RESUMEN Proceso de encurtido de botones florales de alcaparras (Cappa ris spp.)Se encurtieron durante dos meses botones florales de tamaño medio (8 < x < 13 mm) de Capparis spinosa var. spinosa y O. ovata var. canescens, los recolectados en Junio en salmueras conteniendo 5, 10, 15 y 20% de sal, y los de Agosto en salmueras de 15% de sal; y tres tamaños diferentes (x < 8 mm, 8 < x < 13 mm, X > 13 mm) de C. ovata var. canescens de Junio en salmueras de 15% de sal. Se realizaron algunos análisis químicos y microbioló-gicos durante la fermentación. Las concentraciones de sal más adecuadas para la actividad de las bacterias del ácido láctico (LAB) fueron 5% y parcialmente 10%. Acidez, actividad de LAB, sedimentación y firmeza (hardness) se redujeron al incrementar el tamaño de las alcaparras de C. ovata. Los tamaños pequeños de C. ovata presentaron en el producto encurtido ventajas en color y sabor, pero desventajas por más sedimento y ablandamiento parcial. El tiempo de encurtido para ambas especies se determinó en 40 a 50 días con respecto a sabor y olor del producto final, acidez y pH de las salmueras y actividad de LAB. PALABRAS-CLAVE: Alcaparra -Botón floral -Encurtido. SUMMARY Pickling process of capers {Capparis spp.) flower budsMiddle sized (8 < x < 13 mm) buds of Capparis spinosa var. spinosa and C ovata var. canescens from June in brines containing 5,10,15 and 20% salt and from August in brines of 15% salt, and three different size (x < 8 mm, 8 < x < 13 mm, x > 13 mm) buds of C. ovata var. canescens from June in brines of 15% salt were pickled for two months fermentation. Some chemical and microbiological analyses were done in brines during fermentation. Most suitable salt concentration for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) activity were 5% and partly 10%. Acidity, LAB activity, sedimentation and hardness were reduced by increasing bud size in C. ovata. Small buds of C. ovata for pickling product had advantage for colour and flavour, however, more sediment and partly softening showed disadvantage. For both species, pickling time was determined as 40 to 50 days in regard of end-product flavour and odour, brine acidity and pH, and LAB activity.

“…Fermented products are greatly appreciated for their flavour, appetite and digestive properties (1,2). Pungent flavour is due to several sulphur containing compounds made by the fermentation of glucosids (3). If finished product is used in conjunction with other foods, it supports flavour or is used as garniture (4,5).…”

“…Previously, the analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antihepatotoxicity, hypolipidemic, and anti-allergic effects of this plant have been reported (5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Research on C. spinosa reveals the presence of such compounds as alkaloid, lipids, polyphenols, flavonoids, and glucosinolates (10). It also has certain flavonoids, such as kaempferol, rutin, and quercetin (11)(12)(13), and thus this plant used as a remedial source.…”

Background: Cyclophosphamide (CP) is one of the most popular alkylating anticancer drugs despite its toxic side effects, including nephrotoxicity, hematotoxicity, mutagenicity, and immunotoxicity. Capparis spinosa is a multipurpose plant that contains a number of chemically active and diverse secondary metabolites, particularly flavonoids. Rutin and quercetin are two major flavonoids in the caper plant. Objectives: This study was undertaken to investigate the protective effect of Capparis spinosa L. extract on nephrotoxicity induced by cyclophosphamide in mice. Methods: In this experimental study, 40 male Swiss albino mice (20 -25 g) were randomly divided into five groups with each group consisting of eight mice. Mice were pretreated with C. spinosa extract (CSE) orally in doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg for five consecutive days, and CP (200 mg/kg, ip) was administrated on the fifth day 1 hour after the last dose of extract. The animals were sacrificed on the sixth day. Blood samples were collected to determine the serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. The malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels were assayed in kidney tissue. The right kidney was maintained in 10% formalin for hematoxylin and eosin staining and histological examination. Results: Different plant parts (fruit, leaves, and petals) were examined for antioxidant activity by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assay, and leaf extract was used to determine nephroprotective effects. Results showed a significant increase in the levels of MDA, Cr, and BUN and a reduction of GSH by CP administration. Pre-treatment with CSE decreased the levels of MDA, Cr, and BUN. GSH increased in all doses, but the most significant alteration was observed in the doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg (P < 0.05). The nephroprotective effect of the CSE was confirmed by the histological examination of the kidneys. Conclusions: Our results indicate that CSE ameliorates biochemical indices and oxidative stress parameters against CP-induced nephrotoxicity.

Background: Activation of polyol pathway, due to increased aldose reductase (ALR2) activity, is one of the several mechanisms that have been involved in the development of secondary complications of diabetes. Therefore, ALR2 inhibition has been recognized as a potential therapeutic goal in the prevention and treatment of various secondary complications of diabetes, such as cataract. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of hydro alcoholic Capparis spinosa extract (CSE) on ALR2 and sorbitol accumulation in red blood cells (RBCs). Materials and Methods:The hydroalcoholic extract of Capparis spinosa (C. spinosa) was prepared and its inhibitory effects were evaluated by using the partial purified bovine lens ALR2 and its specificity was checked by comparing with its inhibitory effect on aldehyde reductase (ALR1), the other member of aldo-keto reductases family. Because RBC sorbitol accumulation is strongly correlated with the blood glucose level, the effect of CSE on sorbitol accumulation in human RBCs, preincubated with high serum glucose concentration, was determined. Results: The CSE inhibited ALR2 activity, with an IC 50 of 0.54 mg/mL and it was seven and a half times greater than that of ALR1 inhibition, indicating the specificity of CSE for ALR2, rather than ALR1. Also, CSE, at a concentration of 0.54 mg/mL, could reduce sorbitol accumulation in erythrocytes, by 46.8%. Conclusions: These results demonstrated that CSE, mainly through inhibition of ALR2, could prevent or delay the diabetic complications, like cataract formation, as a result of sorbitol accumulation.
