Abstract

The improved understanding of the underlying mechanisms of oxidative damage and/or chronic diseases is of high priority in dietary research. Although the chemical extraction of biofunctional molecules from different fruits and cereals have been studied extensively, the impact of food processing and digestion on bioactivity has not been studied systematically. The aim of this study was to investigate the biofunctional potential of blackcurrant powder incorporated into wholemeal wheat and barley cookies in after simulated in vitro digestion. The incorporation of blackcurrant significantly (p<0.05) increased the total phenolic content (about 60 %), significantly improved oxygen radical absorbance capacity (about 25 %) of the cookie digesta. Additionally cellular antioxidant and anti-proliferative activity (lowest EC₅₀ value 1.02 mg/mL) on human liver cancer cell model, HepG2 was significantly enhanced. Bioactive metabolites of blackcurrant incorporated cookies were significantly supressed the inflammatory cytokine genes IL-1β (about 3-fold), IL-6 (about 0.5-fold) and NF-kB (about 2-fold) regulation and upregulated satiety gene NUCB-2/Nesfatin-1 (about 5-fold) compare with wholemeal wheat and barley control cookies. The exerted synergistic effects of this study suggest that there may be a new and effective option to prevent and control chronic diseases in human.
