Background. Ficus pandurata H. (Moraceae) is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine as a healthy food condiment or a medicine for treatment of various diseases including inflammation. Objective. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the phytochemical compositions and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of crude water (FPW) and ethanolic extracts (FPE) from Ficus pandurata H. Methods. Phytochemical compositions were identified by a high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry method (HPLC-ESI-MS). The antioxidant activities were evaluated by diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical assays, and the anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated by paw edema and levels of inflammatory mediator TNF-α and PGE2 in monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-induced rats. Results. Six compounds were identified by HPLC-MS method, and abundance of phenolics was found in FPE. The FPE showed concentration-dependent-significant scavenging of DPPH and hydroxyl radicals with IC50 values 118.4 and 192.9 μg/mL, respectively. The FPE treatment significantly inhibited the paw edema and the production of TNF-α and PGE2 in MSU crystal-induced rats. Conclusion. The FPE exerted stronger antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities which may be attributed to its high phenolic content.

In the present study, the characteristics of phenol preparation from palm kernel shell (PKS) pyrolysis at the temperature range of 265–320 °C were investigated using TG-FTIR-MS analyses, based on the analysis about the decomposition characteristics of PKS comparing to other biomass samples. The GC–MS analysis was subsequently employed to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize the phenol in bio-oils from PKS catalytic pyrolysis at 265–320 °C. Two significant weight loss peaks with the closer values were observed in DTG curve of PKS that differentiated with other samples, which was mainly attributed to the content and especially the structural characteristics of lignin in the PKS. Phenol was mainly in bio-oils from decomposition of the “first weight loss peak” during PKS pyrolysis at 265–320 °C. The relative content in bio-oil, selectivity in phenolic compounds, and mass yield of phenol from PKS catalytic pyrolysis with CaO could reach to 83.21 area%, 100%, and 0.0075 g/(g biomass), respectively.

Following the restrictions on bisphenol A (BPA), the production and environmental release of bisphenol analogues (BPs) have increased. However, knowledge about the occurrence of bisphenol analogues other than BPA, especially in farmland soils and edible plants, remains limited. This study investigated the occurrence, contamination characteristics, and human health risks of eight bisphenol analogues in paired soil-plant samples from areas near factories in eastern China. Results indicated that the concentrations of Σ 8 BPs in the collected soil and plant samples ranged from 1.4 to 897.1 ng/g dw and 2.5 to 586.2 ng/g dw, respectively. BPA, bisphenol AF (BPAF), bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol S (BPS) were the primary components of BPs, with BPA having the highest detection frequency (74 %). In addition, a positive correlation was observed between the root concentration factor and the log K ow of BPs ( R 2 = 0.471, P < 0.05), whereas the translocation factor exhibited a negative correlation with the log K ow ( R 2 = 0.405, P < 0.05). The hazard index (HI) values of BPs in paired soil-plant samples were <1, suggesting that the current contamination levels of BPs in soils and plants are unlikely to pose significant health risks to humans. However, potential risks from long-term exposure require careful monitoring. This study offers new insights into the spatial distributions and contamination status of BPs in farmland soils and plants, highlighting the environmental behavior and health risks of other bisphenol analogues.

Background: The yellow-leafgl1mutant ofLagerstroemia indicaexhibits an altered phenylpropanoid metabolism pathway compared to wild-type (WT). However, details on the metabolites associated with leaf color variation, including color-specific metabolites with bioactive constituents, are not fully understood. Methods: Chemical and metabolomics approaches were used to compare metabolite composition and antioxidant capacity between thegl1mutant and WT leaves. Results: The mutant exhibited an irregular xylem structure with a significantly lower phenolic polymer lignin content and higher soluble phenolic compounds. Untargeted metabolomics analysis identified phenolic compounds, particularly lignans, as key differential metabolites betweengl1and WT, with a significant increase in the mutant. The neolignan derivative balanophonin-4-O-D-glu was identified as a characteristic metabolite in thegl1mutant. The soluble phenolic compounds of thegl1mutant exhibited higher FRAP, ABTS, DPPH, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity than in WT. Correlation analysis showed a positive relationship between antioxidant capacity and phenolic compounds inL. indica. Conclusions: Metabolites associated with leaf color variation in theL. indicayellow-leafgl1mutant demonstrated high antioxidant capacity, particularly in scavenging hydroxyl radicals.

In the present work, a novel chemometrics-assisted analytical strategy that combines three-way high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) data with a second-order calibration method based on the alternating trilinear decomposition (ATLD) algorithm was developed for direct, accurate and simultaneous determination of thirteen phenolic compounds in complex red wine samples without an intricate clean-up step. All analytes were rapidly eluted out (7.5 min) under a simple gradient LC-separation and then detected in a multi-channel UV window. With the aid of the prominent “second-order advantage” of the ATLD algorithm, four common HPLC problems, i.e. solvent peaks, peak overlaps, unknown interferents and baseline drifts, could be mathematically calibrated, enabling “pure signals” of analytes to be extracted out from interference-heavy but information-rich HPLC-DAD profiles. The new strategy could avoid the loss of analytes of interest to significantly improve the analytical accuracy. Validation parameters, i.e. recovery (97.7–104%), precision (RSD < 7.1%), matrix effect, limits of detection (LODs, 0.02–0.27 μg mL−1) and limits of quantitation (LOQs, 0.06–0.82 μg mL−1) of thirteen analytes, were surveyed and further confirmed by the LC-MS/MS method. Based on the indexes of phenolic compositions in wines, pattern recognition methods, i.e. principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA), were applied for distinguishing wines of different storage years, and the discriminant accuracies were higher than 90%, which proved that this chemometrics-assisted HPLC-DAD strategy was an excellent method for direct and accurate determination of phenolic compositions in complex wine samples as well as the authentication of vintage year.

The interaction and action mechanism of starch with different phenolic compounds were investigated. By using scanning electron microscope, nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis, phenolic compounds exhibited the significant effects on the morphology, intensity of hydrogen bond, crystalline structure and thermal stability of starch, respectively. Furthermore, according to the analysis of molecular dynamics simulation by using short-chain glucose (SGS) as model, phenolic compounds could change the spatial configuration of starch, and had the obvious effects on the formation of hydrogen bonds (including intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds) and the strength of binding free energy. Meanwhile, epigallocatechin gallate possessed the strongest capacity to change the spatial configuration of starch with the consistent hydrogen bond occupancy and the lowest binding free energy. All present results suggested that phenolic compounds might be potentially utilised for improving the quality of starch in food industry.

en This link goes to a English section pt This link goes to a English section Germination is considered to be an effective process for improving the nutritional quality and functionality of cereals. In this study, changes of nutritional ingredients, antinutritional components, chemical composition, and antioxidant activities of buckwheat seeds over 72 h of germination were investigated, and the reasons for these changes are discussed. With the prolonged germination time, the contents of crude protein, reducing sugar, total phenolics, total flavonoids, and condensed tannins increased significantly, while the levels of crude fat, phytic acid, and the activity of trypsin inhibitor decreased. Phenolic compounds, such as rutin, vitexin, isovitexin, orientin, isoorientin, chlorogenic acid, trans-3-hydroxycinnamic acid, and p-hydroxybenzoic acid increased significantly during the germination process, which may be due to the activation of phenylalanine ammonialyase. The improvement of flavonoids led to significant enhancement of the antioxidant activities of germinated buckwheat. Germinated buckwheat had better nutritional value and antioxidant activities than ungerminated buckwheat, and it represented an excellent natural source of flavonoids and phenolic compounds, especially rutin and C-glycosylflavones. Therefore, germinated buckwheat could be used as a promising functional food for health promotion. Practical Application en This link goes to a English section pt This link goes to a English section This study revealed the changes of nutritional ingredients and bioactive compounds in buckwheat seeds during germination. The content of phenolic profiles, especially flavonoids, increased significantly during germination, which led to remarkable improvement of antioxidant activities.

Due to the limitation of the existing solvents, the phenols recovery process cannot control phenols concentration to less than 300 mg/L. Therefore, this study presented a synergistic phenols extraction process by using optimal design solvent mixture. The solvent mixture was proposed with the volume ratio of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) to n-pentanol 6:4. The synergistic extraction process was simulated to acquire the parameters with treatment 130 t/h coal gasification wastewater. The removal efficiencies of phenols and treatment costs for the synergistic extraction process had been addressed. The removal efficiency of total phenols can reach to 97.0% after two-stage extraction, and the concentration of total phenols can be decreased from 6273 mg/L to 190 mg/L. Compared with single solvent MIBK, the reduction of phenols emissions is 47.2% by proposed solvent mixture. The operation cost and income of crude phenols showed that synergistic extraction process realized profit about 3.35 CNY/t. Given the removal efficiencies and treatment costs, the solvent mixture (60% MIBK, 40% n-pentanol) is very promising for phenols removal.

Hydrophilic urea-formaldehyde macroporous foams (UFMF) were simply synthesized by templating oil-in-water Pickering high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) solely stabilized by lignin particles. Morphology and structure of the UFMF can be easily tailored by varying the experimental compositions of Pickering HIPEs and polymerization time. Due to their porous matrix, hydrophilic surface, and high content of binding groups (such as hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups), as-prepared UFMF was adopted for the removal of three phenolic compounds (PCs) from aqueous solution. The influences of pH, solution temperature, contact time, and initial concentration of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (2,4,5-TCP), 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) on adsorption capacity and competitive adsorption of multi PCs were investigated via the batch mode experiments. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms fit well by a pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, respectively. The max adsorption capacity of 2,4,5-TCP, 2,4,6-TCP and 4-NP at 25 °C are 116.3 mg g−1, 78.74 mg g−1, 29.41 mg g−1, respectively, and their adsorption rate follows the order 2,4,5-TCP > 2,4,6-TCP > 4-NP. Moreover, the group type and position effects both influence the adsorption, and follow the order: 2,4,5-position substitution of chloride > 2,4,6-position substitution of chloride > 4-position substitution of nitro-group, showing that the substitution with the more groups has the higher adsorption affinity.

BACKGROUND Ginger and its extracts have been frequently used in food processing and pharmaceuticals. However, the influence of ginger and its key compounds on benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) production in meat processing has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of application of ginger and its important active ingredients on BaP formation and the mechanism of inhibiting BaP formation in charcoal-grilled pork sausages. RESULTS The DPPH scavenging (23.59–59.67%) activity and the inhibition rate of BaP (42.1–68.9%) were significantly increased ( P < 0.05) with increasing ginger addition. The active components extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide from ginger were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and 14 representative compounds (four terpenes, two alcohols, two aldehydes, four phenols and two other compounds, totaling 77.57% of the detected compounds) were selected. The phenolic compounds (eugenol, 6-gingerol, 6-paradol and 6-shogaol, accounting for 29.73% of the total composition) in ginger played a key role and had the strongest inhibitory effect on BaP (61.2–68.2%), whereas four other kinds of compound showed obviously feeble inhibitory activity (6.47–17.9%). Charcoal-grilled sausages with phenolic substances had lower values of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, carbonyl and diene (three classic indicators of lipid oxidation) ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Ginger and its key compounds could effectively inhibit the formation of BaP in charcoal-grilled pork sausages. Phenolic compounds make the strongest contribution to the inhibition of Bap formation, and the inhibitory mechanism was related to the inhibition of lipid oxidation. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

The complex structure of rice straw is such that its bioconversion requires multiple physical and chemical pretreatment steps. In this study, it was found that a large amount of soluble polysaccharides (SPs) are formed during the pretreatment of straw. The yield of NaOH-based SPs (4.8%) was much larger than that of ball-milled SPs (1.5%) and H 2 SO 4 -based SPs (1.1%). For all the pretreatments, the ratio of phenolic compounds to saccharides (P/S) for each type of SPs increased upon increasing the concentration of ethanol in the order of 90% > 70% > 50%. The yield of NaOH-based SPs was much higher than that of acid-based and ball-milled SPs. The changes in the 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) of SPs follow the same rule, i.e., the higher the P/S ratio, the higher the antioxidant values of the SPs. The flow cytometry and laser scanning microscopy results show that the P/S ratio can significantly influence the effect of SPs on microbial growth and cell membrane permeability. Upon varying the ethanol concentration in the range of 50–90%, the P/S ratio increased from 0.02 to 0.17, resulting in an increase in the promoting effects of the SPs on yeast cell growth. Furthermore, H 2 O 2 , NAD + /NADH, and NADP + /NADPH assays indicate that SPs with a high P/S ratio can reduce intracellular H 2 O 2 and change the intracellular redox status.

The phenolics are the main bioactive substances of Huangshan Gongju, a famous chrysanthemum of China, but their digestive characteristics are still unknown. To explore the digestive properties of Huangshan Gongju phenolics, the flower was extracted and subjected to simulated digestions, and their phenolic profile and activity were analyzed. The results indicated that the total phenolics content and antioxidant activity of the extract varied with the simulated digestion steps, and they generally decreased in the oral and small intestine digestions but increased in the gastric digestion, and high correlations were detected between the total phenolics content and antioxidant activity (0.873 < r < 0.979, p < .01). The change of phenolic profile during the simulated digestions was similar to that of total phenolics content, and six individual phenolics were identified and quantified, and three of them, including chlorogenic acid, apigenin-7- O -rutinoside, and apigenin-7- O -6″-acetylglucoside showed higher recovery (>64.29%), implying they may be the main functional phenolics of Huangshan Gongju. Practical applications This study proved that most phenolics in Huangshan Gongju were relatively stable during digestion. The finding may guarantee the application of Huangshan Gongju in the field of functional foods.
