“…[33][34][35] Supplementing Drosophila populations with specific apple polyphenols may be useful to identify the mechanism by which the apple food increases longevity, however, we would contend that the whole-diet system, rather than a single compound, is responsible for the healthspan-promoting effects through synergistic interactions. 36 If these findings are broadly applicable, they are relevant to ongoing discussions of optimal diet choices for presentday human populations. Our findings suggest that the ideal diet for younger individuals may not be the same as the ideal diet for older individuals.…”

Healthspan science aims to add healthy, functional years to human life. Many different methods of improving healthspan have been investigated, chiefly focusing on just one aspect of an organism's health such as survival.Studies in Drosophila melanogaster have demonstrated that a reversal to a long-abandoned ancestral diet results in improved functional health, particularly at later ages. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical studies have demonstrated that botanical extracts have potent antiaging properties, capable of extending the mean lifespan of D. melanogaster by up to 25%, without a decrease in early fecundity. In this study, we combine these two different approaches to healthspan extension to examine whether a combination of such treatments results in a synergistic or antagonistic effect on Drosophila healthspan. One botanical extract, derived from Rhodiola rosea, mimicked the effects of the ancestral apple diet with better performance at later ages compared with the control. Another extract, derived from Rosa damascena, decreased age-specific survivorship when combined with the apple diet providing support for the ''Poisoned Chalice'' hypothesis that combinations of various supplements or diets can elicit adverse physiological responses. More experiments in model organisms should be completed researching the effects of combining healthspan-extending substances in various diet backgrounds.

“…FPD demonstrated slightly stronger α-amylase inhibitory activity compared to PD, and decreased slowly (but significantly, p < 0.05) during storage. Variations of α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition were likely dependent on the formation or degradation of simple phenolics with inhibitory activity (Agustinah et al, 2020), and were characterised by their chemical structures and interactions with flavonoids (Fujita et al, 2017). Phenolic compounds with antihyperglycaemic properties such as flavonols and flavones were reported to be in abundance in pumpkins (Agustinah et al, 2020).…”

Phenolic compounds with antihyperglycaemic properties such as flavonols and flavones were reported to be in abundance in pumpkins (Agustinah et al, 2020). Besides that, the increase in the amount of aglycones liberated by βglucosidase activity, and the presence of caffeic and chlorogenic acids may also contribute to the inhibition of key enzymes linked to T2DM (Fujita et al, 2017).…”

Pumpkin has been reported to be a good probiotic delivery vehicle, but it has a short shelf life, is susceptible to enzymatic browning, and prone to microbial spoilage. Pumpkin could be transformed into a value-added beverage through the fermentation by LAB. In the present work, the probiotic viability, physicochemical, antioxidative, antihyperglycemic, and sensory properties of Lactobacillus mali-fermented pumpkin drink (FPD) during eight weeks of refrigerated storage at 4°C were investigated. There were significant reductions (p < 0.05) in colour, pH, texture characteristics, and antioxidant properties after four weeks of storage. FPD exhibited total phenolic content ranging from 83.75 to 90.75 mg GAE/mL, total flavonoid content ranging from 47.01 to 50.01 mg QE/mL, FRAP reducing power ranging from 160.76 to 169.76 µmol Trolox equivalent/mL, and DPPH scavenging activity ranging from 52 to 54.56% during storage. FPD's total soluble solids decreased (p < 0.05) from 0.60 to 0.02 °Brix, while concentrations of ethanol (0.62 to 1.2%, v/v), lactic acid (0.03 to 0.11 g/L), and acetic acid (0.02 to 0.18 g/L) significantly increased (p < 0.05) over eight weeks of storage. L. mali strain within FPD maintained its viability (p > 0.05) under simulated gastrointestinal conditions, with 8 - 9.1 log CFU/mL for 28 days at 4°C. FPD retained up to 90% α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition throughout the 28 days storage period. Sensory evaluation showed that FPD's attributes remained unchanged (p > 0.05) during the initial four weeks of storage, with an overall acceptability score ranging from 6.56 to 6.88. In conclusion, FPD remained stable in terms of physicochemical, antioxidative, and sensory properties, as well as probiotic viability and anti-hyperglycaemic effects during 28 days of refrigerated storage. This highlights FPD’s potential as a functional beverage, presenting an innovative method to utilise pumpkin as an effective probiotic carrier.
