Covalent bonding between polyphenols and proteins: Synthesis of caffeic acid-cysteine and chlorogenic acid-cysteine adducts and their quantification in dairy beverages

Mahesha M. Poojary et al.

Summary: Protein-polyphenol interactions have significant effects on the structure and function of food. This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of caffeic acid-cysteine (CA-Cys) and chlorogenic acid-cysteine (CGA-Cys) adducts, and develops a quantitative method to detect these adducts in food and beverages. Results show the covalent bonding between milk proteins and CA/CGA, as well as the presence of these adducts in coffee-containing beverages.

Exploring the potential mechanism of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Ait.) Hassk fruit phenolic rich extract on ameliorating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics profiling

Ruimin Wang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that Rhodomyrtus tomentosa fruit phenolic rich extract (RTE) has a liver-protective effect on mice with high-fat-diet-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alleviating liver damage by reducing inflammatory cell infiltration, oxidative stress indexes, lipid profile levels, and inflammatory cytokines levels. Metabolomics analysis showed that RTE affected various metabolic pathways associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Transcriptomics analysis identified five differential expression genes involved in pathways related to cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, NF-kappa B signaling, and TNF signaling, confirming the regulatory effects of RTE on inflammatory response-related metabolic pathways.

Isolation, Identification, and Immunomodulatory Mechanism of Peptides from Lepidium meyenii (Maca) Protein Hydrolysate

Ping He et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the hydrolysate of Maca protein enhances the immunomodulatory activity in macrophages and identifies the peptide RNPFLP as the most potent immunomodulatory peptide in the hydrolysate. Experimental evidence shows that RNPFLP activates macrophages through the NF-Kappa B and MAPK signaling pathways mediated by TLR2 and TLR4 receptors. Furthermore, the study reveals the important role of the N9-H60 active site in arginine in the immunomodulatory activity of RNPFLP.

Immunomodulatory; Anti-inflammatory/antioxidant Effects of Polyphenols: A Comparative Review on the Parental Compounds and Their Metabolites

Mahsa Sobhani et al.

Summary: This study investigates the immunomodulatory activities of polyphenols and highlights the importance of their chemical structure and biotransformation. The type, position, and extent of glycosylation significantly impact the immunomodulatory activities of polyphenols. Each polyphenol has its own structural relevance and should be individually assessed for their effects on the immune system.

Structure-function analysis of purified proanthocyanidins reveals a role for polymer size in suppressing inflammatory responses

Audrey Inge Schytz Andersen-Civil et al.

Summary: The study found that the size and structure of PAC polymers play a crucial role in their anti-inflammatory and gene pathway regulation abilities. PAC polymers with a medium mean degree of polymerization (mDP) of 9.1 induced significant transcriptomic changes, showing higher activity compared to PAC with low or high mDP.

Combination of light and oxygen accelerates formation of covalent protein- polyphenol bonding during chill storage of meat added 4-methyl catechol

Mohd Asraf Mohd Zainudin et al.

Summary: The study found that the formation of cysteine-4-methylcatechol adduct increased in meat added with 4-methylcatechol under light exposure, leading to a significant decrease in thiol concentrations. Additionally, samples added with 4MC showed loss of myosin heavy chain and an increase in larger protein polymers.

Coffee and its effects on the immune system

Busra Acikalin et al.

Summary: Coffee, which has been consumed worldwide for its stimulating effect and distinctive taste, is now recognized for its positive effects on health, particularly on the immune system. Compounds in coffee like caffeine, chlorogenic acids, and diterpenoid alcohols stimulate the immune system due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Caffeine and polyphenols in coffee are considered the main agents with immunomodulatory characteristics, depending on the daily dose of consumption.

Reactions of plant polyphenols in foods: Impact of molecular structure

Marianne N. Lund

Summary: This study focuses on the reaction mechanisms of plant polyphenols with food components and how the choice of polyphenols with specific molecular structure can control undesired reactions in foods. Polyphenols with o-diphenol structure oxidize in foods and react fast with amino acid residues, potentially changing protein functional properties. Additionally, polyphenols with hydroxyl groups in meta-position tend to favor reactions with carbonyls.
