dc.description.abstractBeer can be considered a functional beverage and integrate innovative ingredients, namely sweet cherries, with different properties, such as antioxidant activity[1,2]. To evaluate the antioxidant activity, in vitro, and liver toxicity, in human hepatocarcinoma cells (HepG2), in beer after incorporation of aqueous (CAE) and ethanolic (CEE) extracts of cherry variety "Lapins". CAEand CEE(1mg/mL) were incorporated into commercial bottles of Imperial Stout beer (IS-N). The total phenolic content(TPC), expressed in mg of gallicacid equivalents (GAE)/g, was determined. The antioxidant capacity was evaluated by the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) neutralization and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) assays, both expressed in the concentration required to inhibit the activity by 50% (IC50). Also, the ferricreducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay was performed and expressed in μmol of trolox equivalent (TE)/mg. Cell toxicity was studied in HepG2 cells, with assessment of metabolic activity by the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Data were analysed using GraphPad Prism software, and significant differences were considered for p< 0.05.The incorporation of CEEto IS-N beer significantly decreased TPC (4.2±0.1mg GAE/g for IS-N+CEE; 8.3 ± 0.2mg GAE/g for IS-N;p<0.05).There was an increase in the antioxidant capacity by the ABTS assay(IC50= 80.1±1.1μg/mLfor IS-N; IC50= 60.5 ±1.5 μg/mLfor IS-N + CAE; IC50= 48.0 ±0.6 μg/mLfor IS-N + CEE); however, the incorporation of cherry extracts was not promising in the H2O2(27.0±1.5μg/mLfor IS-N; IC50= 58.7 ±0.4 μg/mLfor IS-N + CEE; IC50= 78.8 ±1.6 μg/mLfor IS-N + CAE;) and FRAP (44.4±0.0μmol/gfor IS-N; 42.7 ±0.0μmol/gfor IS-N + CAE; and 39.7 ±0.0μmol/gfor IS-N + CEE) assays. Further more, IS-N+CEE showed greater antioxidant capacity than IS-N+CAE. After the incorporation of cherry extracts, cytotoxicity was observed in concentrations higher than 10 mg/mL (for IS-N + CAE, 24h incubation) and at the concentration of 500mg/mL (for IS-N + CAE and IS-N + CEE, 48h incubation). IS-N + CEE showed the greatest increase in cell viability. The addition of cherry extracts to beer increased the antioxidant capacity by the ABTS assay, while TPC was reduced with the addition of CEE. The incorporation of both extracts showed promising potential, with low cytotoxicity in HepG2.eng
