Rich in antioxidants with a variety of flavones and anthocyanins, passionflower/fruit has been extensively used in food, beverage, medicinal, and natural dyes industries. The individual components present in passionflower are identified by extracting them in methanol, partitioning them between ethyl acetate and aqueous layers, and recording their ESI mass spectrometric data. The steady-state absorption and fluorescence spectra of the extract in methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide are recorded and the lifetime of the fluorescing species is reported. The pH dependence of the absorption spectrum confirms the presence of the anthocyanins.

The application of plant growth regulators is an effective method to enhance flavonoid content in certain fruits; however, there is limited research comparing the effects of different plant growth regulators. This study evaluated the impact of pre-harvest application with melatonin, 24-epibrassinolide, and methyl jasmonate on flavonoid content in blueberry fruit. All three plant growth regulators increased the total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, antioxidant capacities, and the activities of key enzymes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, including flavone synthase, flavanone 3-hydroxylase, flavonol synthase, anthocyanidin synthase, and leucoanthocyanidin reductase.

Article Synopsis
- Dietary flavonoids, found in green plants, have properties that may reduce inflammation and support the immune system, potentially benefiting asthma management.
- This study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey involving nearly 8,000 children to investigate the connection between dietary flavonoid intake and asthma prevalence.
- Results showed that higher intakes of anthocyanins and flavonols were associated with lower asthma rates among children, particularly in certain demographic groups.

is an important medicinal plant, rich in flavonoid, with various pharmacological activities such as stomachic and antioxidant properties. In this study, we integrated metabolome and transcriptome analyses to reveal metabolite and gene expression profiles of both green (GDd) and purple-red (RDd) of semi-annual and annual stems. A total of 244 flavonoid metabolites, mainly flavones and flavonols, were identified and annotated.

Background: Dietary adjustment has consistently been regarded as an effective and health way for both the prevention and treatment of constipation. Several researches suggest a significant correlation between dietary flavonoids intake and gut microbiota, while the relationship between dietary flavonoids and constipation has not been reported. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between flavonoids intake and constipation.
