Mango (Mangifera foetida) is a tropical fruit native of South Asia. It is a food constituent of a number of desserts (smoothies, ice cream, fruit bars, sweet chili sauce, and many others) or as a component in fresh fruit combinations. In addition to many healthy vitamins, oligoelements, and other health-beneficial compounds, it carries some proteinaceous allergens with symptoms... [Pg.143]

When extracting chondroitin sulfate from salmon head cartilage, collagen inevitably accompanies it. In this extraction process, from a pharmaceutical point of view, collagen is considered as an impurity. This is a kind of contradiction because if we administrate chondroitin sulfate and collagen simultaneously, the result will be beneficial and effective. Most marine bioresources contain many health beneficial compounds even in the same tissues. For this reason, we should design sequential extraction processes of those useful compounds from the most value added to the poorly valued compounds. For example, the first step for pharmaceutical use should be the mild extraction of compounds. And the final step should extract materials for fertilizers. [Pg.426]

Paul Gross s straightforward and well-documented book provides strong direction and clear-cut answers for consumers, based on well-reasoned research and compelling evidence. His use of... superfruits criteria and a points system for rating health-beneficial fruits is a welcome answer to consumers seeking the best choices for themselves and their families. ... [Pg.230]

The occurrence in the olive pomace of unique oleuropein oligomers (14) with a degree of polymerization of up to five oleuropein monomers was reported by Cardoso et al. [27]. Their bioactivities have, however, not yet been studied. In fact, besides the evidence that olive phenolic compounds can have antioxidant, cardioprotective, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and chemo-preventive properties [26], the majority of the studies have focused on hydroxytyrosol (15). This compound has revealed remarkable pharmacological and antioxidant activities and thus has been further studied for its bioavaUability and metabolism in humans in order to establish its health-beneficial effects [29-31]. [Pg.134]

Most flaxseed destined for human consumption is sold in health food stores or in capsule form as a dietary supplement. The volume of organically grown flax is increasing to meet the demands of the typical health food consumer. The edible use of linseed and its oil containing health beneficial components is expected to rise in the future. [Pg.320]

The proanthocyanidins are widely distributed in nature and often represent the active compounds of medicinal plants or plants showing human health beneficial effects. Reports of several in vitro assays demonstrate potentially significant antiviral, antibacterial, molluscicidal, enzyme-inhibiting, antioxidant, and radical-scavenging properties. " Their potential to interact with biological systems rests, at least in part, on the ability to form complexes with other biomolecules, thus emphasizing the necessity to accurately define... [Pg.653]

Unlike the primary metabolites, secondary metabolites have been viewed in the past as the waste products from mistakes of the primary metabolism because they are not involved in respiration, growth/development, and photosynthesis of plants. Now, it is known through much investigation that these compounds play important roles in the interaction of the cell (organism) with its enviromnent, ensuring the survival of the organism in its ecosystem [15-17], In addition, it has been found that many secondary metabolites may have various health-beneficial properties, such as antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities. [Pg.250]

High-performance health beneficial emulsifier (i.e., the DHA-bound lysophos-pholipid) can be prepared from squid meal phospholipid because squid meal phospholipid contains DHA exclusively in position sn-2 (Hosokawa 1996). For this reason, if we eliminate the fatty acid moiety in the sn-1 position by applying position 1,3-specific lipase, or phospholipase Aj, we can obtain the sn-2 DHA-bound lyso-phospholipid. As a substrate for the desired reaction, squid meal phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the most useful so far. [Pg.280]

Other than the health benefits discussed, the DHA-LPC should have many other health beneficial effects on humans that have to be exploited. [Pg.288]

Several years ago, I wrote a short article for the Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences entitled "Not for us, but for our descendants". It was based on a quotation by the American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson who said "We did not inherit the Earth from our forefathers we are borrowing it from our descendants". The article posed the question of what we could say to our grandchildren when they ask why, in the late 20 Century and at the beginning of the 21 Century, we, the scientists, did not do more to demonstrate the potential of the forests, the great plains, and the oceans to provide health beneficient agents for humankind when the human, fiscal and biological resources were available. [Pg.1188]

From the above review it becomes obvious that polyphenols, major micronutrients of almost any plant food and beverage, have, in addition to their antioxidant action, major implications on a number of basic cell mechanisms. These actions involve almost the whole spectrum of cellular basic machinery—from the cell membrane to signaling C3doplasmic molecules and to the major nuclear components—and provide insights into their health-beneficial effects. In addition, their actions justify the scientific interest in this class of compounds, and provide clues about their possible pharmaceutical exploitation in the field of oncology. [Pg.102]

In many countries, sea lettuces are commonly consumed as food by human since the beginning of times. Sea lettuces contain significant amount of nutrients which are essential for human body. Moreover, several studies have provided insight into biological activities and health promoting effects of sea lettuces. Despite having so much health beneficial effects, sea lettuces are still identified as an underexploited plant resources for food purposes. Hence, sea lettuces have a great potential for further development as products in foods and pharmaceutical areas. Further, potential applications of polysaccharides, protein and amino acid, lipid and fatty... [Pg.57]
