The content of polyphenols in fruits reported in the literature normally refers to extractable polyphenols (EPP) analyzed in aqueous-organic extracts. However, significant amounts of bioactive compounds that are usually not considered in nutritional studies remain in the residue from extraction as nonextractable polyphenols (NEPP). The main objective of this work was to analyze both EPP and NEPP (hydrolyzable polyphenols and proanthocyanidins). EPP were analyzed in methanol/acetone/water extracts, and NEPP were determined in acidic hydrolysates of extraction residue from apple, peach, and nectarine using HPLC-MS and spectrophotometry. Results showed that the NEPP content (112-126 mg/100 g of fresh fruit) was higher than the EPP content (18.8-28 mg/100 g of fresh fruit). Further analyses of NEPP in other fruits and plant foods consumed in diets are needed to compile a complete database of use for nutritional and biological studies.

Grape pomace (GP) is a by-product rich in phytochemicals, including extractable polyphenols (EPPs) and non-extractable polyphenols (NEPPs), which have distinct metabolic fates that may affect their biological activities. The benefits of GP have been reported in relation to obesity and its comorbidities, particularly when administered preventively focusing on EPPs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of EPPs and NEPPs from GP as a treatment for obesity and its associated metabolic alterations.

Undaria pinnatifida (Up) is an edible seaweed known for its abundant nutrients and active compounds. In this research, six different methods, including acid hydrolysis extraction (AHE), alkaline hydrolysis extraction (LHE), enzymatic hydrolysis extraction (EHE), as well as their combinations with ultrasonic assisted extraction (AHE-U, LHE-U, EHE-U), were applied to extract non-extractable polyphenols from Up (UNEPPs). Results revealed that LHE-U was the most effective way to extract UNEPPs, it gave the highest yield (1.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the bioactive compounds and antioxidant potential in extractable (EP) and non-extractable (NEP) polyphenol fractions of berrycactus (BC), identifying 33 polyphenols, some of which were new to BC.
- - Male Sprague Dawley rats were used to assess the effects of BC and its residue (BCR) on early colon cancer development induced by AOM/DSS, revealing that BC and BCR helped reduce colonic damage and aberrant crypt foci.
- - The NEP fractions, especially those treated with HCl, showed strong antioxidant activity and higher total phenolic content, indicating that these compounds could play a role in preventing early colon carcinogenesis while maintaining
Cocoa and Polyphenol-Rich Cocoa Fractions Fail to Improve Acute Colonic Inflammation in Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Treated Mice.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates whether cocoa and its polyphenol-rich fractions have anti-inflammatory effects in a mouse model of acute colonic inflammation induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS).
- - Male mice received dietary cocoa treatments for two weeks before and during DSS-induced inflammation, but cocoa did not prevent weight loss or reduced colon size, although it improved spleen enlargement.
- - Overall, the findings indicate that cocoa and cocoa polyphenols are not effective in reducing acute colonic inflammation, as evidenced by inflammatory markers and the similarity of treated mice to the control group subjected to DSS.

This study was designed to elucidate the colon microbiota-targeted release of nonextractable bound polyphenols (NEPs) derived from Fu brick tea and to further identify the possible anti-inflammatory mechanism in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. 1.5% DSS drinking water-induced C57BL/6J mice were fed rodent chow supplemented with or without 8% NEPs or dietary fibers (DFs) for 37 days.
