Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced constantly inside the cells as a consequence of nutrient catabolism. The balance between ROS production and elimination allows to maintain cell redox homeostasis and biological functions, avoiding the occurrence of oxidative distress causing irre- versible oxidative damages. A fundamental player in this fine balance is reduced glutathione (GSH), required for the scavenging of ROS as well as of the reactive 2-oxoaldehydes methylglyoxal (MGO). MGO is a cytotoxic compound formed constitutively as byproduct of nutrient catabolism, and in particular of glycolysis, detoxified in a GSH-dependent manner by the glyoxalase pathway consisting in glyoxalase I and glyoxalase II reactions. A physiological increase in ROS production (oxidative eustress, OxeS) is promptly signaled by the decrease of cellular GSH/GSSG ratio which can induce the reversible S-glutathionylation of key proteins aimed at restoring the redox balance.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic data reveal the favonoid biosynthesis metabolic pathway in Perilla frutescens (L.) leaves Tao Jiang1,3, Kunyuan Guo2,3, Lingdi Liu1, Wei Tian1, Xiaoliang Xie1, Saiqun Wen1 & Chunxiu Wen1* Perilla frutescens (L.) is an important medicinal and edible plant in China with nutritional and medical uses. The extract from leaves of Perilla frutescens contains favonoids and volatile oils, which are mainly used in traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptomic and metabolomic data of the leaves of two Perilla frutescens varieties: JIZI 1 and JIZI 2. A total of 9277 diferentially expressed genes and 223 favonoid metabolites were identifed in these varieties. Chrysoeriol, apigenin, malvidin, cyanidin, kaempferol, and their derivatives were abundant in the leaves of Perilla frutescens, which were more than 70% of total favonoid contents. A total of 77 unigenes encoding 15 enzymes were identifed as candidate genes involved in favonoid biosynthesis in the leaves of Perilla frutescens. High expression of the CHS gene enhances the accumulation of favonoids in the leaves of Perilla frutescens. Our results provide valuable information on the favonoid metabolites and candidate genes involved in the favonoid biosynthesis pathways in the leaves of Perilla frutescens. Perilla frutescens (L.), which is a self-compatible annual herb, belongs to the family Lamiaceae. Tis species has been widely cultivated in China, Japan, and Korea for centuries. Perilla frutescens is an important medicinal and edible plant in China with medical and nutritional uses 1. Its leaves can be utilized as a transitional medicinal herb, as a vegetable, and as a spice, and its seeds can be processed into foods and nutritional edible oils 2.

Nevertheless such properties, their stability and bioavailability depend M. G. Miguel on their chemical structure. In the present work a brief review is made on chemical structures, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, bioavailability and antioxidant/anti -inflammatory of anthocyanins.

Bioengenharia, Universidade do Algarve, Campus de Gambelas, 8005- 139 Faro, PORTUGAL INTRODUCTION Anthocyanins are generally accepted as the largest and most important group of water- soluble pigments in nature (Harborne, 1998). They are responsible for the blue, purple, red and orange colors of many fruits and vegetables. The word anthocyanin derived from two Greek words: anthos, which means flowers, and kyanos, which means dark blue (Horbowicz et al., 2008). Major sources of anthocyanins are blueberries, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, black currants, purple grapes and red wine (Mazza, 2007). They belong to the family of compounds known as flavonoids, but they are distinguished from other flavonoids due to their capacity to form flavylium cations (Fig. 1) (Mazza, 2007). + O Fig 1. Flavylium cation. They occur principally as glycosides of their respective aglycone anthocyanidin- chromophores with the sugar moiety generally attached at the 3-position on the C-ring or the 5- position on the A-ring (Prior and Wu, 2006).

In this study, a randomized con- trolled trial helped evaluate the impact of a colorful diet on 8 healthy human adults (age 20-60) with similar demographic and dietary backgrounds. One of the daily meals of the volunteers was substituted with a hand- picked ration consisting of all colors of the rainbow in the form of a Rainbow Diet Pack (RDP). Fruits and vegeta- bles were chosen based on the exclusive molecular structure and chemical composition of the most prevalent phytonutrient(s) in each. RDP was administered daily to the intervention group (n=5) over a 10-wk interven- tion period. Weight loss, waist circumference, hand grip strength, and stress levels were measured. Analyses re- vealed that eating raspberries, oranges, carrots, broccoli, blueberries, and bananas balanced stress levels and led to weight loss, but did not impact hand-grip strength, demonstrating the healthy outcomes of a colorful diet..

  • Dietary Fiber Content and Associated Antioxidant Compounds in Roselle Flower (Hibiscus Sabdariffa L.) Beverage
    Dietary Fiber Content and Associated Antioxidant Compounds in Roselle Flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) Beverage † ‡ † SONIA G. SÁYAGO-AYERDI, SARA ARRANZ, JOSÉ SERRANO, AND ,† ISABEL GOÑI* Department of Nutrition, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain, and Department of Nutrition and Metabolism, Instituto del Frío, CSIC, Madrid 28040, Madrid Spain The beverage of Hibiscus sabdariffa flowers is widely consumed in Mexico. Polyphenols contained in plant foods are frequently associated with dietary fiber. The aim of this work is to quantify the dietary fiber, associated polyphenols, and antioxidant capacity of the Roselle flower and the beverage traditionally prepared from it and its contribution to the Mexican diet. Roselle flower contained dietary fiber as the largest component (33.9%) and was rich in phenolic compounds (6.13%). Soluble dietary fiber was 0.66 g/L in beverage, and 66% of total extractable polyphenols contained in Roselle flower passed to the beverage and showed an antioxidant capacity of 335 µmoL trolox equivalents/100 mL beverage measured by ABTS. These data suggest that Roselle flower beverage intake in the Mexican diet may contribute around 166 and 165 mg/per serving to the intake of dietary fiber and polyphenols, respectively. The health benefits from consumption of Hibiscus beverage could be of considerable benefit to the whole population.

Abstract Anthocyanins are naturally occurring compounds, member of the flavonoid groups of photochemical, involved in defense against the damaging effects of UV irradiation in plants and protect from many oxidants. The anthocyanins, group of pigments are relatively small and diverse flavonoid family in nature, and responsible for the attractive colors, red and purple to blue in many plants. Presence of pigments in flowers and fruits seems to provide attraction for pollination and aiding seed distribution, it also provides antiviral and antimicrobial activities, however their occurrence in the vacuoles remains ambiguous.

Academic Editor: Derek J. McPhee Received: 3 November 2014 / Accepted: 8 January 2015 / Published: 15 January 2015 Abstract: Astringency is one of the most important components of fruit oral sensory quality. Astringency mainly comes from tannins and other polyphenolic compounds and causes the drying, roughening and puckering of the mouth epithelia attributed to the interaction between tannins and salivary proteins. There is growing interest in the study of fruit astringency because of the healthy properties of astringent substances found in fruit, including antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antiallergenic, hepatoprotective, vasodilating and antithrombotic activities. This review will focus mainly on the relationship between tannin structure and the astringency sensation as well as the biosynthetic pathways of astringent substances in fruit and their regulatory mechanisms. Keywords: fruit astringency; tannin; biosynthesis pathway; regulation 1. Introduction Recently, the quality of fruits and vegetables has become increasingly important in people’s daily lives. Fruit quality can generally be divided into the following three components: the first is commercial quality, which includes the fruit’s outer appearance, fruit length and diameter; the second is fruit structural quality, for example, in terms of flesh thickness and cavity size; and the third is fruit sensory quality.
