Abstract:
... Sea buckthorn, a medicinal and edible plant, is rich in flavonoids, phenolics, and polysaccharides. We detected monthly variations in the contents of three types of active compounds and the antioxidant activity of leaf and fruit extracts, and explored the effects of meteorological factors on active component contents. The highest flavonoid content in leaves and fruits was in July, and this did not ...

Abstract:
... This study investigated the impact of seed coats from peas (PC) and chickpeas (CC) (at 15 % and 30 % levels) on rice-based co-extruded snacks. Using PC and CC reduced the content of soluble (29 %) and cell-wall bound phenolic acids (21 %), but it enhanced the amount and the profile of flavonoids of rice-based snacks (up to 16 times with PC), resulting in significantly higher antioxidant activity ( ...

Abstract:
... The use of metabolic fingerprinting combined with advanced chemometric tools for wine authentication has increased in recent years. Although numerous studies, showing different authentication strategies, have been published, rarely any attention has been paid to the stability of used classification models over a longer time period. Here, we present a reliable and robust metabolic fingerprinting-ba ...
... Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been found in barbecued meat products and has shown carcinogenic properties in humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vinegar (fermented vinegars and distilled vinegar) on the generation of BaP in barbecued pork sausages. The results showed that fermented vinegars and distilled vinegar could signif ...

Abstract:
... Goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) is one of the most pivotal economic crops with an exceptional nutritional value. Based on its high global consumption, understanding the fruit growth patterns and nutrient accumulation at each developmental stage is crucial for the field and production management of high-quality goji berry cultivars. In this study, a fruit growth and development model of goji berry ...
... The effect of adding pink pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) fruits during sardines canning to minimize cholesterol oxidation were investigated. Canning resulted in an exchange of fatty acids, cholesterol and cholesterol oxides between fish muscle and liquid medium (soybean oil). It also induced lipid oxidation, which was demonstrated by the degradation of fatty acids and the formation of cho ...
