Guangdong, Guangxi and Chongqing are emerging sericulture areas in China where the production of mulberry leaves is huge. In order to identity high quality mulberry leaves that are suitable for healthy products to expand planting, 24 samples from three regions (Guangdong, Guangxi, Chongqing) in the south of China were quantified for two alkaloids (1-deoxynojirimycin and fagomine) and five phenols (chlorogenic acid, rutin, isoquercitrin, etc.) using high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Additionally, the total phenolic and total flavonoid contents, antioxidant and glycosidase inhibitory activities (hypoglycemic activity) were tested using different assays (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP) to comprehensively evaluate the quality of the mulberry leaves. The contents of DNJ and fagomine ranged from 0.401±0.003 to 5.309±0.036 mg/g and from 0.279±0.031 to 2.300±0.060 mg/g, respectively. The main phenolic constituents were chlorogenic acid, rutin and isoquercitrin, with chlorogenic acid present in the highest concentrations, ranging from 3.104±0.191 to 10.050±0.143 mg/g. The antioxidant activity exhibited a tendency as follows: Guangxi > Guangdong > Chongqing, except for two samples from Chongqing, which showed the highest antioxidant activity. Based on our study, mulberry leaves from Guangdong and Guangxi could be future sources of natural hypoglycemic and antioxidant products.

Utilization of phenolic compounds in rice husk and bran is important for improving the functionality of rice by-products. Eight rice varieties planted in different area were selected to analyze the phenolic compounds distribution of fractions in Japonica and Indica rice by using UPLC-MS method. A total of 12 phenolic compounds were identified in all rice varieties. Ferulic acid, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid and syringic acid were the dominant phenolic compounds in rice bran, while p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde was the main phenolic compounds existed in rice husk (14.46–23.72 µg·g −1 ). Bran and husk fractions provide more than 90% of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of whole rice. Regardless of the planting environmental effects, Japonica rice has significant higher phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity than Indica rice (P < 0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the distribution of phenolic compounds were strongly correlated with the rice varieties and fractions.

The development of high drug loading and sustained release nanoparticles by simple and economical methods is significant for the treatment of diseases. Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is an ideal drug delivery system because of its excellent pH responsiveness, biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this work, ACC nanoparticles were successfully precipitated in ethanol–calcium solutions using ammonium carbonate as the internal source of CO 2 , which exhibited a relatively narrow size distribution in range of 10–200 nm. The microscopic morphology, amorphous characters, porous structure and thermal behavior of resultants were investigated by electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. In vitro drug release assay showed that ACC nanoparticles had high loading capacity of curcumin (Cur) and favorable drug release properties. Furthermore, ACC-Cur showed excellent abilities to scavenge free radicals, protect Cur stability and damage A549 cells, providing a broadened space for the applications of this material in the fields of biomedical or food.

High-pressure processing (HPP) is a novel non-thermal processing technology, ensuring the safety of food products, as well as preserving their nutritional and functional characteristics, and avoiding the harmful effects of traditional thermal technologies. This study examined the inactivation of microorganisms and the HPP kinetic model in fermented pomegranate juice (FPJ) at different pressures (400 MPa, 500 MPa, and 600 MPa), and different treatment times (3 min, 5 min, 7 min, and 10 min). Moreover, HPP and thermal processing (TP) (65 °C/20 min) treatment responsible for a similar microbial inactivation activity, were compared by examining their impact on bioactive compounds, volatile compounds, and various quality attributes to provide a theoretical basis for FPJ processing. The inactivation curves of the microorganisms as a result of HPP were fitted using the Weibull model. Furthermore, HPP at or over 600 MPa/3 min inactivated the microorganisms and sufficiently retained the microbial populations investigated in this study below the detection limit. Following HPP and TP treatment, the total color difference (ΔE) values, total soluble solids (TSS), pH and titratable acidity (TA) had not significantly (p>0.05) changed. For total flavonoids, total phenols, anthocyanins, and antioxidant activity, the maximal retention of 91.18%, 97.52%, 95.69%, and 95.89% was achieved at 600 MPa/3 min, which was 4.62%, 24.61%, 26.83%, and 7.08% higher than in the TP-treated sample. The main volatile compounds in FPJ were esters and alcohols, and the FPJ treated at 600 MPa/3 min exhibited the highest alcohol content, while the esters were 2.27% higher than in the control. Considering the pasteurization effect and quality maintenance abilities of HPP and TP treatment, 600 MPa/3 min could be considered as an optimal condition in facilitating FPJ processing.

Ultrasonic and response surface methodology were used to extract phenolic compounds from date pits and optimize extraction parameters including ultrasonic time, solid to liquid ratio and ethanol concentration. A mathematical model of the three parameters for a high extraction yield was established. The results showed that all the extraction parameters and the interaction between solid to liquid ratio and ethanol concentration significantly affected the extraction yield. The optimized extraction parameters were ultrasonic time of 42 min, solid to liquid ratio of 1:46 g/mL, and ethanol concentration of 60%, under which the extraction yield was 8.26%. In vitro antioxidant activity and components of the phenolic compounds was investigated by the antioxidant tests and HPLC, respectively. The antioxidant assays of DPPH and ABTS free radicals, reducing power and total antioxidant capacity suggested that the phenolic compounds from date pits had a high antioxidant activity, and the HPLC analyses revealed that the extracts were mainly composed of seven phenolics.

In order to find new sources of natural antioxidants, total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) of 30 flowers in their free, esterified and insoluble-bound forms were determined. Rosa rugosa Thunb (pink) showed the highest TPC, and Osmanthus fragrans had the highest TFC. The antioxidant activities of 30 flowers were determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assays. Rosa rugosa Thunb (purple) and Rosa rugosa Thunb (pink) had the highest DPPH (612.79 and 544.75 μmol Trolox/g DW), FRAP (273.10 and 301.14 μmol Trolox/g DW) and TEAC (1013.71 and 937.19 μmol Trolox/g DW) value. Furthermore, several phenolic compounds were detected using ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) technique, and (+)-catechin, ferulic acid, isoquercitrin, and quercitrin were widely found in these flowers. The results implied that the flowers were important natural sources of bioactive components with higher antioxidant capacities for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

The combined effect of ultrasound (US) and pulsed electric field (PEF) was investigated on microbial load and bioactive compounds of grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice was PEF treated (flow rate: 80 ml/min, pulse frequency: 1 kHz, 20 kVcm −1 electric field strength, temperature: 40 °C, time: 600 μs) followed by US treatment in an ultrasonic bath cleaner radiating 600 W at frequency of 28 KHz and 20 °C for 30 min. PEF and US treatment resulted in a significant reduction in microbial load as compared to the control group. Using combined (PEF + US) treatment, carotenoids, lycopene, anthocyanin contents, and total antioxidant activity were increased from 0.84 μg/ml, 0.32 μg/ml, 1.37 mg/L, and 177.48 ascorbic acid equivalent µg/g (control) to 1.26 μg/ml, 0.92 μg/ml, 1.68 mg/L, and 262.32 ascorbic acid equivalent µg/g, respectively. The findings demonstrated that PEF + US could be successfully used for preserving bioactive compounds in grapefruit juice while improving the microbial quality for a better shelf-life. Practical applications In recent years, nonthermal techniques, such as sonication and PEF or combination of these are used for the inactivation of microorganism and preserving the bioactive compounds of different juices. The results of the present study revealed that combined treatment (PEF + US) could improve the antioxidant activity, total phenolics, flavonols, flavonoids, lycopene, and total carotenoids. The findings of this study suggested that PEF + US has a potential to improve the quality of grapefruit juice and may be employed for the processing of grapefruit juice at industrial scale.

This study was conducted to investigate the differences in chemical composition between red (RGBs) and yellow ginseng berries (YGBs) and their whitening and anti-aging skincare effects. The differences in the chemical composition between RGB and YGB were analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole electrostatic field orbit trap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive-MS/MS) combined with multivariate statistics. An aging model was established using UVB radiation induction, and the whitening and anti-aging effects of the two ginseng berries were verified in vitro and in vivo using cell biology (HaCaT and B16-F10 cells) and zebrafish model organisms. A total of 31 differential compounds, including saponins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and other chemical constituents, were identified between the two groups. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was more significantly increased (p< 0.05) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content was more significantly decreased (p< 0.01) in RGB more than YGB induced by UVB ultraviolet radiation. In terms of whitening effects, YGB was more effective in inhibiting the melanin content of B16-F10 cells (p< 0.01). The results of zebrafish experiments were consistent with those of in vitro experiments and cell biology experiments. The DCFH fluorescence staining results revealed that both ginseng berries were able to significantly reduce the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in zebrafish (p< 0.01). Comparison of chemical composition and skin care activities based on RGB and YGB can provide a theoretical basis for the deep development and utilization of ginseng berry resources.

This study concentrated on developing a novel sprayable hydrogel by the combination of a thermosensitive hydrogel (Pluronic F-127, PF-127) and an inclusion complex of glabridin (GLD) and sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD). GLD was encapsulated into SBE-β-CD by the freeze-drying method. The successful encapsulation of the inclusion complex was verified by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The prepared GLD/SBE-β-CD inclusion complex exhibited 93.24%～96.46% encapsulation efficiency and 11.24%～11.93% loading capacity, and GLD/SBE-β-CD showed excellent biocompatibility on human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) and erythrocytes. GLD/SBE-β-CD inclusion complex exerts higher antioxidant and antibacterial activity than GLD alone. The GLD/SBE-β-CD inclusion complex was well dispersed within 20% PF-127 solution to form the PF-127/GLD/SBE-β-CD hydrogel. Introducing the inclusion complex into the PF-127 hydrogel did not influence its loose and porous structure, while PF-127/GLD/SBE-β-CD hydrogel demonstrated controlled GLD release in a sustained manner. The full-thickness skin wound model showed that the PF-127/GLD/SBE-β-CD hydrogel accelerated the healing of traumatic skin defects. In one aspect, the porous and biocompatible structure of the hydrogel provides favorable conditions for skin cell adhesion and proliferation. In another respect, GLD in therapeutic hydrogel markedly promotes the angiogenesis of endothelial cells, and the migration of keratinocytes. It also presents excellent antibacterial properties in wound surface. Taken together, this work established a novel sprayable hydrogel (PF-127/GLD/SBE-β-CD) and proved that it is an effective strategy for traumatic wound healing.

Matteuccia struthiopterisis one of the most globally consumed edible ferns and widely used in folk medicine. Reports mainly focus on young fronds and the rhizome which are common edible medicinal parts. However, there are few detailed reports on other parts. Therefore, the volatile components of different parts based on HS-SPME-GC-MS were identified, and total flavonoid contents, antioxidant activities and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities were compared in order to reveal the difference of volatile components and potential medicinal value of different parts. The results showed that total flavonoid contents, antioxidant activities and volatile components of different parts were obviously different. The crozier exhibited the strongest antioxidant activities, but only underground parts exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition potential against AChE. Common volatile compounds were furfural and 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 5-methyl-. In addition, it was found that some volatile components from adventitious root, trophophyll, sporophyll and petiole were important ingredients in food, cosmetics, industrial manufacturing and pharmaceutical applications.

Sugarcane leaves are a common waste product of sugarcane but contain various active components. To make full use of the value of sugarcane leaves, it shall be urgently developed as a sustainable resource. To compare the differences in structure and activity between acidic sugarcane leaf polysaccharides (ASLs) extracted by different extraction methods, ASLW and ASLM polysaccharides were extracted using hot alkali extraction (HAE) and microwave-assisted hot alkali extraction (MHAE), respectively. The physicochemical properties were analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Then, the antioxidant, hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic and antibacterial activities of ASLW and ASLM were evaluated by the inhibition of oxygen free radicals, the inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase, the binding ability with bile salts and the filter paper method. Molecular weight and monosaccharide composition analyses showed that ASLW (142.23 kDa) and ASLM (98.86 kDa) were heteropolysaccharides with a wide range of monosaccharide types and molar ratios. ASLM is an amorphous polysaccharide with stronger stability. Also in vitro bioactivity analysis showed that ASLM had stronger antioxidant, hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic and antibacterial effects than ASLW. As a sustainable active substance, the use of ASLM will benefit the pharmaceutical, industrial, agricultural, and food industries.
