Application of the DSC and spectroscopy methods in the analysis of the protective effect of extracts from the blueberry fruit of the genus Vaccinium in relation to the lipid membrane

The aim of the study was to determine changes incurred in lipid model membranes by polyphenol compounds from blueberry fruit of the genus Vaccinium that includes low, high and black blueberry. In particular, the effect of extracts on the packing order in the lipid hydrophilic phase, the fluidity of the hydrophobic phase, as well as the temperature of the phase transition in phospholipids was studied. Model membranes were formed of...
