Supplementing the Diet of Dairy Goats with Dried Orange Pulp throughout Lactation: II Effect on Milk Fatty Acids Profile, Phenolic Compounds, Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Antioxidant Capacity

“…Minor FAs, such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), have been reported to have anticancer effects [ 6 ] or protect against CVD [ 7 ]. Finally, foods containing natural antioxidants (such as vitamins A, C and E, carotenoids, phenolic compounds) have become popular because antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and their deleterious effects in both humans and animals, as well as negating the oxidation processes which can result in a deterioration of nutritional quality [ 8 , 9 ].…”

“…An example of such organic waste is dried orange pulp (DOP), a by-product that represents up to 15% w / w of the input. In the context of animal feed, it can be used as a source of both energy and, importantly, bioactive compounds, including phenolic compounds and vitamin E [ 17 , 18 , 19 ], compounds that have health-related properties, especially based on their antioxidant activity [ 8 , 9 ]. However, few studies have considered the substitution of cereals with DOP in goat diets or the effect this might have on the resultant milk’s FA and antioxidant properties [ 20 , 21 ].…”

Potential of grape byproducts as functional ingredients in baked goods and pasta

“…Polyphenols digestion consists of absorption in the intestine along with the DFs and releasing from the matrix formed with fibers into the colon due to the favorable antioxidant environment created by the bacteria (Kawabata, Yoshioka, & Terao, 2019;Saura-Calixto, 2011). Antioxidants contribute to the prevention of various cancer types, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and several dermal disorders (Kawabata et al, 2019;Seifried, Harrison, & Seifried, 2017). Grape seeds are rich in monounsaturated and unsaturated fatty acids, one of them being the linoleic acid (Lachman et al, 2015;Pérez-Navarro, Da Ros, et al, 2019), whereas grape peels have high amounts of saturated acids mainly stearic, palmitic, and lignoceric (Pérez-Navarro, Da Ros, et al, 2019).…”

The Role of Vitamin C in the Protection and Modulation of Genotoxic Damage Induced by Metals Associated with Oxidative Stress

“…Several studies have suggested that diets rich in fresh fruits and vegetables are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer because of the high levels of antioxidants such as vitamin C and polyphenols present in these foods [1]. The antioxidant efects of vitamin C have been observed both in vitro and in vivo.…”
