Bananas and plantains (Musa spp.) constitute an important component of the diet in Africa. Substantial levels of provitamin A carotenoids (pVACs) in Musa fruit have been reported, but the bioaccessibility of these pVACs remains unknown. In this study, we used an in vitro digestion model to assess the bioaccessibility (i.e. the transfer into micelles) of pVACs from boiled bananas and derived dishes using the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo as a study context. In particular, the effect of different food ingredients added to boiled bananas on pVAC’s bioaccessibility was studied. The bioaccessibility of all-trans β-carotene ranged from 10% to 32%, depending on the food recipes, and was modified, particularly when pVACs-rich ingredients (palm oil/amaranth) were added. Efficiency of micellarization of all-trans β-carotene was similar to that of all-trans α-carotene and depended on the cultivar (Musilongo, plantain type, 16%; Vulambya, East African cooking type, 28%), while that of the 13-cis isomer was higher (21–33.5%). Taking into account bioaccessibility, the estimated vitamin A activity was significantly different across the different Musa-based dishes tested. Results are discussed in terms of recommendations to help reduce vitamin A deficiency in Musa-dependent African communities.  相似文献

Analytical methods for sweetpotato, cassava and maize were developed. In orange and salmon-fleshed sweetpotatoes, (all-E)-β-carotene predominated and results of spectrophotometric screening and HPLC quantification did not differ significantly. In yellow-fleshed sweetpotato and cassava, however, spectrophotometric screening overestimated the HPLC values because of the presence of several minor carotenoids. Aside from (all-E)-β-carotene, Z-isomers were present in cassava in appreciable amounts. For both crops, extraction with acetone or tetrahydrofuran:methanol (1:1), using a mortar and pestle or a Polytron homogenizer, gave equivalent results. Rehydration of dry maize at room temperature for 30 min or at 85 °C for 5, 10 or 15 min gave equivalent results. Concentrations obtained with the C18 and C30 columns did not differ significantly for zeaxanthin, lutein, β-cryptoxanthin and β-carotene in the all-E-configuration, but their Z-isomers were difficult to locate in the chromatogram obtained with the C30 column. Extraction with tetrahydrofuran:methanol (1:1) gave significantly lower results for zeaxanthin and lutein.  相似文献

A simple, fast and robust method with minimum steps, small sample size and amounts of solvents was developed to determine major carotenoids contents in processed foods, tablets and gel capsules. The method involves dispersion of the sample in hot water (60 °C) with added butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in ethanol to minimize oxidation, followed by extraction with chloroform and analysis by liquid chromatography. Chromatographic parameters were: a C30 column protected with a C18 guard cartridge; gradient elution at the rate of 1.0 mL/min starting with 100% methanol (A) and ending with 40:60 (v/v) methanol/isopropanol (B); detection set at 450 nm for carotenoids, and 325 nm for retinol, retinyl acetate and retinol palmitate. The method exhibited: (i) high degree of repeatability (%rsd); (ii) linear calibration curves (r2 ? 0.9998); (iii) low detection; and quantification limits. The method was validated with standard reference material 2383 for trans-β-carotene; and tested for α-, and β-carotenes, lutein, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, trans-retinol in processed foods, tablets and gel supplements.  相似文献

Iron deficiency is the leading nutritional deficiency in the U.S. and the rest of the world, with its highest prevalences in the developing world. Iron fortification of food has been proposed as a strategy to reduce the high prevalence of iron deficiency. Poor consumer acceptance, unacceptable taste, and discoloration of the iron-fortified foods have been frequently listed as causes of unsuccessful iron fortification programs. An excellent prospect for improving consumer acceptance of iron-fortified foods is the incorporation of a thorough, organized, and unified approach to sensory evaluation practices into iron fortification programs for product optimization. The information gained from systematic sensory evaluation allows for the manipulation of the sensory attributes, and thus improvement of the sensory properties of the fortified food. However, iron fortification programs have not systematically measured the effect of fortification on the sensory quality of the food. Because sensory evaluation is an important criterion in successful iron fortification, an integrated approach is necessary. Therefore, nutritionists and sensory scientists should work closely with each other to select the most suitable sensory tests and methods. The objectives of this article are to: (1) critically review and discuss some traditional and contemporary approaches and applications of sensory evaluation practices in iron fortification programs, and (2) demonstrate the importance of incorporating a multidisciplinary, systematic sensory evaluation approach in iron fortification programs.  相似文献

Bananas and plantains (Musa spp.) are a staple food for millions of impoverished people and as such are an important source of vitamins and micronutrients. To evaluate the potential of Musa spp. to meet dietary micronutrients requirements, we have screened 171 different genotypes for fruit provitamin A carotenoids (pVACs) contents, and a subset of 47 genotypes for macro- and micro-mineral (iron and zinc) contents using standardised sampling and analytical protocols. The results indicate that there is substantial variability in mean fruit pulp pVACs contents between cultivars, and that cultivars with a high fruit pVACs content are widely distributed across the different genome groups but only at a low frequency. The introduction of such high pVACs cultivars has much potential for improving the vitamin A nutritional status of Musa-dependent populations at modest and realistic fruit-consumption levels. In contrast, fruit pulp mineral micronutrient contents (iron and zinc), were low and showed limited inter-cultivar variability, even for genotypes grown under widely-differing environments and soil types. Results are discussed within the framework of the development of strategies to improve the nutritional health and alleviation of micronutrient deficiencies within Musa-consuming population groups.  相似文献

The vitamin C and provitamin A carotenoids contents of 25 commercially available Spanish orange juices were studied. Large differences in the levels of these compounds were found. On average, ultrafrozen orange juices (UFOJ) and orange juices from the ecological agriculture (OJFEA) showed the highest ascorbic acid contents (518 and 412 mg/l respectively) among the different kinds of orange juices studied. Some disagreement between the declared and the actual amounts of vitamin C were found. Provitamin A carotenoids were determined by means of the corresponding standards. The monohydroxycarotenoid accompanying β-cyptoxanthin in orange juices was identified as the non-provitamin A carotenoid, zeinoxanthin, on the basis of the methylation test with acidified methanol. Unusually high contents of β-carotene (>0.5 mg/l) were found in two samples, which could indicate that substantial amounts of the pigment were added to those juices. The mandarin juice analyzed showed the highest provitamin A activity (359.3 retinol activity equivalents/l) Among the orange juices surveyed, UFO proved to be the best source of provitamin A (78.5 retinol activity equivalents/l, on average). The lowest contents were found in orange juices from concentrate (OJFC) (22.4 retinol activity equivalents/l, on average, without considering the orange juices with unusual β-carotene contents).  相似文献

The stability of vitamin A in Refined Bleached Deodorised Palm Olein (RBDPOL) was studied for 24 months. Vitamin A decreased with time, temperature and thermal treatment (frying/cooking). RBDPOL fortification was observed over several temperature ranges, using PET, nylon and HDPE commercial packaging materials. After 24 months, the following vitamin A contents of 39–43 IU g?1 (39–45%) at 16–20 °C; 35–40 IU g?1 (43–49%) at 24–29 °C; and 28–39 IU g?1 (45–73%) at 24–45 °C were detected at the respective temperature ranges. Results showed stability of vitamin A fortified RBDPOL vegetable oil was not stable over typical shelf life (12 months). Depletion of vitamin A accelerated when the RBDPOL vegetable oil was subjected to high temperature thermal treatment.  相似文献

Mycotoxins are products of moulds that frequently contaminate maize. In this study the presence of mycotoxins fumonisin B1 (FB1), fumonisin B2 (FB2), zearalenone (ZEA) and ochratoxin A (OTA) was determined in 49 maize grain samples collected in autumn 2002. The most frequent finding was that of FB1(100%), followed by ZEA (84%) and OTA (39%), while FB2 was found only in three samples. The co-occurrence of two and three mycotoxins was found in 55 and 37% of samples, respectively. The concentrations (mean ± SD) of FB1, ZEA and OTA in positive samples were 459.8 ± 310.7, 3.84 ± 6.68 and 1.47 ± 0.38 µg kg-1, respectively, and the concentrations of FB2 in three positive samples were 68.4, 109.2 and 3084.0 µg kg-1. Although such low concentrations of mycotoxins are not a significant source of exposure in countries with a European diet, a few samples with extreme values indicate that thorough control is needed.  相似文献

Immunoassays are used to screen for the presence of genetically modified organisms in raw materials. However, processing may condition the usefulness of immunoassays to analyse genetically modified foods because it leads to protein denaturation that affects recognition by antibodies. We studied the effect of processing on the detection of Cry1A(b) protein in model foods prepared with transgenic maize using a sandwich ELISA. Nixtamalization at 100 °C for 5 min and at 85 °C for 60 min gave 40 and 70% loss of Cry1A(b) protein. In the preparation of porridge, the concentration of Cry1A(b) protein did not change until the mixture reached 75 °C, but it decreased by 90% after 3 min at that temperature. Concentration of Cry1A(b) protein decreased by 90% in tortillas griddled at 180 °C for 20 s, but no protein was detected in fried tortillas after 10 s at 190 °C. Cry1A(b) protein is rapidly denatured by heat treatment resulting in a marked decline in concentration and decreased detection in processed foods.  相似文献

Sections of internodes of growing maize stems were used to study the behaviour of cell walls of different tissues during in-vitro degradation with rumen fluid. Tissues with primary cell walls-middle lamellae, at early stages of development, were degraded completely. In specific tissues, newly synthesised secondary walls were highly digestible whereas the primary walls-middle lamellae of these tissues were indigestible. These primary walls-middle lamellae stained positively with acid phloroglucinol but showed no fluorescence. At pollination, when secondary walls were of considerable thickness, these walls were still completely digestible even though they stained intensely with acid phloroglucinol and showed reduced fluorescence. However, at some distance from the cut end of sections, the secondary walls of the elongated tube-like cells of sclerenchyma tissue showed considerable reduction in digestibility. Cross-sectional area and dry weight measurements of different stem tissues revealed the importance of secondary wall digestion of sclerenchyma compared with the thin-walled parenchyma. Chemical treatment with KmnO4 or NaOH resulted in colourless secondary walls after staining whereas primary walls still reacted positively. It was concluded that very small amounts of phenolic compounds (lignin) located in the primary wall-middle lamella that are not removed by KmnO4 and NaOH treatment are responsible for the decrease in digestibility of tissues during plant development. Histochemical ‘lignin’ reactions and fluorescence just detect phenolic compounds and cannot be correlated with degradation.  相似文献

The concentration of provitamin A carotenoids in table olives was determined. Only -carotene was found in all commercial presentations. -carotene was also present in final products containing carrots. Concentrations of -carotene, referring to 100 g edible portion, ranged from an average of 197 to 1,387 g in green olives, from 37 to 726 g in directly brined olives and from 39 to 333 in ripe (darkened by oxidation) olives. Thus, some commercial presentations of table olives can be considered reasonable sources of provitamin A. Several groups were formed within elaboration styles and cultivars, according to commercial presentations. Their averages and other statistical estimations are also given. These results may be used by the industry as a source of information for nutritional labelling or by nutritionists to estimate provitamin A intakes in diets that include table olives.  相似文献

The protein and amino acid composition of several rice and maize varieties grown in North Vietnam, and their digestibility, was determined. The protein content (N×5.95) of rice cultivars ranged from 7.0 to 10.8% of which 70–80% was in the glutelin fraction. The true digestibility was relatively good (87.6–91.8%). In general, lysine and threonine were found to be the first and second nutritionally limiting amino acids, except for two varieties, which had a low content of sulphur-containing amino acids. The protein content of maize cultivars ranged from 8.4 to 12.9%. Zein and glutelin were the main components occurring in near-equal quantities (except in the opaque-2 mutant). The overall amino acid distribution was similar to that of maize grown in other countries. Lysine levels were relatively low, and it was the first nutritionally limiting amino acid, except in the opaque-2 cultivar, tryptophan being the second one. The digestibility ranged from 87.5 to 91.1%.  相似文献

A survey for the presence of ochratoxin A (OTA) was undertaken from 2001 to 2005 in 188 samples of sweet wines produced in Spain and in 102 samples originating from other countries: France (n = 49), Austria (9), Chile (9), Portugal (9), Greece (6), Italy (5), Germany (3), Hungary (2), Slovenia (2), Switzerland (2), Canada (1), Japan (1), New Zealand (1), Ukraine (1), South Africa (1) and the USA (1). The analytical method was based on immunoaffinity chromatography clean-up and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. The limit of detection (defined as a signal-noise ratio = 3) was estimated to be 0.01 µg l-1. The limit of quantification (0.02 µg l-1) was checked as being the lowest measurable concentration. OTA was detected in 281 out of 290 samples analysed (96.9% positive) at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 4.63 µg l-1. The overall mean and median levels were estimated to be 0.50 and 0.14 µg l-1, respectively. In Spanish sweet wines OTA was found in 99% of the samples, with mean and median values of 0.65 and 0.19 µg l-1, respectively. The mean value obtained in this study for OTA in the Spanish sweet wines would result in an intake of about 37.5 and 3.2 ng day-1 of OTA for regular consumers and for the overall population, respectively. These figures represent a minor contribution to the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) or TWI established by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority: 3.8 and 3.1% for regular consumers; and 0.4 and 0.3% for the whole adult population, respectively.  相似文献

Experiments were conducted to verify differences in agronomic traits and susceptibility to the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, in the field and in traditional maize storage systems between two international improved varieties, which have not been readily accepted by farmers in the Republic of Benin, one partially improved local variety and a local variety obtained from farmers. Factors responsible for differences in susceptibility and suitable screening methods for resistance to the maize weevil were also studied. In the first part of this study the varieties were compared in the field, during field drying and when stored using traditional techniques. The international improved varieties had significantly higher grain yield (60%) but had significantly poorer husk cover. The percentage of damaged ears following field drying, and the numbers of storage pests and grain weight loss after one month of storage were significantly higher in the international improved varieties presumably as a result of poorer husk cover.

In the second part of this study the varieties were compared in a factorial arrangement of three storage forms (undehusked, dehusked and shelled grain) and two infestation methods (free and no-choice). Due to their superior husk cover quality, Benin varieties were significantly more resistant to weevils when infested in the traditional, undehusked storage form than international improved varieties. The smaller-grain, flinty, Benin varieties showed a significantly smaller number of F1 generation weevils. A significant lengthening of the median development period (MDP) of weevils was observed when maize was stored as dehusked ears compared to shelled grain, particularly on the international improved varieties. No improved vs Benin variety comparisons interacted with free vs no-choice comparisons except for index of susceptibility in the undehusked storage form. Free choice infestations resulted in increased experimental error for number of F1 weevils, presumably due to a clumped distribution of female weevils during oviposition. When the target farmer's storage system is undehusked ears, it is suggested to use no-choice infestation of undehusked ears as a screening method for elite candidate varieties. An assessment of husk quality and no-choice infestation of shelled grain and/or dehusked maize ears is suggested as more appropriate for preliminary screening of diverse germplasm.  相似文献

From previous observations concerned with the qualitative and quantitative evolution of protein groups in developing maize (Zea mays L.) grain, it may be deduced that the amount per grain of any amino acid incorporated into the proteins is linearly related to the amount of true protein in the grain. In this study, such a linear relationship is characterised quantitatively from experimental data by regressing the individual amino acid against the total protein accumulated in the developing grain of both normal (+) and opaque-2 (o2) maize. The linear least squares regression on total nitrogen content in the grain is also used for specifying the quantitative variations of any free and protein-incorporated amino acid in the grain. The slope Bj of the regression line represents the relative rate of accumulation of amino acid (j) in grain protein (or nitrogen) and its limiting content in protein (or nitrogen) of a grain which accumulates a large amount of it. Bj, which is compared to the amount of amino acid (j) present in the protein of immature grains, or of mature endosperm, or germ, is close to the amount of amino acid (j) present in the protein of mature endosperm. The same holds for the Bj value determined from opaque-2 maize and which differs from the amount of Bj determined using the normal variety for many amino acids. Using experimental data reported in the literature, a linear relationship has also been found in describing quantitative variations of amino acid in the developing grain of normal and Hiproly barley.  相似文献

The upper five internodes were collected from maize (Zea mays L) inbred cell lines Co 125 and W401 harvested at the same developmental stage, 5 days after silking. Each internode was dissected into ten equal lengths labelled A (top) to J (base). The youngest cells were found in section J, which contained the intercalary meristem, and the oldest in section A. Internodes 1, 3 and 5 provided material for chemical analysis and internodes 2 and 4 for degradability measurements. Cell wall material accounted for one-third of dry matter in section J, doubling to two-thirds in the upper half of each internode. Only section J exhibited a polysaccharide profile typical of primary cell walls. In all other sections, 1,4-linked glucose (± 46% of cell wall) and xylan largely free from side chains (± 25% of cell wall) predominated. Net accretion of cell wall polysaccharide reached a maximum by segment G and thereafter little additional carbohydrate was deposited. Lignification appeared to be separated from the biogenesis of structural carbohydrate and continued over much of each internode reaching a maximum in section C. Degradability measurements, made using a modified neutral-detergent cellulase digestibility method, showed substantial differences between sections. In line Co 125, cell wall degradability fell from over 95% in the youngest section (J) to approximately 24% in section B. Internode 4 of line W401 failed to show the same pattern of degradabilities, probably because of a sequential rather than simultaneous pattern of internode elongation. Saponifiable p-coumaric acid appeared to provide a more sensitive marker than lignin of the extent of secondary wall development. The inverse relationship between extent of lignification in each section and its degradability confirmed the value of the internode model for the study of secondary wall formation and its biological consequences.  相似文献
