Cornell University food scientists. The studies show that the chemical quercetin, a so- called phytonutrient, appears to be largely responsible for protecting rat brain cells when assaulted by oxidative stress in laboratory tests. Phytonutrients, such as phenolic acids and flavanoids, protect the apple against bacteria, bacteria, viruses and fungi and provide the fruit's anti-oxidant and anti-cancer benefits. Quercetin is a major flavanoid in apples. Antioxidants help prevent cancer by mopping up cell-damaging free radicals and inhibiting the production of reactive substances that could damage normal cells. "The studies show that additional apple consumption not only may help reduce the risk of cancer, as previous studies have shown, but also that an apple a day may supply major, bioactive ^compounds,, triggers which may play an important role in reducing the risk of neurodegenerative disorders," says Chang Y. "Cy" Lee, Cornell professor of food science science at the university's New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, N.Y. In a study that recently appeared online and is to be published in the November/December November/December 2004 issue of theJournal of Food Science (69(9): S357-60), Lee and his co-authors compared how two groups of rat neuronal cells fared against hydrogen peroxide, peroxide, a common oxidative stressor. stressor. Only one of the two groups was pretreated with different concentrations of apple phenolic extracts. The researchers found that the higher the concentration of apple phenolic extract, the greater the protection was for the nerve cells against oxidative oxidative stress. "What we found was that the apple phenolics, which arc naturally occurring antioxidants antioxidants found in fresh apples, can protect nerve cells Irom neurotoxicity induced by oxidative stress," Lee said. When Lee and co-author Ho Jin Heo, a visiting fellow at Cornell, looked at quercetin they found that it appeared to be the main agent responsible for the beneficial effect. In fact, they found quercetin works even better in protecting protecting nerve cells against hydrogen hydrogen peroxide than vitamin C, a naturally occurring antioxidant antioxidant known to help prevent cell and tissue damage from oxidation. Quercetin is primarily primarily found in apples, berries and onions. This study, which appeared online recently, will be published published in the December issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry . The two studies build on Lee's 2002 findings that quercetin has stronger anticancer anticancer activity than vitamin C, and his 2000 findings that phytocliemicals in apples have stronger anti-oxidant protective protective effects than vitamin C against colon and liver cancer cells. Other studies have found that phytochemicals are associated associated with a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes, diabetes, and that they fight not only cancer but also bacterial and viral infections. In addition, addition, they are anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatoiy. Although Lee stresses that his studies were conducted in the laboratory, not in clinical trials with humans, he has no hesitation in recommending more apples in the diet as well as other fresh fruits and vegetables. vegetables. "Indeed, I have a reason reason to say an apple a day keeps the doctor away," he says. The researchers used red delicious apples grown in New York state to provide the extracts to study the effects of phytochemicals. Lee said that all apples are high in the critical critical phytonutrients and that the amount of phenolic compounds compounds in the apple flesh and in the skin vary from year to year, season to season and from growing region to growing growing region. The study on apple pheno- lics, which was co-authored by 11co and D.O. Kim, a post doctoral researcher at Cornell, as well as S.J. Choi and D.H. Shin at Korea University, was supported in part by Heo's postdoctoral fellowship through the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KSEF) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The study on quercetin, authored by Lee and Heo, also was supported, in part, by the KSEF fellowship program and U.S. Apple Association. Royal Lepage midgets move up the ranks The Orono midget team, sponsored by Charlie Reid Royal Lepage, started the new year off right. January saw the midgets with two wins, two ties and one loss. The last game of January was played this past Sunday night and ended with a 5-1 win for Orono. A good team effort produced produced goals from Tyler Skelton, Blain Cox, Mike Whelan and two goals by Dustin Armstrong. Assisting on goals were Josh Dobson, David Grey, Justin Wcstcrink, and two by Wade Clark. Ken
