Summary: This paragraph investigates the effects of oxidation on flavonoids, and finds that oxidation can increase the content of catechin and grape seed tannin, as well as enhance antimicrobial activity. However, it does not have a significant impact on the total phenol content of wine lees. Moreover, new compounds may be formed during the oxidation treatment, which exhibit stronger microbicidal activity.

Summary: The phenolic composition of wine is influenced by grapevine cultivar and clone genotype, as demonstrated in this study of Tempranillo negro. This new intense dark black berry color variant accumulates higher concentrations of anthocyanins, leading to unique characteristics in both the grape berry and wine. The application of phenol chromatographic analyses to grapevine clonal selection is exemplified through the comparison of RJ43 and VN21 clones.

Summary: Grape pomace from the indigenous red grape variety Prokupac is rich in phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant properties, making it a valuable resource for the food and pharmaceutical industry. The presence of flavan-3-ols, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins contribute to the high antioxidant activity observed in the grape pomace.

Summary: The study characterized the polyphenolic composition of grape skins from Merlot, Tannat, and Syrah varieties using UPLC-QqQ-MS. Changes in polyphenol content during ripening were observed, with an increase in anthocyanins and stilbenes, and a decrease in flavan-3-ols and procyanidins. The skin extracts showed strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, with significant inhibition of NO and ROS production in stimulated macrophages.

Summary: Apple peels are rich in phytochemicals with diverse compositions, with red-skinned varieties having higher total phenolic content and yellow-skinned apples having slightly higher total carotenoid content. The anthocyanin profile is mainly dominated by cyanidin-3-O-galactoside, and the antioxidant potential is highest in Florina, correlating with total polyphenolic content.

Summary: This research evaluated the autoallelopathic effect of aqueous extracts from different parts of Canadian goldenrod and giant goldenrod on the growth and biomass accumulation of these plants. The results showed that the extracts had inhibitory effects on the plants' growth and biomass, with extracts from rhizomes being the most effective.

Summary: The global consumption of avocados is increasing, leading to a large amount of agro wastes. Various management approaches are available for the recovery of bioactive compounds from these wastes. Lactic acid fermentation was used in this study to enhance the nutritional potential and value of avocado leaves. The fermentation process led to an increase in the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the leaves. Different lactic acid bacteria strains showed varying levels of antioxidant activity and induced changes in the phenolic compound profile of the leaves. Overall, the results suggest that lactic acid bacteria can improve the bioavailability of phenolic compounds through enzymatic activity.

Summary: Tree peony is an ornamental and medicinal plant from China with potential blood pressure regulating substances. Dark-colored samples of tree peony petals showed stronger inhibitory activity on renin and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) compared to light-colored samples. The study also evaluated the antioxidant activities of the aqueous extracts and their correlation with phenolic and flavonoid contents, finding a positive correlation with inhibitory activities and total phenolic content.

Summary: The study found that choline chloride-based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) can more effectively extract bioactive compounds from peppermint leaves and have the potential to be used for the separation of targeted major compounds. Additionally, NADES exhibit microbial growth inhibition at lower concentrations and show antioxidant and reducing activities.

Summary: This article explains the mechanism and practical considerations of the Folin-Ciocalteu assay for quantifying total (poly)-phenols in food. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the structural characteristics of (poly)-phenolic compounds for accurately estimating their antioxidant capacity. Additionally, the article summarizes the findings of using the Folin-Ciocalteu method to estimate total phenolic intake in individuals adhering to a Mediterranean diet, known for its high consumption of (poly)-phenol-rich foods.

Summary: The study aimed to identify a Rhizopus species to enhance the flavor and antioxidant activity of sweet rice wine. The analysis of phenolic compounds, peptides, and antioxidant activity showed that rice wine fermented with R. delemar had better aroma and antioxidant capacity compared to R. oryzae. This research demonstrates the potential of using R. delemar in industrial products to improve the quality of sweet rice wine.

Summary: This study identified the major phenolic compounds in tagarnina, including 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA) and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3,5-diCQA). An ultrasound-assisted extraction method was developed to extract these compounds, with methanol percentage, sample-to-solvent ratio, and pH being the most influential factors. The concentration of 5-CQA and 3,5-diCQA in Scolymus hispanicus collected from six different locations in southern Spain was determined, and the antioxidant activity of the samples was correlated with their caffeoylquinic compound content, showing an antioxidant effect.

Summary: The risk of recurrence of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer remains constant, even 20 years after diagnosis. Maternal obesity can alter offspring's gut microbiota and increase the risk of mammary cancer recurrence. Genistein supplementation can prevent local recurrence in offspring of obese dams by reversing changes in gut microbiota and metabolites.
