Pectin-Based Bioplastics Functionalized with Polyphenols from Rose Oil Distillation Wastewater Exhibit Antioxidant Activity.

This study explored the potential of rose aqueous extract (RE), a byproduct of rose essential oil extraction, to enhance the properties of biobased food packaging materials. RE contained a high phenolic content (153 mg of GAE/g of dw), rich in hydroxybenzoic acids and flavonols. The antioxidant potential of RE, assessed by DPPH assay, was evaluated (IC = 2.

In Vitro Functional Properties of Rosehips from 'Aurora' Edible Garden Rose's Collection.

Although they have been extensively studied in many species of the genus L., garden roses' hips have largely been overlooked. To investigate their potential use in the food industry, this study evaluated five cultivars from 'Aurora' collection: 'Purple Aurora', 'Berry Bush Aurora', 'Aromatic Aurora', 'Butterfly Aurora', and 'Rugose White Aurora'.

Valorization of Strawberry Juice Production Wastewater: Possibilities for Polyphenols Recovery and Plant Biostimulant Production.

Fruit juice production is one of the most important branches of the food and beverage industry, considering both the market size and demand. It is also one of the largest generators of industrial wastewater, considering the large consumption of fresh water during fruit processing. Hence, the appropriate treatment strategies are of the utmost importance to minimize the environmental footprint of food industry effluents.

Beyond Mortality: Exploring the Influence of Plant Phenolics on Modulating Ferroptosis-A Systematic Review.

Ferroptosis is a recently discovered type of programmed cell death that is mechanistically different from other types of programmed cell death such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and autophagy. It is characterized by the accumulation of intracellular iron, overproduction of reactive oxygen species, depletion of glutathione, and extensive lipid peroxidation of lipids in the cell membrane. It was discovered that ferroptosis is interconnected with many diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, ischemia/reperfusion injury, cancer, and chronic kidney disease.

New Garden Rose ( × ) Genotypes with Intensely Colored Flowers as Rich Sources of Bioactive Compounds.

Garden roses, known as × , hold a prominent position as one of the most important and economically valuable plants in horticulture. Additionally, their products-essential oil, rose water, concrete, and concentrate-find extensive use in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries, due to their specific fragrances and potential health benefits. Rose flowers are rich in biologically active compounds, such as phenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and carotenoids.

Recovery of Polyphenols from Rosehip Seed Waste Using Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents and Ultrasonic Waves Simultaneously.

Rosehips are processed and consumed in numerous forms, such as juice, wine, herbal tea, yogurt, preserved fruit, and canned products. The seeds share in fruit is 30-35% and they have recently been recognized as an important source of oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids. However, after defatting, seed waste may still contain some polar polyphenolic compounds, which have been scarcely investigated.

Traditional uses of autochthonous medicinal and ritual plants and other remedies for health in Eastern and South-Eastern Serbia.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: River and mountain regions in Eastern and South-Eastern Serbia are geographically interesting and, historically they represent an important resource of plants used as food, spices and as remedies for treating many diseases. Different cultures have lived in these regions for ages. They have used wild plants and the methods of their preparation and application, which has remained throughout the history and now is passed on from generation to generation.
