Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 206: Antioxidant-Enriched Diet on Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Gene Expression: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Laura Di Renzo
The Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) is associated with beneficial effects against chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs). In particular, the content of micronutrients leads to an improvement of the oxidative and inflammatory profiles. A randomized, parallel, controlled study, on 24 subjects, was conducted to evaluate if 2-week supplementation with a mixed apple and bergamot juice (MAB juice), had a positive impact on the body composition, the biochemical profile, and oxidative and inflammatory gene expression (Superoxide dismutase (SOD1), Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ (PPA...

Starch and whey protein isolate films including an aroma compound stabilized by nanocellulose
This study aimed to prepare whey protein isolate (WPI) and starch (S) films, including nanocellulose based BO nanoemulsions, potentially enhancing BO functionality. BO nanoemulsion was obtained by using a nanocellulose dispersion (2 mg/mL) including 3 mM CaCl2 with a ratio of 2/8 (v/v, BO/nanocellulose dispersion) and then suitably dispersed (2%, w/w) in the WPI and S film-forming solutions to obtain film samples. The water vapor permeability (WVP), mechanical and optical properties and BO's release from those obtained films were studied. The WVP (p<0.05) and tensile strength (p>0.05) of films were improved, whereas ...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 7044: The Chemical Composition and Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Five Citrus Essential Oils
Yanling Li
Increasing concerns over the use of antimicrobial growth promoters in animal production has prompted the need to explore the use of natural alternatives such as phytogenic compounds and probiotics. Citrus EOs have the potential to be used as an alternative to antibiotics in animals. The purpose of this research was to study the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of five citrus EOs, grapefruit essential oil (GEO), sweet orange EO (SEO), bergamot EO (BEO), lemon EO (LEO) and their active component d-limonene EO (DLEO). The chemical composition of EOs was analyzed by gas chromatography&ndash;ma...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 6277: Authentication of Citrus spp. Cold-Pressed Essential Oils by Their Oxygenated Heterocyclic Components
This study, to our knowledge, represents the most comprehensive investigation of coumarin and furanocoumarin profiles across commercial-scale Citrus oils to date. Results show that the lowest amount was detected in calamansi oil. Expressed oil of Italian bergamot showed the highest furanocoumarin content and the highest level of any individual furanocoumarin (bergamottin). Notable differences were observed in the coumarin and furanocoumarin levels among oils of different crop varieties and origins within the same species. Potential correlations were observed between bergapten and xanthotoxin which matches with known biosyn...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 4987: Analgesic Characteristics of NanoBEO Released by an Airless Dispenser for the Control of Agitation in Severe Dementia
a Tiziana Corasaniti
Chronic pain is one of the most common causes of the need for clinical evaluation, acquiring more importance in the elderly with cognitive impairment. Reduced self-reporting capabilities cause unrelieved pain contributing to the development of agitation. Safe and effective pain treatment can afford the management of agitation without the serious increase in death risk associated with neuroleptics. To this aim, the essential oil of bergamot (BEO), proven by rigorous evidence to have strong preclinical anti-nociceptive and anti-allodynic properties, has been engineered (NanoBEO, patent EP 4003294) to...
