AB  - Without being aware of their chemical composition, many cultures have used herbaceous peony roots for medicinal purposes. Modern phytopreparations intended for use in human therapy require specific knowledge about the chemistry of peony roots and their biological activities. In this study, ethanol–water extracts were prepared by maceration and microwave- and ultrasound-assisted extractions (MAE and UAE, respectively) in order to obtain bioactive molecules from the roots of Paeonia tenuifolia L., Paeonia peregrina Mill., and Paeonia officinalis L. wild growing in Serbia. Chemical characterization; polyphenol and flavonoid content; antioxidant, multianti-enzymatic, and antibacterial activities of extracts; and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion (GID) of hot water extracts were performed. The strongest anti-cholinesterase activity was observed in PT extracts. The highest anti-ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical potential was observed in PP extracts, whereas against DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals), the best results were achieved with PO extracts. Regarding antibacterial activity, extracts were strongly potent against Bacillus cereus. A molecular docking simulation was conducted to gather insights into the binding affinity and interactions of polyphenols and other Paeonia-specific molecules in the active sites of tested enzymes. In vitro GID of Paeonia teas showed a different recovery and behavior of the individual bioactives, with an increased recovery of methyl gallate and digallate and a decreased recovery of paeoniflorin and its derivatives. PT (Gulenovci) and PP (Pirot) extracts obtained by UAE and M were more efficient in the majority of the bioactivity assays. This study represents an initial step toward the possible application of Paeonia root extracts in pharmacy, medicine, and food technologies.

AB  - Polyphenol recovery and physico-chemical properties of the extracts depend on the type of
solvents and their pH values. Additionally, due to the presence of different biologically active
compounds in plant waste, plant extracts obtained from industrial by-processing can find
potential applications in various products. In the present study, Serpylli herba waste extracts
were prepared using maceration (60 min), a solid-to-solvent ratio of 1:30, the particle size of
plant waste 0.3 mm, and two types of the extraction medium: 50% ethanol (pH 6) and 50%
ethanol with glacial acetic acid (pH 2.5). The lyophilization process was chosen as the next
step (-75°C, 0.011 mbar, for 24 h). Comparison of liquid and lyophilized extracts prepared at
different pH values was done via analyzing total polyphenol content (TPC, Folin-Ciocalteu
method), total flavonoid content (TFC, colorimetric assay), antioxidant capacity (ABTS and
DPPH assays), zeta potential, and conductivity (photon correlation spectroscopy). TPC of
liquid extracts prepared at pH 2.5 and pH 6 amounted to 1.38 and 1.23 mg GAE/mL,
respectively, while lyophilized parallels had 271.7 and 188.8 mg GAE/g, respectively. The
same trend is noticed in the case of TFC: 0.368 and 0.334 mg CE/mL for liquid extracts
obtained at pH 2.5 and pH 6, respectively, and 102.5 and 99.7 mg CE/mL for lyophilized
parallels. ABTS radical scavenging activity of the liquid extracts at pH 2.5 and pH 6 was
0.767 and 0.750 mmol TE/L, respectively and for the lyophilized parallels was 0.136 and
0.111 mmol TE/g. IC50 (concentration for neutralization of 50% of DPPH free radicals) was
1.12 and 1.75 mg/mL for the liquid extracts prepared at pH 2.5 and pH 6, respectively and
0.331 and 0.391 mg/mL for the lyophilized parallels. The zeta potential of the liquid extracts
at pH 2.5 and pH 6 was 1.74 and -2.56 mV, respectively, whereas the zeta potential of
lyophilized parallels was -3.55 and -18.7 mV. Conductivity of the liquid extracts was 0.864(pH 2.5) and 0.423 mS/cm (pH 6), whereas for the lyophilized extracts it was 0.199 (pH 2.5)
and 0.452 mS/cm (pH 6). The presented results provide the information on physico-chemical
properties of Serpylli herba waste liquid and lyophilized extracts that can add value and
improve the quality of the existing food, functional food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic
products, as well as for drinking water and wastewater treatment.

AB  - In the present study, Serpylli herba's waste extracts were prepared using 50% ethanol (pH 6) and 50%
ethanol with hydrochloric acid (pH 1.2), using maceration (25 °C) and heat-assisted extraction (HAE,
80 °C). The best extraction conditions were determined via analyzing total polyphenol (TPC) and
flavonoid contents (TFC), antioxidant capacity, extraction yield, zeta potential, density, and surface
tension. In maceration and HAE, TPC were 1.18±0.06 and 1.43±0.05 mg GAE/mL (pH 6), and
0.69±0.05 and 0.86±0.02 mg GAE/mL (pH 1.2). The same trend is noticed in the case of TFC:
0.33±0.01 and 0.42±0.02 mg CE/mL (pH 6) and 0.24±0.01 and 0.27±0.01 mg CE/mL (pH 1.2). ABTS
radical scavenging activity was 775.0±3.5 and 623.8±5.1 mmol Trolox/mL (pH 6), and 269.2±3.1
and 327.9±7.7 mmol Trolox/mL (pH 1.2). In DPPH assay, IC50 was 1.64±0.04 and 1.48±0.03 mg/mL
(pH 6), and 7.59±0.07 and 5.11±0.09 mg/mL (pH 1.2). Extraction yield was 0.541±0.049 and
0.583±0.019% (pH 6), and 0.938±0.057 and 0.889±0.060% (pH 1.2). Zeta potential was -2.58±0.02
and -2.08±0.10 mV (pH 6), and 1.49±0.37 and 1.08±0.09 mV (pH 1.2). Density was 0.945±0.001

AB  - Starter cultures are essential components of fermented foods with the potential to enhance
preservation, improve nutritional quality, and modify the sensory qualities of the products. The
study characterized the microcarriers with the probiotic starter culture which could be used for
the preparation of functional whey-based products. The culture was encapsulated using the
spray-drying technique and implemented in the whey-based medium. The protective effect of
alginate-whey carriers on the microencapsulated dairy starter culture (Lactoferm ABY 6)
during the spray-drying, fermentation, and storage time were analyzed. The production yield,
encapsulation efficiency, solubility, particle size, and moisture content were determined after
the microencapsulation process. The SEM analysis was used for the characterization of powder
and carrier surface morphology. The encapsulation efficiency and powder solubility were
75,8±0,09 % and 86,0±1,62 %, respectively. The cell viability in the powders and beverages
was monitored for 28 days. The results showed that the microencapsulation process improved
cell viability (> 9,08 log10CFU/mL) during the fermentation process. Moreover,
microencapsulated probiotic cells have a higher survival rate in beverages in comparison with
free cells in storage time. The application of this type of encapsulation technique showed
potential regarding cell preservation in the production and storage of functional beverages.

AB  - In the present study, polyphenol extraction from Thymus serpyllum by-product (herbal dust) in microwave reactor was optimized through varying extraction time, ethanol concentration and solid-to-solvent ratiovia determination of total polyphenol and flavonoid contents, and antioxidant activity, using response surface methodology and a central composite design. Total polyphenol and flavonoids contents, as well as antioxidant activity of the extracts were statistically significantly affected by ethanol concentration and solid-to-solvent ratio. However, extraction time had statistically significant influence only on polyphenol yield. The extraction conditions that maximized polyphenol recovery were 48% ethanol and 0.0402 g/mL solid-to-solvent ratio during 86 s of microwave-assisted extraction, and under these conditions total polyphenol content was estimated to be 57.2 mg of gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/L, while measured value was 58.1 ± 3.2 mg GAE/L. Polyphenol content (HPLC analysis), antioxidant, antimicrobial and antispasmodic potential of the extract prepared under these optimal extraction conditions were evaluated. Rosmarinic acids, luteolin 7-O-glucuronide, caffeic acid, apigenin glucuronide, 6-hydroxyluteolin 7-O-glucoside, 6,8-di-C-glucosylapigenin, and traces of chlorogenic acid were quantified in the extract (descending order of content). The selected extract inhibited 95% ± 0.9 of lipid peroxidation in β-Carotene and linoleic acid emulsion. It was more effective against tested Gram-positive bacteria than against Gram-negative and showed dose-dependent antispasmodic activity on spontaneous contractions, acetylcholine- and potassium chloride-induced contractions. Microwave-assisted extraction could be selected as a successful technique for polyphenol extraction from wild thyme by-product. Biological activities shown in the study open the possibility of potential application of the extract in pharmaceutical, food, functional food and cosmetic products

AB  - The aim of the present study was the characterization of silymarin and silibinin loaded liposomes 
via determination of encapsulation efficiency, particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta 
potential, mobility, and conductivity, as well as storage stability during 28 days at 4ºC and stability 
after UV irradiation. Encapsulation efficiency of silymarin and silibinin were 92.05±1.41% and 
87.86±2.06%, respectively. Particle size and PDI of the liposomes with silymarin were changed 
from 3541.3±62.5 nm to 2677.0±44.2 nm and from 0.346±0.044 to 0.228±0.036, respectively, 
during the 28-days stability study; particle size and PDI of the liposomes with silibinin were 
changed from 2074.7±19.4 nm to 2704.0±35.0 nm and from 0.328±0.030 to 0.456±0.026, 
respectively. Zeta potential of the silymarin-liposomes and silibinin-liposomes was changed from -
27.0±0.7 mV to -26.4±0.4 mV and from -29.4±0.6 mV to -9.0±0.4 mV, respectively. Mobility and 
conductivity of the liposomes with silymarin were changed from -2.120±0.057 µmcm/Vs to -
2.067±0.028 µmcm/Vs and from 0.017±0.005 mS/cm to 0.009±0.004 mS/cm, respectively. 
Mobility and conductivity of the liposomal particles with silibinin were changed from -2.307±0.053 
µmcm/Vs to -0.708±0.033 µmcm/Vs and from 0.018±0.003 mS/cm to 0.060±0.001 mS/cm, 
respectively. UV irradiation did not affect particle size and PDI of all liposomes, but it caused a 
decrease in zeta potential: -23.9±0.8 mV for silymarin and -24.5±0.7 mV for silibinin, in mobility: -
1.874±0.064 µmcm/Vs for silymarin and -1.920±0.057 µmcm/Vs for silibinin, and in conductivity: 
0.014±0.001 mS/cm for silymarin and 0.007±0.003 mS/cm for silibinin. Overall, the obtained 
results qualify liposomes to be used as silymarin and silibinin carriers for application in functional 
foods and pharmaceutical products.

AB  - Food technology has adopted new principles and practices that are rapidly changing the food sector. New foods are now available under more uniform standards and better quality control. Globalised food market offers opportunities for manufacturers to increase production and profit, and at the same time, consumers benefit from the choice of food products like never before. All this is possible only because of the innovations in the food sector. One of such innovations is encapsulation technology, which aims to preserve food quality, enhance the sensorial properties of food and increase the efficiency in food processing.

This book discusses the uses of encapsulation technology in food practices and conventional processes and also highlights new directions in food processing. In the introductory chapters’ review of encapsulation technologies, carrier materials and criteria for their selection, analytical methods for characterisation of encapsulated products and some aspects of product design and process optimisation. The most important achievements of encapsulation technology in the food sector are reviewed in the later chapters related to encapsulation of food ingredients, food biocatalysts and examples of usage of encapsulated active ingredients in the dairy and meat industry, beverage production, etc. In addition, the implementation of nanotechnology in the food sector is reviewed, emphasizing the most important materials and technologies for the production of nanoencapsulates. The book is a valuable source of information on encapsulation technology, for academia and industry, especially the food sector, with the aim of enhancing knowledge transfer.

AB  - Cherry fruits are known for their wide range of nutritive and bioactive compounds, including
fibers, vitamins, and phytonutrients. Sweet cherry consumption has been associated with
several health benefits against human problems such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer,
diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. Particularly, cherries contain abundant phenolic compounds
with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties as they exert a protective role
against oxidative stress and free radical damages. However, there is not a specific method to
fully extract all phenolics and other compounds from sweet cherries. Thus, this study aimed to
optimize the extraction of cherries through different extraction procedures (maceration and
ultrasound-assisted extraction) using different solvents (50% EtOH with and without HCl, and
Tris buffer). The resulting cherry fruit extracts were investigated regarding their i) total phenol
content - according to the Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method, ii) total protein content -
evaluated using the Bradford protein assay, and iii) antioxidant activity – characterized by
ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP assays. The ultrasound-assisted extraction using 50% EtOH and HCl
(pH=2.3) demonstrated the best results for total phenol content (7.51 mg/L), DPPH inhibition
(23.7%), and FRAP reducing power (24.5 mmol/g). On the contrary, the highest ABTS
scavenging activity was noticed for maceration obtained extract with 50% EtOH and HCl (7.23
mg/mL). Finally, the best protein yield was obtained for cherries when extraction was
performed in 0.1M Tris buffer at pH=11.2 (0.23 mg/mL). The optimization methodology in this
work is used as a screening test for producing bioactive compounds-rich extracts for the food
industry

with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties as they exert a protective role
against oxidative stress and free radical damages. However, there is not a specific method to
fully extract all phenolics and other compounds from sweet cherries. Thus, this study aimed to
optimize the extraction of cherries through different extraction procedures (maceration and
ultrasound-assisted extraction) using different solvents (50% EtOH with and without HCl, and
Tris buffer). The resulting cherry fruit extracts were investigated regarding their i) total phenol
content - according to the Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method, ii) total protein content -
evaluated using the Bradford protein assay, and iii) antioxidant activity – characterized by
ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP assays. The ultrasound-assisted extraction using 50% EtOH and HCl
(pH=2.3) demonstrated the best results for total phenol content (7.51 mg/L), DPPH inhibition
(23.7%), and FRAP reducing power (24.5 mmol/g). On the contrary, the highest ABTS
scavenging activity was noticed for maceration obtained extract with 50% EtOH and HCl (7.23
mg/mL). Finally, the best protein yield was obtained for cherries when extraction was
performed in 0.1M Tris buffer at pH=11.2 (0.23 mg/mL). The optimization methodology in this
work is used as a screening test for producing bioactive compounds-rich extracts for the food
industry",

AB  - The aims of the presented study were the investigation of the effect of different ultrasound-assisted extraction conditions (particle size, solid-to-solvent ratio, ethanol concentration and time) on polyphenol and flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity of wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum L.) extracts, HPLC qualitative and quantitative analysis, as well as the examination of antimicrobial properties against seven bacterial strains and one fungal strain. According to the results, the highest total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were reached with particle size of 0.3 mm, 1:30 solid-to-solvent ratio, 30 % ethanol and 30 min of extraction (31.9 +/- 0.1 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/L and 16.8 +/- 0.2 mg catechin equivalents (CE)/L, respectively). The most abundant polyphenolic compounds were rosmarinic acid, luteolin 7-O-glucumnide and salvianolic acid I (185.2 +/- 7.3, 141.6 +/- 3.4 and 76.4 +/- 2.1 mu g/mL, respectively). The best antioxidant recovery was achieved with particles of 0.3 mm and 1:30 solid-to-solvent ratio. Furthermore, the addition of ethanol in aqueous extraction medium has caused significantly better antioxidant activity than pure water. On the other hand, there was no statistically significant difference in antioxidant capacity between various ethanol percentage, as well as between time of 15 and 30 min. Selected extracts have shown significant antibacterial activity, particularly against Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica.

AB  - In the presented study, polyphenol profile, spasmolytic, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of lyophilized Thymus serpyllum extracts were examined. The main phenolic acid in the extracts was rosmarinic acid, followed by salvianolic acid I, salvianolic acid K isomer and caffeic acid, whereas chlorogenic acid was detected only in traces; the dominant flavonoids were luteolin 7-O-glucuronide and 6-hydroxyluteolin 7-O-glucoside, while the contents of apigenin glucuronide and 6,8-di-C-glucosylapigenin were significantly lower. All tested extracts have shown spasmolytic effect in a dose-dependent manner on spontaneous contractions, acetylcholine- and potassium chloride-induced contractions; lyophilized extract obtained in maceration has shown significantly better spasmolytic activity. The mentioned extract has shown dosedependent spasmolytic effect in the model of contractions induced by barium chloride and calcium chloride, as well. Furthermore, lyophilized extracts were effective against Gram-positive bacteria and showed only moderate antifungal activity. Ultrasound-assisted extraction provided extracts with better ability of neutralization DPPH radicals, whereas maceration and ultrasound-assisted extraction approved to be better regarding beta-carotene bleaching assay. Due to spasmolytic, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties shown in the present study, polyphenols-rich T. serpyllum extract may be used as adjuvant in therapy of gastrointestinal disorders and infections caused by some of the susceptible pathogens.

AB  - In traditional medicine Thymus serpyllum L. (wild thyme) herb represents a part of a large number of herbal medicinal formulations such as syrups, tinctures, infusions, teas, and decoctions. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in testing the biological properties of wild thyme, because the plant is a high-quality raw material, rich in essential oil and pharmacologically active polyphenolic compounds, which can be included in various formulations in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and chemical industries. Wild thyme extracts and essential oil have shown significant nitric oxide, ABTS and DPPH radicals scavenging potential, ferrous ion chelating property, reducing activity and ability to inhibit peroxidation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), proteins and lipids. Wild thyme extracts exerted antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Yersinia enterocolitica, as well as Lactic acid bacteria. Wild thyme essential oil has shown antibacterial potential against E. coli, L. monocytogenes, P. aeruginosa, S. enteritidis, S. aureus, Streptococcus salivariu, S. mutans, S. sanguinis, S. pyogenes, E. feacalis, B. cereus, B. subtilis, B. pumilis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella choleraesuis, and Salmonella poona. T. serpyllum extract possesses antifungal activity against Fusarium solani, F. moniliforme, Aspergillus flavus, Microsporum canis, Alternaria species, Candida albicans, and C. glabarata. The essential oil efficiently inhibited the growth of C. albicans, C. glabrata and Aspergillus fungi. Depending on the concentration, wild thyme extract significantly relaxed spontaneous contractions, as well as acetylcholine-, potassium chloride-, barium chlorideand calcium chloride-induced contractions of the isolated rat ileum. The extract significantly reduced the expression of the inducible enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 and inhibited acetylcholinesterase, myeloperoxidase and α-glucosidase activity. T. serpyllum extract has shown cytotoxic activity on human breast cancer cell lines, while essential oil has shown the antitumor potential in human cell lung cancer, colon, cervical, hepatocellular, prostate, and breast adeno-carcinoma.

AB  - Polyphenols, as plant secondary metabolites, achieve strong antioxidant capacity by scavenging free radicals, chelating metals, and interacting with lipid membranes, proteins and nucleic acids. The aim of the present study was the examination of the applied extraction conditions (particle size of plant material, solvent-to-solid ratio, solvent type, and extraction time) and extraction techniques (maceration, heat- and ultrasound-assisted extractions) on the free radicals' scavenging capacity of Thymus serpyllum polyphenol extracts, determined in ABTS and DPPH methods. According to the results, smaller particle size of herbal drug resulted with better antioxidant potential. However, this effect was statistically significant for heat- and ultrasound-assisted extractions according to ABTS assay, and for maceration and heat-assisted extraction according to DPPH assay. Furthermore, the increase in solvent-to-solid ratio from 10:1 to 30:1 resulted in the extracts with higher antioxidant activity regardless of the type of extraction technique, whereas the scavenging activity of ethanol extracts was higher in comparison to aqueous extracts. In terms of extraction time for achieving the highest free radicals' scavenging capacity, 30 min can be recommended for maceration and heat-assisted extraction, and 5 min for processing by ultrasonic probe. In neutralization of ABTS radicals, there were no statistically significant differences between antioxidant capacity of T. serpyllum extracts obtained by using different extraction techniques, whereas in DPPH scavenging activity, the extracts obtained in ultrasound-assisted extraction have shown statistically significantly higher activity. Due to the free radicals' scavenging properties shown in the present study, T. serpyllum extracts may be used in the formulations in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries.

AB  - The aim of the present study was the investigation of the impact of different extraction
conditions (particle size of plant material, solvent-to-solid ratio and solvent type) and
extraction techniques (maceration, heat- and ultrasound-assisted extractions) on the antioxidant activity of wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum L.) extracts. Liquid wild thyme extracts
were obtained in maceration (in shaker at 25°C), in heat-assisted extraction (in incubator
shaker at 80°C) and in ultrasound-assisted extraction (by ultrasound probe at amplitude of
80%) using three particle sizes (0.3, 0.7, and 1.5 mm), three solvent-to-solid ratios (10:1,
20:1, and 30:1), and three ethanol concentrations (0, 30 and 50 % ethanol). Antioxidant
potential of the obtained extracts was determined using ABTS and DPPH assays. The statistical analysis was performed by using statistical software, STATISTICA 7.0 (analysis of
variance and Duncan’s post-hoc test); the difference was considered statistically significant
at p<0.05. According to the results, higher degree of herbal drug disintegration resulted
with better antioxidant activity, but this effect was statistically significant for heat- and ultrasound-assisted extractions according to ABTS assay, and for maceration and heat-assisted
extraction according to DPPH assay. According to the influence of solvent-to-solid ratio, the
increase in ratio from 10:1 to 30:1 resulted in the extracts with higher antioxidant potential
regardless of the type of extraction method. Furthermore, in comparison to aqueous wild
thyme extracts the antioxidant activity of ethanol extracts was higher, particularly in the
case of 50 % ethanol extracts. In ABTS assay, there were no differences between antioxidant
activity of the extracts obtained by different extraction procedures, while in neutralization
of DPPH radicals, the extracts obtained using ultrasonic probe had statistically significantly
higher antioxidant potential. Due to the antioxidant properties shown in the present study,
wild thyme ethanol extract may be used in the formulations in food, pharmaceutical, and
cosmetic industries.

AB  - Polyphenols, as secondary metabolites from plants, are used as food complements or ingredients
within the pharmaceutical or cosmetic formulations. However, their use is rather limited, due to
their low bioavailability, integrity, permeability, and solubility. Namely, polyphenols’ sensitivity to
environmental factors during food processing, distribution, or storage, or in the gastrointestinal
tract, also limit their activity and the potential health benefits. Thus, the encapsulation of
polyphenol extracts represents an appropriate way to overcome the mentioned disadvantages.
Thymus serpyllum L. ethanol extract obtained in heat-assisted extraction (80°C), rich in polyphenol
compounds, was encapsulated into liposomes produced using phospholipids and proliposome
method. Total polyphenol content in extract and encapsulation efficiency were determined using the
Folin-Ciocalteu procedure. Particle size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential of empty and
extract loaded liposomes were measured during 28 days using photon correlation spectroscopy.
Total polyphenol content of the extract was amounted to 2.08±0.14 mg of gallic acid
equivalents/mL, whereas encapsulation efficiency was 89.4±0.8%. During the 28-days stability
study, the particle size of empty liposomes varied between 420.6±4.3 and 581.6±3.4 nm with
polydispersity index from 0.109±0.067 to 0.295±0.009, while the size of extract loaded liposomes
was between 278.7±1.5 and 456.4±9.3 nm with polydispersity index 0.179±0.094 to 0.284±0.005.
Zeta potential of empty liposomes varied from -17.1±0.2 to -27.3±0.5 mV, whereas the zeta
potential of extract loaded liposomes was between -13.6±0.3 and -25.4±1.4 mV. The aim of this
study is to provide evidence for food manufacturers and food scientists to make broader use of T.

AB  - Aromatic plants are commercially important and find wide use in food and pharmaceutical
industry, because of health benefits related with their antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, cardioprotective, cytotoxic, expectorant, anti-spasmodic and stimulant effects.
Most of phytochemicals are impossible to synthesize, therefore the best option is their extraction
from natural sources. Microwave-assisted extraction offers a rapid delivery of energy to a total
volume of solvent and solid plant material, improving the recovery of polyphenols. In the study,
wild thyme herb was evaluated as a source of polyphenols, which were extracted by the
application of microwaves instead of the traditional extraction techniques. The objective of the
present study was optimization of microwave-assisted extraction process through varying
irradiation time (5-180 s), temperature (60-200°C), particle size (0.3, 0.7 and 1.5 mm), solventto-solid ratio (10:1, 20:1, 30:1 and 40:1) and ethanol concentration in the extraction medium (0-
60%). Extraction efficiency was expressed via total polyphenol content (Folin-Ciocalteu method)
and antioxidant activity (ABTS radical scavenging method). The statistical analysis (one-way
ANOVA and Duncan's post-hoc test) has revealed that irradiation time above 15 s and particle
size have not shown statistically significant influence on polyphenol yield, while there were
significant differences between extracts obtained by various temperatures and solvent-to-solid
ratios. Although the highest polyphenol yield has achieved by using 50% of ethanol, there was
no statistically significant difference between ethanol concentration in the range from 30% to
50%. The highest polyphenol yield and antioxidant activity were achived in the extract with
particle size of 0.3 mm, 30:1 ratio and 50% ethanol, after 15 s, at 200°C (45.11 mg GAE/L and
27.22 µmol/L Trolox). According to the presented results, microwave-assisted extraction may be
used as an efficient and time saving alternative to traditional extraction techniques for extraction
of bioactive polyphenolic compounds from wild thyme.

AB  - The aim of the present study was the characterization of lyophilized alginate beads with
Rosa canina extract via determination of encapsulation efficiency, total polyphenol and
flavonoid contents, antioxidant capacity, particle size, sphericity factor and polyphenol release in distilled water medium. Electrostatic extrusion process was carried out to obtain calcium-alginate beads with encapsulated R. canina extract, which further lyophilized in freeze
dryer at -75°C and pressure of 0.011 mbar for 24 h and at -65°C and pressure of 0.054 mbar
for 1 h. The total polyphenol content was evaluated spectrophotometrically using modified
Folin-Ciocalteu method, whereas total flavonoid content was determined using colorimetric assay; antioxidant capacity was analyzed in ABTS and DPPH assays. Total polyphenol
and flavonoid contents in lyophilized R. canina extract loaded beads were 68.9±0.4 mg gallic
acid equivalents/g of lyophilized beads and 37.1±3.8 mg catechin equivalents/g, respectively. Thus, determined encapsulation efficiency of polyphenols was 55.1±0.3 %. In ABTS assay,
antioxidant activity of lyophilized extract loaded beads was 10.7±0.1 mg Trolox/g, whereas
in DPPH assay, IC50 of lyophilized beads was 4.11±0.02 mg/mL. The size of the lyophilized
R. canina extract encapsulated particles with extract was 460.7±47.7 µm and sphericity factor was 0.12±0.08. In distilled water as a medium, most of polyphenols of lyophilized R.
canina extract loaded beads were released in the first 30 min, and the maximum release plateau was reached at 90 min. Lyophilized R. canina extract loaded alginate beads developed
in this study have potential to be used in food, pharmacological and cosmetic industries,

AB  - Rosa canina pseudo-fruit is rich in bioactive substances, such are carotenoids, ascorbic acid,
polyphenols, fatty acids and minerals. Because of its diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and
antioxidant properties it is frequently employed in traditional medicine. However, in order to
protect mentioned bioactive compounds and to improve its bioavailability and controlled release,
numerous encapsulation methods have been developed. Thus, R. canina ethanol extract obtained
using percolation at ambient temperature (25°C), was encapsulated into Lipoid G liposomes
produced in thin film procedure. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents, as well as antioxidant
potential of the extract and extract loaded liposomes were determined. Encapsulation efficiency,
particle size, polydispersity index and zeta potential of the liposomes with extract were monitoring
during 30 days. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the extract were 103.8±1.9 mg of gallic
acid equivalents/g of the extract and 64.2±2.4 mg of catechin equivalents/g of the extract,
respectively; antioxidant potential of the extract was 15.3±2.1 mg of Trolox equivalents/g of the
extract (ABTS assay) and 1.07±0.01 mg/mL of the extract (DPPH assay). Total polyphenol and
flavonoid contents of the extract loaded liposomes were 0.316±0.023 mg of gallic acid
equivalents/mg of lipids and 0.219±0.009 mg of catechin equivalents/mg of lipids, respectively;
antioxidant potential of the sample was 0.134±0.004 mg of Trolox equivalents/mg of lipids (ABTS
assay) and 270.6±10.5 mg/mL of liposomal suspension (DPPH assay). Encapsulation efficiency
was the same during monitoring period and it was amounted 46.6±3.4%. Particle size and
polydispersity index of the liposomes with extract were increased from 618.2±10.9 to 1698.0±104.2
nm and from 0.441±0.007 to 0.589±0.011, respectively, during 30 days. On the other hand, zeta
potential of the extract loaded liposomes was decreased from -10.24±0.95 to -7.21±0.77 mV. R.
canina extract loaded liposomes developed in this study have potential to be used in food,
pharmacological and cosmetic industries due to beneficial health effects of R. canina active
compounds encapsulated into liposomes.

during 30 days. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the extract were 103.8±1.9 mg of gallic
acid equivalents/g of the extract and 64.2±2.4 mg of catechin equivalents/g of the extract,
respectively; antioxidant potential of the extract was 15.3±2.1 mg of Trolox equivalents/g of the
extract (ABTS assay) and 1.07±0.01 mg/mL of the extract (DPPH assay). Total polyphenol and
flavonoid contents of the extract loaded liposomes were 0.316±0.023 mg of gallic acid
equivalents/mg of lipids and 0.219±0.009 mg of catechin equivalents/mg of lipids, respectively;
antioxidant potential of the sample was 0.134±0.004 mg of Trolox equivalents/mg of lipids (ABTS
assay) and 270.6±10.5 mg/mL of liposomal suspension (DPPH assay). Encapsulation efficiency
was the same during monitoring period and it was amounted 46.6±3.4%. Particle size and
polydispersity index of the liposomes with extract were increased from 618.2±10.9 to 1698.0±104.2
nm and from 0.441±0.007 to 0.589±0.011, respectively, during 30 days. On the other hand, zeta
potential of the extract loaded liposomes was decreased from -10.24±0.95 to -7.21±0.77 mV. R.
canina extract loaded liposomes developed in this study have potential to be used in food,
pharmacological and cosmetic industries due to beneficial health effects of R. canina active
compounds encapsulated into liposomes.",

AB  - Rosa canina L. (Rosaceae) is frequently employed in traditional medicine, due to its diuretic,
anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antioxidant and analgesic effects. It is rich in various bioactive
compounds, including polyphenols, carotenoids, ascorbic acid, mineral elements and fatty acids.
Microencapsulation tehnique is a promising tool for improving R. canina polyphenols'
functionality, stability and bioavailability. Еlectrostatic extrusion process was carried out to
obtain calcium-alginate beads with encapsulated R. canina extract. In pure extract, total
polyphenol content was 103.8±1.9 mg GAE/g, whereas the concentration of flavonoids was
64.2±2.40 mg CE/g. Furthermore, polyphenol and flavonoid contents in extract loaded hydrogel
beads were 4.68±0.12 mg GAE/g and 2.93±0.23 mg CE/g, respectively. Thus, determined
encapsulation efficiency was 45.04±1.15%. In ABTS test, antioxidant activity of pure extract and
extract loaded hydrogel beads was 15.30±2.10 and 2.93±0.23 mg Trolox/g, respectively. In
DPPH test, IC50 of pure extract and extract loaded hydrogel beads was 1.07±0.01 and
29.32±2.15 mg/mL, respectively. The size of the produced R. canina extract encapsulated
hydrogel particles was 550.30±34.56 µm. In distilled water as a medium, most of polyphenols
were released relatively rapidly from alginate beads (in the first 20 min), and the maximum
release plateau was reached at 60 min. This study demonstrates the potential of using alginate
for encapsulation of R. canina polyphenols, with the aim to improve their functionality,
bioavailability and stability in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

AB  - Freeze drying was compared with spray drying regarding feasibility to process wild thyme drugs in order to obtain dry formulations at laboratory scale starting from liquid extracts produced by different extraction methods: maceration and heat-, ultrasound-, and microwave-assisted extractions. Higher total powder yield (based on the dry weight prior to extraction) was achieved by freeze than spray drying and lower loss of total polyphenol content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) due to the drying process. Gelatin as a coating agent (5% w/w) provided better TPC recovery by 70% in case of lyophilization and higher total powder yield in case of spray drying by diminishing material deposition on the wall of the drying chamber. The resulting gelatin-free and gelatin-containing powders carried polyphenols in amount similar to 190 and 53-75 mg gallic acid equivalents GAE/g of powder, respectively. Microwave-assisted extract formulation was distinguished from the others by a higher content of polyphenols, proteins and sugars, higher bulk density and lower solubility. The type of the drying process mainly affected the position of the gelatin-derived -OH and amide bands in FTIR spectra. Spray-dried formulations compared to freeze-dried expressed higher thermal stability as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry analysis and a higher diffusion coefficient; the last feature can be associated with the lower specific surface area of irregularly shaped freeze-dried particles (151-223 mu m) compared to small microspheres (similar to 8 mu m) in spray-dried powder.

AB  - Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a parasitic fungus, which has been used in traditional medicine in Russia and other northern European countries in the treatment of cancer, gastrointestinal andliver diseases. It has been a subject of intensive researchrecently, confirming many of its health-beneficial effects. In order to obtain a product that would allow modified and prolonged release of the Chaga's active metabolites, hot water Chaga extract was immobilized using calcium - alginate. The extract, which was predominantly composed of carbohydrates (57 %), also contained a relatively high amount of antioxidants/phenolic compounds (130 mg gallic acid equivalents per g of dry extract) and exhibited pronounced radical scavenging activity. It showed significant antibacterial activity as well, inhibiting growth of tested bacterial strains at concentrations of 1.25-20 mg/mL. Entrapment efficiency was about 80 %, and the extract-alginate system showed pH-dependant extract release; there was negligible release at pH 1.75 (gastric pH), and the release gradually increased with the increase in pH, reaching similar to 43 % of immobilized extract at pH 8.5 after 90 min. Such a product could be used as a dietary supplement, adjuvant in therapy of gastrointestinal diseases or as a food additive.

AB  - Puffballs are fungi that produce globose fruiting bodies that undergo autolysis, transforming their insides into a spore bearing, powdery mass. Mature fruiting bodies are traditionally used to treat open skin wounds. In this study, methanol extracts of two puffball species, Handkea excipuliformis and Vascellum pratense, were examined and compared in order to provide insight into the changes these mushrooms undergo during maturation, with respect to their potential use in skin care and wound treatment. Some compounds involved in skin care and regeneration were quantified, and it was found that maturation increases the concentrations of almost all of these compounds. Antioxidant activity was also more pronounced in mature fruiting body extracts, which was in correlation with the higher content of antioxidants. Tyrosinase inhibition was vastly improved with autolysis, correlating with the higher phenolic content in mature fruiting body extracts. Antimicrobial activity was negatively affected by autolysis in the case of H. excipuliformis, whereas autolysis had little effect on the antimicrobial activity of V. pratense. Autolysis generally improved the biological activity and increased the concentrations of compounds involved in skin care, which justifies the traditional use of puffballs and makes them good candidates for various potential cosmetic and medicinal skin-care products.

AB  - The aim of the present study was the optimization of the extraction conditions (particle size, solid-to-solvent ratio, extraction time and procedure) via total polyphenol content and radical scavenging activity, using wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum L.) as a natural source of polyphenols. According to the total polyphenols yield, particle size, solvent-to-solid ratio, and extraction technique have shown statistically significant influence, whereas the exposure time has not been a relevant factor. In all three extraction procedures (maceration, heat-and ultrasound-assisted extraction), the highest polyphenols yield was reached using the smallest plant particles and the highest solvent-to-solid ratio. Moreover, polyphenols content was significantly higher after ultrasound-assisted extraction, in comparison to the extraction at room and high temperature. According to the antioxidant recovery, the influence of different extraction parameters varied depending on the applied antioxidant tests and extraction procedures. 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)-ABTS radical scavenging capacity of extracts followed the next trend: maceration and ultrasound-assisted extraction  gt  heat-assisted extraction , while in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-DPPH neutralization: ultrasound-assisted extraction  gt  heat-assisted extraction  gt  gt  maceration. The study represents an important step in the formulation of antioxidant-rich extracts with potential use in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industry.

AB  - In the present study, spray-dried Thymus serpyllum extracts obtained by using four extraction
techniques (maceration, heat-assisted extraction, extraction in ultrasound bath and extraction by
ultrasound probe) were characterized through determination of total polyphenols and total
flavonoids contents, antioxidant capacity, zeta potential, bulk density and solubility. Polyphenols
yield was statistically higher in the extract obtained by ultrasound probe, in comparison to the
extracts prepared using maceration, heat-assisted extraction and extraction in ultrasound bath.
On the other hand, extraction technique did not show statistically significant influence on the
flavonoids concentration. Furthermore, extraction procedures did not show significant effect on
antioxidant neutralization of DPPH radicals, while flavonoids yield had correlation with the
DPPH radical-scavenging capacity assay. However, the extracts obtained using maceration and
ultrasound waves (ultrasound bath) have shown significantly better antioxidant capacity in the
preservation of β-carotene, compared to the extracts prepared by using high temperature and
ultrasound probe. The extract obtained in maceration has shown statistically better stability
(higher absolute value of zeta potential), compared to the extracts prepared using high
temperature and ultrasound waves. According to the results of Pharmacopoeia test, bulk density
of spray-dried T. serpyllum extracts was ranked by significance in the following order: heatassisted extraction>ultrasound bath and ultrasound probe>maceration. Relatively high
solubility of spray-dried extracts has been found in the following order: maceration>ultrasound
bath and ultrasound probe>heat-assisted extraction. Spray-dried T. serpyllum extract prepared
using maceration represents a powder with satisfying physicochemical properties, as well as a
good source of substances with significant antioxidant activity, particularly in emulsions, which
enable its use in functional food and pharmaceutical products.

AB  - The aim of the present study was the examination of the impact of β-sitosterol and gentisic acid on the characteristics of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(DPPC) liposomal particles: (a) bilayer permeability (fluorescence spectroscopy),(b) particle size, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential (photon correlation spectroscopy) and (c) thermal properties (differential scanning calorimetry).β-sitosterol induced the increase of liposomal bilayer rigidity, due to rearranging of the phospholipid chains, while gentisic acid enhanced the membrane fluidity, due to the reduced orderliness and the increase of phospholipid dynamics. The inclusion of β-sitosterol in liposomes caused a significant increase in particle diameter and PDI, while the encapsulation of gentisic acid did not have influence on particle size distribution. Apart from that, the presence ofβ-sitosterol resulted in the significant zeta potential increase, and thus a better stability of liposomal spheres(in the absence and in the presence of gentisic acid). β-sitosterol decreased main transition temperature (Tm) and phase transition enthalpy (∆H), and caused the disappearance of the pre-transition peak as well, whereas the presence of gentisic acid produced a slight decrease in Tm and increase of ∆H. Therefore, gentisic acid had more favourable, stabilizing interactions with phospholipids thanβ-sitosterol. Thus, it can be concluded that β-sitosterol is located in the bilayer interior between phospholipids acyl chains, and gentisic acid is incorporated near the outer leaflet of the phospholipid membrane, next to the polar head groups.β-sitosterol and gentisic acid loaded DPPC liposomal particles have a potential to be used in food and pharmaceutical products, due to the important individual and possible synergistic beneficial health properties ofβ-sitosterol and gentisic acid.
