As part of an avoidance diet, many folks are peddling a lectin-free food list (or so they believe) by axing many grains, vegetables, and fruits. They have suggested intolerance of them is causing weight gain, inflammation, leaky gut, and even major diseases. That might be happening with s...
Red wine contains polyphenols, which can help boost nitric oxide levels and improve blood vessel function. Drinking red wine in moderation may support heart health while increasing nitric oxide production. One Glass of Red Wine: A daily glass of red wine may help boost nitric oxide, but be min...
Chestnut skin is rich in polyphenols that have been linked to health for their antioxidant activity. However, chestnut outer-skin extract (COE), chestnut inner-skin extract (CIE), and their digested products have different compositions of polyphenols, and therefore their antioxidant activities might ...
leading to excessive consumption of unhealthy foods high in sugar and low in nutritional value. Moreover, the consequences extend beyond mere weight gain; sugar addiction has been linked to a myriad
Our current food system relies on unsustainable practices, which often fail to provide healthy diets to a growing population. Therefore, there is an urgent demand for new sustainable nutrition sources and processes. Microorganisms have gained attention a
The antioxidant values of chitosan can be further improved by adding natural antioxidants derived from plant polyphenols (Genskowsky et al., 2015; Ruiz-Navajas, Viuda-Martos, Sendra, Perez-Alvarez, & Fernández-López, 2013; Siripatrawan, 2016). The polyphenolic compounds in green tea (Camellia...
(Crimaldi et al.2017). The conditions used for cold-pressing can also affect the content of phenols and polyphenols in hemp seed oil (Faugno et al.2019). Enzyme-assisted cold pressing has been found to increase the oil extraction efficiency without compromising oil quality (Latif and Anwar...
The low GI obtained in FPR when low solvent extraction ratio is adopted could be due to the high EC and to the high total polyphenols which can negatively affect seed germination. Total polyphenols are relatively high in FPR and LPR extracts in comparison to BSG extract. Total polyphenols are...
Studies on the antioxidant mechanism of action for quercetin indicated a dual behavior, extensive to other polyphenols, able to promote antioxidant protection in membrane regions with high number of unsaturation degree in the acyl chain, being also able to perturb of phospho(sphingo)lipid/Chol ...
The stability and bioavailability of catechins, a kind of tea polyphenols with health benefit, could be improved by complexing with cyclodextrins. The aim of this study was to investigate the complexation of two geometrical isomers, (+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin, with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodex...
