  • integrated analytical methods to characterize lipids from Prosopis spp and ceratonia siliqua seed germ flour
    Food Analytical Methods, 2018
    Co-Authors: Francesco Siano, Leonardo Pablo Sciammaro, Maria Grazia Volpe, Gianfranco Mamone, Maria Cecilia Puppo, Gianluca Picariello
    Abstract:

    Flour from seed germ of European carob (Ceratonia siliqua) and South American algarrobo (Prosopis spp.) is a potential ingredient for health-promoting baked products. Herein, lipids from germ of three Argentinean Prosopis (P. alba, P. nigra, and P. ruscifolia) and one European carob species were characterized in detail, exploiting an array of up-to-date analytical techniques. Total lipids ranged from 7.1 to 8.1% (w/w). Linoleic acid (C18:2, ω-6) predominated the GC flame ionization detector profiles of fatty acid in all samples (43.3–50.6%). Prosopis spp. contained 6–7% of C20–C24 fatty acids and, consistently, C56–C60 triacylglycerols, as detected by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS), which were practically missing in C. siliqua germ. Phospholipids were isolated by hydroxyapatite chromatography, characterized by MALDI-TOF MS and grossly quantified by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. Because of a relatively high content (9.5–11.8%, v/v), phospholipids might increase the antioxidant potential and improve the baking performances of flour fortified with carob and algarrobo seed germ.

  • comparative analysis of c glycosidic flavonoids from Prosopis spp and ceratonia siliqua seed germ flour
    Food Research International, 2017
    Co-Authors: Gianluca Picariello, Francesco Siano, Leonardo Pablo Sciammaro, Maria Grazia Volpe, Maria Cecilia Puppo, Gianfranco Mamone
    Abstract:

    Abstract Seed germ of South American algarrobo ( Prosopis species) and European carob ( Ceratonia siliqua ) contains nutritionally interesting proteins, lipids and phenolics. Using reversed phase-HPLC-diode array detector and nanoflow-HPLC coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), we comparatively characterized and semi-quantified flavonoids from germ of three Argentinean algarrobo ( Prosopis alba , Prosopis nigra and Prosopis ruscifolia ) and one European carob species. The patterns of glycosylated flavonoids were very similar each other, confirming the taxonomic parentage of the species and supporting their functional similarity on a molecular basis, in view of the use of seed germ flour (SGF) for food applications. The predominant phenolic compounds were apigenin 6,8- C -di-glycoside isomers, namely isoschaftoside and schaftoside, accounting for 3.22–5.18 and 0.41–0.72 mg/g SGF, respectively. C. siliqua germ contained relatively high amounts of further glycosilated derivatives of (iso)schaftoside, which occurred at a lower abundance in Prosopis . Apigenin 6,8- C -di-glycosides have been described as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors, suggesting that food preparations obtained with Prosopis spp. and C. siliqua SGF might contribute to modulate the digestion of carbohydrates in humans. Chemical compounds Isoschaftoside (PubChem CID: 13644661); Schaftoside (PubChem CID: 442658); Vicenin-2 (PubChem CID: 442664); Isovitexin (PubChem CID: 162350).

    Abstract:

    TesisPiuraEscuela Profesional de EstomatologíaEnfermedades Infecciosas y TransmisiblesLa presente investigación fue de carácter experimental y corte transversal de estímulo creciente con post prueba únicamente y grupo control, se evaluó el efecto antibacteriano in vitro de los extractos hidroetanólicos de Prosopis pallida (algarrobo), Ruta graveolens (ruda), Plantago major (llantén) sobre el Streptococcus mutans ATCC 35668. Para esto se utilizaron diez concentraciones del extracto (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 μg /ml) y un control positivo de gluconato de clorhexidina al 0.12% (PerioAid). La evaluación del efecto antibacteriano se realizó a través del método de difusión en discos, el cual consiste en sembrar en superficie estéril de placa Petri con agar Muller Hilton con hisopo también estéril, el inóculo bacteriano de Streptococcus mutans, en seguida se colocaron los discos embebidos con cada concentración de extractos, así como también incluyendo el control positivo. Las placas fueron incubadas a 37°C durante 24 horas, realizando los ensayos con 6 repeticiones. Los resultados obtenidos indicaron que el extracto de Prosopis Pallida en las diferentes concentraciones genera halos de inhibición de mayor diámetro que el control positivo siendo este de 18 mm, el extracto de Ruta Graveolens en concentración de 600 μg/ml posee un halo de inhibición del mismo diámetro del control positivo y en concentración de 1000 μg/ml posee un halo de 20 mm, mientras que el extracto de Plantago major en concentración de 900 μg/ml posee un halo de 18 mm y en concentración de 1000 μg/ml un halo de 22 mm. Se concluye que el extracto etanólico de Prosopis pallida en todas las concentraciones analizadas tiene efecto antibacteriano sobre Streptococcus mutans, el extracto de Ruta graveolens tiene efecto antibacteriano en concentraciones de 600 μg/ml, 700 μg/ml, 800 μg/ml, 900 μg/ml y 1000 μg/ml, y el extracto de Plantago major tiene efecto antibacteriano en concentraciones de 900 μg/ml y 1000 μg/ml. Existiendo en el caso de Prosopis pallida diferencia significativa con el grupo control
