“…Coumarins exhibit several pharmacological effects including anticoagulant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antidiabetic, anticonvulsant and antiproliferative [8]. Their importance is also clear in the food industry where their fungicide and antioxidant activities are investigated and exploited [9,10]. Moreover, some natural benzocoumarins show anti-algal activity [11].…”

Privileged structures have been widely used as an effective template for the research and discovery of high value chemicals. Coumarin is a simple scaffold widespread in Nature and it can be found in a considerable number of plants as well as in some fungi and bacteria. In the last years, these natural compounds have been gaining an increasing attention from the scientific community for their wide range of biological activities, mainly due to their ability to interact with diverse enzymes and receptors in living organisms. In addition, coumarin nucleus has proved to be easily synthetized and decorated, giving the possibility of designing new coumarin-based compounds and investigating their potential in the treatment of various diseases. The versatility of coumarin scaffold finds applications not only in medicinal chemistry but also in the agrochemical field as well as in the cosmetic and fragrances industry. This review is intended to be a critical overview on coumarins, comprehensive of natural sources, metabolites, biological evaluations and synthetic approaches.

Unravelling the Biological Potential of Pinus pinaster Bark Extracts

et al. 2020

Natural compounds from agro-food by-products have fostered interest in food industries. The aim of this study was to unravel potential uses for Pinus pinaster bark extracts (PBE). As functional features of this type of extracts are usually attributed to phenolic compounds, the extraction process was studied. Different PBEs were achieved, with high content in phenolic compounds, using different water/ethanol combinations as a solvent. These PBEs were chemically characterized, and their bioactivity and in vitro cell viability were evaluated. Extracts obtained with hydroethanolic solvents had higher content in phenolic and flavonoid compounds. All the PBEs presented high antioxidant, antibacterial and antihyperglycemic activities. Moreover, PBEs have low cytotoxicity and a selective activity against cancer cells as these were negatively affected. These features may allow the extracts to be used in food formulation and processing (as preservatives, antioxidants or bioactive ingredients), but they showed also potential for the pharmaceutical or nutraceutical sectors.

“…In recent years, the importance of functional products in nutrition has increased and scientific studies have intensified in this direction as consumers have focused on nutrition and health issues (Mark et al, 2019;Kebouchi et al, 2020). Cereals and cereal products are among the foods that are widely consumed both in Turkey and in the world.…”

In this study, the use of carob flour (CF) was investigated to improve the nutritional, antioxidative, and sensory properties of the noodles produced by the traditional method. In traditional noodle production, carob flour was used as a substitute to wheat flour at six different ratios (0%-control: Cmilk, Cwater, 10-40%, CF; w/w). In the noodle samples, L* and b* decreased whereas a* value increased as the CF substitution ratio increased. Regarding the CF substitution, which was found to be a natural antioxidant source rich in phenolic compounds added to the noodle formulation, the antioxidant capacity, total phenol content, and their bioaccessibility values increased. Bioaccessibility of total phenolic content (%) values (22.43-30.07%) of CF-added noodle samples were significantly higher than those of the control samples (p < 0.05). According to the bioaccessibility results of antioxidant capacities, FRAP (50.17%) showed the highest value in the 40% CF noodle sample. As a result, the use of 10% and 20% carob flour in the noodle formulation were determined as the optimum values in terms of sensory properties. In developing new food formulations with high functional properties, it has been recommended to use carob flour as a functional food ingredient.
