Summary: Carotenoids are naturally occurring antioxidants found in many organisms, with different cherry tomato varieties having varying carotenoid profiles and quantities. Wild red tomatoes have higher lycopene content than commercial tomatoes, while yellow tomatoes lack lycopene. Varieties with higher concentrations of carotenoids may have antioxidant activity. This study utilized HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS to analyze wild cherry tomato accessions, showing promising functional traits for potential commercial applications and local social projects.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the parameters affecting the extraction of coffee components in different brewing methods. The main brewing parameters that influenced the final content of these compounds were the volume of water used, brewing ratio, extraction time, and coffee powder particle size. Among the variables studied, total chlorogenic acid content, TFC, TPC, caffeine, and the DPPH assay had the greatest impact on discriminating the different preparation methods.

Summary: This study introduces a method to analyze intact glycosidic aroma precursors in grapes using HPLC-DAD, a simple and inexpensive analytical technique. A total of 20 compounds were selected and identified using HPLC-qTOF-MS. The most abundant group observed were disaccharides hexose pentose and the main aglycones found were monoterpendiols.

Summary: The polar extracts and essential oils of sea fennel cultivated in central Italy were analyzed. The extracts contained 21 bioactive compounds, with 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid being the most abundant. Melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep/wake cycle, was identified for the first time in sea fennel extract. The essential oil was mainly composed of monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes. This study highlights the potential use of sea fennel as an edible plant and a source of nutraceutical compounds.

Summary: Brassica incana subsp. raimondoi is an endemic taxon found in eastern Sicily, growing on steep limestone cliffs. This research investigated the phytochemical profile, antioxidant properties, cytotoxicity, and Artemia salina toxicity of its leaf extract. The extract contained various phenolic acids, flavonoids, and carotenoids, and showed different antioxidant properties. It was non-toxic to normal cells, but exhibited cytotoxic effects on colon cancer and hepatoma cells. It also protected against oxidative stress caused by hydrogen peroxide. These findings suggest that B. incana subsp. raimondoi could be a potential source of bioactive molecules.

Summary: In this study, the stability of a trans-Zearalenone calibrant in acetonitrile was investigated, showing significant isomerization under UV light but relatively stability under sunlight. The calibrant was found to be more stable in acetonitrile than in methanol. This stability study provides a basis for the usage, storage, and transportation of the CRM.

Summary: In recent years, research on quinoa has increased due to its rich nutrients and potentially beneficial bioactive phenolic compounds. However, the variation in the content and type of these compounds in quinoa genetic resources has not been fully explored. Our study evaluated the composition of phenolic compounds in 111 Chilean quinoa accessions, revealing significant variations in terms of individual compounds, which can have important implications for quinoa's nutritional and functional properties. These findings suggest that the phenotypic variation in bioactive phenolic content in quinoa germplasm could be utilized in genetic improvement programs.

Summary: In vitro culture is a reliable method for mass production of plant material and has great potential for the manufacture of natural bioactive chemicals. This study developed an efficient micropropagation system and investigated the accumulation of bioactive compounds in Vaccinium corymbosum L., Duke and Hortblue Petite cultivars. The results showed that Hortblue Petite produced more biomass than Duke, and Duke had the highest content of total phenolic compounds in the liquid culture system.

Summary: Anthocyanins were characterized in red cabbage, sweet potato, and Tradescantia pallida leaves. Various non-, mono-, and diacylated cyanidins were identified in red cabbage. Sweet potato leaves contained mono- and diacylated cyanidin- and peonidin glycosides, while T. pallida leaves mainly contained tetra-acylated anthocyanin tradescantin. The thermal stability of red cabbage and purple sweet potato extracts surpassed that of a commercial food dye, but still fell short compared to the stability of Tradescantia extract.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of different ethanol sources (cachaça and cereal alcohol) on the chemical characteristics of jabuticaba liquors. The liquors showed similar chemical compositions, but differed in anthocyanin content and volatile composition. Liquors made from cachaça had a more complex aroma and higher degree of anthocyanin polymerization.
