Évaluation De L'impact De L'ajout De Flocons De Macroalgues Sur Le Évaluation de l’impact de l’ajout de flocons de macroalgues sur le développement et la bioactivité d’un fromage fonctionnel de type Camembert Mémoire Attara HELL Maîtrise en Sciences et technologie des aliments Maître ès sciences (M. Sc.) Québec, Canada © Attara HELL, 2017 Évaluation de l’impact de l’ajout de flocons de macroalgues sur le développement et la bioactivité d’un fromage fonctionnel de type Camembert Mémoire Attara HELL Sous la direction de : Lucie Beaulieu, directrice de recherche Steve Labrie, codirecteur de recherche Résumé Les macroalgues Palmaria palmata et Saccharina longicruris sont riches en nutriments et contiennent des molécules antioxydantes ainsi que des inhibiteurs de l’enzyme de conversion de l’angiotensine (ECA). C’est également le cas du fromage de type Camembert. Cependant, l’impact de la combinaison de ces deux aliments sur la bioactivité globale est inconnu. Une analyse de la composition nutritionnelle des algues montre que P. palmata était la plus riche en protéines et en sucres totaux. S. longicruris avait un contenu plus élevé en fibres totales, minéraux totaux, sodium, potassium et lipides. Les capacités antioxydante et inhibitrice de l’ECA de l’extrait soluble > 1 kDa de S. longicruris étaient supérieures à celle de P. palmata. Trois différents traitements de fromages modèles ont été étudiés : un contrôle (CC), un modèle contenant 2 % de P. palmata (C2PP) et un autre contenant 2 % de S. longicruris (C2SL). Durant l’affinage (20 jours), l’évolution du pH du caillé des trois traitements était significativement similaire, partant de 4,89 et terminant à 6,77. La même tendance a été observée pour la capacité antioxydante (ORAC), débutant de 0 pour finir à 41,28 mmol TE/g de fromage. La capacité inhibitrice de l’ECA des trois traitements était significativement similaire au jour 0 (13,20%) et au jour 20 (58,27%). Par contre, C2SL n’avait pas la même courbe d’évolution que CC et C2PP. Ces résultats ont permis de valider la richesse nutritionnelle et des bioactivités des macroalgues. Aucun changement n’a été observé sur le développement et la bioactivité finale des deux fromages aux algues. iii Abstract Seaweeds Palmaria palmata and Saccharina longicruris have high nutritional value and contain antioxidants and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitor compounds. This is also applicable to Camembert-type cheese. However, the impact of combining these two foods on the global bioactivity is unknown. The nutritional composition of the two dried seaweeds was characterized. P. palmata had the highest protein and total carbohydrate contents. S. longicruris had the highest contents in total fiber, total minerals, sodium, potassium and lipids. The antioxidant capacity (ORAC) and ACE-inhibitor activity of S. longicruris soluble extract > 1 kDa were higher than P. palmata. Three different types of cheese were studied: cheese control (CC) without seaweeds, cheese with 2% of P. palmata (C2PP) and cheese with 2% of S. longicruris (C2SL). During ripening (20 days), the curd pH of all treatments was significantly similar, starting from 4.89 and finishing at 6.77. The same trend was observed for their ORAC values, starting at 0 and then reached 41.28 mmol TE/g of cheese. The ACE-inhibitor capacity of the three treatments was significantly similar, at day 0 (13.20%) and day 20 (58.27%). On the other hand, C2SL did not have the same evolution curve as CC and C2PP. These results have shown and validated the nutritional value and bioactivities of seaweeds. Also, at the concentration of 2% of seaweeds, no impact was observed on the development and final bioactivities of the two seaweeds cheeses. iv Table des matières Résumé .............................................................................................................................................. iii Abstract .............................................................................................................................................. iv Liste des tableaux ............................................................................................................................ vii Liste des figures .............................................................................................................................. viii Liste des abréviations ...................................................................................................................... ix Remerciements .................................................................................................................................. x Avant-propos ..................................................................................................................................... xi Chapitre 1 : Introduction .................................................................................................................. 1 Chapitre 2 : Revue de littérature .................................................................................................... 4 2.1.

    © 2018 JETIR August 2018, Volume 5, Issue 8 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF SEAWEEDS AND THEIR POTENTIAL PHARMACOLOGICAL ROLE OF POLYPHENOLICS SUBSTANCES: A REVIEW Arumugam Abirami, Selvaraj Uthra and Muthuvel Arumugam* Faculty of Marine Sciences, CAS in Marine Biology, Annamalai University, Parangipettai-608 502, Tamil Nadu, India. ABSTRACT : seaweed shows extensive species diversity with inevitable ecological importance on marine biodiversity. It creates a unique marine ecosystem that acts as a shelter or nursery ground for marine organisms. Moreover, seaweeds are considered as vital sea food due to their richness of various food ingredients such as polysaccharides, dietary fiber, amino acids, minerals and vitamins, etc. They are available in different colors due to the presence of distinct pigments such as chlorophyll, fucoxanthin and phycoerythrin. In traditional Indian medical system, the dried or processed seaweeds are consumed as promising natural medicine for the treatment of various ailments. Seaweed contains various polyphenolic substances such as phlorotannins, phloroglucinol, eckol, dieckol, fucodiphloroethol, 7-phloroeckol, phlorofucofuroeckol and bieckol, which play a major role in human health. The preclinical studies proved that these compounds possess antimicrobial, antitumor, antioxidant activities and also reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The present review deals with the nutritional value of seaweed and the importance of polyphenolic substances. Key words: Seaweeds, phytochemistry, functional foods, polyphenolics, health benefits. INTRODUCTION As there is an increasing demand for search of therapeutic drugs from natural products, there is now a superior concern in marine organisms, especially seaweeds. It serves as a primary producer in water ecosystem and has both ecological and economic value.

The process from the cell membrane lipids in an organ- ism is generated by free radicals, and result in cell damage. Phlorotannins, well-known marine brown algal polyphenols, have been utilized in functional food supplements as well as in medicine supplements to serve a variety of purposes. In this study, we assessed the potential anti-lipid peroxidation activity of phlorofucofuroeckol-A (PFF-A), one of the phlo- rotannins, isolated from Ecklonia cava by centrifugal partition chromatography in 2,2-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihy- drochloride (AAPH)-stimulated Vero cells and zebrafish system. PFF-A showed the strongest scavenging activity against alkyl radicals of all other reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exhibited a strong protective effect against ROS and a signifi- cantly strong inhibited of malondialdehyde in AAPH-stimulated Vero cells. The apoptotic bodies and pro-apoptotic pro- teins Bax and caspase-3, which were induced by AAPH, were strongly inhibited by PFF-A in a dose-dependent manner and expression of Bcl-xL, an anti-apoptotic protein, was induced. In the AAPH-stimulated zebrafish model, additionally PFF-A significantly inhibited ROS and cell death, as well as exhibited a strong protective effect against lipid peroxidation.

Received: 18 June 2014; in revised form: 5 September 2014 / Accepted: 15 September 2014 / Published: 25 September 2014 Abstract: Marine environment has proven to be a rich source of structurally diverse and complex compounds exhibiting numerous interesting biological effects. Macroalgae are currently being explored as novel and sustainable sources of bioactive compounds for both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Given the increasing prevalence of different forms of dementia, researchers have been focusing their attention on the discovery and development of new compounds from macroalgae for potential application in neuroprotection. Neuroprotection involves multiple and complex mechanisms, which are deeply related. Therefore, compounds exerting neuroprotective effects through different pathways could present viable approaches in the management of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. In fact, several studies had already provided promising insights into the neuroprotective effects of a series of compounds isolated from different macroalgae species. This review will focus on compounds from macroalgae that exhibit neuroprotective effects and their potential application to treat and/or prevent neurodegenerative diseases.

Thus, marine algae have been studied as sources of inhibitors of melanin synthesis, but it is still unclear whether they will be effective in in vivo. In this study, we investigated whether marine algal phlorotannins including phloroglucinol (PG), ekcol (EK), and dieckol (DK) from Ecklonia cava inhibit melanin synthesis in zebrafish embryos. PG, EK, and DK treatment were found to inhibit melanin synthesis in zebrafish embryos as similar to arbutin, used as a positive control. Interestingly, PG, EK, and DK treatment showed no toxicity, whereas arbutin treatment showed toxicity for long-term exposure. As well, mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF- α), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were increased in arbutin treatment, whereas, the mRNA expression were not altered in PG, EK, and DK treatment by long-tern exposure.

  • Phlorotannins and Macroalgal Polyphenols: Potential As Functional 3 Food Ingredients and Role in Health Promotion
    Phlorotannins and Macroalgal Polyphenols: Potential As Functional 3 Food Ingredients and Role in Health Promotion Margaret Murray, Aimee L. Dordevic, Lisa Ryan, and Maxine P. Bonham Abstract Marine macroalgae are rapidly gaining recognition as a source of functional ingredients that can be used to promote health and prevent disease. There is accu- mulating evidence from in vitro studies, animal models, and emerging evidence in human trials that phlorotannins, a class of polyphenol that are unique to marine macroalgae, have anti-hyperglycaemic and anti-hyperlipidaemic effects. The ability of phlorotannins to mediate hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia makes them attractive candidates for the development of functional food products to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. This chapter gives an overview of the sources and structure of phlorotannins, as well as how they are identified and quantified in marine algae. This chapter will discuss the dietary intake of macroalgal polyphenols and the current evidence regarding their anti- hyperglycaemic and anti-hyperlipidaemic actions in vitro and in vivo. Lastly, this chapter will examine the potential of marine algae and their polyphenols to be produced into functional food products through investigating safe levels of poly- phenol consumption, processing techniques, the benefits of farming marine algae, and the commercial potential of marine functional products.

The main risk factors that lead to the development of this disease include poor behavioral and dietary habits, such as tobacco use, alcohol use and lack of fruit and vegetable intake, or physical inactivity. In turn, it is well known that polyphenols are deeply implicated with the lower rates of cancer in populations that consume high levels of plant derived foods. In this field, phlorotannins have been under the spotlight in recent years since they have shown exceptional bioactive properties, with great interest for application in food and pharmaceutical industries. Among their multiple bioactive properties, phlorotannins have revealed the capacity to interfere with several biochemical mechanisms that regulate oxidative stress, inflammation and tumorigenesis, which are central aspects in the pathogenesis of cancer. This versatility and ability to act either directly or indirectly at different stages and mechanisms of cancer growth make these Citation: Catarino, M.D.; Amarante, compounds highly appealing for the development of new therapeutical strategies to address this S.J.; Mateus, N.; Silva, A.M.S.; Cardoso, world scourge.
