Antioxidant compounds and activities of var. and its processed products.

var. 'Antisperill' has stronger anti-inflammatory effects than the original cultivar (red perilla), but studies on its bioactive compounds are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant compounds and activity of red perilla and 'Antisperill', as well as their processed products using freeze drying (FD) and microwave-assisted low temperature vacuum drying (MVD).

Comparative Analysis of Polyphenol Content and Antioxidant Activity of Different Parts of Five Onion Cultivars Harvested in Korea.

Onions are typically consumed as the bulb, but the peel and root are discarded as by-products during processing. This study investigated the potential functional use of these by-products by analyzing the polyphenols, antioxidant compounds, and antioxidant activity contained in onions. In this study, the bulb, peel, and root of five onion cultivars ('Tank', 'Bomul', 'Gujji' 'Cobra', and 'Hongbanjang') harvested in Korea were investigated.

Analysis of the Chemical, Antioxidant, and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Pink Pepper ( L.).

Here, we compared the chemical properties and antioxidant effects of black pepper ( L.) and pink pepper ( L.).

Application of purified porcine collagen in patients with chronic refractory musculoskeletal pain.

Background: This study aimed to assess the potential efficacy of purified porcine atelocollagen (PAC) for the management of refractory chronic pain due to suspected connective tissue damage.

Methods: Patients treated with PAC were retrospectively evaluated. Patients with chronic refractory pain, suspected to have originated from musculoskeletal damage or defects with the evidence of imaging studies were included.

Antibacterial and in vitro antidementia effects of aronia () leaf extracts.

This study investigated the antibacterial and in vitro antidementia effects of aronia () leaf extracts from 3 cultivars (Nero, Viking, and McKenzie) collected at three different stages of maturity (young, harvest, and old). was susceptible to the old leaves of cultivars McKenzie and Nero, whereas O157:H7, Typhimurium, and were not inhibited by any of the extracts. Growth of was inhibited by cv.

Assessment of Physicochemical Quality, Antioxidant Content and Activity, and Inhibition of Cholinesterase between Unripe and Ripe Blueberry Fruit.

Five Korean blueberries (''Nelson'', ''Duke '', ''Bluejay '', ''Toro'', and ''Elliot '') were harvested at two maturity stages (unripe and ripe) to evaluate fruit quality and antioxidant activities. The Hunter L, a, and b color of ripe blueberries was lower than that of unripe fruit. Soluble solid concentration (SSC) and pH increased, and titratable acidity (TA) and firmness decreased as the blueberries matured.

Influence of ripening stage and cultivar on physicochemical properties, sugar and organic acid profiles, and antioxidant compositions of strawberries.

The current study compared the physicochemical properties, antioxidant compounds and activities, of unripe and ripe fruits of three cultivars (Seolhyang, Janghee, and Maehyang) of strawberries grown in Korea. As fruits matured, their soluble solids content increased and their organic acid content decreased. Total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) did not differ between Seolhyang and Maehyang fruits, regardless of maturity, whereas unripe Janghee fruits showed higher TPC and TFC than ripe fruits.

Influence of Ripening Stage and Cultivar on Physicochemical Properties and Antioxidant Compositions of Aronia Grown in South Korea.

The present study investigated the fruits of aronia () across different stages of maturity and analyzed their physicochemical properties, antioxidant compositions, and activities. The selected aronia cultivars ('Viking', 'McKenzie', and 'Kingstar K1' were categorized based on maturity into the immature stage (red tip), intermediary stage (red), and mature stage (dark purple). The key sugar components of aronia fruits were fructose, glucose, and sorbitol, while the main organic acid was found to be malic acid.

Which Two-dimensional Radiographic Measurements of Cam Femoroacetabular Impingement Best Describe the Three-dimensional Shape of the Proximal Femur?

Background: Many two-dimensional (2-D) radiographic views are used to help diagnose cam femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), but there is little consensus as to which view or combination of views is most effective at visualizing the magnitude and extent of the cam lesion (ie, severity). Previous studies have used a single image from a sequence of CT or MR images to serve as a reference standard with which to evaluate the ability of 2-D radiographic views and associated measurements to describe the severity of the cam lesion. However, single images from CT or MRI data may fail to capture the apex of the cam lesion.

Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy as a rapid and non-destructive analysis tool for curcuminoids in turmeric.

Introduction: Turmeric has been widely used in curry powders as the main spice. Conventional chemical analysis such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) may take several hours to extract curcuminoids and prepare samples in many turmeric processing industries.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate curcuminoids in turmeric powder using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS).

Effects of Egg Shell Membrane Hydrolysates on Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-Wrinkle, Anti-Microbial Activity and Moisture-Protection.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of eggshell membrane hydrolysates (ESMH) on the anti-inflammatory, anti-wrinkle, anti-microbial activity, and moisture-protection for cosmetic use. Whole ESMH (before fractionation), and fraction I (>10 kDa), fraction II (3-10 kDa), and fraction III (<3 kDa) of the hydrolysates were assessed in this experiment. As lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IFN-γ caused the inflammation on Raw264.

Optimization and validation of high-performance liquid chromatography method for individual curcuminoids in turmeric by heat-refluxed extraction.

Turmeric is a plant in the Zingiberaceae family which contains curcuminoids as anticancer agents and has been widely used as a main ingredient in curry powder. However, there is a lack of suitable high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) methods for reducing sample preparation time and peak resolution improvement of curcuminoids (bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and curcumin). No significant differences in yield concentrations were observed after 60 min of heat-refluxed extraction (p < 0.
