Bhargava, Prerna (2019-04-15). Pecans are a rich source of ellagitannins which are not absorbed by humans, rather they are catabolized into urolithins by human gut microbiota and enterohepatic circulation. Urolithin A and B have been studied for their ...
-
Heredia, Jose Basilio (2009-05-15)The use of postharvest abiotic stresses, wounding and plant hormones, can enhance the nutraceutical content of fresh produce. Wounding increased the phenolic content (TP) of carrots, lettuce, jicama, red onions, white ...
-
Fedenia, Lauren N (2021-04-16)Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a major cereal crop grown for feed, silage, and human consumption. Specialty grain-types are typically red, yellow, or white and this coloration is associated with specific polyphenol ...
-
Guajardo Flores, Sara (2009-05-15)To evaluate the anticancer potential of sorghum phenolic compounds, different experiments including in vitro and in vivo tests were performed. A set of 25 sorghum samples was evaluated for phenolic (total phenols, flavonoids, ...
