Abstract

Vitis vinifera L. is a natural source of bioactive compounds that is already used for cosmeceutical and nutraceutical approaches. However, their phytochemical and antioxidant properties, although studied, have not been fully explored. We aimed to characterize V. vinifera L. cv. Falanghina seed extracts in different polarity solvents (hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and a mixture of acetone–water) for their phytochemical contents, including the total phenolic compound content (TPC), free radical scavenging capacities, and antioxidant ability on HepG2 cells. We directly profiled the functional quality of V. vinifera seed extracts against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells, focusing on mitochondrial functions. The content of bioactive compounds was characterized by LC-MS. To assess the cytocompatibility of the extracts, a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was conducted. Results showed that extraction with ethyl acetate (18.12 mg GAE·g−1) and ethanol solvents (18.07 mg GAE·g−1), through Soxhlet, and with an acetone–water mixture (14.17 mg GAE·g−1), through maceration, yielded extracts rich in (poly)phenols, with good scavenging and antioxidant activity (98.32 I% for ethanol solvents and 96.31 I% for acetone–water mixture). The antioxidant effect of polyphenols is at least partially due to their capacity to maintain mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy, which elevates mitochondrial efficiency, resulting in diminished ROS production, hence re-establishing the mitochondrial quality control. These findings highlight the valorization of Vitis by-products to improve food functional characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

42. Plants named “Lotus” in antiquity: Historiography, biogeography, and ethnobotany

Abstract

In ancient times, several plants were named “lotus.” They assumed very important roles in the religions and art of many cultures, but historiography and descriptions of the various plants called “lotus” have always been poor. The aim of this work is to define what plant species correspond to the ancient name “lotus.” Through analysis of classical texts and other historiographical sources, three types of “lotus” have been identified: “arboreal lotus,” “herbaceous lotus,” and “aquatic lotus.” From the sources examined, several botanical species have been identified for each “lotus” category. In the “arboreal lotus” category there are two species of Ziziphus: Z. lotus and Z. spina-christi. The “herbaceous lotus” include several species in Fabaceae that have been called “lotus,” more specifically in the genera Melilotus, Lotus, Trifolium, and Trigonella. In the last category, “aquatic lotus,” are two species of Nymphaea L. (N. lotus and N. nouchali var. caerulea) and the sacred Indian lotus (Nelumbo nucifera). The attributions of these species have been validated by research on their biogeography and ethnobotanical uses.

Abstract

The circular economy is an important concept in many areas of the world, many production sectors and above all within agricultural and food production. The agro-food sector has become especially aware of the problem of disposal and/or reuse of waste, which is better defined as "secondary raw materials" (SRM). The SRM of agro-food origin have an important value quantified in molecular and functional compounds. We have reviewed many documents concerning food wastes and their re-evaluation as SRM in the agro-food industrial chain. In this work, we gathered scientific literature from the last 60 years regarding not only this concept but also the actual SRM composition of food and which among those can be obtained in compliance with the principle of a circular economy. Initially, our goal was to research and highlight SRMs derived from the processing and conservation of fruit. The results showed the current state of both SRM production and their possible and current use. The data revealed that the main sectors in witch SRM are actually employed are chemical, pharmaceutical, food and nutraceutical ones. We also found that the amount of discarded parts overall represents 50% for all fruit families. In a systematic way, the gaps that the current system shows in the aspects of the valorisation of the SRM have been highlighted. The wide diversity of uses for SRMs obtained from food have emerged a common factor and a guiding thread for the evaluation of these by products. Their reutilization has been highlighted considering different families of fruit plants and the SRMs produced within. [Display omitted] • The studies on secondary raw materials (SRM) hugely increased in the last 60 years. • The SRM are used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and nutraceutical sectors. • The total quantity of parts discarded represents 50% for all fruit families. • About 60% of Eriaceae (berry fruits) are actually discarded. • Peel is the most frequently discarded part.
