In the present study, a selenium-chondroitin sulfate (SeCS) was synthesized by the sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) and ascorbic acid (Vc) redox reaction using chondroitin sulfate derived from shark cartilage as a template, and characterized by SEM, SEM-EDS, FTIR and XRD. Meanwhile, its stability was investigated at different conditions of pH and temperatures. Besides, its antioxidant activity was further determined by the DPPH and ABTS assays. The results showed the SeCS with the smallest particle size of 131.3 ± 4.4 nm and selenium content of 33.18% was obtained under the optimal condition (CS concentration of 0.1 mg/mL, mass ratio of Na2SeO3to Vc of 1:8, the reaction time of 3 h, and the reaction temperature of 25 °C). SEM image showed the SeCS was an individual and spherical nanostructure and its structure was evidenced by FTIR and XRD. Meanwhile, SeCS remained stable at an alkaline pH and possessed good storage stability at 4 °C for 28 days. The results on scavenging free radical levels showed that SeCS exhibited significantly higher antioxidant activity than SeNPs and CS, indicating that SeCS had a potential antioxidant effect.Keywords:nanoselenium;chondroitin sulfate derived from shark cartilage;structure characterization;antioxidant activity

Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a hydrophilic polyphenolic compound, is difficult to use in lipophilic systems. Accordingly, to improve its lipophilicity and explore the effect of alkyl chain unsaturation on antioxidant activity, CGA was acylated with fatty acids of the same chain length, but an increasing degree of unsaturation, namely, stearic acid [C18:0], oleic acid [C18:1], linoleic acid [C18:2], and linolenic acid [C18:3]. The major products were monoesters, as confirmed by ESI-MS, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR) analysis. The lipophilicity of CGA derivatives was enhanced by acylation, and decreased with an increasing degree of fatty acid unsaturation. All CGA derivatives showed a high level of antioxidant activity. In detail, CGA-C18:0, CGA-C18:1, and CGA-C18:2 showed similar antioxidant activities, while CGA-C18:3 had the lowest antioxidant activity. The DPPH radical and ABTS radical cation scavenging activities of CGA-C18:3 were equivalent to 66.9% and 62.0% of those of CGA, respectively. The results of peroxide value (PV) indicated that the oxidative stability of CGA derivatives was enhanced. These results indicated that CGA derivatives could serve as potential sources of antioxidants for lipophilic food systems.

Mung beans contain abundant flavonoids like vitexin and isovitexin, which contribute to their strong bioactivities, such as antioxidant effects, so efforts should focus on extracting bioactive flavonoids as well as aligning with the goal of green extraction for specific applications. Deep eutectic solvent coupled with ultrasound-assisted extraction (DES-UAE) was applied to extract flavonoids from mung beans, and eight different DESs were compared on the extraction yield. In addition, the traditional extraction method with 30% ethanol was performed as the reference. The results showed that ethylene glycol-glycolic acid achieved the highest yield among all the DESs, 1.6 times that of the reference values. Furthermore, the DES-UAE parameters were optimized as a 60 mL/g liquid–solid ratio, 30% water content in DES, 200 W ultrasonic power, 67 °C ultrasonic temperature, and 10 min extraction time, leading to the DES extract with the maximum extraction yield of 2339.45 ± 42.98 μg/g, and the significantly stronger DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging ability than the traditional extract. Therefore, employing DES and ultrasonic extraction together offers a green method for extracting flavonoids from mung beans, advancing the development and utilization of plant-derived effective components in a sustainable manner.

The incorporation of antioxidants in food products is essential to prevent or delay deterioration, thereby addressing food spoilage. Thiol compounds, recognized for their natural antioxidant properties, are widely used in various foods; however, their antioxidant capacity is often limited. This study investigates the potential enhancement of thiol antioxidant capacity through the addition of a soluble, low-toxic inorganic Sm-cluster. Our findings demonstrate that the Sm-cluster significantly bolsters the antioxidant efficacy of thiol compounds. We explored, for the first time, the in vitro antioxidant activities of an Sm-oxo/hydroxy cluster combined with a cysteine derivative for potential food applications. The composition exhibited a robust inhibition of aromatic aldehyde flavor compound oxidation and displayed strong, dose-dependent DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine) radical scavenging activity. Notably, the antioxidant activity of the Sm-cluster/cysteine derivative was further enhanced under strong visible light conditions, which typically increased the likelihood of oxidation. These results suggest that the combination of inorganic cluster and thiol compounds presents a promising natural alternative to traditional antioxidants in the food industry.

(−)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) possesses potent antioxidant properties and can enhance the encapsulation efficiency and stability of oil microcapsule with sodium caseinate (NaCas). Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of EGCG on the physicochemical properties of walnut oil microcapsules. The impact of EGCG on the morphology, structure, physical attributes, and functional traits of walnut oil microcapsules was characterized through scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, molecular docking, thermogravimetric analysis, etc. Results demonstrated that EGCG interacted with NaCas via hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions to form walnut oil microcapsules, significantly enhancing the encapsulation efficiency up to 86.42%. With increasing concentration of EGCG, the NaCas-EGCG complex displayed heightened DPPH free radical scavenging capacity (up to 68.27 μg Trolox/mL). Furthermore, in vitro digestion indicated that the microcapsules could effectively regulate the release rate of free fatty acids. In conclusion, the present study successfully prepared walnut oil microcapsules with elevated oxidative stability by employing EGCG and NaCas as the wall materials, providing new insight for preparing walnut oil microcapsules with improved stability and release properties.

The pericarps of 10 litchi cultivars from two production seasons were studied for their phenolic concentrations and composition and activities of anti-oxidation. The total phenolic concentrations in dried litchi pericarp ranged from 51 to 102 g k g −1 . Different cultivars varied considerably in phenolic concentration and composition. Cultivars ‘Nuomici’ exhibited significantly higher concentrations of proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, phenolic acids and therefore total soluble phenolics than the other cultivars, while ‘Lanzhu’ and ‘Guiwei’ had minor values in phenolics. The extracts of litchi pericarp exhibited considerably high ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and strong activities of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging, lipid peroxidation inhibiting, and oxidative DNA damage protection. The crude ethanol extracts of pericarp displayed significantly higher FRAP and stronger DPPH scavenging capacity than butylated hydroxylytoluene (BHT) and catechin. Among the tested cultivars, concentrations of major phenolics had significant linear correlations with FRAP and DPPH scavenging activities. These results indicated that litchi pericarp is rich in natural antioxidant phenolic compounds and different litchi cultivars differed considerably in phenolic concentration and antioxidant activities.

In this study, core-shell biopolymer nanoparticles were fabricated for the encapsulation and delivery of curcumin using a pH-driven method. The influences of the coating composition on the physicochemical properties and curcumin release characteristics of the core-shell nanoparticles were studied. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that curcumin was encapsulated in an amorphous state inside the nanoparticles. Particle size and ζ-potential measurements indicated that the biopolymer nanoparticles were relatively stable under different environmental conditions: long term storage, heating, pH changes and salt. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the curcumin was increased after encapsulation within the nanoparticles, whereas the gastrointestinal release of curcumin was prolonged. These results were attributed to the ability of alginate and NaCas to form a thick layer around the nanoparticles, which increased the steric and electrostatic repulsion between them, as well as inhibiting the release of curcumin.

High friction of damaged cartilage requires long-acting lubricated additive, which can also effectively scavenge reactive oxidative species (ROS) produced by mechanically stimulated chondrocytes . In this study, xanthan gum (XG) was grafted by poly (sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) (the [XG]/[SBMA] molar ratio is 1:5 or 1:10), forming nanoparticles and then conjugated with collagen II-binding peptide, finally obtaining CBPXGSB1/5 or CBPXGSB1/10. Therein, the CBPXGSB1/5 was chosen as optimal lubricated additive. The results show that hydrated effect of PSBMA side chains endows CBPXGSB1/5 with favorable lubrication property (COF is 0.063). Furthermore, the CBPXGSB1/5 combining lubrication property and specific binding capability together may achieve the long-acting lubrication for injured cartilage in medical field. The CBPXGSB1/5 also possesses antioxidation verified by DPPH assay and exhibits synergistically enhanced ROS ( OH, O 2 − and H 2 O 2 ) scavenging. Besides, cytotoxicity experiment demonstrates that CBPXGSB1/5 has good biocompatibility. Therefore, multifunctional CBPXGSB1/5 developed here may have promising application potential in osteoarthritis treatment.

Tyrosinase is involved in the synthesis of neuromelanin in the substantia nigra, which is closely correlated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease. Herein, we identified S05014 (l-Tyr, IC50 = 6.25 ± 1.43 nM; l-Dopa, IC50 = 0.64 ± 0.40 μM) as a highly effective tyrosinase inhibitor. It could inhibit the tyrosinase function from different origins and decrease the expression of tyrosinase. S05014 presented good medication safety and inhibited melanogenesis in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, as a resorcinol derivative, S05014 could scavenge the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical and significantly reduce the overproduction of LPS-induced reactive oxidative species (ROS), indicating its antioxidative profile. S05014 exhibited an excellent neuroprotective effect against methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) impairment in vitro and could remarkably alleviate movement abnormalities and exploratory activities in vivo. Altogether, S05014 is considered as a promising inhibitor for tyrosinase, melanogenesis, and oxidative stress and has great potential to be utilized in anti-Parkinsonian syndrome. From this point of view, tyrosinase inhibition has been further confirmed to be a novel strategy to improve locomotor capacity and treat Parkinson’s disease.

This study integrates HPLC fingerprinting and NIR spectroscopy to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of Rheum tanguticum . HPLC fingerprinting comprehensively characterized the complex chemical composition, identifying 13 compounds. Meanwhile, NIR spectroscopy provided a rapid, non-destructive approach to predict antioxidant capacity. The combination of these techniques offers a holistic and efficient strategy for evaluating antioxidant activity. The spectrum-effect relationships were analyzed by correlating the results of three antioxidant assays (ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP) with the peak areas of the common peaks identified by HPLC. Glycosylated anthraquinones, particularly conjugated forms like rhein-8-O-glucoside, were found to synergistically enhance antioxidant activity with free aglycones. NIR models optimized using the PLS method with Python-based algorithms demonstrated strong predictive abilities, achieving RPD values of 2.43 for ABTS, 2.63 for DPPH, and 2.43 for FRAP. This research provides a rapid method to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of Rh. tanguticum , offering a reference for future applications in other fields.
