In the present study, 11 non-anthocyanin polyphenols, gallic acid, protocatechuate, vanillic acid, syringic acid, ferulic acid, quercetin, catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin gallate, gallocatechin gallate and epicatechin gallate-were firstly screened and identified from blueberries using an ultra performance liquid chromatography⁻time of flight mass spectrography (UPLC-TOF/MS) method. Then, a sample preparation method was developed based on vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. The microextraction conditions, including the amount of ethyl acetate, the amount of acetonitrile and the solution pH, were optimized through the multi-objective response surface methodology and desirability function approach. Finally, an ultra performance liquid chromatography⁻triple quadrupole mass spectrography (UPLC-QqQ/MS) method was developed to determine the 11 non-anthocyanin polyphenols in 25 commercial blueberry samples from Sichuan province and Chongqing city. The results show that this new method with high accuracy, good precision and simple operation characteristics, can be used to determine non-anthocyanin polyphenols in blueberries and is expected to be used in the analysis of other fruits and vegetables.

Influence of altitudes and development stages on the chemical composition and antioxidant capacity of Andean blackberries ( Benth).

Article Synopsis
- The Andean blackberry, or "Mora de Castilla," is a high-altitude fruit known for its rich antioxidant phytochemicals, particularly anthocyanins, although the impact of altitude on its chemical properties remains uncertain.
- This research involved collecting blackberry fruits from various altitudes and developmental stages in Ecuador, utilizing methods like hydroalcoholic extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography to analyze phytochemical content and antioxidant activity.
- Results showed that unripe blackberries mainly contain flavonols like quercetin, while ripe blackberries have higher levels of anthocyanins, indicating a shift in dominant compounds as the fruit ripens, with polyphenols initially driving antioxidant capacity and anthocyanins increasing in prominence later on

Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that these co-pigments reduce the degradation of anthocyanins, leading to improved color and antioxidant properties, with quercetin and others being particularly effective.
- * Analysis techniques revealed that these co-pigments form non-covalent complexes with anthocyanins, providing protection against degradation and suggesting their potential to enhance color quality during juice processing.
Inhibitory effect of polyphenols from sumac, pomegranate and Indian almond on urease producing bacteria and jack bean urease activity.

Urinary tract infection caused by Klebsiella, Proteus and Streptococcus is a urease dependent process, hence treatment of these infections by antibacterial compounds lies in inhibition of their virulence factors. The crude methanolic extracts derived from sumac fruit, pomegranate peel and Indian almond leaves were separated into anthocyanin and non-anthocyanin fractions using solid phase cartridges. The inhibitory effect of these fractions was determined on the growth of urease producing species and jack bean urease activity.

The objective of this study was to analyze and optimize the influence of heating time and citric acid (CA) or sucrose addition of Ardisia compressa K. extracts on phenolic compounds (TPC), monomeric anthocyanins (MAA), antioxidant activity (TAC), color density (CD), and hue tint (HT), using a full factorial design. Extractions were performed: temperature (25, 50, or 70 °C), time (15, 30, 60, or 90 min), CA (0.

The wine industry produces large amounts of grape pomace (GP), a waste that needs to be disposed of properly. Bioactive compounds with high added value can be recovered from GP as an interesting strategy to reduce the environmental impact. Here, two different technologies were employed to recover polyphenol compounds from GP: microwave hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE).
