    Journal of Food Measurement and Characterization, 2026
    Affinin, the main bioactive compound of Heliopsis longipes root, is an alkamide known for its multiple pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and analgesic. Accurate quantification of affinin in extracts and commercial products is essential to ensure their quality and efficacy. In this study, a simple, robust, and accessible UV-Vis spectrophotometric method was developed and validated for the quantification of affinin in H. longipes ethanolic extracts and five marketed formulations in Mexico, and its performance was benchmarked against the gold-standard HPLC method. A linear calibration curve was established over 0.5 to 10 µg/mL, and the method was validated by evaluating linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, and limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ). The maximum absorbance of affinin was determined at 230 nm in ethanol. Linearity was confirmed over the range of 0.5–10 µg/mL, with a correlation coefficient (R²) of 0.998. Precision, evaluated as intra- and inter-day reproducibility, showed relative standard deviations below 2%. Method accuracy was confirmed by standard addition experiments, with recovery values ranging from 98 to 102%. Specificity was supported by the absence of significant spectral interference in the UV spectra of the extract compared to the affinin standard, with an absorbance of 0.6795 ± 0.0026. The method also demonstrated adequate sensitivity, with LOD and LOQ of 0.298 µg/mL and 0.903 µg/mL, respectively. Affinin quantification in commercial formulations revealed variability in content, highlighting the need for rigorous quality control to ensure consistency among products. In conclusion, the validated UV–Vis method provides a rapid, cost-effective, and reliable tool for the quality control and standardization of H. longipes extracts and commercial products. Moreover, its use of ethanol as a bio-based solvent, low solvent consumption, and minimal waste generation align with green analytical chemistry principles, supporting more sustainable and accessible quality-control practices in the growing herbal product market.

    Sara Avilés-Gaxiola, Israel García-Aguiar, Luis Alfonso Jiménez-Ortega, Erick Paul Gutiérrez-Grijalva, José Basilio Heredia
    Molecules, 2025
    Different cultures worldwide have attributed particular healing abilities to various plants for a long time. After decades of studies, research has demonstrated that their bioactivity is associated mainly with the presence of natural products, including short protein fragments known as peptides. These molecules may occur naturally in plants or be generated from plant protein through enzyme hydrolysis. In recent years, a growing body of evidence has linked plant-derived peptides to diverse biological activities, underscoring the importance of their structural and physicochemical features in determining functionality. Compared with peptides of animal or microbial origin, plant peptides stand out for their high abundance in sustainable sources, low allergenic potential, and distinctive structural traits- such as enrichment in hydrophobic and aromatic residues- that influence their stability, mechanisms of action, and biological functions. This review compiles and analyzes current literature to provide insights into how amino acid composition, secondary structure, net charge, and hydrophobicity influence peptide bioactivity. In addition, the review highlights the mechanisms of action most frequently described for plant peptides. Finally, the article discusses the current landscape and prospects of peptide-based drugs.

    High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide This study presents a green and efficient method for solubilizing hydrophobic bioactive flavonoids using natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDES), emphasizing the use of the complete NaDES–flavonoid systems for enhanced functionality. Among the investigated NaDES, betaine:glycerol (1:2 molar ratio) with 20 wt % water achieved the highest solubility for quercetin (3.36 mg/mL), rutin (5.95 mg/mL), naringenin (5.82 mg/mL), and naringin (13.32 mg/mL). NaDES-containing flavonoids were structurally characterized using 1 H NMR and FTIR spectroscopies and thermally analyzed by DSC, revealing a high thermal stability. The NaDES–quercetin system exhibited not only the highest antioxidant activity but also cooperative and significant antibacterial effects against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, achieving 91.3% and 94.8% reduction, respectively. Both the neat NaDES and the flavonoid-containing systems were noncytotoxic to 3T3-L1 fibroblasts and HaCaT keratinocytes at concentrations up to 100 μg/mL. NADES-containing flavonoids inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in a time- and dose-dependent manner, while the NADES–quercetin system promoted wound healing in fibroblasts in vitro at lower concentrations. The complete NaDES–flavonoid systems, exemplified by hydrated betaine-glycerol NaDES with quercetin solubility increased by 23,850-fold compared to water, exhibit markedly enhanced bioactivities and hold significant promise for sustainable pharmaceutical applications, based on AGREE and AGREEprep scores.
  • Dynamics of the Dissipation of Acetamiprid, Azoxystrobin, and β-Cyfluthrin in Jalapeño Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Produced Under Greenhouse and Open-Field Conditions
    Luis Alfonso Jiménez-Ortega, Jaime Villa-Bojórquez, Pedro de Jesús Bastidas-Bastidas, Rosalba Contreras-Martínez, José Armando Carrillo-Fasio, Manuel Alonzo Báez-Sañudo
    Foods, 2025
    Pepper is one of the most widely consumed foods around the world. China is the leading producer, while Mexico is the primary exporter. To support these roles, the responsible use of agrochemicals is essential. Additionally, investigating the factors influencing pesticide dissipation is critical to ensure that residue levels do not exceed established Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and to achieve the required pre-harvest interval (PHI). This is essential to prevent trade-related issues and mitigate potential health risks to consumers. Consequently, this study aims to evaluate the dissipation dynamics of acetamiprid, azoxystrobin, and β-cyfluthrin residues in jalapeño peppers cultivated under both greenhouse and open-field conditions. Three applications of a manufacturer’s suggested dosage were evaluated, with 7-day intervals between each. The residual content was quantified after 1 h and 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days following each application. A QuEChERS method utilizing ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography equipped with a micro electron capture detector (GC-µECD) to determine the pesticide residues was optimized and validated, obtaining suitable performance, with satisfactory linearity, detection and quantification limits, recovery rates, and accuracy. The dissipation curves were constructed from the residues and dissipation percentages of the pesticides over time, elucidating the initial residuality, accumulation, half-life, residence time, and total persistence of the active ingredient. In addition, an analysis was carried out, relating climatic conditions to the cumulative dissipation of pesticides. The results show an increase in the initial residues, half-life, and residence time of pesticides in the greenhouse. Otherwise, in the open field, the residues of the pesticides acetamiprid and azoxystrobin increased over the initial applications. Climatic conditions, mainly evapotranspiration during crop growing, involve the dissipation of pesticides in jalapeño pepper. The validation method demonstrated satisfactory parameters, aligning with the guidelines provided by the US EPA and SENASICA. All concentrations quantified in real samples were found to be below the MRLs, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Additionally, the dissipation kinetics played a critical role in elucidating key aspects such as residence times, latency periods, and marketing timelines for ensuring food safety. This kinetics provided essential insights into the behavior and persistence of the residues, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of their dynamics in agricultural and commercial contexts. We believe these findings underscore the reliability and applicability of the method for monitoring pesticide residues in real-world scenarios.

    Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, 2025
    Medicinal herbs and herbal formulations have garnered increasing attention in skincare and anti-aging due to their versatility, safety, and potential effectiveness. Korean medicinal herbs and herbal formulations have a rich history in traditional Asian medicine, and they are increasingly gaining recognition as anti-aging and skincare treatments. Korean herbal medicine, known as Hanbang, draws from various natural ingredients, like ginseng, green tea, and licorice, to create herbal formulations passed down for centuries. These formulations are recognized for their potential to promote healthy, youthful skin. Ingredients such as ginseng and green tea possess antioxidant properties that combat free radicals and reduce oxidative stress on the skin, preventing premature aging. Korean skincare treatments often incorporate these herbal formulations, emphasizing natural ingredients and techniques such as herbal masks, teas, and acupuncture to enhance skin vitality and combat aging signs. Understanding the role of major bioactive compounds in Korean herbal medicine is essential for bridging traditional practices with modern dermatological science. Because of the increasing global demand for natural, effective, and safe skincare products, it is increasingly important for natural agents' mechanisms, efficacy, and commercial value to be systematically evaluated and documented. This review aims at fulfilling this knowledge gap as well as providing directions for future research and product development. Considering all the beneficial effects of Korean medicinal herbs, the current review discusses major bioactive compounds present in these herbs and formulations used in anti-aging and skincare treatments, along with their extraction procedure, commercialization, and patents. The review highlights the potential benefits of Korean herbal medicine in promoting youthful, radiant skin through natural and time-honored practices.
  • Synergistic Antioxidant Activity in Deep Eutectic Solvents: Extracting and Enhancing Natural Products
    Luis Alfonso Jiménez-Ortega, Jayanta Kumar-Patra, Rout George Kerry, Gitishree Das, Josué D. Mota-Morales, J. Basilio Heredia
    ACS Food Science and Technology, 2024
    High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Many natural products (NPs) exhibit strong antioxidant activity, making them valuable for various applications. In this context, the emergence of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) is expected to help address the growing demand for innovative, efficient, and more sustainable methods for NPs extraction. DESs are designer solvents that provide higher yields and enhance the antioxidant activity of extracted phytochemicals compared with conventional volatile organic solvents. Antioxidant and naturally occurring molecules can also form DESs, either as hydrogen bond donors (HBD) or as acceptors (HBA), creating natural DES (NADES) with inherent antioxidant activity. Thus, DESs containing extracted NPs can exert synergistic antioxidant effects, making the entire system a promising active ingredient for food industry applications. The synergy arises from the enhanced solubilization and stabilization of NPs in DESs through hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, and van der Waals forces. Collectively, DES and NPs enable the system to effectively neutralize oxidants (such as ROS and free radicals) and regulate their reactions with other molecules, achieving up to a 3-fold increase compared to extracts in regular solvents in vitro . This Account overviews the wide range of antioxidant molecules extracted from natural resources using DESs. The antioxidant activities of HBA, HBD, and DESs, along with their advantageous coupling with the antioxidant activities of NPs extracts, are thoroughly discussed. Finally, we envisage future directions and potential applications of DESs, harnessing their collective antioxidant activity to guide advances in sustainable food chemistry.
