Six species of Juglandaceae have been checked for the occurrence of flavonoid aglycones on their leaf and fruit surfaces. Except for one, they exhibit flavonols, mostly methyl ethers of kaempferol and quercetin, including 6-O-substituted derivatives. Apigenin and acacetin are the only flavones found so far. Flavonoids accumulated on leaves are different from those excreted on green fruits. It has become evident that in future studies greater attention must be paid to the localization of flavonoid aglycones in different plant organs.

This study presents the development of an analytical characterization strategy tailored to end products derived from an alfalfa ()-based biorefinery with particular emphasis on protein concentrates and phenolic-enriched fractions. Our approach began with a comprehensive full-factorial experimental design aimed at optimizing the extraction process, taking care to design a biocompatible extraction protocol. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) techniques were used to characterize the molecular profile of the extracts.

Background: Processing methods of traditional Chinese medicinal materials are critical in influencing the active metabolites and pharmacological effects. The fresh processing method effectively prevents the loss and degradation of metabolites, common in traditional drying and softening processes, while also reducing production costs. (AR), a leguminous botanical drug, is widely utilized in clinical practice and functional foods.

Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression or phenotypic changes that occur without changing the gene sequence. The main methods of epigenetics include non-coding RNA, histone modification, and DNA modification, which play an essential role in gene expression regulation and even the occurrence of diverse diseases. Naringenin, the aglycone form of naringin, is a natural flavonoid compound mainly found in fruits or plant derivatives such as citrus, tomatoes, and cherries.

This study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics of ginkgo flavone aglycone(GA) in plasma after oral administration of GA in normal and atherosclerosis(AS) model rats and to explore the mechanism of pharmacokinetic differences. The AS rats were prepared by using high-fat diets. Rats in the normal and AS model groups were orally given 200 mg·kg~(-1) GA, blood samples were collected at different time points, plasma was separated, and the plasma concentrations of quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin in the normal and AS model groups were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS).
