“…This aspect is a challenge in food-derived bioactive compounds, which can act as nutraceuticals and/or supplements. Thanks to the widely accepted benefits of apigenin, there are possibilities emerging to establish new methods for the recovery of this compound from alternative sources, such as macro- and microalgae [143,144] and agro-food waste [145], achieved through using green and innovative technologies, like enzymatic treatment, microwave-assisted extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, supercritical CO 2 and subcritical water technologies, which can be both environmentally friendly and sustainable [146,147].…”

Several plant bioactive compounds have exhibited functional activities that suggest they could play a remarkable role in preventing a wide range of chronic diseases. The largest group of naturally-occurring polyphenols are the flavonoids, including apigenin. The present work is an updated overview of apigenin, focusing on its health-promoting effects/therapeutic functions and, in particular, results of in vivo research. In addition to an introduction to its chemistry, nutraceutical features have also been described. The main key findings from in vivo research, including animal models and human studies, are summarized. The beneficial indications are reported and discussed in detail, including effects in diabetes, amnesia and Alzheimer’s disease, depression and insomnia, cancer, etc. Finally, data on flavonoids from the main public databases are gathered to highlight the apigenin’s key role in dietary assessment and in the evaluation of a formulated diet, to determine exposure and to investigate its health effects in vivo.

“…Bioactive compounds deriving from food and plants are used as supplements or nutraceutical products [180,181], but the challenging aspect of isolation of bioactive compounds, their bioavailability and stability, should be resolved via different techniques by recovering them from some other natural sources like microalgae. This challenging process has been overcome for apigenin by recovering it from agrofood wastes and microalgae using different techniques, such as microwave-assisted extraction, supercritical CO 2 and subcritical water technologies and enzymatic techniques [182][183][184]. Researchers have found apigenin to be the safest therapeutic moiety.…”

Metabolic syndrome and its associated disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus are globally prevalent. Different molecules showing therapeutic potential are currently available for the management of metabolic syndrome, although their efficacy has often been compromised by their poor bioavailability and side effects. Studies have been carried out on medicinal plant extracts for the treatment and prevention of metabolic syndrome. In this regard, isolated pure compounds have shown promising efficacy for the management of metabolic syndrome, both in preclinical and clinical settings. Apigenin, a natural bioactive flavonoid widely present in medicinal plants, functional foods, vegetables and fruits, exerts protective effects in models of neurological disorders and cardiovascular diseases and most of these effects are attributed to its antioxidant action. Various preclinical and clinical studies carried out so far show a protective effect of apigenin against metabolic syndrome. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review on both in vitro and in vivo evidence related to the promising antioxidant role of apigenin in cardioprotection, neuroprotection and renoprotection, and to its beneficial action in metabolic-syndrome-dependent organ dysfunction. We also provide evidence on the potential of apigenin in the prevention and/or treatment of metabolic syndrome, analysing the potential and limitation of its therapeutic use.

“…A major by-product obtained during the processing of carrot root is carrot peel, which is considered as a huge source of waste (approximately 5.28 million tonnes per year) [24] that increases the risk of pollution to the environment. Hence, there is potential to recycle carrot peel from the carrot processing industry as a rich source of bioactive compounds and pigments [25].…”

(1) Background: Drying is an important process in the research of bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to identify an optimal condition to dry carrot peel. (2) Methods: In this study, various drying conditions including hot-air (50 °C and 100 °C), vacuum (50 °C and 100 °C), microwave (600 W and 1200 W) and freeze dying (−45 °C) were applied, and the phytochemical yield and antioxidant activity of carrot peel were then assessed. (3) Results: The results showed that the highest amount of phytochemical compounds was achieved by microwave drying at 1200 W, followed by microwave drying at 600 W and freeze drying at −45 °C. In contrast, hot-air drying resulted in the lowest level of phytochemical compounds. Regarding the antioxidant activity of carrot peel, microwave drying at 1200 W was an optimal condition as it possessed the best antioxidant activity whereas hot-air, vacuum and freeze drying were not effective methods for retaining antioxidant activity. (4) Conclusions: Based on the results obtained from this study, microwave drying at 1200 W is recommended to dry carrot peel for potential application in the nutraceutical, beverage and/or functional food industries.
