Phytochemicals and Bioactivities of Australian Native Lemon Myrtle ( Backhousia citriodora ) and Lemon-Scented Tea Tree ( Leptospermum petersonii ): A Comprehensive Review
2022 Oct 12 Food Reviews International Saifullah MD, McCullum R, Vuong QV
The review highlights the influence of growing conditions and weather on the sensory and bioactive properties of these herbs, emphasizing the importance of cost-effective processing and preparation while maintaining maximum sensory attributes and phytochemicals with the highest bioactivities. The retention of polyphenols, antioxidant properties, and essential oil in these herbs is significantly influenced by drying approaches, conditions, and pre-treatments. The review covers aspects such as pre-treatment or processing, extraction parameters, extraction methods, bioactivities, isolation, and preparation or encapsulation. It also discusses the limitations in existing research and suggests directions for future research, including the need for identification, isolation, and purification of individual bioactive compounds using sophisticated approaches.

Iron Absorption: Factors, Limitations, and Improvement Methods
2022 Jun 10 ACS Omega Piskin E, Cianciosi D, Gulec S, Tomas M, Capanoglu E
In this context, the importance of studies to increase iron bioavailability is indisputable. Encapsulation, emulsification, chelation, and fortification play an important role in increasing the bioavailability and absorption rate of iron. Commercial iron supplements are available for humans suffering from IDA or wishing to get iron as a supplement. However, because of the free iron-dependent radical generation, some of the commercial iron supplements may produce adverse effects in the gut lumen and mucosal area of the intestine.

Potential Therapeutic Targets of Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), the Most Abundant Catechin in Green Tea, and Its Role in the Therapy of Various Types of Cancer
2020 Jul 09 Molecules Almatroodi SA, Almatroudi A, Khan AA, Alhumaydhi FA, Alsahli MA, Rahmani AH
EGCG has been proven to possess a chemopreventive effect by inhibiting the carcinogenesis process (initiation, promotion, and progression) and managing cancer through modulating various cell signaling pathways, including regulation of proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and killing of cancer cells; its additive or synergistic effects with other chemopreventive agents enhance anti-cancerous effects and reduce toxicities; despite its effectiveness and safety, the poor bioavailability of EGCG is discussed, and nanotechnology-based strategies such as encapsulation, liposome, micelles, and nanoparticles are explored to overcome this limitation.

Review Article Bioactive Compounds Extraction Saffron
The methodology applied in this research involved the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the bioactive components within the saffron plant, with particular focus on apocarotenoids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. Advanced extraction techniques were employed for increased yield and purity, notably supercritical fluid extraction, microwave assisted extraction, pulsed electric field, and high hydrostatic pressure extraction. These methods lead to a broad range of bioactives predomniantly from the plant's stigma.
The findings indicated that all parts of the saffron plant were rich in bioactive compounds. The extracted bioactive compounds presented increased stability, bioavailability, and target delivery when examined via several encapsulation techniques. Beyond this, the extraction has allowed for investigation into the food and pharmaceutical applications of these bioactive components from the saffron plant. However, the utilization of these bioactive components, specifically from saffron floral biomass like petals and corm parts, using techniques such as supercritical fluid extraction, pulsed electric field, and emulsion liquid membrane extraction has not been thoroughly investigated.
