The present study reports, for the first time, the results of the antioxidant capacity and the phenolic composition of a hot water extract from red maple buds (RMB), as well as its safety. In this regard and comparatively to antioxidant standards, this extract exhibits a significant antiradical capacity when tested by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH ) and anion superoxide trapping assays. High-resolution mass spectrometric and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses permitted to determine for the first time, in red maple species, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-galactoside, quercetin-3-O-arabinoside, and quercetin. Also, the quantification of individual phenolics by high-performance liquid chromatography method revealed that ginnalin A at 117.0 mg/g is the major compound of RMB hot water extract. Finally, using flow cytometry evaluation, the extract of RMB was determined to have no toxicity neither to cause significant modification of apoptosis process, up to concentration of 100 μg/ml, on human peripheral blood neutrophils. These results allow anticipating various fields of application of RMB water extract.

Castor bean (Ricinus communis) is cultivated agriculturally for oil and ornamentally for its bright foliage and seed. Ornamental castor bean has naturalized in many areas of the world, including the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, where it is not planted commercially. In a survey conducted in 2019 in Sinaloa, wild castor bean was found widely affected by a foliar blight with symptoms similar to Alternaria ricini previously described in the United States (Stevenson 1945) and in the state of Chiapas, Mexico (López-Guillén et al.

Intrinsic skin aging is a chronological decline in skin texture and function influenced largely by genetic factors. Aged skin exhibits morphological alterations, including wrinkling, dryness, and roughness, along with dysfunctional changes in the skin barrier. In this study, the in vivo anti-intrinsic aging efficacy of dietary astaxanthin extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis on the skin was evaluated using aged C57BL/6 J mice.

Introduction: Phenolic compounds garner interest in developing medicines, nutraceuticals, and cosmeceuticals based on natural products. The quantity of phenolic compounds in a sample is commonly determined via spectrophotometry; however, this instrumented technique is relatively laborious and time consuming and requires a large amount of reagents.
Objective: This work aimed to develop a simple, point-of-need colorimetric sensor to rapidly determine total phenolic content (TPC) in tea extracts.

Background: Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare inborn error of lysine metabolism. To date, diagnosis of PDE relies on the quantification of α-AminoAdipic SemiAldehyde (α- AASA), Piperideine-6-Carboxylate (P6C) and Pipecolic acid (PA) in urine or plasma from patients with overt symptoms. However, these biomarkers are not specific, and their biochemical analysis is challenged by their instability and technical limitations.

Synthetic dye production and the consequent generation of dye-rich wastewater are major concerns of water quality in many countries. We developed a sustainable approach with deep eutectic solvent (DES) treatment to enhance the efficiency of mixed cellulose ester (MCE) membrane-based dye removal material. The DES composition and treatment conditions were optimized, and the treated membranes were comprehensively characterized.
