Article Abstract

In recent years, kaempferol, a natural flavonoid present in various fruits and vegetables, has received significant attention in gastrointestinal cancer research due to its varied therapeutic effects. Kaempferol has been proven to alter several molecular mechanisms and pathways, such as the PI3/Akt, mTOR, and Erk/MAPK pathway involved in cancer progression, showing its inhibitory effects on cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, metastasis, and migration. Kaempferol is processed in the liver and small intestine, but limited bioavailability has been a major concern in the clinical implications of kaempferol. Nano formulations have been proven to enhance kaempferol's efficacy in cancer prevention. The synergy of nanotechnology and kaempferol has shown promising results in studies, highlighting the importance for more research and clinical trials to determine safety and efficacy. This review aims to focus on the role of kaempferol in various types of gastrointestinal cancer and how the combination of kaempferol with nanotechnology helps in improving therapeutic efficacy in cancer treatment.

Coconut flesh, the solid endosperm, of coconut, which is rich in fat, protein and polyphenols. To investigate the impact of ultrasound treatment on the biosynthesis of polyphenols in tender coconut flesh during storage, the targeted metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses were employed. A total of 36 phenolic compounds were identified, of which catechin, epicatechin, gossypol and vanillic acid were the most abundant ones in 'Hainan Tall' coconut flesh.

Tofu from six different landraces of chilean common beans (Araucano, Cimarrón, Magnum, Peumo, Sapito, and Tortola) was prepared and analyzed for proximate and lipid composition, antioxidant capacity, and phenolic content. Tofu has higher protein and lipid content, lower carbohydrate and phenolic content, and shows antioxidant capacity. The highest total protein was found for tofu prepared from Cimarrón and Sapito beans.
