“…Similarly, the FME from Beltran showed a DRSA significantly higher (P < 0.05) than the found for the extracts coming from Conca and SJB. These results were similar to the reported in methanolic and ethanolic extracts of other Asteraceae genera as Tenacetum L. (Arituluk et al 2016) and Cirsium L. (Hossain et al 2016), as well as in Asphodelus microcarpus (Mayouf et al 2019) and Beta bulgaris (Edziri et al 2019) belonging to Liliaceae and Amaranthaceae, respectively. Respect to the trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC-DPPH) of the extracts, values from 368.75 to 545.62 µmol TE/g were obtained (Table 3).…”

“…The values of EC 50 that were obtained in LME and FME ranges between 741.89 and 1343.55 µg/mL for DPPH assay and between 609.76 and 3389.13 µg/mL for ABTS assay (Table 3). These EC 50 values were similar to those previously found by Pretti et al (2018) when evaluating the antioxidant activity of ethanolic extracts of leaves from T. diversifolia (Asteraceae), but does not coincide with the findings of Edziri et al (2019) and Mayouf et al (2019) in methanolic extracts of B. vulgaris (Amaranthaceae) and A. microcarpus (Liliaceae), respectively. As seen in Table 3, the extracts from the Beltran region had the lowest EC 50 values, noticing the same behaviour for both radicals (DPPH • and ABTS •+ ).…”

“…In the present study, similarities were found in the phenolic compounds content in the extracts (LME and FME) from H. longipes with other traditional medicinal plants found in the same botanical family (Asteraceae), as in species from other families such as Amaranthaceae, Liliaceae and Orchidaceae . The last demonstrated that the maceration (assisted by ultrasound) using methanol, is an efficient method in the phenolic compounds extraction, just like it has been documented in the scientific literature (Jovanović et al 2017, Rodríguez-Méndez et al 2018, Edziri et al 2019, Mayouf et al 2019.…”

Phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts from leaves and flowers of chilcuague ( Heliopsis longipes , Asteraceae)

Background: Heliopsis longipes root is the widely used organ from the plant due to its culinary and medicinal importance. Nevertheless, during its collection the foliage is discarded. Therefore, it is required to perform studies about the phytochemical content with biological activity present in the different plant organs of the foliage, for a better exploitation of the plant. Hypothesis: The concentration of phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity varies according to the type of plant organ and the geographic location of the plant collection. Study species: Heliopsis longipes Site and years of study: The H. longipes plants were collected in three locations (Conca, San Juan Buenaventura and Beltran) from Sierra Gorda of Mexico, between 2017 and 2018. Methods: In this study, they were analyzed the methanolic extracts from H. longipes leaves and flowers, in order to determine the content of the phenolic compounds and scavenging of radicals activity (DPPH• and ABTS•+). Further characterization of the extracts was carried out by chromatography (UPLC). Results: The total content of polyphenols, flavonoids and condensed tannins varied in depending on the type of plant organ and the origin site of H. longipes, being the leaves of Beltran those that represent the best source of phenolic compounds with scavenging activity of the radicals DPPH• and ABTS•+. In the extracts, phenolic acids and flavonoids were identified. Conclusions: The geographical climatic conditions influence the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the methanolic extracts from leaves and flowers of H. longipes.

“…Additionally, these compounds stimulated the intestinal excretion of cholesterol and cholesterol metabolites, which result in a hypocholesterolemic effect, improving blood pressure with a clear antihypertensive effect [26]. The anticoagulant properties of beetroot also were related to the high content of both phenolic acids and flavonoids in this vegetable [47]. Finally, blood glucose effect of beetroot could be linked to the flavonoid content.…”

“…has been demonstrated to exert anti-anemic, anti-ischemic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hepato-protective, antidiabetic, cholesterol-lowering, and anti-cancerogenic effects [41]. Moreover, beetroot also improves gastrointestinal health, optimizes lipid metabolism, has lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress inhibitory effects [21,26], and has antibacterial, antiviral, cardio-protective [49], and renal protective [47] effects. Moreover, beetroot consumption reduced the incidence of several tumors (skin, breast, lung, liver, colon, and esophagus) and contributed to protection from age-related diseases [10,26].…”

Red Beetroot. A Potential Source of Natural Additives for the Meat Industry

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Currently, the food industry is looking for alternatives to synthetic additives in processed food products, so research investigating new sources of compounds with high biological activity is worthwhile and becoming more common. There are many different types of vegetables that contain bioactive compounds, and additional features of some vegetables include uses as natural colorants and antioxidants. In this sense, and due to the special composition of beetroot, the use of this vegetable allows for the extraction of a large number of compounds with special interest to the meat industry. This includes colorants (betalains), antioxidants (betalains and phenolic compounds), and preservatives (nitrates), which can be applied for the reformulation of meat products, thus limiting the number and quantity of synthetic additives added to these foods and, at the same time, increase their shelf-life. Despite all these benefits, the application of beetroot or its products (extracts, juice, powder, etc.) in the meat industry is very limited, and the body of available research on beetroot as an ingredient is scarce. Therefore, in this review, the main biologically active compounds present in beetroot, the implications and benefits that their consumption has for human health, as well as studies investigating the use beetroot in the reformulation of meat and meat products are presented in a comprehensible manner.
