RESUMEN
This study examined the effects of replacing alkaline phosphate (AP) with bamboo fiber (BF), isolated pea protein (PP), and mushroom powder (MP) on the nutritional, technological, oxidative, and sensory characteristics of low-sodium mortadellas. Results indicated that this reformulation maintained the nutritional quality of the products. Natural substitutes were more effective than AP in reducing water and fat exudation. This led to decreased texture profile analysis (TPA) values such as hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness. The reformulation reduced the L* values and increased the b* values, leading to color modifications rated from noticeable to appreciable according to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) index. Despite minor changes in oxidative stability indicated by increased values in TBARS (from 0.19 to 0.33 mg MDA/kg), carbonyls (from 2.1 to 4.4 nmol carbonyl/mg protein), and the volatile compound profile, the sensory profile revealed a beneficial increase in salty taste, especially due to the inclusion of MP, which was enhanced by the synergy with BF and PP. In summary, the results confirmed the potential of natural alternatives to replace chemical additives in meat products. Incorporating natural antioxidants into future formulations could address the minor oxidation issues observed and enhance the applicability of this reformulation strategy.

The packaging system is one of the factors influencing the preservation of the nutritional value, microbiological safety, and sensory attributes of meat. The study investigated changes in physicochemical and microbiological properties taking place during 15-day refrigerated storage of two calf muscles, the longissimus lumborum (LL) and semitendinosus (ST), packaged in three systems, respectively, vacuum packing (VP), modified atmosphere packaging (MAP, 80% O2 + 20% CO2), and a combined system (VP + MAP, 8 d in VP followed by 7 d in MAP). LL and ST stored in VP had significantly lower levels of lipid oxidation, higher α-tocopherol content, and higher instrumentally measured tenderness in comparison with the samples stored in MAP. On the other hand, the MAP samples had lower purge loss at 5 and 15 days, a higher proportion of oxymyoglobin up to 10 days of storage, and a better microbiological status. Calf muscle samples stored in the VP + MAP system had intermediate values for TBARS and α-tocopherol content and at the same time were the most tender and had the lowest counts of Pseudomonas and Enterobacteriaceae bacteria at 15 days. All packaging systems ensured relatively good quality of veal characteristics up to the last day of storage. However, for MAP at 15 days of storage, unfavourable changes in colour (a high level of metmyoglobin and a decrease in oxymyoglobin, redness and R630/580 ratio) and in the lipid fraction (a high TBARS value and a significant decrease in α-tocopherol content) were observed.

The effect of varying proportions (w/w) of natural aromatic extract of black tea (NAEBT) with pre-emulsification on the water-holding capacity (WHC) of pork meat batter was investigated. The addition of NAEBT significantly reduced the cooking loss (CL) of pork meat batter from 23.95 % to 18.30 % (P < 0.05). Furthermore, NAEBT with pre-emulsification significantly improved the color stability and increased the springiness (P < 0.05). The results of TBARS and carbonyls indicated that NAEBT with pre-emulsification significantly alleviated oxidative damage to proteins (P < 0.05), resulting in an increased level of ß-sheet (P < 0.05), as confirmed by FT-IR analysis. As a result, the water mobility of pork meat batter was restricted (P < 0.05), resulting in an increase in the energy storage modulus (P < 0.05) and a decrease in the pore size. In summary, the WHC of pork meat batter was improved by the antioxidant effect of the NAEBT.

Protein and lipid are two major components that undergo significant changes during processing of aquatic products. This study focused on the protein oxidation, protein conformational states, lipid oxidation and lipid molecule profiling of salted large yellow croaker during storage, and their correlations were investigated. The degree of oxidation of protein and lipid was time-dependent, leading to an increase in carbonyl content and surface hydrophobicity, a decrease in sulfhydryl groups, and an increase in conjugated diene, peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value. Oxidation caused protein structure denaturation and aggregation during storage. Lipid composition and content changed dynamically, with polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PC) was preferentially oxidized compared to polyunsaturated triacylglycerol. Correlation analysis showed that the degradation of polyunsaturated key differential lipids (PC 18:2_20:5, PC 16:0_22:6, PC 16:0_20:5, etc.) was closely related to the oxidation of protein and lipid. The changes in protein conformation and the peroxidation of polyunsaturated lipids mutually promote each other's oxidation process.

In this study, the inhibitory effects of homemade hawthorn vinegar-based marinade on the formation of Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML) and Nε-(carboxyethyl) lysine (CEL) during the cooking of beef tenderloins investigated. Additionally, the goal was to determine the bioactive compounds present in hawthorn vinegar that could contribute to these effects, both quantitatively and qualitatively. For this purpose, hawthorn vinegar was first produced from hawthorn fruit and characterized. Then, beef tenderloins were marinated at two different concentrations (25% and 50%) and three different marination times (2, 6 and 24 h) and cooked in a airfryer at 200 °C for 12 min. After the cooking process, analyses were conducted for CML, CEL, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), sensory and color. Hawthorn vinegar was found to have high phytochemical and bioactivity properties. It was found that hawthorn vinegar significantly altered the color properties (L*, a*, and b*) of raw beef tenderloin samples (P < 0.05). The marinating process did not adversely affect the sensory properties of the beef tenderloin, other than odour, and even improved its texture and appearance. Increasing the marination concentration and time significantly inhibited CML and CEL formation (P < 0.05), marinating the meat for 24 h reduced CML formation from 13.75 µg/g to 2.5 µg/g, while CEL formation decreased from 17.58 µg/g to 16.63 µg/g. Although CEL was inhibited at low levels during marination, it remained stable. In conclusion, this study showed that hawthorn vinegar contains bioactive compounds that significantly inhibit the formation of CML and stabilize the formation of CEL.

This study aimed to investigate the changes in flavor quality of roasted duck during repetitive freeze-thawing (FT, -20 â for 24 h, then at 4 â for 24 h for five cycles) of raw duck preforms. HS-SPME/GC-MS analysis showed that more than thirty volatile flavor compounds identified in roasted ducks fluctuated with freeze-thawing of raw duck preforms, while hexanal, nonanal, 1-octen-3-ol, and acetone could as potential flavor markers. Compared with the unfrozen raw duck preforms (FT-0), repetitive freeze-thawing increased the protein/lipid oxidation and cross-linking of raw duck preforms by maintaining the higher carbonyl contents (1.40 â¼ 3.30 nmol/mg), 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (0.25 â¼ 0.51 mg/kg), schiff bases and disulfide bond (19.65 â¼ 30.65 µmol/g), but lower total sulfhydryl (73.37 â¼ 88.94 µmol/g) and tryptophan fluorescence intensity. Moreover, A lower protein band intensity and a transformation from α-helixes to ß-sheets and random coils were observed in FT-3 â¼ FT-5. The obtained results indicated that multiple freeze-thawing (more than two cycles) of raw duck preforms could be detrimental to the flavor quality of the roasted duck due to excessive oxidation and degradation.

Two groups of ten barrows received a conventional- (CTRL) or an experimental- (HZL) finishing diet containing 11% of hazelnut skin. From each barrow, two types of salami (namely, NITR, and PHEN) were obtained. NITR salami was added with E250 and E252. The latter were replaced by a phenolic concentrated extract from olive-milling wastewaters in PHEN salami. Salami fatty acids (FA), antioxidant capacity, lipid and color stability during refrigerated storage were assessed. A consumer test was also performed. Feeding strategy minimally affected the investigated parameters. PHEN salami had lower TBARS than NITR salami (P-value <0.001) during refrigerated storage despite comparable antioxidant capacity and similar PUFA content. Moreover, within CTRL group, lipid oxidation was lower in PHEN than NITR salami (P-value = 0.040). At the blind taste, dietary treatment did not affect salami sensorial properties nor consumer acceptance, whereas NITR salami showed better color (P-value = 0.036). Interestingly, HZL and PHEN salami showed improved sensorial properties and consumer acceptance after that consumers received information on salami origin.

In this study, we aimed to uncover the potential underlying mechanisms of the flavor modulation of Chinese bacon by Staphylococcus. To that end, taste-enhancing S. cohnii WX-M8 and S. saprophyticus MY-A10 screened from Chinese bacon were used to investigate the effects of their individual and mixed fermentations and their synergistic fermentation with Lactobacillus plantarum BL-1 on the sensorial attributes, physicochemical properties, microbial diversity, and volatile compounds (VOCs) of Chinese bacon. Our results revealed that S. cohnii WX-M8 and S. saprophyticus MY-A10 significantly increased a* (redness) and Aw and reduced thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) when fermented in a mixture. Moreover, they promoted the formation of esters, aldehydes (especially straight-chain aldehydes), and phenolic compounds through pathways related to amino acid metabolism, enhancing sensorial attributes. While synergistic fermentation with L. plantarum BL-1 resulted in an improved a* (redness) of Chinese bacon, and the increased microbial metabolism of the carbohydrate and lipid metabolic pathways, the increase in TBARS and the higher content of acidic volatiles, led to a change in the composition of the flavor substances. The advantage of co-fermentation of Staphylococci in sensory attributes can be attributed to their capability to metabolize amino acids and associates. These findings provide insights into the role of Staphylococcus as a starter in regulating bacon flavor.

BACKGROUND: Minimizing food oxidation remains a challenge in several environments. The addition of rosemary extract (150 mg kg-1) and lyophilized parsley (7.1 g kg-1) at equivalent antioxidant activity (5550 µg Trolox equivalents kg-1) to meat patties was assessed in terms of their effect during microwave cooking and after being subjected to an in vitro digestion process. RESULTS: Regardless of the use of antioxidants, cooking caused a decrease of the fat content as compared to raw samples, without noticing statistical differences in the fatty acid distribution between raw and cooked samples [44%, 47% and 6.8%, of saturated fatty acid (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), respectively]. However, the bioaccessible lipid fraction obtained after digestion was less saturated (around 34% SFA) and more unsaturated (35% MUFA +30% PUFA). Cooking caused, in all types of samples, an increased lipid [thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)] and protein (carbonyls) oxidation values. The increase of TBARS during in vitro digestion was around 7 mg malondialdehyde (MDA) kg-1 for control and samples with parsley and 4.8 mg MDA kg-1 with rosemary. The addition of parsley, and particularly of rosemary, significantly increased the antioxidant activity (DPPH) of cooked and digested microwaved meat patties. CONCLUSION: Whereas rosemary was effective in minimizing protein oxidation during cooking and digestion as compared to control samples, parsley could only limit it during digestion. Lipid oxidation was only limited by rosemary during in vitro digestion. © 2024 The Authors.

BACKGROUND: Indoor pollutants have been associated with worse clinical outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Elevated biomarkers are associated with ambient pollution exposure, however the association with indoor pollution remains unclear. METHODS: Former smokers with spirometry-confirmed COPD were randomized to portable air cleaner or placebo. Indoor particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10, and ultrafine particles [UFP; PM<0.1]) and biomarkers were measured longitudinally at pre-specified intervals and course PM fraction (PM10-2.5) was calculated. Biomarkers were categorized based on associations with biologic mechanisms: inflammation (white blood cell count, interleukin [IL]-6, IL-8, IL-1ß, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, serum amyloid A), platelet activation (P-selectin, CD40 ligand [CD40L], 11-dehdydro-thromboxane-B2 [11dTxB2]), endothelial dysfunction (Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule [VCAM]-1, Intercellular Adhesion Molecule [ICAM]-1), and oxidative stress (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances [TBARS], 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, 8-isoprostane). Associations between PM concentrations and each biomarker were analyzed using multivariable linear mixed models. An intention-to-treat analysis was performed to evaluate the air cleaner intervention on the biomarker levels longitudinally. RESULTS: Fifty-eight participants were randomized to each group. Finer PM was more strongly associated with higher IL-8 (mean difference per doubling: UFP 13.9% [p = 0.02], PM2.5 6.8% [p = 0.002], PM10-2.5 5.0% [p = 0.02]) while interferon-γ was associated with UFP and IL-1ß with PM10-2.5. UFP and PM2.5 were associated with elevated levels of the oxidative stress biomarkers TBARS and 8-isoprostane respectively. For platelet activation markers, UFP was associated with higher 11dTxB2 while PM2.5 was associated with higher P-selectin and CD40L. Pollutants were not associated with biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction. In intention-to-treat analysis there was no association of the air cleaner intervention with any of the biomarkers. DISCUSSION: Among former smokers with COPD, elevated levels of indoor air pollutants, particularly ultrafine particles (PM<0.1), were associated with elevated biomarkers of inflammation, platelet activation, and oxidative stress. However, an air cleaner intervention that reduced PM did not significantly reduce biomarker levels.

The influence of different concentrations of NaCl (2.5% and 1.75%), basic electrolyzed water (BEW), and ultrasound (US, 25 kHz, 159 W) on the quality of fresh sausages was studied. During storage at 5 °C, TBARS, pH, Eh, aw, nitrous pigments, and bacterial evolution were evaluated at three specific time intervals: 1d, 15d, and 30d. At the same time, the volatile compounds and sensory profile were specifically assessed on both the 1d and 30d. Notably, sausages with 1.75% NaCl and BEW displayed higher pH values (up to 6.30) and nitrous pigment formation, alongside reduced Eh (as low as 40.55 mV) and TBARS values (ranging from 0.016 to 0.134 mg MDA/kg sample), compared to the 2.5% NaCl variants. Protein content ranged between 13.01% and 13.75%, while lipid content was between 18.23% and 18.86%, consistent across all treatments. Psychrotrophic lactic bacteria showed a significant increase in low-NaCl sausages, ranging from 5.77 to 7.59 log CFU/g, indicative of potential preservative benefits. The sensory analysis favored the TUSBEW70 treatment for its salty flavor on the 30th day, reflecting a positive sensory acceptance. The study highlights that employing US and BEW in sausage preparation with reduced NaCl content (1.75%) maintains quality comparable to higher salt (2.5%) counterparts. These findings are crucial for meat processing, presenting a viable approach to producing healthier sausages with reduced sodium content without compromising quality, aligning with consumer health preferences and industry standards.

This study presents a sustainable and cost-effective method for preserving the bioactivity of phenolic compounds in olive leaves (OLE) during their application. The extraction and nanoencapsulation of OLE were performed in a single-step process using a rotor-stator system with zein as the encapsulating agent. The nanoprecipitation step was carried out using an aqueous sodium caseinate solution, resulting in spherical particles with an average diameter of about 640 nm, as confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy. Thermal characterization showed that the produced nanoparticles were more thermally stable than free OLE until 250 °C, and FTIR spectra indicated effective interaction between the phenolic compounds and zein. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using TBARS, DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays, with results showing that encapsulated OLE had lower antioxidant activity than free OLE. The best antioxidant capacity results were determined by TBARS assay, with IC50 results equal to 43 and 103 µgOLE/mL for free and encapsulated OLE, respectively. No anti-inflammatory potential was detected for both samples using the RAW 264.7 model, and only free OLE showed cytotoxic activity against lung cancer and gastric carcinoma. Encapsulated and free OLE were used as antioxidants in soy, palm, and palm kernel oils and compared to BHT using Rancimat. The Schaal Oven Test was also performed, and the PARAFAC chemometric method analyzed the UV-Vis spectra, which revealed high stability of the oil when 300 mg or the nanoparticles were added per kg oil. Results suggested that zein-encapsulated olive leaf antioxidants can improve the oxidative stability of edible oils.

The present study verified the presence of phytoconstituents and evaluated antioxidant (DPPH, FRAP, NO and TBARS tests) and antiglycation (REM test) activities of unconventional wild edible fruits Chrysophyllum cainito, Hancornia speciosa and Plinia glomerata. It was verified the presence of phenolic compounds for all fruits and flavonoids were observed only for C. cainito, which presented in its peel the highest total phenols (90.34 µg GAE mg-1) and flavonoids (30.4 µg RE mg-1) content. Sugar concentration was significant for all fruits, where H. speciosa showed the highest reducing sugar content (576.12 mg g-1) and C. cainito pulp showed the highest total sugar content (858.67 mg g-1). All fruits presented vitamin C and carotenoids, highlighting P. glomerata with the best results for ascorbic acid (2260.94 mg 100 g-1) and carotenoids (59.62 µg g-1). Extracts presented antioxidant activity, highlighting C. cainito peel that presented 65.64% (DPPH), 231.34 µM TE L-1 (FRAP), 49.34% (NO) and 22.56% (TBARS), while in antiglycation evaluation, P. glomerata showed evident activity. Therefore, it was possible to determine different phytoconstituents, and antioxidant and antiglycation activities of the fruits. These data provide subsidies for application of these fruits in new studies, to increase knowledge and preservation of these species.

This study investigated the effect of a 50% reduction in sodium nitrite and the addition of nisin (200 mg/kg) and different concentrations (0, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%) of jabuticaba peel extract (JPE) on the main attributes affected by this chemical additive in Bologna-type sausages. The modified treatments showed approximately 50% lower residual nitrite than the control throughout the storage (60 days at 4 °C). The proposed reformulation did not affect the color (L*, a*, and b*), and the ΔE values (< 2) demonstrated high color stability during storage. Physicochemical (TBARS and volatile compounds) and sensory analyses performed to evaluate oxidative stability indicated that JPE exhibited antioxidant activity comparable to sodium nitrite. The microbiological quality of the reformulated products was similar to the control, but further studies should be conducted to assess the effect of this reformulation strategy on the growth of pathogenic microorganisms impacted by nitrite.

The impacts of freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles and cooking on the basic composition, protein and lipid oxidation, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) of chicken breasts were studied. During F-T cycles, the moisture and protein contents of raw and cooked chicken breasts decreased, and protein and lipid oxidation occurred, increasing carbonyl and TBARS contents. Meanwhile, the contents of methylglyoxal, glyoxal, and hydroxymethylfurfural in raw meat increased by 2.27, 2.27, and 5 times, respectively, whereas glyoxal and hydroxymethylfurfural contents increased by 2.73 and 3 times, respectively, after cooking as F-T cycles increased. The formation of carboxymethyl lysine, pentosidine, and fluorescent AGEs in cooked samples was confirmed using an ELISA kit and fluorescent intensity. The study also revealed that AGEs contents of chicken meat were negatively correlated with moisture contents and positively correlated with carbonyl and TBARS levels. Therefore, F-T cycles and subsequent cooking promoted AGEs formation in cooked meat.

This study examined the protective role of short-term aerobic exercise on ZnO NPs-induced cardiac oxidative stress and possible changes of apelin, angiotensin II (AngII) and angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R) signalling pathway. Thirty-five male Wistar rats were randomized into five groups of seven rats, including control, saline, ZnO NPs, exercise and exercise + ZnO NPs groups. The animal in ZnO NPs and exercise + ZnO NPs groups received 1 mg/kg of ZnO NPs. Rats underwent the treadmill exercise program. Treatments lasted four weeks, 5 days/week. After 4 weeks of treatment, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), apelin, Ang II and AT1R concentration were measured in heart tissue.Cardiac MDA, Ang II and AT1R levels significantly increased while SOD activity and apelin levels significantly decreased following ZnO NPs administration. The aerobic exercise induced a significant increase in the SOD activity and apelin levels and a significant decrease in the enhanced MDA, Ang II and AT1R levels in the heart of ZnO NPs-exposed rats. These results suggest that the exercise-induced attenuation of the Ang II-AT1R signalling pathway is mediated by reduced lipid peroxidation, augmented antioxidant defence and enhanced apelin synthesis that may be a protective mechanism to prevent and/or treatment ZnO NPs-induced cardiac oxidative stress.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in development of a diverse range of foods that are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids. It is widely recognized that through dietary interventions, the lipid fraction of food can be modified to enhance its nutritional content. This study is aimed to develop chicken patties enriched with poly unstaurated fatty acids (PUFAs) extracted from microalgae aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) concentration of 0% (T0), 1% (T1), 2% (T2), and 3% (T3). All treatments were stored at -18 °C for one month and analysed at an interval of 0, 10, 20, and 30 days to assess the effect of PUFAs supplementation on physicochemical, oxidative, microbiological and organoleptic properties of chicken patties. The results revealed that moisture content was significantly increased during the storage; the maximum moisture was observed in T0 (67.25% ± 0.03) on day 0, while the minimun was found in T3 (64.69% ± 0.04) on day 30. Supplemenatation of PUFAs in chicken patties significantly enhanced the fat content of the product the highest fat content was observed for T3 (9.7% ± 0.06. An increase in PUFAs concentration led to a significant increase in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). TBARS were increased from 1.22 ± 0.43 at 0 days to 1.48 ± 0.39 at 30 days of storage. The PUFAs incorporation negatively effected sensory acceptance of the product ranging from (8.41 ± 0.17 to 7.28 ± 0.12). However, the sensory scores were in acceptable range for supplemented patties as compared to control sample. Treatment T3 depicted the highest nutritional content. The sensory and physiochemical analysis of supplemented patties suggested that PUFAs extracted from microalgae can be used as a functional ingredient in the preparation various meat products particularly chicken meta patties. However, antioxidants should be added to to prevent lipid oxidation in the product.

Athletes often consume functional beverages in order to improve performance and reduce oxidative stress caused by high-intensity exercise. The present study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of a functional sports beverage formulation. The beverage's antioxidant effects were assessed on human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by determining thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS; TBARS levels decreased significantly by 52.67% at 2.0 mg/mL), total antioxidant capacity (TAC; TAC levels increased significantly by 80.82% at 2.0 mg/mL) and reduced glutathione (GSH; GSH levels increased significantly by 24.13% at 2.0 mg/mL) levels. Furthermore, the beverage underwent simulated digestion following the INFOGEST protocol to assess its oxidative stability. The analysis of the total phenolic content (TPC) using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay revealed that the beverage contained a TPC of 7.58 ± 0.066 mg GAE/mL, while the phenolics identified by HPLC were catechin (2.149 mg/mL), epicatechin (0.024 mg/mL), protocatechuic acid (0.012 mg/mL), luteolin 7-glucoside (0.001 mg/mL), and kaempferol-3-O-ß-rutinoside (0.001 mg/mL). The beverage's TPC was strongly correlated with TAC (R2 = 896). Moreover, the beverage showcased inhibitory and bacteriostatic effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Lastly, the sensory acceptance test demonstrated that the functional sports beverage was well accepted by the assessors.

Tocopherols are natural bioactive compounds with several health benefits. This study evaluated the effect of different ratios of α- and δ- tocopherol homologs to protect sunflower oil (SO) and olive pomace oil (OPO) against oxidation. A synergistic effect was recorded when the two tocopherols were combined at a ratio of 7:1 (α-T/δ-T). The oil samples were exposed to accelerated oxidation conditions using a Rancimat (90 °C and airflow of 15 L/h for 24 h) and protection from tocopherols was compared with that from butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Assessment of oil stability was examined using well-known parameters such as peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), p-anisidine value (p-AV), conjugated dienes (CD) and trienes (CT), and total oxidation (Totox) value, which were all significantly reduced when tocopherols were added at a ratio of 7:1 α-T/δ-T. Primary oxidative compounds measured according to PV were only reduced in SO samples (6.11%). Off-flavor compounds measured via TBARS assay in SO samples were reduced by above 20%, while p-AV was also reduced. CDvalue was correlated with PV in SO samples, while the 7:1 mixture was more effective than BHT for CTvalue. Total oxidation values in SO samples and OPO samples were reduced by 6.02% and 12.62%, respectively. These values in SO samples also provided a remarkable correlation (R2 > 0.95) with incubation time. Moreover, the synergistic effect was not only effective in reducing the oxidation values of oil samples, but also in lowering the degradation rate of tocopherols. Protective effects from tocopherols were mainly observed in SO samples, as OPO samples were more resistant to oxidation processes. This effect was even observed in fatty acid analysis, where the 7:1 mixture provided better results than BHT-spiked samples. Thus, it is suggested that tocopherol mixtures might be used as a natural preservative in the food industry to restrain lipid oxidation processes.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Slow, deep breathing (SDB) lowers blood pressure (BP) though the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Redox improvements could facilitate hemodynamic adjustments with SDB though this has not been investigated. The purpose of this randomized, sham-controlled trial was to examine the acute effects of SDB on oxidative stress and endothelial function during a physiological perturbation (high-fat meal) known to induce oxidative stress. METHODS AND RESULTS: Seventeen males (ages 18-35 years) were enrolled, and anthropometric measurements and 7-day physical activity monitoring were completed. Testing sessions consisted of 24-h diet recalls (ASA24), blood sample collection for superoxide dismutase (SOD) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) analysis, and flow-mediated dilation (FMD). High-fat meals were ingested and 2-min breathing exercises (SDB or sham control breathing) were completed every 15 min during the 4-h postprandial phase. Blood sample collection and FMD were repeated 1-, 2-, and 4-h post meal consumption. Mean body mass index and step counts were 25.6 ± 4.3 kg/m2 and 8165 ± 4405 steps per day, respectively. Systolic and diastolic BP and nutrient intake 24 h prior were similar between conditions. No time or time by condition interaction effects were observed for FMD. The total area under the curve (AUC) for SOD was significantly lower during SDB compared to the sham breathing condition (p < 0.01). No differences were observed in TBARS AUC (p = 0.538). CONCLUSIONS: Findings from the current investigation suggest that SDB alters postprandial redox in the absence of changes in endothelial function in young, healthy males.
