“…Another recent focus has been the integration of anthocyanins and antioxidants in maize kernels [14]. Anthocyanins, the compounds imparting a blue-red hue to kernels, have been recognized for their health benefits in various studies [15,16]. Similar selection processes for high anthocyanin content have been observed in other crops like barley [17].…”

In this study, we evaluated Polimaize lines, named Polimaize, through the integration of alleles from the Native Blue Corn (NBC-JIQ), a local Mexican maize variety indigenous to the northeast region of Michoacán, Mexico, into elite maize lines curated by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT). This crossbreeding aimed to enhance the nutritional profile of maize, particularly in terms of antioxidants and anthocyanins, which are scarce in elite lines. Our results demonstrated a significant increase in these compounds in the Polimaize lines, with variations due to heterosis. Despite these nutritional improvements, some traits showed decreased concentrations compared to parent lines, notably in sucrose and tryptophan, suggesting a potential trade-off. The study also found significant heritability in amino acids and tryptophan, while hexose sugars showed no substantial heritability. The Polimaize variety exhibited high starch content heritability, comparable to elite lines. Field trials confirmed Polimaize’s promising yield and agronomic traits, highlighting its potential for enhancing consumer health and contributing to sustainable agriculture through enriched crop nutritional quality. This project underscores the value of integrating local race alleles into elite lines, offering genetic diversity in maize cultivation.

“…By increasing the body's resistance to physiological stress and potentially delaying cellular aging, anthocyanins present can help with health promotion and lifespan extension (Kalt 2019; Wallace and Giusti 2019). Anthocyanins have been shown to possess potent antioxidant properties and have been linked to a reduced risk of agerelated diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders (Chhoden et al 2023; Khoo et al 2017;Salehi et al 2020). Anthocyanidins have the ability to suppress the reaction of non-enzymatic glycosylation (glycation), playing a certain role in the entire reaction process (Gao et al 2023b).…”

Worldwide aging population continues to increase, so the concept of healthy longevity medicine has become increasingly significant in modern society. Berberis vulgaris L. fruits serve as a functional food supplement with a high concentration of bioactive compounds, which offer numerous health-promoting benefits. The goal of this study was to investigate the geroprotective effect of Berberis vulgaris L. extract. Here we show that extract of Berberis vulgaris L. can, depending on concentrate, increase lifespan up to 6%, promote healthspan (stress resistance up to 35%, locomotor activity up to 25%, integrity of the intestinal barrier up to 12%, metabolic rate up to 5%) of Drosophila melanogaster (in vitro) and exhibits antioxidant (using red blood cell tests) and antiglycation activity (using glycation of bovine serum albumin) (in vitro). In addition to this, the extract does not exhibit cytotoxic properties in vitro, unlike the well-known polyphenolic compound quercetin. qRT-PCR revealed the involvement of metabolic, heat shock response and lipid metabolism genes in the observed effects.

“…Anthocyanins represent a distinct category of the phenolic compound family, often examined in isolation due to their significant biological relevance [20]. Their notable attributes encompass the enhancement of the shelf life of various food products, the mitigation of oxidative stress, which bears considerable implications in the context of afflictions such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, manifesting anti-inflammatory properties, safeguarding the gastrointestinal microbiota, and exerting a considerable influence in the realm of averting obesity and type 2 diabetes [21][22][23][24][25]. It is worth noting that in Morus nigra varieties, anthocyanin content can account for up to 50% of the overall phenolic compound composition [26], thereby signifying their pivotal role in conferring distinctive properties associated with the consumption of this fruit.…”

The present investigation endeavors to optimize a method based on enzyme-assisted extraction for the efficient retrieval of bioactive compounds from mulberry, leveraging its notable health-promoting properties. A combined approach of Plackett–Burman design followed by Box–Behnken design was employed for determining the crucial extraction parameters and subsequently, refining the process. Optimal conditions consisted of heating 0.15 g of mulberry at 40 °C, using 15 mL of 70% EtOH as a solvent at pH 4, 38.46 enzyme units per g of sample, and shaking at 200 rpm. The optimum extraction time study revealed that 5 min of extraction was sufficient to reach the maximum concentration of the bioactive compound. The repeatability and intermediate precision assessment exhibited a coefficient of variation below 5%. Among the diverse mulberry varieties scrutinized, Morus nigra showed the highest anthocyanin content (27.90 ± 2.14 mg/100 g), while Morus rubra showed the highest concentration of phenolic compounds (121.10 ± 19.56 mg/100 g). Moreover, the extracted compounds showcased significant antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
