In Vitro Antioxidant, Antithrombotic and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of the Amphiphilic Bioactives from Greek Organic Starking Apple Juice and Its By-Products (Apple Pomace) by Maria Vandorou, Christos Plakidis, Ilektra Maria Tsompanidou, Anna Ofrydopoulou, Katie Shiels, Sushanta Kumar Saha, Alexandros Tsoupras

“…The rich-in-TAC extracts showed much higher content in phenolics and carotenoids than the TLC extracts, which was also reflected by the much stronger antioxidant capacities observed in TAC. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy revealed the presence not only of phenolics and carotenoids but also of amphiphilic polar lipids (PLs) in TAC, the structural analysis of which with LC–MS further revealed a fatty acid composition favorable for unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) versus saturated ones (SFAs). …”
