Research Highlights:
Gorinstein laboratory operates at the interface of biology and food chemistry, focusing on in vitro studies of bioactivity, quenching, binding, antiproliferative, antioxidant, volatile, and metabolic properties of polyphenols and proteins from various plant sources. These sources include exotic, traditional, organic, and conventional fruits and vegetables; cereals and gluten-free pseudocereals; medicinal plants and berries. Interactions between plant polyphenols and human serum proteins, including common and glycated albumins (HSA and HSA-G), globulin, and fibrinogen are one of the research tasks. These interactions, particularly with HSA-G, help to understand the pathophysiology of diabetes The investigated properties evaluate plants as a new natural source for everyday human consumption for preventing CAD, diabetes, and celiac disease as functional foods or their ingredients.
