“…Natural beverages derived from hawthorn fruits with high energy, vitamin, and mineral contents are pasteurized in Türkiye (pestil) and are consumed for their positive effects on human health [16]. Recent investigations have illustrated the physiological activities of polysaccharides obtained from C. monogyna as prebiotics and antioxidants with applicability in the food industry [17]. Baked hawthorn products, such as bread and jams, are recommended to consumers with type 2 diabetes.…”

In addition to the naturopathic medicines based on the antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, or antioxidant properties of plant extracts that have been capitalized upon through the pharmaceutical industry, the increasing interest of the food industry in this area requires potent new materials capable of supporting this market. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro amino acid contents and antioxidant activities of ethanolic extracts from sixteen plants. Our results show high accumulated amino acid contents, mainly of proline, glutamic, and aspartic acid. The most consistent values of essential amino acids were isolated from T. officinale, U. dioica, C. majus, A. annua, and M. spicata. The results of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay indicate that R. officinalis was the most potent antioxidant, followed by four other extracts (in decreasing order): T. serpyllum, C. monogyna, S. officinalis, and M. koenigii. The network and principal component analyses found four natural groupings between samples based on DPPH free radical scavenging activity content. Each plant extracts’ antioxidant action was discussed based on similar results found in the literature, and a lower capacity was observed for most species. An overall ranking of the analyzed plant species can be accomplished due to the range of experimental methods. The literature review revealed that these natural antioxidants represent the best side-effect-free alternatives to synthetic additives, especially in the food processing industry.

“…In the study by Teng et al [25] , passion fruit was extracted with hot water, mixed with ethanol, and placed overnight to precipitate polysaccharides, which were dialyzed with molecular weight cutoff of 3500 Da and freeze-dried to obtain refined polysaccharides. Bensaci et al [26] stirred hawthorn fruit pulps with distilled water for a total of 24 hours, which were filtered and precipitated with ethanol to obtain crude water-soluble polysaccharide substances. Ultrasound-assisted extraction was used to improve the yield of polysaccharides.…”

Globally, humans are at the risk of increasing incidence of metabolic diseases, the occurrence of which is closely linked to people's daily diet. Fruits and vegetables are one of the important daily food types of people. Varieties of plant secondary metabolites are contained in fruits and vegetables, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, anthraquinones, terpenoids, alkaloids, steroidal saponins and polysaccharides. These metabolites usually have multiply bioactive functions, such as antioxidant, antitumor, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, neuroprotection, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and disease prevention, which is of great importance in preventing the occurrence of human metabolic diseases. However, the composition and content, bioactive functions and mechanisms of action of these metabolites in different types of fruits and vegetables vary greatly. The research progress of the main bioactive components of fruits and vegetables and their multi-functions are reviewed in this paper to promote people's understanding and utilization of functional components of fruits and vegetables.

Analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates by matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry: An update for 2021–2022

Mass Spectrometry Reviews

The use of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022. As with previous review, this review also includes a few papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. The review follows the same format as previous reviews. It is divided into three sections: (1) general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation, quantification and the use of computer software for structural identification. (2) Applications to various structural types such as oligo‐ and polysaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides and biopharmaceuticals, and (3) other general areas such as medicine, industrial processes, natural products and glycan synthesis where MALDI is extensively used. Much of the material relating to applications is presented in tabular form. MALDI is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis, particularly in its ability to produce single ions from each analyte and advancements in the technique and range of applications show little sign of diminishing.
