Characterisation of aroma compounds, sensory characteristics, and bioactive components of a new type of huangjiu fermented with Chinese wild rice (Zizania latifolia). Food Chem 2024; 452:139524. [PMID: 38703742 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Chinese wild rice (CWR) is a nutritious and healthy whole grain, worth developing. To develop and use its value, a new type of huangjiu was brewed with CWR, and the flavour characteristics, sensory quality, functional and bioactive components were evaluated. CWR (67 flavour substances) and glutinous rice (GR)-CWR huangjiu (62 flavour substances) had a better flavour than GR huangjiu (54 flavour substances), and the overall style of GR-CWR huangjiu was more skewed towards GR. The fruity, honey, caramel-like, herb and smoky aroma attributes of CWR huangjiu were higher than those of GR huangjiu (P < 0.05), while only the alcoholic was weaker (P < 0.05) due to the lower alcohol content. The huangjiu brewed using CWR had a better taste than that brewed using only GR. Furthermore, CWR huangjiu had the highest content of total dietary fiber (732.0 ± 15.2 mg/100 g), followed by GR-CWR (307.0 ± 8.5 mg/100 g), and GR (127.0 ± 2.3 mg/100 g). CWR huangjiu also had the highest total phenolic compounds (3.32 ± 0.05 mg/100 g/%vol) and total saponins (2.46 ± 0.03 mg/100 g/%vol) contents, followed by GR-CWR and GR. This study provides guidance for exploring further possibilities for CWR in the future.

Time maters: Exploring the dynamics of bioactive compounds content, bioaccessibility and antioxidant activity during Lupinus angustifolius germination. Food Res Int 2024; 187:114426. [PMID: 38763676 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Germination is a process that enhances the content of health-promoting secondary metabolites. However, the bioaccessibility of these compounds depends on their stability and solubility throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The study aimed to explore how germination time influences the content and bioaccessibility of γ-aminobutyric acid and polyphenols and antioxidant capacity of lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) sprouts during simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Gamma-aminobutyric acid showed a decrease following gastrointestinal digestion (GID) whereas phenolic acids and flavonoids exhibited bioaccessibilities of up to 82.56 and 114.20%, respectively. Although the digestion process affected the profile of phenolic acids and flavonoids, certain isoflavonoids identified in 7-day sprouts (G7) showed resistance to GID. Germination not only favored antioxidant activity but also resulted in germinated samples exhibiting greater antioxidant properties than ungerminated counter parts after GID. Intestinal digests from G7 did not show cytotoxicity in RAW 264.7 macrophages, and notably, they showed an outstanding ability to inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species. This suggests potential benefit in mitigating oxidative stress. These findings contribute to understand the dynamic interplay between bioprocessing and digestion in modulating the bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds in lupin, thereby impacting health.

[PMID: 38846565 PMCID: PMC11153664 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1391558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Sanghuangprous vaninii is a medicinal macrofungus cultivated extensively in China. Both the mycelia and fruiting bodies of S. vaninii have remarkable therapeutic properties, but it remains unclear whether the mycelia may serve as a substitute for the fruiting bodies. Furthermore, S. vaninii is a perennial fungus with therapeutic components that vary significantly depending on the growing year of the fruiting bodies. Hence, it is critical to select an appropriate harvest stage for S. vaninii fruiting bodies for a specific purpose. With the aid of Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), metabolomics based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QQQ-MS) was used to preliminarily determine 81 key active metabolites and 157 active pharmaceutical metabolites in S. vaninii responsible for resistance to the six major diseases. To evaluate the substitutability of the mycelia and fruiting bodies of S. vaninii and to select an appropriate harvest stage for the fruiting bodies of S. vaninii, we analyzed the metabolite differences, especially active metabolite differences, among the mycelia and fruiting bodies during three different harvest stages (1-year-old, 2-year-old, and 3-year-old). Moreover, we also determined the most prominent and crucial metabolites in each sample of S. vaninii. These results suggested that the mycelia show promise as a substitute for the fruiting bodies of S. vaninii and that extending the growth year does not necessarily lead to higher accumulation levels of active metabolites in the S. vaninii fruiting bodies. This study provided a theoretical basis for developing and using S. vaninii.

Abstract
Drying temperature (DT) considerably affects the flavor of black tea (BT); however, its influence on non-volatile metabolites (NVMs) and their correlations remain unclear. In this study, an objective quantification technique and widely targeted metabolomics were applied to explore the effects of DT (130 °C, 110 °C, 90 °C, and 70 °C) on BT flavor and NVMs conversion. BT with a DT of 90 °C presented the highest umami, sweetness, overall taste, and brightness color values. Using the weighted gene co-expression network and multiple factor analysis, 455 sensory trait-related NVMs were explored across six key modules. Moreover, 169 differential NVMs were screened, and flavonoids, phenolic acids, amino acids, organic acids, and lipids were identified as key differential NVMs affecting the taste and color attributes of BT in response to DT. These findings enrich the BT processing theory and offer technical support for the precise and targeted processing of high-quality BT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The consumption of oranges generates huge amounts of pomaces, which are the potential raw materials to increase the nutritional value of the products. RESULTS In this study, the bioactive composition and flavor volatiles in Lactobacillus fermented orange juice with added pomaces were researched. Results showed that the orange juices blended with pomaces were favorable substrates for Lactobacillus growth and the colony counts reached above 9.0 log CFU mL-1 , total phenolics, total flavonoids, and the antioxidant activity in orange juices were increased significantly after adding pomaces. Some amino acids, such as threonine (P < 0.0001), isoleucine (P < 0.01), and glycine (P < 0.01) were markedly higher in fermented orange juices with pomaces. The flavonoid diversity was more abundant by adding pomace fermentation and most flavonoids showed higher levels in fermented juices with the pomace, Lactobacillus fermentum 252 may transform some flavonoids through deglycosylation and reduction reaction. Furthermore, orange pomace mainly improved the flavor volatiles by increasing terpenoids and alcohol, such as d-limonene and benzyl alcohol, and decreasing volatile acids. CONCLUSION This study presented a novelty in elevating the nutritional value of juice by the utilization of pomaces, its findings can provide a new way to mine the bioactive ingredient from Citrus by Lactobacillus, and can be used as a guide for the development of new Citrus processing technologies and functional foods. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Mussaenda pubescens (Mp) is a valuable medicinal plant that has traditionally been used for medicinal purposes or as a tea substitute. However, there are few studies on the comprehensive and dynamic evaluation of Mp metabolites. This study used an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) approach and biochemical analysis to investigate substance changes in leaves at three different stages and elucidate the relationship between metabolites and antioxidant capacity. The findings showed that Mp leaves contained 957 metabolites, the majority of which were phenolic acids, lipids, and terpenoids. The metabolite profiling of Mp leaves was significantly influenced by their growth and development at different stages. A total of 317 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were screened, including 150 primary metabolites and 167 secondary metabolites, with 202 DAMs found in bud leaf vs. tender leaf, 54 DAMs in tender leaf vs. mature leaf, and 254 DAMs in bud leaf vs. mature leaf. Total phenolics, flavonoids, and anthocyanin concentrations decreased as Mp leaves grew and developed, whereas terpenoids increased significantly. The secondary metabolites also demonstrated a positive correlation with antioxidant activity. Phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, and anthocyanins were the primary factors influencing the antioxidant activity of leaves. These findings provide new insights into the metabolite formation mechanism, as well as the development and utilization of Mp tea.

Abstract
Short germination is a process that can improve bioactive compounds in rice. This work aimed investigate the physical properties, phenolic compounds (PC), antioxidant activity and amino acids composition of husk + bran, brown and milled rice with high amylose content after short germination (16 h). α-amylase activity (Falling Number, FN) and enthalpy (ΔH) were unchanged (p < 0.05). RVA curve profiles were similar, even though after short germination and milling. Globally, metabolomics analysis identified 117 PC, in which 111 (bound), 104 (free) and 21 revealed in both extracts. p-Coumaric, trans-ferulic and ferulic acids were the most abundant PC revealed in all fractions. The portion husk + bran showed the highest level of total antioxidant activity (709.90 µmol TE) in both free and bound fractions. In terms of total amino acids, there was no statistical difference (p < 0.05) among non-germinated and germinated samples, contrary to free amino acids content. Glutamic acid (Glu) presented the highest values combining short germination and milling (1725-1900 mg/100 g) consequently, leads to higher value of GABA (12.21 mg/100 g). The combination of short germination and milling demonstrated a good strategy to improve the nutritional quality of rice, unless the thermal and pasting properties have been altered, contribute to potential health benefits on human nutrition.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to investigate pathological changes in the "Glutamate (Glu)-γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)" loop and apply widely targeted metabolomic analysis technology to comprehensively explore metabolite abnormalities/ in the thalamus of rats with tic disorders (TD). Methods Wistar rats were randomized into control, TD, and tiapride (Tia) groups. Iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) was used to induce TD in rats. The Tia group was administered tiapride. Neurotransmitter levels in the thalamus of rats in the three groups were measured using UPLC-3Q MS. And, the protein expression levels of Glu decarboxylase (GAD65/67) and GABA transporter protein (GAD-T) were measured using western blotting. The mRNA expression levels of these genes were evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Lastly, other metabolites in the thalamus were detected by widely targeted metabolomic analysis between TD and Control group rats. Results The Glu level, Glu/GABA ratio, and Asp level in the TD group were significantly higher (all p < 0.001) than those of the Control group, whereas the GABA and Gly levels were lower (p < 0.001 and p = 0.009, respectively). The Tia group exhibited a significant reduction in the Glu level (p = 0.001) compared with the TD group. The protein expression level of GAD67 in TD group was higher (p = 0.009) and the mRNA expression levels of GAD65, GAD67, and GAT-1 were lower (p < 0.05) than those of the Control group. The Tia group did not display any differences in GAD65, GAD67, or GAT-1 expression. Widely targeted metabolomic analysis revealed that 34 substances were abnornal between the TD and Control groups (9 upregulated and 25 downregulated). Neurosteroids (progesterone, corticosterone) exhibited distinct differences. Metabolite analysis using the Kyoto encyclopedia for genes and genomes indicated that the steroid hormone biosynthesis pathway may be involved in TD pathogenesis. Conclusion This study revealed metabolic abnormalities in the thalamus of rats with TD. The interaction between neurotransmitters and neurosteroid biosynthesis represents a new direction for future studies.

Abstract
Germination has been regarded as a promising natural process to improve the antioxidant properties of mustard. However, there ís one question to be solved in this area: does germination improve mustard phenolics' bioaccessibility? The aim of this study was to answer this question by using INFOGEST protocol to simulate in vitro digestion. Resveratrol, formononetin and cryptochlorogenic acid were identified for the first time as evaluated by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. In general, digestion positively impacted the antioxidant potential of soluble phenolics from non-germinated and germinated grains, which were probably released from cell wall matrix by digestive enzymes. Although digestion seemed to nullify the antioxidant improvement caused by germination, phenolic quantities were distinctive. The main difference was found for sinapic acid, as its concentration reached a value 1.75-fold higher in germinated digested mustard compared to non-germinated. The results obtained suggested that germination improved the phenolic bioaccessibility of mustard grains, which encourages its use and investigations.

Biotransformation of white and black mustard grains through germination and enzymatic hydrolysis revealed important metabolites for antioxidant properties and cytotoxic activity against Caco-2 cells. Food Res Int 2023; 169:112881.

Abstract
Germination and enzymatic hydrolysis are biological processes with well-recognized positive effects on phenolic composition and antioxidant potential. This study aimed to apply those processes to white (Sinapsis alba) and black (Brassica nigra) mustard grains and to analyze the influences on the total phenolic content (TPC); phenolic and peptide profile determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS); antioxidant potential (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays); and cytotoxicity against Caco-2, a human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line. Enzyme combinations for hydrolysis were different for each mustard grain, but for both species, enzymatic hydrolysis and germination showed a positive effect on antioxidant properties. From UPLC-HRMS analysis and molecular network studies, 14 peptides and 17 phenolic compounds were identified as metabolites released from mustard after processes application, which were strongly correlated with increased antioxidant activity. In addition, enzymatic hydrolysis applied in germinated mustard grains for both mustards increased the cytotoxic activity against Caco-2 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chickens provide globally important livestock products. Understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms underpinning chicken economic traits is crucial for improving their selective breeding. Influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, metabolites are the ultimate expression of physiological processes and can provide key insights into livestock economic traits. However, the serum metabolite profile and genetic architecture of the metabolome in chickens have not been well studied. RESULTS Here, comprehensive metabolome detection was performed using non-targeted LC-MS/MS on serum from a chicken advanced intercross line (AIL). In total, 7,191 metabolites were used to construct a chicken serum metabolomics dataset and to comprehensively characterize the serum metabolism of the chicken AIL population. Regulatory loci affecting metabolites were identified in a metabolome genome-wide association study (mGWAS). There were 10,061 significant SNPs associated with 253 metabolites that were widely distributed across the entire chicken genome. Many functional genes affect metabolite synthesis, metabolism, and regulation. We highlight the key roles of TDH and AASS in amino acids, and ABCB1 and CD36 in lipids. CONCLUSIONS We constructed a chicken serum metabolite dataset containing 7,191 metabolites to provide a reference for future chicken metabolome characterization work. Meanwhile, we used mGWAS to analyze the genetic basis of chicken metabolic traits and metabolites and to improve chicken breeding.

Comprehensive Analysis of Secondary Metabolites of Four Medicinal Thyme Species Used in Folk Medicine and Their Antioxidant Activities In Vitro. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28062582. [PMID: 36985554 PMCID: PMC10052123 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28062582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Thyme is a colloquial term for number of aromatic species belonging to the genus Thymus L., known for their expressed biological activities and therefore used worldwide for seasoning and in folk medicine. In the present paper, the content of the total polyphenols (TP), total flavonoids (TF), and antioxidant capacity were assessed in the extracts of four traditionally used thyme species. Moreover, a comprehensive metabolomic study of thyme bioactive compounds was performed, and the obtained data were processed using multivariate statistical tests. The results clearly demonstrated the positive correlation between the content of the TP, TF, and antioxidant activity, and TF was more significant than TP. The findings revealed that four selected thyme species contained 528 secondary metabolites, including 289 flavonoids and 146 phenolic acids. Thymus marschallianus had a higher concentration of active ingredients, which improve its antioxidant capacity. Differentially accumulated metabolites were formed by complex pathways such as flavonoid, flavone, flavonol, isoflavonoid, and anthocyanin biosynthesis. Correlation analysis showed that 59 metabolites (including 28 flavonoids, 18 phenolic acids, and 7 terpenoid compounds) were significantly correlated with obtained values of the antioxidant capacity. The results suggested that selected thyme species exhibit a great diversity in antioxidant-related components, whereas flavonoids may be responsible for the high antioxidant capacity of all studied thyme species. The present study greatly expands our understanding of the complex phytochemical profiles and related applications of selected medicinal plants.

Abstract
Diabetes can cause severe kidney disease. Euryale ferox seeds (Gordon Euryale) have known antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and renal protection effects. Methanol extracts of Gordon Euryale were produced from ungerminated and germinated seeds. The effect of germination on polyphenol and flavonoid content was investigated by Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Three doses of ungerminated seed extract (EKE) and germinated seed extract (GEKE) were administered to diabetic mice by gavage to explore the treatment-dependent improvement of oxidative stress, metabolic disorder, and kidney disease. Seed germination led to a 1.7 times increase in total phenol content in the extract, and the flavonoid content was increased by 1.9 times. Germination greatly increased the contents of 29 polyphenols and 1 terpenoid. At the same dose, GEKE more strongly improved hyperglycemia, abnormal lipid metabolism, and renal tissue lesions (as confirmed by histology) in the diabetic mice than EKE did. In diabetic mice receiving treatment, kidney microalbunminuria (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione (GSH) were all decreased, while activity of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were increased. Both EKE and GEKE can improve diabetes and kidney disease by improving hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and kidney physiological indicators and regulating the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 and AMPK/mTOR pathways. However, in both pathways, GEKE is more effective. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of GEKE and EKE treatment on antioxidant defense and metabolic capacity of diabetic animals. Germination provides a suitable strategy to improve the medicinal value of these natural plant-based products.

Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis reveal the effect of mechanical stress on sugar metabolism in tea leaves ( Camellia sinensis) post-harvest. PeerJ 2023; 11:e14869.

Abstract
Sugar metabolites not only act as the key compounds in tea plant response to stress but are also critical for tea quality formation during the post-harvest processing of tea leaves. However, the mechanisms by which sugar metabolites in post-harvest tea leaves respond to mechanical stress are unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of mechanical stress on saccharide metabolites and related post-harvest tea genes. Withered (C15) and mechanically-stressed (V15) for 15 min Oolong tea leaves were used for metabolome and transcriptome sequencing analyses. We identified a total of 19 sugar metabolites, most of which increased in C15 and V15. A total of 69 genes related to sugar metabolism were identified using transcriptome analysis, most of which were down-regulated in C15 and V15. To further understand the relationship between the down-regulated genes and sugar metabolites, we analyzed the sucrose and starch, galactose, and glycolysis metabolic pathways, and found that several key genes of invertase (INV), α-amylase (AMY), β-amylase (BMY), aldose 1-epimerase (AEP), and α-galactosidase (AGAL) were down-regulated. This inhibited the hydrolysis of sugars and might have contributed to the enrichment of galactose and D-mannose in V15. Additionally, galactinol synthase (Gols), raffinose synthase (RS), hexokinase (HXK), 6-phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK-1), and pyruvate kinase (PK) genes were significantly upregulated in V15, promoting the accumulation of D-fructose-6-phosphate (D-Fru-6P), D-glucose-6-phosphate (D-glu-6P), and D-glucose. Transcriptome and metabolome association analysis showed that the glycolysis pathway was enhanced and the hydrolysis rate of sugars related to hemicellulose synthesis slowed in response to mechanical stress. In this study, we explored the role of sugar in the response of post-harvest tea leaves to mechanical stress by analyzing differences in the expression of sugar metabolites and related genes. Our results improve the understanding of post-harvest tea's resistance to mechanical stress and the associated mechanism of sugar metabolism. The resulting treatment may be used to control the quality of Oolong tea.

Rasera GB, de Camargo AC, de Castro RJS. Bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds using the standardized INFOGEST protocol: A narrative review. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:260-286.

Abstract
The INFOGEST protocol creation was a watershed for phenolic bioaccessibility studies. Because of this important initiative to standardize bioaccessibility studies, data comparisons between different laboratories are now expedited. It has been eight years since the INFOGEST protocol creation, and three from the latest update. However, the current status in terms of phenolic bioaccessibility and how far different laboratories are from reaching a consensus are still unrevealed. In this sense, this narrative review considered an evaluation of different studies that applied the INFOGEST protocol to investigate the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds. The central objective was to compile the main findings and consensus and to identify possible gaps and future opportunities. This approach intends to further facilitate the use of this protocol by professionals in the field of food science and technology and related areas, generating a reflection on the actual level of standardization of the method. Despite the differences in phenolic compounds from diverse food matrices, and their peculiar behavior, some trends could be elucidated, in terms of phenolic release, stability, and/or transformation upon in vivo digestion. In contrast, there was no general consensus regarding sample preparation, how to report results and the form to calculate bioaccessibility, making it difficult to compare different studies. There is still a long road to effectively standardize the results obtained for phenolic bioaccessibility using the INFOGEST protocol, which is also an opportunity in terms of food analysis that can impact the food industry, especially for the development of nutraceuticals and functional foods.

Abstract
Chinese wild rice (Zizania latifolia) is rich in flavonoids and the characteristic colour of its pericarp is attributed to the flavonoids. In this study, the molecular basis of the colour change in the pericarp of Chinese wild rice was studied using metabolomics and proteomics. Whole seeds in three developmental stages (10, 20, and 30 days after flowering) were characterised based on phenolic contents, free amino acids (FAAs), and the expression level and activities of enzymes critical in flavonoid biosynthesis. The total phenolic and proanthocyanidin contents of Chinese wild rice increased gradually, whereas total flavonoid and FAA contents decreased during seed development. Metabolomic analysis revealed gradual upward trends for 57 flavonoids (sub classes 1, 3, and 10) related to colour change in the pericarp. Proteomic analysis showed that the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis metabolic pathway was enriched with differentially expressed proteins and was associated with flavonoid biosynthesis. Proteomic data suggested that leucoanthocyanidin reductase and WD40 repeat protein may be involved in flavonoid biosynthesis in Chinese wild rice, which was also verified by real-time quantitative PCR. Our results provide new insights into the understanding of the colour formation in the pericarp of Chinese wild rice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a destructive disease that endangers pine trees, resulting in the wilting, with yellowing and browning of the needles, and eventually the death of the trees. Previous studies showed that the Avr9/Cf-9 rapidly elicited (PmACRE1) gene was downregulated by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus infection, suggesting a correlation between PmACRE1 expression and pine tolerance. Here, we used the expression of PmACRE1 in Arabidopsis thaliana to evaluate the role of PmACRE1 in the regulation of host defence against B. xylophilus infection. RESULTS Our results showed that the transformation of PmACRE1 into A. thaliana enhanced plant resistance to the pine wood nematode (PWN); that is, the leaves of the transgenic line remained healthy for a longer period than those of the blank vector group. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity and total phenolic acid and total flavonoid contents were higher in the transgenic line than in the control line. Widely targeted metabolomics analysis of the global secondary metabolites in the transgenic line and the vector control line showed that the contents of 30 compounds were significantly different between these two lines; specifically, the levels of crotaline, neohesperidin, nobiletin, vestitol, and 11 other compounds were significantly increased in the transgenic line. The studies also showed that the ACRE1 protein interacted with serine hydroxymethyltransferase, catalase domain-containing protein, myrosinase, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, ketol-acid reductoisomerase, geranylgeranyl diphosphate reductase, S-adenosylmethionine synthase, glutamine synthetase, and others to comprehensively regulate plant resistance. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these results indicate that PmACRE1 has a potential role in the regulation of plant defence against PWNs.

Abstract
Anthocyanidin reductase (ANR) is an important regulator of flavonoid metabolism, and proanthocyanidins, the secondary metabolites of flavonoids, play an important role in the response of plants to pathogenic stress. Therefore, in this study, the expression analysis of the ANR gene family of Gossypium barbadense after inoculation with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (FOV) was performed at different time points. It was found that Gb_ANR-47 showed significant differences in the disease-resistant cultivar 06-146 and the susceptible cultivar Xinhai 14, as well as in the highest root expression. It was found that the expression of Gb_ANR-47 in the resistant cultivar was significantly higher than that in the susceptible cultivar by MeJA and SA, and different amounts of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and salicylic acid (SA) response elements were found in the promoter region of Gb_ANR-47. After silencing GbANR-47 in 06-146 material by VIGS technology, its resistance to FOV decreased significantly. The disease severity index (DSI) was significantly increased, and the anthocyanin content was significantly decreased in silenced plants, compared to controls. Our findings suggest that GbANR-47 is a positive regulator of FOV resistance in Gossypium barbadense. The research results provide an important theoretical basis for in-depth analysis of the molecular mechanism of GbANR-47 and improving the anti-FOV of Gossypium barbadense.

Abstract
Bioactive compounds, such as phenolic compounds, are phytochemicals found in significant amounts in cereals and pseudocereals and are usually evaluated by spectrophotometric (UV-VIS), HPLC, and LC-MS techniques. However, their bioavailability in grains is quite limited. This restriction on bioavailability and bioaccessibility occurs because they are in conjugated polymeric forms. Additionally, they can be linked through chemical esterification and etherification to macro components. Techniques such as thermoplastic extrusion, germination, fermentation, and hydrolysis have been widely studied to release phenolic compounds in favor of their bioavailability and bioaccessibility, minimizing the loss of these thermosensitive components during processing. The increased availability of phenolic compounds increases the antioxidant capacity and favor their documented health promoting.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by the flaccidity of bones or bone bi-disease caused by kidney deficiency. Lindera aggregate has been used to strengthen kidney function in China for thousands of years. It has been approved by Chinese Pharmacopoeia that the root of Lindera aggregata (RLA) can replenish and tonify the kidney, which is thought to be an effective way to alleviate OP. In this study, a network pharmacology approach was applied to explore the active components and potential mechanisms of RLA in osteoporosis treatment. Then, the ethanolic extract of the root of L. aggregata (EERL) was prepared and these predicted results were validated by prednisone-induced zebrafish embryos model. Moreover, the candidate compounds were identified by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. The anti-OP results showed that EERL could significantly reverse the bone loss of zebrafish induced by prednisone. The mRNA expressions results showed that EERL decreased osteoclast bone resorption by regulating the RANK/RANKL/OPG system. Also, it increased bone formation by regulating the gene expressions of spp1, mmp2, mmp9, runx2b, alp, and entpd5a. Our results demonstrated the reliability of the network pharmacology method, and also revealed the anti-OP effect and potential mechanism of RLA.

Abstract
In order to further develop and utilize the rutin from Sophora japonica, the contents of total phenolic acids and flavonoids in rutin extracts from different parts of Sophora flavescens were determined, and their antioxidant activities were compared, and the basis of antioxidative activity of Sophora flavescens nanometers was discussed. The experiment found that the total flavonoid content of each extract of Huai Mi was in the range of 5.70-61.55 mg/g, the total phenolic acid content was in the range of 4.07-19.10 mg/g, and the total flavonoid and phenolic acid content of the ethyl acetate extract was significantly higher than other extracts. Its reducing power, light free radicals, DPPH, ABTS+, and scavenging rate are also significantly higher than n-butanol, petroleum ether, and aqueous extracts. ∗ The cleaning ability IC50 values of DPPH· are (0.321 ± 0.0026), (0.213 ± 0.0010), and (0.169 ± 0.0014) mg/mL. The effective components of Sophora japonica are initially separated after the solvent extraction of each phase. The relative content and nanoantioxidant activity of total flavonoids and phenolic acids in the ethyl acetate phase extraction part were significantly stronger than those in the total extract and other extraction parts, and the antioxidant capacity was effectively related to the dose. The flavonoids and phenolic acids in Sophora japonica are closely related to its antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flavonoids have strong free radical scavenging and antioxidant capacity. The high abundance of flavonoids in Chinese prickly ash peels have many benefits to human health. In this study, 'Hancheng Dahongpao', a main cultivar, was taken as materials to investigate the flavonoids biosynthesis mechanism of Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim at three key development stages by integration of metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis. RESULTS A total of 19 differentially accumulated metabolites were identified, the key flavonoids compounds were kaempferol, quercetin and their glycoside derivatives, and two major anthocyanins (peonidin O-hexoside and peonidin 3-O-glucoside). 5 gene networks/modules including 15 important candidate genes were identified, which was highly correlated with flavonoids. Among these genes, ZM-163828 and ZM-184209 were strongly correlated with kaempferol and quercetin, and ZM-125833 and ZM-97481 were controlled the anthocyanins biosynthesis. Moreover, it was shown that MYB-ZM1, MYB-ZM3, MYB-ZM5, MYB-ZM6 and MYB-ZM7 coordinately controlled flavonoids accumulation through regulating the structural genes. CONCLUSIONS Generally, this study systematically revealed the flavonoids metabolic pathways and candidate genes involved in flavonoids biosynthesis and laid a foundation for the potential targets for the breeding of new valuable Chinese prickly ash cultivars.

Abstract
Melatonin (MT) delayed water bamboo shoot lignification and hardness. MT treatment decreased the lignin biosynthesis through reducing enzyme activity. MT treatment inhibited the expression of lignin biosynthesis related genes.
Melatonin, a crucial bioactive molecule, involved in several physiological processes in plants. This study investigated the effects of melatonin (MT) treatment on lignification, including firmness, lignin, lignified-enzyme activities, the expression patterns of genes encoding corresponding enzymes and transcription factors in water bamboo shoot during storage for 8 days. MT treatment decreased the firmness and content of lignin. It inhibited the degradation of total phenols and ascorbic acid and delayed the lignin biosynthesis, via reducing the activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyse cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase and peroxidase, as well as lignin biosynthesis-related genes expression levels. Transcription factors of ZlNAC1, ZlNAC2, ZlNAC3 and ZlNAC4 from NAC family and ZlMYB1 and ZlMYB2 from MYB family were increased in water bamboo shoot after harvest and MT-treated markedly reduced their expression. Therefore, our findings supply a fundamental understanding of MT treatment suppression of lignification and establish a foundation for further research on transcriptional regulation.

Abstract
Tartary buckwheat has higher health-promoting value than common buckwheat. However, the related metabolites information except flavonoids is largely deficient. Here, we compared the seed metabolomes of the two species using a UHPLC-QqQ-MS-based metabolomics approach. In total, 722 metabolites were obtained, of which 84 and 78 were identified as the key active ingredients of Traditional Chinese Medicines and the active pharmaceutical ingredients for six major diseases-resistance, respectively. Comparative analysis showed there were obviously difference in metabolic profiles between the two buckwheat species, and further found 61 flavonoids and 94 non-flavonoids metabolites displayed significantly higher contents (≥2 fold) in Tartary buckwheat than in common buckwheat. Our results suggest that Tartary and common buckwheat seeds are rich in metabolites beneficial to human health, and non-flavonoids metabolites also contributed to Tartary buckwheat's higher health-promoting value than common buckwheat. This study provides valuable information for the development of new functional foods of Tartary buckwheat.

The Role of Epigenetic Modifications in Human Cancers and the Use of Natural Compounds as Epidrugs: Mechanistic Pathways and Pharmacodynamic Actions. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12030367.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease resulting from the genetic and epigenetic disruption of normal cells. The mechanistic understanding of the pathways involved in tumor transformation has implicated a priori predominance of epigenetic perturbations and a posteriori genetic instability. In this work, we aimed to explain the mechanistic involvement of epigenetic pathways in the cancer process, as well as the abilities of natural bioactive compounds isolated from medicinal plants (flavonoids, phenolic acids, stilbenes, and ketones) to specifically target the epigenome of tumor cells. The molecular events leading to transformation, angiogenesis, and dissemination are often complex, stochastic, and take turns. On the other hand, the decisive advances in genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics have allowed, in recent years, for the mechanistic decryption of the molecular pathways of the cancerization process. This could explain the possibility of specifically targeting this or that mechanism leading to cancerization. With the plasticity and flexibility of epigenetic modifications, some studies have started the pharmacological screening of natural substances against different epigenetic pathways (DNA methylation, histone acetylation, histone methylation, and chromatin remodeling) to restore the cellular memory lost during tumor transformation. These substances can inhibit DNMTs, modify chromatin remodeling, and adjust histone modifications in favor of pre-established cell identity by the differentiation program. Epidrugs are molecules that target the epigenome program and can therefore restore cell memory in cancerous diseases. Natural products isolated from medicinal plants such as flavonoids and phenolic acids have shown their ability to exhibit several actions on epigenetic modifiers, such as the inhibition of DNMT, HMT, and HAT. The mechanisms of these substances are specific and pleiotropic and can sometimes be stochastic, and their use as anticancer epidrugs is currently a remarkable avenue in the fight against human cancers.

Abstract
Docynia delavayi (Franch.) Schneid is a plant used both as food and traditional folk medicine. The leaves of D. delavayi are rich in polyphenols, plants with phenolic content are known to be extremely beneficial in terms of human nutrition. In the present study, we used metabolome technology (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) to examine the young and mature D. delavayi leaves on metabolites changes, which were then analyzed and compared. As a result, 477 metabolites (including 111 flavonoids, 47 others (consisted of nine vitamin, 18 saccharides and alcohols, and 20 unassigned metabolites), 71 phenolic acids, 52 amino acids and derivatives, 18 alkaloids, 61 lipids, 24 terpenoids, 33 nucleotides and derivatives, 18 lignans and coumarins, 12 tannins, 30 organic acids) were identified, of which 281 differentially accumulated metabolites, including 146 up-regulated metabolites and 135 down-regulated metabolites. The result of clustering and PCA analyses showed that young and mature leaves were separated, which indicated that there was a great difference in metabolites between young and mature leaves. Meanwhile, we also found that both young and mature leaves displayed unique metabolites with important biological functions. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that 90 of the differential metabolites were mainly concentrated in 68 KEGG pathways. The result will greatly complement the existing knowledge on the D. delavayi leaves for lays a foundation for subsequent development and utilization.

Abstract
Rhubarb plants (Rheum officinale and R. tanguticum) have edible stalks. In this work, we aimed to compare the nutritional properties, chemical compositions, and bioactivities of R. officinale (SRO) and R. tanguticum (SRT) stalks and to analyze the composition–function relationship. Results showed that the two stalks were good sources of fiber, as well as minerals. They contained abundant essential amino acids and essential fatty acids to regulate the immunity and prevent some chronic diseases; the contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids were 2,244.32 mg/100 g and 2,844.69 mg/100 g, respectively. The antioxidant activity were also proved. Metabolomics showed that SRO and SRT contained abundant phenolic acids. Due to the higher concentrations of flavones, SRT has better antiinflammatory activities than SRO by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway. Rhubarb stalks exhibited good safety in acute toxicity and cytotoxicity tests. This work indicated that the two stalks have nutritional value, safety, and bioactivities, and could be used as sources of nutritional ingredients for regulating the immunity of body in food industry.

Abstract
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) with a history of 5000 years as food is extremely rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds, including γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a natural four-carbon non-protein amino acid with great benefits to human health. In quinoa, GABA generally increases with the germination time, but the underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. Here, we found that the GABA content in quinoa varied significantly among 25 varieties using an automatic amino acid analyzer. Next, six varieties (three low-GABA and three high-GABA varieties) were used for further analyses. The content of GABA in six varieties all showed an increasing trend after germination. In addition, Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the changes in GABA content were closely related to the transcript level or enzyme activity of three key enzymes including glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), GABA transaminase (GABA-T), and succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) in the GABA shunt, especially GAD. Based on RNA-sequencing analysis, eight GAD genes, two GABA-T genes, one SSADH gene, nine polyamine oxidase (PAO) genes, five diamine oxidase (DAO) genes, four 4-aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) genes, and three thermospermine synthase ACAULIS5 (ACL5) genes were identified. Among these, CqGAD8 and CqGABA-T2 may make a greater contribution to GABA accumulation during quinoa germination.

Metabolite-Flavor Profile, Phenolic Content, and Antioxidant Activity Changes in Sacha Inchi ( Plukenetia volubilis L.) Seeds during Germination. Foods 2021; 10:foods10102476. [PMID: 34681525 PMCID: PMC8535363 DOI: 10.3390/foods10102476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Sacha inchi seeds are abundant in nutrients such as linolenic acids and amino acids. Germination can further enhance their nutritional and medicinal value; however, germination time is positively correlated with off-flavor in germinated seeds. This study investigated the changes in the metabolite and flavor profiles and evaluated the nutritional quality of sacha inchi seeds 8 days after germination (DAG). We also determined their phenolic content and antioxidant activity. We used gas chromatography equipped with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and identified 63 metabolites, including 18 fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). FAMEs had the highest concentration in ungerminated seeds, especially palmitic, stearic, linoleic, linolenic, and oleic acids. Amino acids, total phenolic compounds (TPCs), and antioxidant activity associated with health benefits increased with germination time. At the final germination stage, oxidation products were observed, which are associated with green, beany, and grassy odors and rancid and off-flavors. Germination is a valuable processing step to enhance the nutritional quality of sacha inchi seeds. These 6DAG or 8DAG seeds may be an alternative source of high-value-added compounds used in plant-protein-based products and isolated protein.

Abstract
Food industries produce a high amount of waste every year. These wastes represent a source of bioactive compounds to be used to produce cosmetic and nutraceutical products. In this study, the possibility to retrain food waste as a potential source of bioactive metabolites is evaluated. In particular, metabolite profiles of different parts (bulb, leaves, stems and little stems) of fennel waste were investigated by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/LTQ Orbitrap MS). To discriminate the different plant parts, a Multivariate Data Analysis approach was developed. Metabolomic analysis allowed the identification of different metabolites mainly belonging to hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, flavonoid glycosides, flavonoid aglycons, phenolic acids, iridoid derivatives and lignans. The identification of compounds was based on retention times, accurate mass measurements, MS/MS data, exploration on specific metabolites database and comparison with data reported in the literature for F. vulgare. Moreover, the presence of different oxylipins was relieved; these metabolites for the first time were identified in fennel. Most of the metabolites identified in F. vulgare possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and/or immunomodulatory properties. Considering that polyphenols are described to possess antioxidant activity, spectrophotometric tests were performed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of each part of the fennel.

Abstract
Excessive application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is common in Chinese apple production. High N reduced the contents of soluble sugar and total flavonoids by 16.05 and 19.01%, respectively, resulting in poor fruit quality. Moreover, high N increased the total N and decreased the total C and C/N ratio of apple fruits. On the basis of the transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses, the global network was revealed. High N inhibited the accumulation of carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose, and trehalose) and flavonoids (rhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside, rutin, and trihydroxyisoflavone-7-O-galactoside) in fruits, and more C skeletons were used to synthesize amino acids and their derivatives (especially low C/N ratio, e.g., arginine) to be transferred to N metabolism. This study revealed new insights into the decline in soluble sugar and flavonoids caused by high N, and hub genes (MD07G1172700, MD05G1222800, MD16G1227200, MD01G1174400, and MD02G1207200) and hub proteins (PFK, gapN, and HK) were obtained.

Abstract
Non-volatile metabolites significantly influence the color, taste, and aromatic qualities of green tea. However, the evolutionary trajectories of non-volatile metabolites, and their transformational relationship with volatile metabolites during processing, remain unclear. In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry were used to analyze a widely targeted metabolome during green tea processing. In total, 527 non-volatile metabolites, covering 11 subclasses, were identified, along with 184 volatile metabolites, covering 8 subclasses. Significant variations in metabolites were observed during processing, especially in the fixation stage, and the conversion intensity of non-volatile metabolites was consistent with the law of "Fixation > Drying > Rolling." A total of 153 non-volatile metabolites were screened out, and amino acids and esters were found to be closely associated with volatile metabolite formation. The results of the present study provide a theoretical basis that could guide green tea processing based on desired quality and components.

Viscozyme L hydrolysis and Lactobacillus fermentation increase the phenolic compound content and antioxidant properties of aqueous solutions of quinoa pretreated by steaming with α-amylase. J Food Sci 2021; 86:1726-1736. [PMID: 33844283 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.15680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Revised: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
In this work, red quinoa was successively subjected to α-amylase steaming, complex enzyme Viscozyme (R) L hydrolysis, and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation. The total phenolic compound content (TPC), flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant capacities of the solvent-extractable (free) and bound fractions and the individual phenolic compounds released were determined. Compared to steaming with α-amylase, enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation of quinoa resulted in approximately 82.6, 26.9, 36.3, and 45.2% increases in the TPC (the sum of free and bound fractions), TFC, DPPH, and ORAC values, respectively. HPLC-QqQ-MS/MS analysis showed that enzymolysis and fermentation increased the content of protocatechuic acid, catechin, procyanidin B2 , and quercetin by 126.3, 101.9, 524, and 296.3%, respectively. Moreover, a major proportion of individual phenolic compounds existed as bound form. The results indicated that complex enzymatic hydrolysis and LAB fermentation were practical and useful to release promising polyphenols. This research provides a basis for the processing of quinoa beverages rich in phenolic compounds. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this work, liquefying with α-amylase, hydrolyzing with cellulolytic enzyme mixture, and fermenting with Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), successively, were exploited to process quinoa. This is an innovative method of quinoa processing to produce beverage products. Complex enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation with LAB can significantly enhance phenolic compound, especially protocatechuic acid, catechin, procyanidin B2 , and quercetin. In additional, LAB fermentation is very beneficial to improve the antioxidant activity of quinoa. We also found that a major proportion of phenolic compounds existed as bound forms in quinoa.

Abstract
The bulbs of several Lilium species are considered to be both functional foods and traditional medicine in northern and eastern Asia. Considering the limited information regarding the specific bioactive compounds contributing to the functional properties of these bulbs, we compared the secondary metabolites of ten Lilium bulb samples belonging to five different species, using an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS)-based secondary metabolomics approach. In total, 245 secondary metabolites were detected; further, more metabolites were detected from purple Lilium bulbs (217 compounds) than from white bulbs (123–171 compounds). Similar metabolite profiles were detected in samples within the same species irrespective of where they were collected. By combining herbal analysis and screening differential metabolites, steroid saponins were considered the key bioactive compounds in medicinal lilies. Of the 14 saponins detected, none were accumulated in the bulbs of L. davidii var. willmottiae, also called sweet lily. The purple bulbs of L. regale accumulated more secondary metabolites, and, notably, more phenolic acid compounds and flavonoids. Overall, this study elucidates the differential metabolites in lily bulbs with varying functions and colors and provides a reference for further research on functional foods and the medicinal efficacy of Lilium species.

Abstract
The contents of phenolic compounds, especially flavonoids, and antioxidant activity of rice (Oryza sativa, Os) and Chinese wild rice (Zizania latifolia, Zl) harvested in China were compared. Zl possessed significantly higher contents of total phenolics, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins and exhibited higher antioxidant activity than in the Os Xian group, the Os Geng group, and red rice. The flavonoid contents of Os and Zl were compared using a UHPLC-QqQ-MS-based metabolomics approach. A total of 159 flavonoids were identified, among which 78 showed differential expression (72 up-regulated and six down-regulated in the Zl group). The Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes annotation and classification indicated that the differentially expressed flavonoids were mainly related to anthocyanin biosynthesis. Moreover, candidate genes for flavonoid biosynthesis in Os and Zl were identified in this study. Compared with non-pigmented and red rice, Zl may be more nutritious and is thus considered a better source of natural antioxidants.

Abstract
Nowadays, it may be noticed that there is an increased interest in using germinated seeds in the daily diet. This high interest is due to the fact that in a germinated form, the seeds are highly improved from a nutritional point of view with multiple benefits for the human body. The purpose of this review was to update the studies made on the possibilities of using different types of germinated legume seeds (such as lentil, chickpea, soybean, lupin, bean) in order to obtain bakery products of good quality. This review highlights the aspects related to the germination process of the seeds, the benefits of the germination process on the seeds from a nutritional point of view, and the effects of the addition of flour from germinated seeds on the rheological properties of the wheat flour dough, but also on the physico–chemical and sensory characteristics of the bakery products obtained. All these changes on the bread making process and bread quality depend on the level and type of legume seed subjected to the germination process which are incorporated in wheat flour.

Abstract
This study presents innovative research for comparison of the effect of the different dehydration techniques and methods of extraction on the antioxidant potential and bioactive compounds of Conilon and Arabica coffee flowers. The compounds were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography and the antioxidant capacity evaluated by the 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and nitric oxide assays. Among the compounds evaluated, trigonelline, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, and caffeine were identified, with trigonelline and caffeine being those with the highest concentration. The investigated factors significantly influenced the profile of the bioactive compounds identified, and the antioxidant capacity. The 92 °C infusion of freeze-dried Conilon coffee flowers, in general, showed greater antioxidant capacity by ABTS and DPPH assays, as well as total phenolic content. Lyophilization had a positive influence on maintaining the content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of the samples. Coffee flowers proved to be a potential raw material for making tea-like drinks.

Abstract
The antioxidant system (AOS) maintains the optimal concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a cell and protects it against oxidative stress. In plants, the AOS consists of seven main classes of antioxidant enzymes, low-molecular antioxidants (e.g., ascorbate, glutathione, and their oxidized forms) and thioredoxin/glutaredoxin systems which can serve as reducing agents for antioxidant enzymes. The number of genes encoding AOS enzymes varies between classes, and same class enzymes encoded by different gene copies may have different subcellular localizations, functional loads and modes of evolution. These facts hereafter reinforce the complex nature of AOS regulation and functioning. Further studies can describe new trends in the behavior and functioning of systems components, and provide new fundamental knowledge about systems regulation. The system is revealed to have a lot of interactions and interplay pathways between its components at the subcellular level (antioxidants, enzymes, ROS level, and hormonal and transcriptional regulation). These facts should be taken into account in further studies during the AOS modeling by describing the main pathways of generating and utilizing ROS, as well as the associated signaling processes and regulation of the system on cellular and organelle levels, which is a complicated and ambitious task. Another objective for studying the phenomenon of the AOS is related to the influence of cell dynamics and circadian rhythms on it. Therefore, the AOS requires an integrated and multi-level approach to study. We focused this review on the existing scientific background and experimental data used for the systems biology research of the plant AOS.

Abstract
Knowledge on the specific variation in the phenolic composition of wheat defined by germination conditions and its relationship with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of sprouts would be useful to improve the functional value of wheat-derived products. Variation in soluble phenolic composition, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of wheat was examined in a range of germination temperature (12-21 °C) and time (1-7 d). Response surface methodology was applied for building lineal and quadratic models to find optimal germination conditions to improve nutraceutical value of wheat sprouts using the desirability (D) function. Phenolics were determined by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS. In vitro biochemical methods and lipopolysaccharide stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages were used to determine antiradical and anti-inflammatory activities of wheat sprouts. Accumulation of soluble phenolic acids, flavone C-glycosides and lignans in sprouts was positively influenced by germination temperature and time. Increased concentration of individual polyphenols was directly associated with improved ability of sprouts for radical scavenging and reduction of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6 in macrophages. Optimal desirability (D = 0.89) for improved nutraceutical value of wheat sprouts was achieved at 21 °C for 7 d. This information would be useful for food industry aiming at producing wheat-based products with better nutritional and healthy properties.
