“…The minor antioxidant capacity of the D. opuntiae extract compared with that of the D. coccus extract was caused by the lower content of carminic acid in the D. opuntiae powder than that found in the D. coccus powder, as mentioned in Section 3.2. Coinciding with our data, ascorbic acid is recognized as a substance with a higher antioxidant capacity than BHT [21], carminic acid is a recognized antioxidant as mentioned above, and D. coccus extract has a potential antioxidant activity caused by its carminic acid content in insects [20].…”

Dactylopius opuntiae is an insect pest that contains at least carminic acid, which has antioxidant properties. Since there is a relationship between the antioxidant ability and preservative action of compounds applied to meat products, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity and usefulness of a D. opuntiae extract for beef patty preservation. The insects were bred and processed to obtain a liquid extract. For the extract, its carminic acid content, antioxidant activity against two free radicals, and actions on food quality parameters were determined. The D. opuntiae dry powder contained 2.91% w/w carminic acid, while the liquid extract exhibited an IC50 value of 3437.8 ± 67.8 and 19633.0 ± 674.5 µg/mL against the DPPH and ABTS radicals. Nevertheless, these antioxidant actions were lower than those found in a D. coccus extract. The D. opuntiae extract improved in a short time the redness and yellowness, eliminated the unfavorable effect of their vehicle on the MetMb level, and greatly reduced the TBARS formation. For the first time, an extract of D. opuntiae was applied to beef patties, and its beneficial antioxidant action on meat acceptance parameters was confirmed, which has potential commercial applications.

“…The addition of sodium ascorbate and vitamin A to pig feed can significantly improve the growth performance, antioxidant capacity and immune function of weaned piglets. Meanwhile, as an antioxidant, sodium ascorbate can delay the degradation of vitamin A [ 112 ]. A cornstarch-based baking premix was developed by addition of vitamin B, vitamin C and digestible iron, zinc, selenium and iodine.…”

The L-enantiomer of ascorbic acid is commonly known as vitamin C. It is an indispensable nutrient and plays a key role in retaining the physiological process of humans and animals. L-gulonolactone oxidase, the key enzyme for the de novo synthesis of ascorbic acid, is lacking in some mammals including humans. The functionality of ascorbic acid has prompted the development of foods fortified with this vitamin. As a natural antioxidant, it is expected to protect the sensory and nutritional characteristics of the food. It is thus important to know the degradation of ascorbic acid in the food matrix and its interaction with coexisting components. The biggest challenge in the utilization of ascorbic acid is maintaining its stability and improving its delivery to the active site. The review also includes the current strategies for stabilizing ascorbic acid and the commercial applications of ascorbic acid.

“…Vitamin A covers a group of unsaturated organic compounds, which are divided into retinol, retinal, and retinoic acid. It acts as a key component in the realization of many important and diverse biological functions, such as reproduction, embryonic development, cell differentiation, growth, immunity, and vision. , Except for its well-known physiological function for vision, recently, the importance of vitamin A for the brain and cognition has been increasingly recognized. The controlled synthesis of retinoic acid is closely related to the regulation of synaptic plasticity in brain regions involved in learning and memory, such as the hippocampus.…”

Dietary lipids are an indispensable source of energy and nutrition in human life. Numerous studies have shown that dietary bioactive lipids have many health benefits, including prevention or treatment of chronic diseases. The different chemical compositions and structural characteristics of bioactive lipids not only affect their digestion, absorption, and metabolism but also affect their health properties. In this review, the major dietary bioactive lipids (fatty acids, carotenoids, phytosterols, phenolic lipids, fat-soluble vitamins, and sphingomyelins) in foods are systematically summarized, from the aspects of composition, digestion, absorption, metabolism, source, structural characteristics, and their health properties. In particular, the relationship between the compositional and structural changes of bioactive lipids and their absorption and metabolism is discussed as well as their effect on health properties. This review provides a comprehensive summary toward health properties of dietary bioactive lipids.
