Effects of processing technologies on the antioxidant properties of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris) proteins and their hydrolysates.

Researchers found that ultrasound, heat treatment, and microfluidization, combined with enzymatic hydrolysis, enhance antioxidant properties and protein solubility in bean and lentil protein hydrolysates, indicating potential for improving these proteins' antioxidant properties.

Unravelling phenolic metabotypes in the frame of the COMBAT study, a randomized, controlled trial with cranberry supplementation.

Cranberry consumption affects plasma and urine metabolites, with variations among individuals. Three phenolic metabotypes were identified, mainly driven by colonic metabolism. This innovative approach helps understand (poly)phenol metabolism and individual differences, contributing to studying the health effects of cranberries and other (poly)phenol-rich foods.

Attenuation of CFA-induced chronic inflammation by a bicyclic monoterpene fenchone targeting inducible nitric oxide, prostaglandins, C-reactive protein and urea.

Fenchone, found in certain plants, has strong anti-inflammatory properties. In a rat model, it reduced pro-inflammatory markers and improved symptoms of chronic joint inflammation, suggesting therapeutic potential for inflammatory disorders.
