Publication date: Available online 31 May 2018Source: Saudi Journal of Biological SciencesAuthor(s): David E. Rivera, Yanet C. Ocampo, Jenny P. Castro, Lía Barrios, Fredyc Diaz, Luis A. FrancoAbstractThe use of natural products by communities from the Colombian Caribbean region to treat health issues, together with biodiversity and geographical features, constitute a great scenery to develop new therapies based on ethnopharmacological heritage. Here, we investigated the anti-inflammatory potential of 10 commonly used plants in Colombian folk medicine, evaluating their effect on nitric oxide (NO) production by LPS-stimulat...

Effects of high hydrostatic pressure processing and supercritical fluid extraction on bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity of Cape gooseberry pulp (Physalis peruviana L.)
Publication date: August 2018 Source:The Journal of Supercritical Fluids, Volume 138 Author(s): Maria José Torres-Ossandón, Antonio Vega-Gálvez, Jéssica López, Karina Stucken, Julio Romero, Karina Di Scala The aim of this study was to combine high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and SFE-CO2 to extract bioactive compounds with antioxidant capacity (phenolics and β-carotene) from Cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) pulp. Extracts were evaluated immediately after processing by HHP at 300–400–500 MPa/1-3–5 min, respectively, and after 60 days of storage at 4 °C. Treatments at 300 MPa/1 min and 4...

NMR-based metabolic study of fruits of Physalis peruviana L. grown in eight different Peruvian ecosystems
In this study, Cape gooseberries from eight different regions within the Peruvian Andes were profiled for their metabolism implementing a NMR platform. Twenty-four compounds could be unequivocally identified and sixteen quantified. One-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey test revealed that all of the quantified metabolites changed significantly among regions: Bambamarca I showed the most accumulated significant differences. The coefficient of variation demonstrated high phenotypic plasticity for amino acids, while sugars displayed low phenotypic plasticity. Correlation analysis highlighted the closely coordinated behavior of the ...
