Challenges on the processing of plant-based neuronutraceuticals and functional foods with emerging technologies: extraction, encapsulation and therapeutic applications
Publication date: Available online 24 July 2019Source: Trends in Food Science & TechnologyAuthor(s): Ádina L. Santana, Gabriela A. MacedoAbstractBackgroundNatural neuronutraceuticals and functional foods are provided by antioxidant molecules that inhibits excessive reactive oxygen species in neurons and simultaneous occurrence of brain-related injuries like depression, dementia, and ischemic stroke. The need for efficient, cheap and sustainable techniques to increase the shelf life and bioaccessibility of natural antioxidants for therapeutic application as replacers to synthetic antioxidants is growing.Scope and approachH...

Post-stroke depression: Antidepressive effects of a chemically characterized maqui berry extract in a mouse model (Aristotelia chilensis (molina) stuntz).
This study aimed to evaluate the antidepressive-like effects and in vivo antioxidant activity of a chemically characterized maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis (Molina) Stuntz) extract obtained from an optimized extraction method, on a murine PSD model. The extraction process was optimized to maximize anthocyanin content, and the phytochemical profile of the extract was evaluated using a multi-methodological approach including a liquid chromatographic method coupled with mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The antidepressive-like activity was investigated through despair swimming and tail suspensi...

Councils still insisting on 15 minute homecare visits
UNISON has revealed today that 74% of local authorities in England are still limiting homecare visits for their elderly, ill and disabled residents to just 15 minutes. The report – Suffering Alone at Home – is based on an online survey of 1,100 homecare workers and data obtained from a Freedom of Information request (FoI) to the 152 local authorities in England that commission social care visits. Councils using 15 minute visits by English region Eastern 100% East Midlands 89% West Midlands 86% North East 83% North West 82% South East 79% Yorkshire and Humberside 73% South West 69% Greater London 45...
