The aim of this work was to study the changes in the functional characteristics of a fermented maize product containing fruits, and enriched with phytosterols. Functional characteristics (natural antioxidants and phytosterols content, in vitro antioxidant capacity and probiotic viability), lipid oxidation, and physicochemical parameters were investigated during 4 weeks of storage at 4 °C. The differences between one formulation elaborated with semi-skimmed powdered milk (Basic Product) and another with whey protein isolate (WPI Product) were evaluated.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the "French paradox" has contributed to a growing interest in the investigation of the biological activity of red wine polyphenols (RWP). The main goal of this research is to provide valuable information on how RWP could exert their biological action at the cellular level. So, we report a proteomic analysis of exposed to both pro-oxidant (HO) and antioxidant (wine) agents.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the changes on phenolic composition and AC (antioxidant capacity) of white grape and its winemaking product, during in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) digestion. Phenolic compounds were evaluated by HPLC-MS/MS. The AC was measured by in vitro (FRAP, ABTS and DPPH) and cellular (Caco-2 cells) assays.
