... Procyanidins B2 and B1 were chemically oxidized to clarify the chemical changes in procyanidins upon oxidation. Four compounds were structurally determined and could be produced using different oxidation methods, including enzymatic oxidation with polyphenol oxidase. In the case of procyanidin B2, the different ratios of oxidized products formed in water compared with organic solvents are attribut ...

Abstract:
... B-type procyanidin dimers and (+)-catechin dimeric oxidation products were analyzed in grape seed extracts and red wines (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap MS). The different dimers had different fragmentation patterns according to their interflavan linkage position. Oxidation dimeric compounds had a specific fragment ion at m/z 393, missing for B-Type dimers fragmentations. A fragment ion at m/z 291 occurred and ...

Abstract:
... Non-enzymatic glycation of proteins can produce advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and important intermediates (α-dicarbonyl compounds such as methylglyoxal), which have potential health risks due to their association with diabetes complications. Therefore, it is of great significance to search for effective inhibitors on protein glycation. In this study, the anti-glycation potential of differ ...

Abstract:
... Hydrogel-based antibacterial materials with multi-functions are of great significance for healthcare. Herein, a facile and one-step method was developed to fabricate an injectable hydrogel (named CMCS/OPC hydrogel) based on carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and oligomeric procyanidin (OPC). In this hydrogel system, OPC serves as the dynamic crosslinker to bridge CMCS macromolecules mainly through dyna ...

Abstract:
... This work reports the evolution of polyphenolic compounds content during the cidermaking process in the Basque Country (Northern Spain). Fourteen monovarietal musts were obtained throughout three seasons (13 different, one repeated) using different apple cultivars from the Basque Country. Monovarietal musts were used to cover a wide range of polyphenolic content and to introduce variability. These ...

The polyphenols of ten Moroccan apricot clones were analyzed using a Thioacidolysis-UFLC combination technology in order to evaluate their evolution pattern and their contribution to antioxidant activity during ripening. Procyanidins were the predominant polyphenol class with concentrations varied from 30 to 1091 mg kg⁻¹ in M1 (commercial stage) and from 398 to 1411 mg kg⁻¹ in M2 (consumption stag ...

... Guava fruit is rich in phenolic compounds (PCs), whose metabolic fate has not been explored. Non-digestible carbohydrates and PCs in whole guava (WG) and seedless guava (SG) were submitted to an in vitro colonic fermentation, followed by evaluation of the anti-proliferative activity of the fermentation extracts in HT-29 cancer cell lines. The main PCs in both samples were (+)-gallocatechin and gal ...

Abstract:
... Denitrification is a major process of the nitrogen (N) cycle by converting nitrate (NO₃⁻) back to gaseous nitrogen (N₂), which leads to massive losses of N, including fertilizer N, from agricultural systems. One mitigation strategy for these N losses involves denitrification inhibition by plant-derived biological denitrification inhibitors (BDIs). Procyanidin was recently identified as a new class ...

The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of static and multi-pulsed high pressure processing (HPP) (300–600 MPa, 5–15 min) on the changes in the polyphenolic profile, polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and peroxidise (POD) activities and colour of apple juice. Content of (-)-epicatechin, procyanidin B2, phloretin isomers and phloridzin was detected using Triple-TOF-LC-MS/MS analysis. After HPP treat ...

Aromatic rice is a high-quality rice with a special aroma and popular with consumers. The 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) is a key compound of aromatic rice aroma. In the current study, aromatic rice plants were sprayed with procyanidins solut ...

... Tannat is a Vitis vinifera cultivar with typically high phenolic compound contents, showing intense coloration, well-bodied, and great aging potential. However, even with this great potential, this variety is still commercially underexplored in the Sub-middle São Francisco Valley (SSFV). This work aimed to characterize the typicity of Tannat red wines from Sub-middle São Francisco Valley (SSFV), B ...

This study hypothesized that ALA could spontaneously interact with procyanidin B2 to form protein-based complex delivery carrier. Far UV CD and FTIR data demonstrated ALA’s secondary structures were altered and intrinsic fluorescence quenching suggested ALA confo ...

Abstract:
... In the French West Indies, to cope with the yam disease anthracnose, new hybrids were selected for their resistance to this disease. However, some of them have quality flaws. The new hybrids of Dioscorea alata exhibited contrasted susceptibility to browning in relation to their total phenolic content (r = 0.91). The detailed polyphenol profiles of “INRA15”, highly susceptible to browning, and of “ ...

... Extrusion is an industrial technology allowing utilization of fruit-based off-products, rich in bioactive and prohealth compounds, in the production of gluten-free snacks. The use of up to 20% fruit waste (apple waste) in the production of such snacks results in significant increases of polyphenols and flavonoids, as well as individual phenolic acids: chlorogenic (36 times) and cryptochlorogenic ( ...
... Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) has long been considered as the key enzyme responsible for the pericarp browning of longan fruit after harvest. However, due to the overlapping substrate ranges of PPOs and laccases, the contribution of laccases in longan pericarp browning is unclear. In this study, we found that the contents of flavan-3-ols and procyanidin A2/B2 in longan pericarp decreased during brownin ...
... Nanocarriers provide the possibility to overcome the low solubility, poor stability, and low bioavailability of functional factors. However, most nanocarriers do not directly participate in the corresponding effects of functional factors, such as treating inflammatory bowel disease but lack the means to control their size accurately. Herein, nanocarriers were prepared by a one-pot method, using fo ...

The n-BuOH subextract inhibited both tyrosinase and α-glucosidase (IC₅₀ = 18.82 ± 1.13 and 25.03 ± 0.77 µg/mL, respectively) better than the positive controls kojic acid and acarbose (IC₅₀ = 58.26 ± 0.25 and 46.10 ± 2.3 µg/mL, respectively). Thus, the n-BuOH extract was selected for furth ...
