Sprayâdried formulations rich in malvidin from tintorera grape wastes: Characterization, stability, and storage
IndexaciĂłn ScopusThis research was focused on developing means of Tintorera grape (Vitis vinifera L.) waste recovery, devising new valueâadded uses for that material and optimizing of anthocyaninârich formulations by sprayâdrying in order to obtain novel ingredients, all for food industry use. First, the identification of phenolic compounds in Tintorera grape extracts by HPLCâDADâESIâMSn enabled characterization of the raw materialâs healthâpromoting characteristics. Maintaining the sprayâdried products for 4 weeksâ storage enabled study of the formulationâs loss of anthocyanins and antioxi-dant properties due to drying process temperatures as well as analysis of the retention and stability of such compounds under different conditions (20 and 40 °C). Tintorera grapes presented a significant amount of Malvidin 3âOâhex (5.66 mg gâ1 DW). Anthocyanins in sprayâdried formulations were stable for 4 weeks. Optimal conditions in the sprayâdryer facilitated the productsâ antioxidant ca-pacity; for instance, using 10% maltodextrin (w:v) at 90 °C inlet temperature had a little influence on the reduction in encapsulated malvidin 3âOâhex (15%) and presented 3.35 mg GAE gâ1 DW of total polyphenol contents, 98.62 ÎŒmol Trolox (FRAP assay), and 39.97 ÎŒmol Trolox (DPPH assay). Principal component analyses (PCA) showed a high degree of dependence between anthocyanin content and maintenance of antioxidant capacity during storage. These results offer a promising alternative for the industrial management of wineâmaking wastes in order to implement a sustainable protocol for development of Tintorera grape extracts rich in bioactive compounds for new bev-erages and functional foods. © 2021 by the author.

Resveratrol biotechnological applications: enlightening its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties
Introduction Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a polyphenol obtained from diverse groups of plants, especially in the muscadine grape, red wine, lingonberry, cranberry and redcurrant. Resveratrol's health benefits were first highlighted in the study of the French paradox, which opened up an expansive research endeavor into this compound. Ever since, an array of pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, antiaging, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and antidiabetic have been attributed to resveratrol. For many polyphenols, low solubility in biological fluids, as well as by rapid in vivo metabolization, limits their bioavailability. However, improving resveratrol formulation could enhance oral bioavailability and have other beneficial properties. The development of innovative methodological approaches, such as the utilization of innovative formulations has been developed to overcome these limitations and provide a considerable therapeutic amount of resveratrol. Results In this narrative review, a brief outline of historical perspectives of resveratrol is provided, together with an extensive and inclusive overview of various approaches and contemporary developments on the bioavailability, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of this nutraceutical, along with its biotechnological applications and drug formulations.(undefined)info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
