In vivo tracking of grape marc biomarkers, bioconversion, metabolic tracers, and microbiota modulation in swine fed a polyphenol-rich extract diet.

This work evaluated the addition of the polyphenol-rich bioactive extract "e-Vitis", derived from grape marc (the main by-product of the wine industry), into swine feed. This was performed with the aim of testing the in vivo bioavailability of functional compounds, mainly phenolics, through the digestive system and excreta, together with the detection of bioconversion products associated with gut microbiota improvements. Additionally, the palatability of e-Vitis feed was evaluated, as well as the absence of metabolites that could compromise its innocuity.

Phytochemical and antioxidant comparison of and acorn extracts obtained by matrix solid-phase dispersion.

Oak ( spp.) acorns are used in animal feed and in the treatment of specific diseases due to their nutritional value and high content of bioactive compounds. The aim of the present work is to investigate and compare polyphenolic compounds and the antioxidant activity of and acorn extracts.

Study of the Antibacterial Activity of Rich Polyphenolic Extracts Obtained from against Foodborne Pathogens.

Natural extracts containing high polyphenolic concentrations may act as good antimicrobials for their antibacterial and antibiofilm activity. The present research characterizes two hydro-organic extracts with high polyphenolic content, obtained from the shrub as antipathogenic candidates. As a result of their own composition, both extracts, LE050 and PG050, have shown pronounced bioactivities with potential uses, especially in agricultural, livestock production, food manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries.

The generally recognized as safe (GRAS) microalgae (wet) as a multifunctional additive for coloring and improving the organoleptic and functional properties of foods.

This work proposes the application of astaxanthin-rich wet paste (HPW) as a partial substitute for wheat flour in the preparation of filloas, a dish that combines the basic ingredients of industrial bakery. The nutritional and color profile of HPW-enriched samples was evaluated by comparative analysis with a mixture of synthetic food dyes. The highest content of carotenoids (798 ± 12 μg g) and fatty acids (76 ± 2 mg g) was obtained for a filloa fortified with in contrast to a non-significant dye response.

Bioprospecting of Targeted Phenolic Compounds of , , , and from the Adriatic Sea Extracted by Two Green Methods.

The content of bioactive compounds in four brown and one red algae from the Adriatic Sea (, , and ) is explored. The efficiency of two different extraction methods viz. ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) to obtain the extracts rich in phenolic compounds was compared.

Optimization of bioactives extraction from grape marc via a medium scale ambient temperature system and stability study.

A scalable procedure with minimum energy requirements, MSAT (Medium Scale Ambient Temperature), in combination with solvents generally recognized as safe (GRAS), has been optimized to obtain polyphenolic extracts from white grape () marc. The solvents considered were propylene glycol (Pg), ethanol (Et), and ethyl lactate (Lc), as well as their respective hydro-organic mixtures. In a first approach, the operating parameters were optimized through a response surface matrix: extraction solvent volume (range 10-150 mL), marc mass (range 20-200 g) and marc/dispersant mass ratio (range 0.

Matrix solid-phase dispersion as a greener alternative to obtain bioactive extracts from . Characterization by UHPLC-QToF.

So far, research on the microalga has been focused mainly on the exploitation of its high astaxanthin content, leaving aside the use of other bioactive compounds present. This study is focused on obtaining and characterizing extracts enriched in bioactive compounds from this microalga red aplanospores. This is performed by means of Matrix Solid-Phase Dispersion (MSPD) extraction process, in an environmentally friendly way with low energy consumption and GRAS solvents.
