Phoenix dactylifera L, commonly known as the date palm is a primeval plant and has been cultivated for its edible fruit in the desert oasis of the Arab world for centuries. The fruits are a rich source of carbohydrates, dietary fibers, certain essential vitamins and minerals. The date pits are also an excellent source of dietary fiber and contain considerable amounts of minerals, lipids and protein. In addition to its dietary use the dates are of medicinal use and are used to treat a variety of ailments in the various traditional systems of medicine. Phytochemical investigations have revealed that the fruits contain anthocyanins, phenolics, sterols, carotenoids, procyanidins and flavonoids, compounds known to possess multiple beneficial effects. Preclinical studies have shown that the date fruits possess free radical scavenging, antioxidant. antimutagenic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, anticancer and immunostimulant activities. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of the phytochemistry and validated pharmacological properties of date fruits and the seeds. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The application of ice glazing containing D-sodium erythorbate combined with vacuum packaging to maintain the physicochemical quality and sweet/umami non-volatile flavor compounds of frozen stored large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea)

Yuanming Chu, Zhaoyang Ding, Jing Xie

Summary: This study investigated the use of ice glazing containing D-sodium erythorbate (DSE) and vacuum packaging to maintain the quality of large yellow croaker during frozen storage. The results showed that vacuum packaging effectively inhibited ice crystal growth and minimized water loss, while the combination of vacuum packaging and 0.3% DSE-infused ice glazing maintained freshness indicators at low levels throughout the 300-day storage period. This combination was considered the most effective in preserving the quality of the fish.

Hypoglycemic effect and intestinal transport of phenolics-rich extract from digested mulberry leaves in Caco-2/insulin-resistant HepG2 co-culture model

Qiannan Zhao, Jinyi Yang, Jiahui Li, Lei Zhang, Xiaohai Yan, Tianli Yue, Yahong Yuan

Summary: This study investigated the transport and hypoglycemic effects of phenolics in mulberry leaves using an in vitro digestion model. The results showed that digested phenolics had higher absorbability and could inhibit glucose digestion and absorption. Phenolics also regulated glucose metabolism. Luteoforol and p-coumaric acid were found to be the primary phenolics strongly correlated with the hypoglycemic ability of mulberry leaves.
