Anthocyanins are present in blackberries and can be used the food industry as visual indicators that allow understanding color variations related to quality of a food. The purpose this study was evaluated castilla blackberry (Rubus glaucus Benth) wild adenotrichos) were assessed considering type raw material; fresh lyophilized (22°C, 4.3 mbar, 7 days), pretreatment with microwaves (2450 MHz, 30...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major diabetic complications and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Abnormal angiogenesis results in new vessels that are often immature and play a pathological role in DN, contributing to renal fibrosis and disrupting glomerular failure. Purple corn has been utilized as a daily food and exerts disease-preventive activities. This study was desi...

Six species of lesser known edible fruits from Western Ghats of India were analysed for their anthocyanin, ascorbic acid, total phenolics and flavonoid levels and their antioxidant activities using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. The data obtained shown the anthocyanin, ascorbic acid, total phenolics and flavonoid levels were significantly higher in the methanol extract of Maho...

The antioxidative activity of three anthocyanin pigments, extracted from the fruits of chokeberry, honeysuckle and sloe, were studied. Lipid oxidation in the liposome membrane, induced by UV radiation, was evaluated with a thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances assay. The antioxidant efficiency of the studied compounds follows this sequence: chokeberry > sloe > honeysuckle. The extract concent...

Sicana odorifera is a native fruit of South America large in size. Its dark-colored skin constitutes useful byproduct for obtaining bioactive molecules because it rich polyphenolic compounds, such as anthocyanins. Obtaining appropriate extracts anthocyanins can be multiple applications the food industry or phytopharmaceuticals. In this work, and its peel composition were evaluated, an anthocyan...

In the present study, we propose a novel field-scale analytical tool for rapid screening of microbiological quality in raw milk using aqueous extracts plant materials, i.e. flowers (e.g. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. and Clitoria ternatea), taproots Beta vulgaris) pricklypears Opuntia dillenii). For each extract, colour changes were evaluated between 4.5 6.5 pH against resazurin dye as control. The...

In the Republic of Benin, several plants, including Zea mays Linn (Z. mays) are used for treatment diabetes without any scientific studies showing their effectiveness. The objective this study is to investigate effects Z. leaves’ extracts on hyperglycaemic rabbits using Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), 2 g/kg (D) + glucose and hepatic liberation. Phytochemical screening revealed that plant l...
