BIOACCESSIBILITY AND BIOACTIVE POTENTIAL OF DIFFERENT PHYTOCHEMICAL CLASSES FROM NUTRACEUTICALS AND FUNCTIONAL FOODS

Bioaccessibility and bioactive potential of different phytochemical classes from nutraceuticals and functional foods

Nutraceuticals and functional foods are composed of especially complex matrices, with polyphenols, carotenoids, minerals, and vitamins, among Signage others, being the main classes of phytochemicals involved in their bioactivities.Despite their wide use, further investigations are needed to certify the proper release of these phytochemicals into th

Lipophilic tetramethylpiperidine N-oxyl (TEMPO) as a phase-transfer redox mediator in thin films for anion and cation sensing

This study successfully demonstrates the use of a lipophilic derivative of TEMPO, 1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl stearate, as a redox mediator for ion transfer processes at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions.The results prove that TEMPO exhibits outstanding performance for mediating anion and cation transfer across
