Lloyd 2 1 Lipotec USA, Inc. 1097 Yates Street, Lewisville, TX 75057, USA; [email protected] 2 United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Southern Regional Research Center, 1100 Robert E. Lee Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70124, USA; [email protected] (C.C.G.); [email protected] (S.W.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-504-286-4471 Academic Editor: António Manuel Jordão Received: 11 October 2017; Accepted: 1 November 2017; Published: 25 November 2017 Abstract: Blueberry juice processing includes multiple steps and each one affects the chemical composition of the berries, including thermal degradation of anthocyanins. Not-from-concentrate juice was made by heating and enzyme processing blueberries before pressing, followed by ultrafiltration and pasteurization. Using LC–MS/MS, major and minor anthocyanins were identified and semi-quantified at various steps through the process. Ten anthocyanins were identified, including 5 arabinoside and 5 pyrannoside anthocyanins. Three minor anthocyanins were also identified, which apparently have not been previously reported in rabbiteye blueberries. These were delphinidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside), cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside), and petunidin-3-(p- coumaroyl-glucoside). Delphinidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside) significantly increased 50% after pressing. The five known anthocyanidins—cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, peonidin, and petunidin—were also quantitated using UPLC–UV. Raw berries and press cake contained the highest anthocyanidin contents and contribute to the value and interest of press cake for use in other food and non-food products. -
Graphical Abstract Circular Dichroism of Anthocyanidin 3-Glucoside Self
Graphical abstract Circular dichroism of anthocyanidin 3-glucoside self-aggregates Raquel Gavara, Vesselin Petrov, Alexandre Quintas, Fernando Pina * The circular dichroism spectra of the six most common anthocyanidin 3-glucoside show the formation of left handed aggregates compatible with dimers. The absorption bands of the monomer split by increasing concentration according to the formation of H and J aggregates. The angle and distance between the transition moments of the two monomers in the dimer was calculated from the splitting of the 0–0 absorption band. While the angle is similar for the series the distance changes dramatically. The intensity of the CD signal is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance. Highlights Q10 " The circular dichroism spectra of six common anthocyanins 3-glucosides was obtained. " Like 3,5-diglucoside analogous they exhibit left- handed CD signals. " J and H aggregates are formed by concentration increasing. " The distance of the transition moments correlate with the intensity of the CD signal. 1 1 2 Circular dichroism of anthocyanidin 3-glucoside self-aggregates a a b a,⇑ 3 Q1 Raquel Gavara , Vesselin Petrov , Alexandre Quintas , Fernando Pina 4 a REQUIMTE, Departamento de Química, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2829516 Monte de Caparica, Portugal 5 b Instituto Superior de Ciencias da Saude Egas Moniz, Centro de Investigação Interdisciplinar Egas Moniz, P-2829511 Monte de Caparica, Caparica, Portugal 6 7 article info a b s t r a c t 1 9 10 Self-association constants for the flavylium cations of the six most common anthocyanidin 3-glucosides 20 11 were determined by circular dichroism (CD) and UV–Vis spectroscopy. -

Despite their valuable food applications, Kadsura spp. are only able to grow naturally in the forest, and reproduction handled by botanists is still in progress with a very low growth rate. Subsequently, Kadsura spp. were listed as endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) in 2011. Two different Kadsura spp., including Kadsura coccinea (Lem.) A.C. Sm. and Kadsura heteroclita (Roxb.) Craib, are mostly found in northern Thailand. These rare, wild fruits are unrecognizable to outsiders, and there have only been limited investigations into its biological properties. This study, therefore, aimed to comparatively investigate the phenolic profiles, antioxidant activities, and inhibitory activities against the key enzymes involved in diabetes (α-glucosidase and α-amylase) and Alzheimer’s disease (acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and beta-secretase 1 (BACE-1)) in different fruit parts (exocarp, mesocarp (edible part), seed, and core) of Kadsura coccinea (Lem.)

Received: 22 October 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 12 December 2020 Abstract: Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom that can be categorized as flavonoids and non-flavonoids. Interest in phenolic compounds has dramatically increased during the last decade due to their biological effects and promising therapeutic applications. In this review, we discuss the importance of phenolic compounds’ bioavailability to accomplish their physiological functions, and highlight main factors affecting such parameter throughout metabolism of phenolics, from absorption to excretion. Besides, we give an updated overview of the health benefits of phenolic compounds, which are mainly linked to both their direct (e.g., free-radical scavenging ability) and indirect (e.g., by stimulating activity of antioxidant enzymes) antioxidant properties. Such antioxidant actions reportedly help them to prevent chronic and oxidative stress-related disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, among others. Last, we comment on development of cutting-edge delivery systems intended to improve bioavailability and enhance stability of phenolic compounds in the human body. Keywords: antioxidant activity; bioavailability; flavonoids; health benefits; phenolic compounds 1. Introduction Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom with around 8000 different phenolic structures [1]. -

Delphinidin and Cyanidin Exhibit Antiproliferative and Apoptotic
Integrative Cancer Science and Therapeutics Research Article ISSN: 2056-4546 Delphinidin and cyanidin exhibit antiproliferative and apoptotic effects in MCF7 human breast cancer cells Jessica Tang1,2*, Emin Oroudjev1, Leslie Wilson1 and George Ayoub1 1Department of Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA 2School of Medicine, Medical Sciences, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA Abstract Fruits high in antioxidants such as berries and pomegranates have been shown to have many biological effects, including anticancer activity. We previously reported that bilberry (European blueberry) extract exhibited cytotoxic effects on MCF7-GFP-Tubulin breast cancer cells. To delve further into the mechanism of action of bilberry extract, we focused on two of the most abundant anthocyanins found in bilberry, delphinidin and cyanidin. In this study, we examined the radical scavenging activity, antiproliferative, and apoptotic effects of delphinidin and cyanidin on MCF7 breast cancer cells in comparison to Trolox, a vitamin E analog. DPPH radical scavenging activity assay showed at 50% antioxidant activity, an IC50 of 80 µM, 63 µM, 1.30 µM for delphinidin, cyanidin, and Trolox, respectively. As determined by SRB assay, delphinidin, cyanidin, and Trolox were shown to inhibit MCF7 cell proliferation at IC50 of 120 µM, 47.18 µM, and 11.25 µM, respectively. Immunofluorescence revealed that delphinidin, cyanidin, and Trolox caused apoptotic features such as rounding up of cell, retraction of pseudopodes, condensation of chromatin, minor modification of cytoplasmic organelles, and plasma membrane blebbing. Together, these results show that delphinidin and cyanidin have significant radical scavenging activity, inhibit cell proliferation, and increase apoptosis of MCF7 breast cancer cells. -

CASTILLO2 AND C. MARDONES1. 1 Universidad de Concepción, Departamento de Análisis Instrumental, Facultad de Farmacia, Casilla 160 – C, Concepción, Chile. 2 Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Escuela Universitaria de Ingeniería Técnica Agrícola, Ronda de Calatrava 7, 13071 Ciudad Real, España. (Received: January 7, 2009 - Accepted: February 25, 2009) ABSTRACT The Copihue (Lapageria rosea), also known as the Chilean bellflower, is the national flower of Chile and is the only species in the genus Lapageria. The copihue’s tepals are commonly red, with white or pink being less common. The red color of the copihue has been glorified in legends, poems and popular songs. The present work studies the pigments that confer red copihues their characteristic color. The principal types of cyanidin present in red copihue’s tepals are cyanidin-3-O-rhamnosylglucoside, followed by cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, and while only the latter is detected in pink tepals and neither one are detected in white flowers. Based on the obtained results by HPLC-ESI-MSn and HPLC-DAD, it is concluded that rhamnosyl- and glucosyl-derivatives of cyanidin, which present respectively an absorption maximum at 518 and 516 nm, confer the characteristic red color to red copihues. Furthermore, glycosilated cyanidin derivatives, pigments derived from other anthocyanidins, were not detected in red copihue flowers even when they are present in other red flowering plants. Keywords: flower, copihue, Lapageria rosea, anthocyanins, cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside.
