“…In both pears and peaches, peels were found to be more effective in restoring lipid profile when compared with the pulps of these fruits. This is in agreement with the findings of Gorinstein et al [52] and Bocco et al [53], that Peels of fruits is one of the major sources of natural antioxidants Some authors even proposed to use the by-products of juice extraction industry as natural source of dietary fiber and antioxidants [53]. Generally Fruits are considered to have antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic and antiatherogenic properties due to their positive effects on the redox balance, prevent oxidative damage, lipid peroxidation and improve antioxidant status in consumers.…”

The beneficial effects of feeding syrup of peaches and pears (peel and pulp) & green tea on the restoration of the changes produced by feeding high sucrose diet on plasma lipid profile, plasma antioxidant activity, and antioxidant enzymes in red blood cells (RBC) hemolysate were studied. High sucrose diet induced hyperlipidemia as manifested by significant (P ≤ 0.05) increases in the levels of cholesterol, triglycerides (TG) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) in plasma from 103.33 ± 1.8, 61.17 ± 0.48 and 26.6 ± 5.01 mg/dl to 136.67 ± 2.2, 81.3 ± 1.5 and 64.6 ± 6.5 mg/dl respectively. The high density lipoproteins (HDL) level was not significantly affected. TG levels in heart muscles increased significantly P ≤ 0.05 from the level of 194.14 ± 4.35 µg/g in the negative control to 269.72 ± 5.39 µg/g. Administration of fruits syrup and green tea resulted in a significant variable reduction in the elevated levels of cholesterol, TG and LDL and TG in the heart. Administration of sucrose resulted also in elevation of Malondialdehyde ( 894the levels of plasma cholesterol, TG and heart TG levels. The activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased following the treatment. It can be concluded that syrup of peaches and pears (peel and pulp) & green tea modulate lipid metabolism and enhance antioxidant status and in this respect green tea produced the best effect followed by peels of pears and peaches. The beneficial effect produced by fruits syrup and green tea may be due to their contents of phytochemicals.

“…Phenolic compounds have been reported to exhibit antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic, and cardioprotective effects. Together with ascorbic acid they protect body tissues against oxidative stress (Gorinstein et al 1998;Scalbert and Williamson 2000;Suzuki et al 2005). Ito (1971) reported that fructose and glucose were the main sugars in persimmon fruits, comprising more than 90% of the total sugars.…”

IntroductionPersimmon (Diospyros kaki L.), a tree belonging to the family Ebenaceae, was originally cultivated in China and Japan. In Turkey, persimmon fruits are widely cultivated in the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions, and Turkish persimmon production reached 15,000 t year -1 in 1997 (Ünal 2004). Persimmon fruits range in color from light yellow-orange to dark red-orange and can be classified in 2 main groups: astringent and nonastringent. Astringent persimmons might not be consumed before softening due to their high levels of soluble tannins, whereas nonastringent varieties can be eaten fresh (Ito 1971).

“…It has been shown that individuals who daily eat five servings or more of fruits and vegetables have approximately half the risk of developing many diseases including a wide variety of cancers, particularly those related to gastrointestinal tract [104]. In some studies, dietary fiber and polyphenols of fruits have been reported to improve lipid metabolism and prevent the oxidation of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which hinder the development of atherosclerosis [105][106][107].…”

Mutation is the process leading to heritable changes in the genetic material of an organism and caused mainly by the external factors, including chemical and physical agents, or can also occur spontaneously due to errors in DNA replication, repair, and recombination. Agents contributing to the mutagenic burden in the environment could be from industrial sources, wide spectrum applications of biocides in the agriculture, and other contaminants. As many of these mutagenic chemicals can induce severe disorders in humans including cancer and a large spectrum of inherited diseases, it is important to detect such mutagenic agents precisely and rapidly, and also look for an approach to combat them. Natural occurring dietary antimutagens primarily from health protective foods such as fruits and vegetables could provide a mechanism to counteract the deleterious effect of these mutagens. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that one-third of all cancer deaths are preventable and that diet is closely linked to cancer prevention. These health protective phytochemicals particularly antimutagenic ones could provide an effective solution to these concerns. The current review deals with understanding of the mutagenic events, methods of its analysis and a brief compilation of the existing scientific findings related to the dietary sources having potential to counteract the effects of the mutagenic exposures from different sources. The review would provide an opportunity to look into the science, think about the possible future perspectives and mechanism to translate the outcome of the scientific research for benefits of the mankind.
