Effect of the partial substitution of mango and ground chia on the antioxidant capacity in the elaboration of nectar based on sachatomate.

Summary

Chia and sachatomate substituted for mango in nectar increase antioxidant capacity, improving health. Sample 12 showed highest levels in DPPH and ABTS methods, making it ideal for consumption.

In Vitro Study of the Blood-Brain Barrier Transport of Natural Compounds Recovered from Agrifood By-Products and Microalgae.

Summary

Researchers tested green extracts from agricultural by-products and microalgae for their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and deliver potentially neuroprotective compounds to the brain. The extracts were tested using an in vitro model and were found to have a high permeability for neuroprotective compounds. The results suggest that these extracts could be used in food supplements, food additives, or nutraceuticals that claim to have neuroprotective effects.

Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability Study of Potential Neuroprotective Compounds Recovered From Plants and Agri-Food by-Products.

Summary

Researchers used various extraction techniques to recover bioactive compounds from several plants and woods. These extracts were then tested for their neuroprotective properties and submitted to phytochemical profiling. The most promising extract was from acacia, which showed strong neuroprotective capacity and high perfusion capacity. Tamarillo and rosemary extracts were non-toxic, while acacia and lenga extracts were mild-cytotoxic, and kalanchoe was highly toxic. These extracts could potentially be used to create valuable food additives, supplements, or nutraceuticals with neuroprotective properties.

Neuroprotective Potential of Tamarillo (Cyphomandra betacea) Epicarp Extracts Obtained by Sustainable Extraction Process.

Summary

Researchers obtained extracts from tamarillo fruit and optimized the extraction process for neuroprotective properties. The optimized extract showed high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity and inhibited enzymes associated with Alzheimer's disease without toxicity. Chemical characterization revealed key metabolites responsible for the observed biological properties. The study suggests that tamarillo extracts could have potential as a natural by-product with multiple benefits for Alzheimer's disease.
