Edible seaweeds are increasingly recognized for their potential as functional food products due to their rich nutritional profile and bioactive compounds.
packging, however this review would specifically discuss about the main film-forming proteins, strengths and limitations of each protein-based films as well as numerous studies related to rectification of these films, for the purpose of providing a beneficial overview to the scientists going forward...
The potential of natural phenol polymers in regenerative biomedicine as additives of biomaterials to promote growth and differentiation of osteoblasts is also discussed. Keywords: tannins; lignins; grape pomace; spent coffee grounds; bioinspired phenolic polymers; black foods; food supplement; animal feed...
Preservatives, irrespective of their origin and whether natural or synthetic, act through different modes of action such as: Cell wall lysis and leakage (phenols and organomercurials). Cross linkage (glutaraldehyde). Interference with the integrity of the cell membrane (EDTA, quaternary ammonium compou...
However, studies indicated that carotenoids’ antioxidant activities depend on structure, location or site of action, and potential interaction with another antioxidant, concentration, and partial oxygen pressure [9]. Among the carotenoids, β-carotene is considered one of the most important antioxidants...
of a vast array of natural plant hair dyes and summarizes the possible coloration mechanisms (direct dyeing and mordant dyeing). Current information on phytochemicals (quinones, tannins, flavonoids, indigo, curcuminoids and carotenoids) used for hair dyeing are summarized, including their botanical ...
Different biomass resources such as lignin [51,52,53,54], starch [1,55], tannins [56,57,58,59], vegetable oils [60], and proteins [21,61,62,63] are among some of the latest reported studies (Figure 1). The latter are the most abundant class of macromolecules within biobased ...
Previous studies have suggested that the regulation of signaling pathways by the redox system relies mostly on direct oxidative modifications of redox-sensitive signaling proteins. Redox regulation of neuronal survival at the transcription level, which includes alterations in transcription factors such as ...
Subsequently, aglucone may transform into toxic molecules and thus exert adverse effects on soil-borne plant pests as well as the larvae of numerous Lepidoptera pests [20,21]. Plant phenolic compounds, including simple phenols, quinones, lignins, flavonoids, tannins, etc., are not only involved...
Gallic acid has been proposed to be a candidate for treatment of brain tumours as it suppresses cell viability, proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis in human glioma cells [72], although the cytotoxic effects of tannins are generally not specific to tumour cells. Gallic acid induced HeLa ...
