| dc.description.abstract | Phlorotannins are phenolic compounds exclusive from brown macroalgae endowed with promising bioactive properties. However, considering that diet is their main route of entrance to our system, gastrointestinal digestion might affect such bioactive properties. Here, phlorotannin extracts obtained from Laminaria digitata were submitted to simulated gastrointestinal digestion to evaluate its impact on their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Overall, a reduction of the total phlorotannin content along the gastrointestinal tract was noticed, although the antioxidant activity measured in vitro via NO● and O2●− scavenging assays, maintained almost the same. The crude extract (70 % v/v acetone) exhibited superior inhibition of NO● release on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cells after digestion. In contrast, the opposite occurred to the phlorotannin-purified extract, indicating that the digestive process favors the anti-inflammatory properties of the former but not the latter. Data collected from UHPLC-MS analysis revealed that the fuhalol and carmalol-type compounds were completely absent from the digested phlorotannin-purified extract, which could partly explain its lower anti-inflammatory activity compared with its non-digested counterpart. Overall, this study contributes to a better understanding of the impact of gastrointestinal digestion on the bioactivity profile of L. digitata phlorotannins, demonstrating that fuhalols and carmalols are particularly susceptible to the digestive process. | pt_PT |
