The current study aimed to evaluate how the harvest time affects the phenolic composition in Burdock root flours (BRF) and how these phenolics are influenced by the gastro-intestinal digestive environment. Burdock roots were harvested in 2020 in Jiangsu Province in June (B1), July (B2) and August (B3). The main phenolic, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA) decreased after in vitro digestion from 1.14 to 0.22 mg/g (B1 < B2 < B3). Total phenolic content of BRF was 61% lower after in vitro digestion whereas 5-CQA bioaccessibility remained at about 60%. Twelve other phenolic compounds were tentatively identified after in vitro digestion. An average reduction in antioxidant capacity of 27% and 10% was observed for DPPH and ABTS, respectively. In conclusion, data demonstrated that phenolic composition, bioaccessibility and antioxidant capacity of Burdock roots harvested at different times were subject to the influence of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.

Introduction: Aqueous stem bark extracts of Aspidosperma rigidum Rusby, Couroupita guianensis Aubl., Monteverdia laevis (Reissek) Biral, and Protium sagotianum Marchand have been reported as traditional remedies in several countries of the Amazonian region. Despite previous research, further investigation to characterize secondary metabolites and the biological activity of extracts is needed to derive potential applications.

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of ultrasound maceration of cold-pressed oils with freeze-dried mullein flowers (Verbascum thapsus L.) on their oxidative stability and chemical composition. After the maceration process, oils' were subjected to their oxidative stability (80-120 °C) and their chemical composition, Moreover, oils kinetics parameters were calculated.

Diabetic wound healing remains a major challenge in modern medicine. The persistent inflammation and immune dysfunction hinder angiogenesis by producing excessive ROS and increasing the susceptibility to bacterial infection. In this study, we developed an integrated strategy for whole-process management of diabetic wounds based on a bioinspired adhesive hydrogel platform with hemostasis, photothermal antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and angiogenic properties.
