Wine polymeric material (WPM), which includes polysaccharides, proteins, and polyphenolic compounds, interacts with anthocyanins. To determine the contribution of polysaccharides in these interactions, the diffusion performance of anthocyanins along a dialysis membrane was determined in the presence and absence of isolated mannoproteins (MP) and arabinogalactans (AG) from WPM. Furthermore, to estimate the extent of the interaction between WPM and polyphenolic compounds, the activation energy (E) required for their diffusion in the presence of WPM was determined. AG, generally more abundant than MP in wine, interact in a greater extent with anthocyanins, showing their relevant contribution for WPM/anthocyanins interactions. The E for the diffusion of polyphenolic compounds in presence of WPM indicated the occurrence of interactions with relative weak to strong intensities (2.6-50.8kJ/mol). As not all polyphenolic compounds were able to be released from WPM, stronger interactions, possibly by covalent linkages, are involved, providing new insights on WPM/polyphenolic compounds relationships.

Tea (Camellia sinensis) polysaccharides (TPS) and tea polysaccharide conjugates (TPC) are bioactive compounds found in tea leaves and flowers, attracting growing interest for their biological activities and emerging applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Despite substantial progress in tea polyphenol research, studies focusing on TPS and TPC are still relatively underrepresented. This review fills a gap in the literature by summarizing the latest advancements in the extraction, characterization, and biological effects of TPS and TPC.

The growing demand for healthy Tartary buckwheat-based foods has sparked interest in fermentation as a processing technique to enhance food quality and bioactivity. This study investigated the impact of solid-state fermentation of black Tartary buckwheat (BTB) with Monascus purpureus and Eurotium cristatum PW-1 on its quality, biochemical properties, and hypolipidemic potential, using metabolomics, bioinformatics, network pharmacology, and invivo zebrafish models. Fermentation significantly increased total amino acids, γ-aminobutyric acid, and aromatic volatile compounds such as alcohols, esters, terpenes, and terpenoids, enhancing the flavor profile.

Flavonoids are a major class of natural polyphenolic compounds with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Among them, quercetin and catechin have been widely studied due to their significant health benefits and potent free radical scavenging activity. The efficient extraction and separation of these structurally similar antioxidants remains challenging, necessitating the development of high-performance adsorbents.

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a key functional food in the Mediterranean diet, renowned for its multiple health benefits. Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, and bioactive compounds like polyphenols and tocopherols, EVOO helps reduce LDL cholesterol, increase HDL cholesterol, and protect against oxidative stress. Regular consumption is associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Pea shoots (Pisum sativum) are well known to have nutritional benefits when consumed raw; however, the effects of home cooking on their bioactive compounds remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated how different cooking methods affect the antioxidant activity and stability of antioxidants. Our evaluation revealed that antioxidant activity is preserved by steaming but significantly reduced by microwaving and boiling, which also causes weight loss during cooking.
