🌶 #Phytochemicals in Spices & Herbs 🌿 Phytochemicals such as piperine (found in black pepper), capsaicinoids (in chili peppers), estragole (in basil, tarragon, fennel, and anise), methyleugenol (in basil, nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove), as well as safranal, crocin, and picrocrocin (in saffron), are bioactive compounds present in spices and herbs. ✅ Piperine and capsaicinoids are generally recognized as safe in the EU and USA, often serving as quality indicators. Piperine adds the kick to black pepper, while capsaicin is responsible for the heat in chili peppers. Saffron, on the other hand, is graded based on its unique compounds like safranal and crocin. ❗ However, compounds like estragole and methyleugenol are subject to strict regulatory limits due to concerns over potential carcinogenicity. The EU has established maximum levels for these substances in flavorings. 🔬 At Mérieux NutriSciences - Global, we help ensure the safety and quality of your spices and herbs by analyzing these key phytochemicals. 👉 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ee3eBG2X #bioactivecomponents #spices #herbs

🌿 #Phytochemicals in Fruits & Fruit Juices: Nature's Bioactive Boost 🍊 Did you know that fruits and their juices are packed with powerful phytochemicals like flavonoids, polyphenols, and carotenoids? These natural compounds not only offer health benefits, but testing them also supports marketing claims, ensures quality control and sensory properties monitoring, and helps meet regulatory requirements. Here are some of the key families of phytochemicals in fruits and juices: ➡ Flavonoids: Found in fruits like berries, apples, and grapes. For example, hesperidin is abundant in citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons, while naringin is found in grapefruit. ➡ Polyphenols: These are plentiful in apples, grapes, berries, and pomegranates. ➡ Carotenoids: Present in fruits like mangoes, papayas, carrots, and tomatoes, providing vitamin A activity and antioxidant benefits. Examples include beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. 🔬 At Mérieux NutriSciences - Global, we analyze these compounds to help you unlock their full potential. 👉 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ee3eBG2X #fruits #fruitjuices #bioactivecomponents #antioxidants #flavonoids #polyphenols #carotenoids #lycopene #lutein #zeaxanthin
