This study investigated the in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion (GID) effects on wild and micropropagated Apennines Genepì infusions. Wild and micropropagated infusions were compared for their antioxidant activity, phenolic contents, and polyphenolic profiles before and after GID. Before digestion, the wild infusions had higher amounts of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity than the micropropagated ones. Instead, after digestion, the differences in the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity between wild and micropropagated infusions were less pronounced. The changes in the TPC and phenolic profiles revealed the presence of several chemical transformations and rearrangements that resulted in compounds with different reactivity and antioxidant potential. Without enzyme actions, the wild infusion digest undergoes higher modifications than those obtained from the micropropagated ones. The current study offers the first concrete proof of the impact of GID on the polyphenolic chemicals present in infusions of wild and micropropagated Apennines Genepì and their antioxidant properties. Our findings are essential for future in-depth analyses of Apennine Genepì infusions and their potential impacts on human health.
本研究调查了体外模拟胃肠道消化(GID)对野生和微繁亚平宁山脉龙胆草浸液的影响。比较了野生和微繁浸液在GID前后的抗氧化活性、酚类含量和多酚谱。消化前,野生浸液中的酚类化合物含量和抗氧化活性高于微繁浸液。相反,消化后,野生和微繁浸液之间的总酚含量(TPC)和抗氧化活性差异不那么明显。TPC和酚类谱的变化揭示了几种化学转化和重排的存在,这些转化和重排产生了具有不同反应性和抗氧化潜力的化合物。在没有酶作用的情况下,野生浸液消化物比微繁浸液消化物经历更高程度的修饰。本研究首次具体证明了GID对野生和微繁亚平宁山脉龙胆草浸液中存在的多酚类化学物质及其抗氧化特性的影响。我们的研究结果对于未来深入分析亚平宁山脉龙胆草浸液及其对人类健康的潜在影响至关重要。
