Abstract	More information on the effects of traditional cooking methods (roasting or boiling) on the chestnut composition may be important if health-promoting aspects are considered. The main aims of this study were to investigate and describe the phenolic profile and antioxidant capacity of raw, boiled, and roasted chestnuts from several Castanea spp. genotypes, evaluating the influence of the application of different traditional cooking methods on the nut phytochemical composition by chromatographic and spectroscopic strategies. The amounts of phenolics were used as selected variables together with total polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity to perform a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Catechins and tannins were the main molecules in the phenolic phytocomplex, reaching 30–40% of the total, followed by phenolic acids (5–20%) and flavonols (about 5%). Gallic and ellagic acids were the most important phenolic acids in raw and processed chestnuts (about 20–70 mg·100 g⁻¹ dried weight-DW and 10–50 mg·100 g⁻¹ DW, respectively). Both of the cooking processes significantly influenced the polyphenolic content and the relative antioxidant capacity. This research may support and confirm the potential use of chestnuts for human health, increasing the information on the phenolic pattern of differently processed Castanea spp. fruits from different genotypes to (i) assess the potential health-positive effects, (ii) help processing companies to select specific varieties to commercialise in the market, and (iii) increase the use of these fruits with the relative increase in income for the producers.

Abstract	In European countries, the utilisation of chestnut flours (CF) has been increasing in the bakery industry because the CF ingredients provide not only nutritional and health benefits but also improve organoleptic and health-promoting properties. This work aimed to describe the phytochemical properties and antioxidant capacity of chestnut flours from different Castanea spp. genotypes and origins, studying the effects of the addition of CF to traditional wheat-based cookies on their quality and sensory traits. Commercial chestnut flours were also considered. CF used in addition to wheat-based flours may increase the quality and health-promoting value of bakery products for its many benefits: (i) nutritional and phytochemical value; (ii) zero-Km availability in many producing areas (Europe, Asia, Australia, and North and South America); (iii) for these areas, food security is connected to a vulnerable wheat-based food system. Chromatographic and spectroscopic methods were utilised to assess the composition and antioxidant properties of the considered chestnut flours. The sensory value of the prepared chestnut/wheat-based cookies was also assessed by a panel of common consumers (hedonistic test by a 9-points hedonistic scale). Monoterpenes were the main substances in the flour phytocomplex, reaching 80–90% of the total, followed by phenolics (8–12%) and vitamin C in trace (1–3%). Antioxidant capacity ranged from 9.64 ± 0.96 mmol Fe⁺² kg⁻¹ DW (BOUC flour from cv Bouche de Bétizac) to 17.33 ± 1.35 mmol Fe⁺² kg⁻¹ DW (CANA flour from cv Canalutta). In this research study, the cookies derived from CANA and BOUC flours were considered the most appreciated products by consumers, with values of 7.09 ± 0.46 and 6.88 ± 0.18, respectively. These results confirmed that integrating phytochemical data with sensory results is very important for food industries to obtain a complete description of the analysed flours and consequently of the derived products to produce new bakery products highly appreciated by consumers with high health value in comparison to the traditional products.

Abstract	Traditional food and medicine play an important role in the daily lives of the local people of Madagascar for various reasons, including poor nutrition and access to health care, limited markets, and traditional values. This research aimed to investigate the potential properties of leaf infusions of six plant species used as traditional beverages by the local population of the Maromizaha protected forest through a phytochemical characterization of the composition of these plants and a preliminary assessment of their antioxidant capacity. Infusion of Euphorbia tetraptera presented the highest content of total polyphenols (9893.3 ± 401.6 mgGAE/100 gDW) and the highest antioxidant capacity (831.46 ± 44.08 mmol Fe²⁺/Kg DW), together with important values of benzoic acids, catechins, flavonols, cinnamic acids and organic acids. The Tina striata species also showed interesting levels of bioactive compounds in infusions, with high levels of polyphenols (420.17 ± 22.32 mgGAE/100 gDW), and antioxidant capacity (534.96 ± 5.78 mmol Fe²⁺/Kg DW), and organic acids (444.96 ± 43.43 mg/100 g DW). The comparison between leaf extracts and infusions confirmed that the intake of infusions by the local population may be, in general, a source of nutrients and bioactive molecules with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Finally, this study may help to improve the health of the local population, proposing these plants also for food purposes and adding new information on the Malagasy flora.

Abstract	Within the world of natural food supplements, organic extracts deriving from young plant meristematic tissue (bud-derivatives) are becoming attractive, thanks to their richness in bioactive molecules. This natural source is scarce, but every year, tons of plant material, including buds, come from city pruning. If this sustainable source is rather promising from a circular economy point of view, the safety of the obtained supplements must be assessed. In fact, anthropic microcontaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), could adsorb onto the urban buds, leading to a possible contamination of the bud-derivatives. In this study, we developed a magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction (m-dSPE) based on molecularly imprinted microparticles, combined with GC-MS, to quantify the 16 priority PAHs in such extracts. The D-optimal experimental design was implemented to maximize analytes' recovery with the smallest set of experiments. The optimized method was characterized by great selectivity thanks to the molecular imprinted polymer and ease of use provided by m-dSPE. Moreover, it complies with green principles, thanks to the minimum consumption of organic solvent (1.5 mL of acetone per sample). The recoveries ranged from 76 to 100% and procedural precision was below 10% for most PAHs. Despite the matrix complexity, low quantification limits (0.7-12.6 μg kg

Abstract	Chestnuts (Castanea spp.) are plants of relevant economic interest in the agro-sylvicultural contexts of mountain regions throughout the temperate zone, particularly in the northern hemisphere. In recent years, several biological adversities have repeatedly endangered species belonging to this genus, calling for coordinated actions addressed to contrast their decline. These actions have mainly focused on the control of key pests/pathogens and the improvement of resistance/tolerance by the plant host, while the role of microorganisms as mediators of interactions between plants and the noxious agents has been less considered, essentially by reason of a limited knowledge on their ecological impact. In line with the increasing awareness of the basic importance of microbial symbionts in regulating plant fitness in both natural and crop contexts, this paper offers an overview on the occurrence and effects of endophytic fungi of chestnuts.

Abstract	In recent years, research has focused on phenolic compounds and their putative role as markers of graft incompatibility. Thus far, no studies have been conducted on the role of phenolic compounds in chestnut (Castanea spp.). The present study investigated the content of phenolic compounds in different combinations of Castanea spp. cultivars and rootstocks. Analyses were performed on the inner and outer tissues of chestnut grafts at two phenological sampling stages. The separation, identification and quantification of the phenolic markers via HPLC were preceded by an ultrasonic green extraction. Two chromatographic methods were tested for a total of 15 phenol compounds. Flavonol compounds were not detected, while cinnamic acids were found in low concentrations. The amount of gallic acid turned out to be higher at the graft union of the incompatible combination (20.11 ± 1.47 mg/100 gFW vs. 8.94 ± 1.08 mg/100 gFW). The same pattern was observed for catechin (15.79 ± 1.83 mg/100 gFW vs. 9.63 ± 1.98 mg/100 gFW). Differences in tannin concentrations seemed to be species-specific, and were apparently not related to graft incompatibility. The present work underlines the potential application of certain phenol compounds for the early prediction of graft incompatibility in Castanea spp.

Abstract	Medlar (Mespilus germanica L.) has been cultivated in several Asian and European countries for medical/food use for many years. As scarce information is available outside Southwest Asia, this study aimed to increase the knowledge of this local and underutilised fruit in Italy as a source of bioactive compounds. Total polyphenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity (AOC) were evaluated by spectrophotometric methods, while the main phytochemical compounds were identified and quantified by HPLC fingerprint. Even if many compounds are variable and decrease during ripening, this research reported the presence of considerable amounts of bioactive compounds in ripe medlar fruits, which resulted particularly rich in monoterpenes (total: 1380.26 ± 48.06 mg/100 gFW; in particular γ-terpinene 922.77 ± 31.61 mg/100 g of fresh weight or FW) and organic acids (total: 963.05 ± 33.21 mg/100 gFW; in particular, malic and citric acid: 406.50 ± 5.25 and 380.99 ± 13.11 mg/100 gFW, respectively), with high values of TPC (138.58 ± 10.03 mg/100 gFW) and AOC (6.59 ± 2.35 mmol Fe²⁺/kgFW), revealing the benefits of this fruit as a source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Bioactive compound content of M. germanica extracts exhibited high variability in different geographic areas, that may depend on several biotic and abiotic factors, and many compounds showed a decreasing trend losing properties during the ripening, but the presence of health-promoting agents was confirmed by the high levels of bioactive compounds observed in the analysed fruit and highlighted the necessity of enhancing the propagation of the medlar in the Italian peninsula as fresh fruit and high-quality nutritional and health-promoting ingredient.

Abstract	Androsta-1,4-dien-3,16-dione was isolated for the first time from the plant kingdom of the ethanolic extract of the Ravenala madagascariensis’ inflorescence by the bio-guided method. Its structure was elucidated by NMR and MS spectroscopic data analysis. The vascular effects of ethanol extracts, fractions and androsta-1,4-dien-3,16-dione were assessed on the phenylephrine pre-contracted isolated rat aorta. The isolated compound exerted the most potent vaso-relaxing effect (EC₅₀ = 109.32 ± 15.82 µM) than the ethanol extract and fractions. The pharmacological mechanism of its vaso-relaxing action was analysed on isolated rat aorta using free-endothelial vascular tissue, specific contracting reagents (CaCl₂ and KCl), antagonist (propranolol), enzyme inhibitors (L-NAME, methylene blue) and channel blocker (glibenclamide). Its vaso-relaxing activity could be due, at least partly, to the non-specific inhibition of the calcic influx.
