The commercial application potential of hot water treatments against 1-Methylcyclopropane (1-MCP) for maintaining quality fruit in quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill. cv. ‘Eşme’) during long-term regular air storage was investigated. fruits were treated with either at 50 ± 1 °C 3 and 5 min or two different 1-MCP (SmartFreshSM) concentrations (300 ppb 1000 ppb) 12 20 h. Then, all stored 0 temperature,...

The fruit of Stauntoniahexaphylla is commonly used as a traditional anthelmintic in Korea, Japan, and China. However, its anti-inflammatory activity and the underlying mechanisms have not been studied systematically. In the present study, we examined the anti-inflammatory activities of an aqueous extract of S. hexaphylla fruit (SHF) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 cells. The SHF...

Human subjects drank coffee containing 412 mumol of chlorogenic acids, and plasma and urine were collected 0 to 24 h after ingestion and were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Within 1 h, some of the components in the coffee reached nanomole peak plasma concentrations (C(max)), whereas chlorogenic acid metabolites, including caffeic acid-3-O-sulfate and ferul...

Previous in vitro studies the have suggested anti-inflammatory properties of caffeine. Coffee is also rich phenolic acids with several potential health benefits (chlorogenic acids), mainly 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA). The aim present study was to determine effect caffeine and 5-CQA, using concentrations comparable typical human consumption, on LPS-induced cytokine production whole blood cultu...

Recent investigations demonstrated that the reaction of odor-active thiols such as 2-furfurylthiol with thermally generated chlorogenic acid degradation products is responsible for the rapid aroma staling of coffee beverages. To get a clear understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying this aroma staling, the existence of putative phenol/thiol conjugates needs to be verified in coffee. T...

Background: Ethnobotanical investigations conducted in Turkey demonstrated that Jasminum fruticans L. extract and fruit juice had been used against parasites animals. In this study, the possible antihelmintic activity of various J. extracts contributing to its traditional use, was relatively assessed. addition, antioxidant potentials phytochemical composition were investigated since there is a ...
