“…In this context, ready-to-eat snacks were established within the NUTRA-SNACK project funded by the European Commission in FP6. They were enriched with antioxidant/radical-scavenging compounds which are able to counteract the oxidative stress that daily threatens our health (Rea et al 2011).…”

The effects of two elicitors: jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate on cell growth as well as on rosmarinic acid accumulation in cell suspension cultures of Mentha 9 piperita were investigated. The highest rosmarinic acid accumulation 117.95 mg g -1 DW (12% DW) was measured 24 h after addition of 100 lM methyl jasmonate. A similar concentration 110.12 mg g -1 DW was detected 48 h after application of 200 lM jasmonic acid. Those values were nearly 1.5 times higher compared to the control sample, without elicitation. There was no substantial influence of elicitors on rosmarinic acid secretion into the culture media. Extracellular concentrations of rosmarinic acid were similar to the values from the control variants. It was documented that suspension cultures of M. piperita treated with elicitors showed a decrease in biomass accumulation when compared to the control.

“…The high quantity of omega-3 in fish is due to their consumption of photosynthetic algae that synthesize and accumulate high levels of unsaturated fatty acids [87,88]. In addition, plants produce a remarkable variety of low-molecular-weight organic compounds, termed secondary metabolites, usually with unique and complex structures.…”

Humans are constantly exposed to ionizing radiation deriving from outer space sources or activities related to medical care. Absorption of ionizing radiation doses over a prolonged period of time can result in oxidative damage and cellular dysfunction inducing several diseases, especially in ageing subjects. In this report, we analyze the effects of ionizing radiation, particularly at low doses, in relation to a variety of human pathologies, including cancer, and cardiovascular and retinal diseases. We discuss scientific data in support of protection strategies by safe antioxidant formulations that can provide preventive or potential therapeutic value in response to long-term diseases that may develop following exposure.

“…Studies have shown that eating a diet rich in antioxidant-containing foods, such as plants, fruits, vegetables and whole grains, has been linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases [4]. In addition to natural products, new antioxidant compounds as food additives and nutraceuticals have recently received remarkable attention [5].…”

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are very unstable molecules generated during the metabolism. They can be produced in excess, contributing to cellular dysfunctions. Antioxidants are substances that play an important role as a health-protecting factor, limiting the lesions caused by ROS. Two kinds of electrochemical biosensors based on ROS have been described to evaluate the antioxidant capacity in the food industry. The first one involves hydroxyl radicals and studies their effect on DNA alterations. The second one consists of the superoxide radicals scavenging ability, radicals being essentially generated by the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system. These sensors are commonly based on either cytochrome c or superoxide dismutase, even though recent strategies are emerging. Whatever the involved ROS, all the described biosensors possess similar advantages such as simplicity, rapidity and low cost and are successfully applied for the assessment of antioxidant properties in various foods, additives or beverages.
