Invazīvo augu (Lupinus polyphyllus, Impatiens glandulifera, Echinocystis lobate) bioloģiski aktīvo vielu grupas un to izmantošanas potenciāls bioekon…
2022
Invazīvās augu sugas var veicināt ar ekosistēmu funkcionēšanu saistītas problēmas, radot ekonomiskus zaudējumus, kaitējumu cilvēka veselībai un samazinot rekreācijas resursu kvalitāti. Tās raksturo strauja un agresīva izplatīšanās, nomācot endēmiskās sugas. Pilnīgai invazīvo augu biomasas izmantošanai ir nepieciešams atrast ilgtspējīgus, bioekonomikā balstītus pārstrādes risinājumus, kas ļautu iegūt komponentus vai produktus ar augstu pievienoto vērtību. Darbā tika apskatītas dažādas daudzlapu lupīnas, puķu spriganes un adatainā dzeloņgurķa augu daļas. Augos tika noteikts kopējais polifenolu daudzums, novērtēta antiradikālā aktivitāte (DPPH), un lupīnās atrodamie alkaloīdi (GC-MS). Augstākā…

The antioxidant capacity of red wine in relationship with its polyphenolic constituents
2008
The aim of this study is evaluate either the antioxidant or pro-oxidant behaviour of some typical polyphenolic compounds of red wine, to investigate the influence of two different pH levels on the antioxidant properties and to clarify their activity–structure relationship. The antioxidant activity of compounds in hydrophilic solutions at pH 3.5 and pH 7.4 were measured by a competition kinetic test, based on the crocin bleaching. The position and the number of substitution groups influence the magnitude of the antioxidant activity of the polyphenolic compounds, but their antioxidant properties are also strongly influenced by the pH conditions. Increasing the pH, a considerable increase in a…
In Situ Polyphosphate Nanoparticle Formation in Hybrid Poly(vinyl alcohol)/Karaya Gum Hydrogels: A Porous Scaffold Inducing Infiltration of Mesenchym…
2018
Abstract The preparation and characterization of a porous hybrid cryogel based on the two organic polymers, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and karaya gum (KG), into which polyphosphate (polyP) nanoparticles have been incorporated, are described. The PVA/KG cryogel is prepared by intermolecular cross‐linking of PVA via freeze‐thawing and Ca2+‐mediated ionic gelation of KG to form stable salt bridges. The incorporation of polyP as amorphous nanoparticles with Ca2+ ions (Ca‐polyP‐NP) is achieved using an in situ approach. The polyP constituent does not significantly affect the viscoelastic properties of the PVA/KG cryogel that are comparable to natural soft tissue. The exposure of the Ca‐polyP‐NP w…
Inhibition of Folic Acid Uptake by Catechins and Tea Extracts in Caco-2 Cells
2006
In this present study it was aimed to determine whether the catechins contained in green tea and the whole extracts of Camellia sinensis (Theaceae) inhibit the uptake of folic acid by Caco-2 cell monolayers. Our results indicate that (-)-epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) and (-)-epicatechin 3-gallate (ECG) inhibit cellular folic acid uptake with IC50 values of 34.8 micromol/L and 30.8 micromol/L, respectively. Furthermore, green and black tea extracts were also found to inhibit folic acid uptake with IC50 values of approximately 7.5 and 3.6 mg/mL, respectively. According to these results, simultaneous intake of tea and folic acid may inhibit intestinal folic acid absorption. The consequence…
Influence of storage and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on totqal antioxidant capacity of fruit beverages
2011
Eight fruit beverages containing grape, orange and apricot, with/without iron and/or zinc and with/without milk added were analyzed for total antioxidant capacity (ORAC and TEAC methods), ascorbic acid content, and total polyphenols. The influence of cold storage (2-4 degrees C) during the product shelf-life (135 days) and antioxidant capacity after an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion were evaluated. Antioxidant capacity for all beverages together increased significantly (p < 0.05) at the end of storage (16.4% and 12.8% for ORAC and TEAC, respectively), whereas ascorbic acid remained stable. Regarding in vitro digestion, antioxidant values of bioaccessible fractions of fruit beverages in…

Chromatographic Profiles of the main Secondary Metabolites in the Monarda fistulosa L. Aerial Part
2021
Two different methods of chromatographic analysis have been used in this study for the phytochemical evaluation of main secondary metabolites in the aerial part of bee balm (Monarda fistulosa L.) as the non-officinal medicinal plant of the Lamiaceae Martinov family. The high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprinting method was developed for the qualitative analyses of phenolic and non-polar compounds in the bee balm herb after its maceration in the solvents of different polarity. Such polyphenols as rosmarinic, caffeic and chlorogenic acids were authentically identified in the methanol extract of herb using HPTLC. Aromatic monoterpenoid thymol was identified by the HPTLC …
Bioreactivity of Resveratrol Toward Inflammation Processes
2014
Grape polyphenols are abundant. They play essential roles in the vine’s life, particularly in its defense mechanisms. Interestingly, the grape, fresh or dried, is a widely consumed fruit by humans, as are its processed products, grape juice and wine. Moreover, they contain vast and highly varied quantities of polyphenols. Like other phytophenols, grape and wine resveratrol is considered a protective micronutrient like flavonoids, epicatechins in green tea and cocoa, quercetin in apples and onions, curcumin of the turmeric root, and hydroxytyrosol in olive oil. Resveratrol is a powerful natural antioxidant in vine. Interestingly, in humans, it protects low density lipoproteins against oxidat…
