Effect of ethyl esterification of phenolic acids on low-density lipoprotein oxidation

Berry Fruits as a Source of Biologically Active Compounds: The Case of Lonicera Caerulea

“…Phenolic acids form approximately one third of the total intake of plant polyphenols in the human diet 42 . Daily consumption of phenolic acids has been estimated as 25 to 1000 mg (ref.…”

“…They are present in free and bound forms in plant material. Bound phenolic acids may be linked through ester, ether, acetyl or other bonds 42 . Simple phenolic acids may also be formed by colonic microfl ora from ingested fl avonoids 44 .…”

Enzymatic Synthesis of Hydroxycinnamic Acid Glycerol Esters Using Type A Feruloyl Esterase fromAspergillus niger

“…22) In contrast, ethyl HA esters have just as much DPPH radical-scavenging ability as the original HAs. 23) Therefore, esterification of HAs with hydrophilic compounds appears to affect the electrondonating property of the phenolic ring of HAs.…”

The polyphenolics in the aqueous extract ofPsidium guajavakinetically reveal an inhibition model on LDL glycation

“…In our laboratory, we identified seven major compounds in guava leaves, which included gallic acid, catechin, epicatechin, rutin, quercetin, naringenin, and kaempferol (Table 1). Much of the literature indicates that phenolic compounds are beneficial to cancer prevention (Hollman & Katan, 1999) and many atherosclerotic vascular diseases (Chalas et al, 2001;Kerry & Abbey, 1997).…”
