The development of biomaterials with intrinsic antioxidant properties could represent a valuable strategy for preventing the onset of peri-implant diseases. In this context, quercetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, has been entrapped at different weight percentages in a silica-based inorganic material by a sol–gel route. The establishment of hydrogen bond interactions between the flavonol and the solid matrix was ascertained by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. This technique also evidenced changes in the stretching frequencies of the quercetin dienonic moiety, suggesting that the formation of a secondary product occurs. Scanning electron microscopy was applied to detect the morphology of the synthesized materials. Their bioactivity was shown by the formation of a hydroxyapatite layer on sample surface soaked in a fluid that simulates the composition of human blood plasma. When the potential release of flavonol was determined by liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry techniques, the eluates displayed a retention time that was 0.5 min less than quercetin. Collision-activated dissociation mass spectrometry and untraviolet-visible spectroscopy were in accordance with the release of a quercetin derivative. The antiradical properties of the investigated systems were evaluated by DPPH and ABTS methods, whereas the 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate assay highlighted their ability to inhibit the H2O2-induced intracellular production of reactive oxygen species in NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. Data obtained, along with data gathered from the MTT cytotoxicity test, revealed that the materials that entrapped the highest amount of quercetin showed notable antioxidant effectiveness.

“…Generally, the concentration of anthocyanins is closely related to the color of cherry skin . Among flavonols and flavan‐3‐ols, quercetin‐3‐ O ‐rutinose and epicatechin were determined as the main compounds belonging to the corresponding class present in sweet cherries . In addition, sweet cherries are also a good source of phenolic acids .…”

BACKGOUND Sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) are rich in polyphenols and have high antioxidant potential. This study deals with the use of ultra‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry on five cherry cultivars, namely Caihong, Sunburst, Summit, 23–51 and Valeri, to determine the free, conjugated and bound phenolics in peel and flesh. RESULTS Phenolics varied widely based on cherry cultivars and edible parts. Valeri showed the highest phenolics in peel, while the flesh of 23–51 contained a higher amount of phenolic substances compared with the other cherries, mainly due to high levels of cyanidin‐3‐O‐rutinoside, which was the most abundant phenolic in sweet cherry. Most of the phenolics, except for ferulic acid and vanillic acid, were present at a higher level in peel than in flesh. Principal component analysis indicated that compared with different edible parts, the phenolic compounds were more influenced by cultivar. CONCLUSIONS Cultivar had a much greater impact on the accumulation of phenolics than edible parts. The peel of Valeri contained the highest phenolics; for the flesh, 23–51 had the highest levels. The high variability in phenolic compounds in peel and flesh among cultivars may be useful for breeding and underlines the importance of germplasm conservation activities. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…This value is higher than those reported for fruits such as myrtle and maqui, containing 0.3 and 0.8 g of fat per 100 g, respectively (Tacón, 2004), or compared to the lipid content of sweet cherry (Prunus avium) cv. 'Della Recca, which is 0.033 g 100 g -1 according Pacifico et al (2014). However, this value is lower than those of fruits that are characterized by their high fat content such as the avocado, which has 13.8 g of fat 100 g -1 of sample (Gil, 2010), or green olives, which can vary from 17.7 to 43.5 g per 100 g (Tanilgan et al, 2007).…”

Peumus boldus is an endemic Chilean tree whose edible fruit lack a history of scientific research. The aim of this study was to determine its nutritional composition (moisture, ash, crude fiber, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) and polyphenolic content (total phenolic content, HPLC-DAD, HPLC-MS/MS analysis) at different stages of development. The results show that the fruit decreased in ash, crude fiber and total phenolic content throughout its development, while its carbohydrate and protein content increased. An increase in phenolic molecules such as catechin and epicatechin was also observed. This is the first report on the nutritional composition and phenolic content of Peumus boldus Mol. fruits.
