Purified phenolic extracts of cooked regular-darkening (RR) and non-darkening (CND) cranberry beans were evaluated for their phenolic content, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity and bioavailability using a human colonic carcinoma (Caco-2) cell model. Major compounds included flavanols such as catechin, epicatechin and proanthocyanidins which were predominant to RR extract. RR and CND both contained p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid and tryptophan. Our results showed strong cellular antioxidant activity in RR and dose-dependent attenuation of TNF-α-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion. In addition, the extracts displayed protective benefit to endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, CAT, GPx and GR as well as GSH. Flavanols displayed poor bioavailability suggesting the beneficial effects occur via adsorption on the cell surface leading to cell signalling and localized radical scavenging activity. Our results support the beneficial effects of cranberry bean phenolics in their ability to ameliorate oxidative stress conditions notably in intestinal inflammatory responses.
