Clove essential oil loaded chitosan nanocapsules on quality and shelf-life of blueberries
In this study, the formation of clove essential oil loaded chitosan nanocapsules (CEO/CS-NCs) was achieved by the ionotropic gelation technology. The spherical shape and core-shell structure of CEO/CS-NCs were characterized by SEM, TEM, and FT-IR. CEO/CS-NCs have a reasonable encapsulation efficiency rate of 39 % and an average size of 253.63 nm. The simulated release of CEO/CS-NCs in a citric acid buffer solution shows that the nano-encapsulation technology could control the sustained release of clove essential oil (CEO). The shelf life of untreated blueberries at room temperature is only about 3 days, while CEO/CS-NCs co...

Recently, consumer preferences for bilberries have increased markedly. This fact is probably related to their natural constituents, such as phenolic compounds including anthocyanins and tannins, as well as the vitamins and minerals they contain. Phenolic compounds are known for their numerous beneficial effects on human health. Moreover, bilberry fruits have been...

Polyphenolic extracts from natural sources have received great interest due to their beneficial properties for human health. A method to reduce their variability is to use the design of experiments which allows a limited number of experiments to be performed while exploring the experimental space. Fir...

Front Cover: Scientific Evidence for the Beneficial Effects of Dietary Blueberries on Gut Health: A Systematic Review
Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2023,67,202300096DOI:10.1002/mnfr.202300096Dietary blueberries enhance gut health by improving intestinal morphology, reducing gut permeability, suppressing oxidative stress, ameliorating gut inflammation, and modulating the composition and function of gut microbes. However, there are significant knowledge gaps in this field, and further studies are needed to establish the beneficial effects of blueberries on gut health. This is reported by Pon Velayutham Anandh Babu and co-workers in article number2300096. (Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research)

In vivo antioxidant activity of rabbiteye blueberry ( < em > Vaccinium ashei < /em > cv. 'Brightwell') anthocyanin extracts
J Zhejiang Univ Sci B. 2023 May 25;24(7):602-616. doi: 10.1631/jzus.B2200590.ABSTRACTBlueberries are rich in phenolic compounds including anthocyanins which are closely related to biological health functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of blueberry anthocyanins extracted from 'Brightwell' rabbiteye blueberries in mice. After one week of adaptation, C57BL/6J healthy male mice were divided into different groups that were administered with 100, 400, or 800 mg/kg blueberry anthocyanin extract (BAE), and sacrificed at different time points (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, or 12 h).
