AI Article Synopsis
- The study explored the transformation of cinnamic acid, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid using cultured cells from the plant Phytolacca americana as biocatalysts.
- Regioselective hydroxylation was specifically noted at the 4-position for cinnamic acid and the 3-position for p-coumaric acid.
- While cinnamic acid produced mono-glucosides, other acids, including p-coumaric, caffeic, and ferulic, underwent di-glycosylation during biotransformation.
Article Abstract
Hydroxylation and glycosylation of cinnamic acid, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid were investigated using cultured plant cells of Phytolacca americana as biocatalysts. Regioselective hydroxylation at the 4-position of cinnamic acid and 3-position of p-coumaric acid was observed. Although cinnamic acid was transformed to mono-glucoside products, di-glycosylation occurred in the case of the biotransformation of p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid.

In this work, two novel (-)-menthol-based hydrophobic natural eutectic solvents with vanillin and cinnamic acid were prepared and applied as extraction solvents. In this regard, 12 endocrine disruptors, including phenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol, 2,3,6-trimethylphenol, 4--butylphenol, 4--butylphenol, 4--amylphenol, 4--hexylphenol, 4--octylphenol, 4--heptylphenol, 4--octylphenol, and 4--nonylphenol and bisphenol A, were studied in a green tea drink. A temperature-controlled liquid-liquid microextraction was used as the extraction method, and nano-liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection was used as the separation and determination system.

The flavor evolution of yellow peaches during ripening was investigated using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS), metabolomics, and electronic sensoristic techniques. Of the 41 volatiles quantified, 13 increased the intensity of the aroma based on the odor activity values (OAVs). Additionally, 142 non-volatile compounds were identified.

Mycotoxins pose significant health risks due to their prevalence in food products and severe health implications, including carcinogenicity. This study investigates the bioavailability of mycotoxins aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA), and zearalenone (ZEN) individually and combined, in the presence of identified polyphenols from tiger nut beverage (TNB) and tiger nut by-product (TNBP) using the in vitro model Caco-2 cells, which simulates the human intestinal barrier. The objective is to understand how bioactive compounds from TNBP can mitigate the effects of AFB1, OTA and ZEN (and their combination) by bioavailability interference, contributing to safer food products and innovative food safety strategies.

Bone marrow hematopoietic injury encompasses a range of pathological conditions that disrupt the normal function of the hematopoietic system, primarily through the impaired production and differentiation of bone marrow hematopoietic cells. Key pathogenic mechanisms include aging, radiation damage, chemical induction, infection and inflammation, and cross-talk with non-hematopoietic diseases. These pathological factors often lead to myelosuppression and myeloid skewing.
