloride solution similarly to group 2; on the fifth day of the experiment, cisplatin was administered one time by intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 7.5 mg/kg); and (4) "cisplatin + blueberry" group (mice received orally an extract of axillary-blueberry fruits at a dose of 10 mL/kg per day for 10 days; on the fifth day of the experiment, cisplatin was administered one time by intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 7.5 mg/kg). The antioxidant activity of the axillary blueberry was studied by a method of chemiluminescence. The analysis of kinetic parameters of chemiluminescence of mouse-kidney homogenate demonstrated that, against the background of a single intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin, oxidative stress develops in animals, with its severity decreasing under the action of axillary blueberry-fruit extract. The axillary blueberry-fruit extract has pronounced antioxidant properties and can play a role in the treatment and prevention of disease associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
Natural bioactive compounds have recently emerged as a current strategy for Alzheimer's disease treatment. Carotenoids, including astaxanthin, lycopene, lutein, fucoxanthin, crocin and others are natural pigments and antioxidants, and can be used to treat a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. However, carotenoids, as oil-soluble substances with additional unsaturated groups, suffer from low solubility, poor stability and poor bioavailability. Therefore, the preparation of various nano-drug delivery systems from carotenoids is a current measure to achieve efficient application of carotenoids. Different carotenoid delivery systems can improve the solubility, stability, permeability and bioavailability of carotenoids to a certain extent to achieve Alzheimer's disease efficacy. This review summarizes recent data on different carotenoid nano-drug delivery systems for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, including polymer, lipid, inorganic and hybrid nano-drug delivery systems. These drug delivery systems have been shown to have a beneficial therapeutic effect on Alzheimer's disease to a certain extent.

Abstract
The interest in natural sources with high antioxidant powder has recently increased in several sectors. Ionic gelation methods could be used to protect bioactive substances to control the kinetics and release of these ingredients to the food matrix. This study dealt with the evaluation of the antioxidant capacity and scavenging activity of extracts of Hibiscus Sabdariffa L. (HSL) (with 50% ethanol) encapsulated in calcium alginate spheres as a new source for preserving food against oxidative damage. Their antioxidant activity was measured in different o/w emulsions in which HSL spheres reduced the formation of hydroperoxides (~80%) and thiobarbituric-acid-reactive substance products (~20%). The scavenging activity of HSL extracts was measured in different food simulants (water, water acidified with 3% acetic acid, ethanol at 50%, and pure ethanol), and corresponded to 0.20–0.43, 0.31–0.62, and 11.13–23.82 mmol Trolox/mL extract for Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assays, respectively. In general, the best antiradical activity was observed in the ethanolic and acidified mediums, in which the highest concentration of released polyphenols ranged from 0.068 to 0.079 mg GAE/mL. This work indicates the potential of alginate spheres for encapsulating antioxidant compounds as an innovative strategy for several industrial applications.

Abstract
The world population is projected to increase to 9.9 billion by 2050 and, to ensure food security and quality, agriculture must sustainably multiply production, increase the nutritional value of fruit and vegetables, and preserve genetic variability. In this work, an Apulian landrace of Cucumis melo L. called "Carosello leccese" was grown in a greenhouse with a soilless technique under light-emitting diodes (LEDs) used as supplementary light system. The obtained results showed that "Carosello leccese" contains up to 71.0 mg·g-1 dried weight (DW) of potassium and several bioactive compounds important for human health such as methyl gallate (35.58 µg·g-1 DW), α-tocopherol (10.12 µg·g-1 DW), and β-carotene (up to 9.29 µg·g-1 DW under LEDs). In fact, methyl gallate has antioxidative and antiviral effects in vitro and in vivo, tocopherols are well recognized for their effective inhibition of lipid oxidation in foods and biological systems and carotenoids are known to be very efficient physical and chemical quenchers of singlet oxygen. Finally, it was demonstrated that the LEDs' supplementary light did not negatively influence the biochemical profile of the peponids, confirming that it can be considered a valid technique to enhance horticultural production without reducing the content of the bioactive compounds of the fruits.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis have various disease-specific causal factors and pathological features. A very common characteristic of NDs is oxidative stress (OS), which takes place due to the elevated generation of reactive oxygen species during the progression of NDs. Furthermore, the pathological condition of NDs including an increased level of protein aggregates can further lead to chronic inflammation because of the microglial activation. Carotenoids (CTs) are naturally occurring pigments that play a significant role in averting brain disorders. More than 750 CTs are present in nature, and they are widely available in plants, microorganisms, and animals. CTs are accountable for the red, yellow, and orange pigments in several animals and plants, and these colors usually indicate various types of CTs. CTs exert various bioactive properties because of its characteristic structure, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Due to the protective properties of CTs, levels of CTs in the human body have been markedly linked with the prevention and treatment of multiple diseases including NDs. In this review, we have summarized the relationship between OS, neuroinflammation, and NDs. In addition, we have also particularly focused on the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties of CTs in the management of NDs.

Abstract
Lipid oxidation is the most crucial quality parameter in foods. Many methods were developed to determine the level of oxidation and antioxidant activity. This review compares the methods used to determine lipid oxidation and antioxidant capacity in foods. Lipid oxidation methods developed are based on the direct or indirect measurement of produced primary or secondary oxidation substances. Peroxide values and conjugated diene methods determine the primary oxidative products of lipid oxidation and are commonly used for plant oils and high-fat products. 2-Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and chromatographic methods are used to determine the secondary products of oxidation and are suitable for meat and meat-based products. The fluorometric and sensory analyses are indirect methods. The antioxidant capacity of additives is determined indirectly using the lipid oxidation methods mentioned above or directly based on the free-radical scavenging activity of the antioxidant compounds. Each lipid oxidation and antioxidant capacity methods use different approaches, and one method cannot be used for all foods. Therefore, selecting proper methods for specific foods is essential for accurately evaluating lipid oxidation or antioxidant capacity.
