... The efficacy of red onion peel methanol extract to prevent dry rot in potato tubers caused by Fusarium sambucinum was investigated. At 20 mg mL⁻¹, the methanol extract caused a great decrease in the fungal growth and spore germination by 86.3 %, and 91.2 %, respectively. Also, the dry rot control efficacy in potato slices inoculated with F. sambucinum reached 91.8 % at the same concentration. The ...

Abstract:
... The effects of β-glucosidase on the volatile profiles and aroma stability of black tea juice were evaluated using gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry coupled with sensory analysis. During liquid fermentation of tea leaves, the addition of β-glucosidase increased the concentration of aldehydes, strengthening the undesirable “green grassy” odour. However, the “green grassy” odour was counteracted b ...

Abstract:
... Two new acylated secoiridoid glucosides, designated symplolucidins A and B, were isolated from the fruit extract of Symplocos lucida (Thunb.) Siebold & Zucc. Their structures, including their absolute configurations, were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses and chemical reactions. They were found to exhibit β-glucuronidase inhibitory effect. ...
... Balanced feeding to livestock can effectively convert the non‐edible forage crops into human food. Balanced output and input feeding systems further will result in greater animal health and production outcomes, with greater capacity to support growing global food demands. It also positively impacts the global economy and livelihood support of those entirely depending on livestock rearing. In gener ...
... A voltammetric study of a series of alkyl and aryl S-glucosides unveiled the reactivity patterns of alkyl S-glucosides toward anodic oxidation and found noteworthy differences with the trends followed by aryl derivatives. The oxidation potential of alkyl S-glucosides, estimated herein from square-wave voltammetry peak potentials (Eₚ), depends on the steric properties of the aglycone. Glucosides su ...
... A new bioactive naphthalene glucoside, named neanoside C (1), was isolated from the aerial part of Neanotis wightiana. The structure of neanoside C (1) was elucidated as 1,4-dihydroxy-2-(6′-Omethylglucopyranosyloxymethyl)-naphthalene-3-vinyloxyglucopyranoside by interpretation of the spectroscopic data, including 2D NMR and chemical studies. Neanoside C (1) was further subjected to screening for a ...
... European plum (Prunus domestica L.) is a tree cultivated in many countries for its edible fruits, and necessarily certain amounts of useless woody residues are generated every year during pruning works. The objectives of this research were to recover the phenolics present on that wood wastes and study their antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against a selection of foodborne microorganisms, i ...

... Phenolic profiles, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of hydroethanolic olive leaf extracts from six Mediterranean olive cultivars (Croatian: Lastovka, Levantinka, Oblica; Italian: Moraiolo, Frantoio, Nostrana di Brisighella) were investigated. As expected, various distributions of phenolic levels were observed for each cultivar and the total phenolic content showed high variability (rangin ...
... Passiflora species are widely used in folk medicine due to their sedative and anxiolytic activities; however, scientific studies also showed different biological activities (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antimicrobial). The present study aimed to characterize the phytochemical profile of P. cincinnata hydroethanolic extract, evaluate its antioxidant and antiglycation activities ...
... Soy isoflavones (SIs) show various health benefits, such as antioxidant and estrogenic effects. It is important to understand the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of SIs due to the close relation to their bioactivities. In this study, the antioxidant capacity, bioaccessibility, and bioavailability of 12 SIs were evaluated using radical-scavenging methods, simulations of human digestion, and Ca ...
... Phytochemical investigation of the leaves and bark of Salix babylonica L. trees yielded 11 compounds; catechol (1), methyl trans-4-hydroxycinnamate (2), luteolin (3), apigenin-7-O-β–d-(4″-p-coumaroyl) glucoside (4), populoside B (5), salicin (6), luteolin-7-O-β-d-glucoside (7), catechin (8), acmophyllin B (9), 1-O-p-coumaroyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (10) and chrysoeriol-7-O-β-d-glucuronyl methyl ester ...
... This research aimed to investigate an approach to processing more bioavailable chickpea milk by combining enzymolysis and probiotic bacterial fermentation. The regression model of three factors was established using Box–Behnken design (BBD), and the optimum technology of enzymolysis of isoflavone in specimens was determined. Moreover, the variations in isoflavone concentrations in chickpea milk pr ...
... Rhamnus alaternus (Rhamnaceae) has been used as a laxative, purgative, diuretic, antihypertensive, and depurative. However, few scientific research studies on its antimelanoma activity have been reported. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro antimelanoma effect of an enriched total oligomer flavonoid (TOF) extract, from R. alaternus, and to identify its phytochemical compounds. The chemica ...
... This research work prospects the phytochemical and biological properties of different polarity solvent (methanol, ethyl-acetate, n-hexane, and n-butanol) extracts of Trianthema triquetra Rottler & Willd. The assessment of chemical profile was done by ascertaining total bioactive contents and UHPLC-MS analysis. Similarly, biological profile was analyzed via determination of antioxidant (DPPH, ABTS, ...
... Eleven undescribed and three known pterocarpans were isolated and identified from the traditional Chinese medicine “Huang-qi”, Astragali Radix (the root of Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus (Bunge) P.K.Hsiao). The structures of these pterocarpans were determined using spectroscopic, X-ray crystallographic, quantum chemical calculation, and chemical methods. Pterocarpans, almost exclusively ...
... Fisetin (7,3',4'-flavon-3-ol) is a flavonol found in plants, fruits, and vegetables. It exhibits diverse biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. However, the low water solubility and bioavailability of fisetin restrict its pharmaceutical applications. In this work, we synthesized a novel fisetin-4'-O-α-D-glucopyranoside (FST-G1) using transglucosyl ...

Abstract:
... Glucosylglycerols (GGs) are a group of functional heterosides comprising glycerol and glucose. In nature, they are mainly produced by many moderately salt-tolerant cyanobacteria as compatible solutes in a salt-dependent manner and synthesized in a few higher plants and fermentation processes. Because of their many interesting physicochemical properties and biological activities, such as low sweetn ...
