Abstract:
... Novel chitosan (Ch) films containing choline chloride and citric acid mixture as plasticizer (deep eutectic solvent, DES) and different amounts of quercetin (QUE) as antioxidant additive were prepared. Physicochemical and mechanical characteristics of the developed Ch/DES/QUE films were studied using FTIR, SEM, and AFM techniques. FTIR spectra revealed the possible interactions between all the com ...
... Flavonoids are associated with health benefits, but most of them have poor oral bioavailability due to their extremely low aqueous solubility. Flavonoid O-phosphorylation suggests a potent modification to solve the problems. Here, we isolated, identified and characterized an unprecedented phosphotransferase, flavonoid phosphate synthetase (BsFPS), from B. subtilis. The enzyme catalyzes the ATP-dep ...

Abstract:
... The inactivation efficacy, mechanism, and effect on apple juice properties of 405 nm blue light combined with quercetin in apple juice were investigated. At 60 J/cm², Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 cells experienced more than 5 log reduction at room temperature. The depolarized membrane potential and loss of succinate dehydrogenase enzyme activity showed that the membrane and ...
... 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 ...
... The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of dietary quercetin (Que) on growth performance and disease resistance mechanism of Litopenaeus vannamei. Shrimp were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 3 replicants in each group and 70 shrimp in each replicants. The contents of Que. in the four groups were 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1 g kg⁻¹, respectively. Samples were taken after 56 days, followed by a ...

Abstract:
... Different Physalis plants have been widely employed in traditional medicine for management of diabetes mellitus. Previous studies with respect to the in vivo antidiabetic activity of Physalis plants illustrated that they improved glucose and lipid metabolism in streptozotocin (STZ) -induced diabetic rats yet the mechanism of action of bioactive constituents of the different organs of Physalis plan ...
... The effects of quercetin treatment on enzymatic and oxidative activity, color quality and phenolic compound content of fresh-cut potatoes were investigated. To determine the effective anti-browning amount of quercetin, color change with storage was examined by making a preliminary experiment. At the end of the preliminary trial, it was determined that 25 mg/100 mL quercetin treatment kept the brow ...
quercetin, etc ; Cuphea carthagenensis; chemotaxonomy; research; sulfates; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... The purpose of the current study was a qualitative UHPLC-PDA-ESI-MS analysis of phenolic compounds in the aerial parts of Cuphea ingrata, which led to detection of over sixty constituents: tannins, flavonoids, phenolic acids and their derivatives. The presence of oenothein B-type macrocyclic dimeric ellagitannins seems to be of particular importance. Quercetin sulfate, that has been previously ide ...
quercetin, etc ; acetylcysteine; antioxidants; culture media; food chemistry; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... In this study, N-Acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) as a widely-used antioxidant was first applied to improve the stability of Que in medium. The stability of Que in medium was analyzed, and the growth-inhibition effect of Que and NAC against HepG2 cells was estimated. The results showed NAC could significantly improve the stability of Que in medium (more than 80%), while Que alone in medium was totally degr ...

Abstract:
... A process for using grape (Pinot noir) pomace to produce products with improved health-promoting effects was investigated. This process integrated a solid–liquid extraction (SLE) method and a method to acylate the polyphenolics in the extract. This report describes and discusses the methods used, including the rationale and considerations behind them, and the results obtained. The study begins wit ...

Abstract:
... A novel dual-channel sensor array based on the “off” and “off–on” phenomenon of ZnCdSe quantum dots (QDs) - KMnO₄ system was established for the effective distinguish of 30 green teas with various species, grades and origins. Starting from optimization of QDs for the construction of the sensing system, their sensitivity and selectivity performances towards 10 representative green teas were tested ...

Abstract:
... A major extrinsic factor influencing memory and neuro-cognitive performances across taxa is diet. Studies from vertebrates have shown the effects of a flavonoid rich diet on cognitive performance, but the mechanism underlying this action is still poorly understood. A common and abundant flavonoid present in numerous food substances is quercetin (Q). The present study provides the first support for ...

Abstract:
... Three flavonols, two flavones and six C-glycosylflavones were isolated from the mature leaves of the Pride of Burma (Amherstia nobilis) endemic to Myanmar. In addition, three anthocyanins were isolated from the dark red sprouting leaves of the species, together with the flavonoids in the mature leaves. They were identified as quercetin 3-O-glucoside (1), 3′-O-glucoside (2) and 3-O-xyloside (3) (fl ...

Abstract:
... We report the effects of quercetin, a flavonoid present in the human diet, on early stage beta-amyloid (Aβ) aggregation, a seminal event in Alzheimer’s disease. Molecular level changes in Aβ arrangements are monitored by time-resolved emission spectral (TRES) measurements of the fluorescence of Aβ’s single tyrosine intrinsic fluorophore (Tyr). The results suggest that quercetin binds β-amyloid oli ...

Abstract:
... Quercetin 3-O-N-acetylgalactosamine (Q3GalNAc), a derivative of dietary hyperoside, had never been enzymatically synthesized due to the lack of well-identified N-acetylgalactosamine-transferase (GalNAc-T). Herein, PhUGT, an identified flavonoid 3-O-galactosyltransferase from Petunia hybrida, was demonstrated to display quercetin GalNAc-T activity, transferring a N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from ...
