A Design of Experiments Approach to the Radical-Induced Oxidation of Dimeric C4-C8 Linked B-Type Procyanidins.

Department of Molecular Food Chemistry and Development, Institute of Food and One Health, Leibniz University Hannover, 30167 Hannover, Germany.
This study systematically investigated the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical induced oxidation of all dimeric C4-C8 linked B-type procyanidins (PCs) B1-B4 to maximise the formation of the oxidation products using a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach. The C4-C8 linked B1 and B2 formed the A1 () and A2 () (/ 575 [M-H]) with an ether bridge between C2u-O-C7t as expected. Interestingly, the oxidation of the C4-C8 linked dimers B3 and B4 yielded for each two main oxidation products with / 575 [M-H].

Background: Blackcurrant ( L.) leaves are valuable sources of bioactive compounds, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to their potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
Objectives: The overall aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial potential of extracts rich in bioactive compounds from blackcurrant leaves prepared in natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs).
Revisiting dietary proanthocyanidins on blood glucose homeostasis from a multi-scale structural perspective.

Multi-dimensional studies have consistently indicated the benefits of dietary proanthocyanidins on blood glucose homeostasis through consumption of them from fruits, cereals and nuts. Proanthocyanidins from various sources possess different structures, but even the minor variations in structures influence their regulation on blood glucose, including the degree of polymerization, galloacylation at C3, number of hydroxyl groups in B ring and linkage type. Therefore, this Review details the role of three types of proanthocyanidins (procyanidins, prodelphinidins and propelargonidins) in blood glucose control and their underlying mechanisms, and various structural features contribute to.

Postharvest pericarp browning, caused primarily by the enzymatic oxidation of phenols, reduces the shelf life and market value of litchi fruit and is considered a major limitation for the development of the litchi industry. Previous studies have shown that polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is a key enzyme and that flavonoids are important substrates for enzymatic browning; however, direct evidence is still lacking. This study investigated the differences in the browning process among the wild type (WT) and four PPO gene-edited litchi calli to verify the function of PPO in the browning of litchi tissues.
