"Pyranoanthocyanins as novel food colorants" during Polyphenols 2014 World Congress in Lisbon next June 2014
Dr. Fabian Weber from University of Bonn, Germany will present his work. Pyranoanthocyanins are pigments primarily occurring in processed fruit products like juices and wines.
They are formed by the reaction of genuine anthocyanins and several compounds such as pyruvic acid or vinylphenols. The latter are microbial conversion products of hydroxycinnamic acids, e.g., p-coumaric and ferulic acids, formed by decarboxylase-positive Lactobacillus species. Pyranoanthocyanins are of particular interest in food technology because they show increased color stability compared to anthocyanins and exhibit a broad spectrum of color tonalities, rendering them attractive candidates for the application as food colorants.
Global metabolomics for discovery of polyphenol bioactivity: unravelling broad-spectrum effects of xanthohumol in a rodent model of obesity
Dr Fred Stevens, from Linus Pauling Institute and College of Pharmacy, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, U.S.A will present his recent studies about Global metabolomics for discovery of polyphenol bioactivity: unravelling broad-spectrum effects of xanthohumol in a rodent model of obesity during Lisbon Polyphenols World Congress.
Xanthohumol is a prenylated flavonoid found in hops and beer, and in dietary supplements.
The team treated Zucker fa/fa rats, a model of obesity and metabolic syndrome, for six weeks with xanthohumol at four dose levels and measured metabolome profiles in addition to single endpoints of glucose and lipid homeostasis.
Daily polyphenols intake from fresh fruits in Portugal
During the Polyphenols 2014 World Congress in Lisbon next June 2014, Pr. Claudia Santos from Instituto de Biologia Experimental e Tecnologica, Portugal will propose her work based on "Overview on Daily polyphenols intake from fresh fruits, in particular berries. Effects of berries metabolites on brain."
Despite the well know epidemiological associations between polyphenols and health, the effective polyphenol metabolites and their mechanism of action in human organism is still fairly unknown. Studying the biological mechanisms by which dietary poplyphenols exert an impact in human health requires the knowledge about polyphenols intake, tissue bioavailability, metabolism and bioactivities.
