Antioxidant capacity of different fractions of vegetables and correlation with the contents of ascorbic acid, phenolics, and flavonoids

The antioxidant capacity of different fractions of 17 vegetables were analyzed using ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP assay) after water and acetone extractions. The contents of ascorbic acid, phenolics, and flavonoids were determined and their correlations with FRAP value were investigated. The results showed that the peel or leaf fractions of vegetables were stronger than the pulp or stem fractions in antioxidant capacity based on total FRAP value. Lotus root peel was the highest and cucumber pulp the lowest in total FRAP value among the vegetable fractions analyzed. All water extracts were higher in FRAP value than the acetone extracts. The FRAP value was significantly correlated with the contents of ascorbic acid, phenolics, or flavonoids in water extracts, in which the phenolics contributed most based on multivariate regression analysis. We conclude that different vegetable fractions were remarkably different in antioxidant capacity. The phenolics are responsible mostly for the antioxidant capacity of vegetables in vitro.     

Polyphenols contents and antioxidant capacity of 68 Chinese herbals suitable for medical or food uses

The present study estimated in vitro antioxidant activities of 68 common Chinese herbals both for medical and food uses, using Folin–Ciocalteu, ferric-reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging assays. The results showed different extraction had various antioxidant properties. Six plant materials including Chinese White Olive, Clove, Pricklyash Peel, Villous Amomum Fruit, Chinese Star Anise and Pagodatree Flower appeared highest total phenolics (>45 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g) and flavonoids content (>45 mg rutin equivalents (RE)/g), which also showed highest antioxidant activity (FRAP value > 2.5 mmol/g, DPPH radical-scavenging capacity > 85%), indicating they have potentials for use as natural sources of antioxidant foods. The total phenolics content of these 68 plant extracts was significantly positively correlated (r² = 0.9467) with their antioxidant capacity. Therefore, the content of phenolic compounds could be used as an important indicator of its antioxidant capacity.

At stage of GM, the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and AOC in peel were the highest, and then rapidly decreased after WM. Meanwhile TPC and AOC in pulp reached a peak value in WM then declined, but TFC declined slowly during maturity.     

Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant Activities of 11 Celery Cultivars

ABSTRACT:  Eleven cultivars of celery, belonging to 2 species, were collected and analyzed for their phenolic compound composition and antioxidant activities. Major phenolic acids identified in the extracts of these celeries were caffeic acid,  p -coumaric acid, and ferulic acid, while the identified flavonoids were apigenin, luteolin, and kaempferol. The contents of total phenolics were measured using a Folin–Ciocalteu assay and the total antioxidant capacity was estimated by the 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and 2, 2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS·⁺) methods. Apigenin was the major flavonoid in these samples and the most abundant phenolic acid was  p- coumaric acid. Many of the investigated cultivars had high levels of phenolics and exhibited high antioxidant capacity. Among these 11 cultivars, Shengjie celery had the highest antioxidant activity whereas Tropica had the lowest. An extremely significant positive correlation between the antioxidant activity and the contents of total flavonoids, total phenolic acids, or total phenolics was observed in this study.

研究自然干制和热风干制对红枣中的酚类化合物及其抗氧化活性的影响。测定红枣干制前后其总酚含量、总黄酮含量、原花青素含量、DPPH自由基清除能力及总抗氧化能力的变化。结果表明：红枣经干制后酚类化合物含量显著下降,总黄酮含量变化不明显,但经热风干制后其原花青素含量显著升高。红枣的总抗氧化活性与总黄酮和原花青素含量相关性较小,而与酚类化合物相关性较大。经热风干制和自然干制的红枣总抗氧化活性间无显著性差异,但热风干制所需时间短,制得的红枣香味浓,因此建议采用热风干制法干制红枣。     

Influence of Different Extraction Media on Phenolic Contents and Antioxidant Capacity of Defatted Dabai (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Canarium odontophyllum</Emphasis>) Fruit

Dabai (Canarium odontophyllum) is a potential “functional fruit”. Future commercialization of dabai fat as healthy oil may result in the accumulation of defatted dabai as a by-product. This study was carried out to determine the total phenolics and antioxidant capacity of defatted dabai parts as a new source of functional food and nutraceutical ingredient. In this study, defatted dabai parts were extracted using different extraction media (methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, and water) and analyzed for total phenolics, total flavonoids, total anthocyanins, and antioxidant capacity (ABTS⁺ radical scavenging and ferric-reducing antioxidant power assays) using spectrophotometric and high-performance liquid chromatography methods. Major phenolics in defatted dabai peel extracted using methanol were catechin and epigallocatechin while in water extract, major phenolic acid was ellagic acid. Defatted dabai peel also had higher anthocyanidin content than its pulp. The peel of a defatted dabai fruit extracted using methanol contained a high total phenolics and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC). Ethyl acetate extract of defatted dabai parts had the least phenolics compared in ethanol and acetone extracts. Higher total phenolics and TEAC values were observed in water extract of a defatted dabai peel than ethanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate extracts. Hence, methanol extract of a defatted dabai peel could probably be used as a natural antioxidant.

ANTIOXIDANTS IN ONION (ALLIUM CEPA L) CULTIVARS GROWN IN INDIA

Health benefits of phenolics are prompting vegetable breeders to identify cultivars with enhanced functional properties. Ten onion cultivars grown under North Indian conditions were evaluated for their total phenolics, flavonoids, quercetin and total antioxidant activity for two consecutive years. Total phenolics, flavonoids and antioxidant activity exhibited significant variation ( P <  0.05) among cultivars. Red cultivars, namely Sel-383, N-53, Pusa red and Sel-402, constituted a high phenolic group, with a mean content higher than 100 mg/100 g gallic acid equivalents. Mean flavonoid content was highest in cultivars, Pusa red, Sel-402, H-44 and N-53 ( > 40 mg/100 g). White cultivars namely, Pusa white flat, Pusa white round and Early grano, consistently showed low phenolics, flavonoids and total antioxidant activity. Total antioxidant activity as determined by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) was highest in cultivars Sel-383, N-53, Pusa red and Sel-126. Over both consecutive years, phenolics correlated positively with total antioxidant activity ( R ²  =  0.95 FRAP and R ²  =  0.87 CUPRAC). Over all red cultivars, Sel-383 and Pusa red are promising cultivars for incorporation in existing breeding programs for the production of onions with high antioxidant content.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

Onion, being a major constituent of Indian diet, is a potential source of phenolics and flavonoids. Selection of the phenolic-rich cultivars, preferably the red ones with high antioxidant activity, can deliver a variety of health benefits. The breeders can use total phenolics and flavonoids as parameters to develop varieties with increased levels of target antioxidants.     

Phenolic profiles and antioxidant activity of litchi pulp of different cultivars cultivated in Southern China

The phenolic profiles and antioxidant activity of litchi pulp of 13 varieties were investigated. The free, bound and total phenolic contents were 66.17–226.03, 11.18–40.54, and 101.51–259.18 mg of gallic acid equivalents/100 g, respectively. The free, bound and total flavonoid contents were 16.68–110.33, 10.48–22.75, and 39.43–129.86 mg of catechin equivalents/100 g, respectively. Free phenolics and flavonoids contributed averagely 80.1% and 75% to their total contents, respectively. Six individual phenolics (gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, (+)-catechin, caffeic acid, (?)-epicatechin, and rutin) were detected in litchi pulp by HPLC. The contents of each compound in free and bound fractions were determined. Significant varietal discrepancy in antioxidant activity was also found by FRAP and DPPH scavenging capacity methods. Antioxidant activity was significantly correlated with phenolic and flavonoid contents. Thus, phenolics and flavonoids exist mainly in the free form in litchi pulp. There were significant varietal differences in phytochemical contents and antioxidant activity of litchi pulp.

Antioxidant capacity,total phenolics,glucosinolates and colour parameters of rapeseed cultivars

The antioxidant capacity of twenty nine rapeseed varieties was determined by using ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) methods. Mean FRAP (3190–6326 μmol Trolox/100 g) and DPPH (3194–6346 μmol Trolox/100 g) values for methanolic extracts of rapeseed cultivars did not differ significantly. Moreover, the total content of phenolics (756–1324 mg sinapic acid/100 g), glucosinolates (4.2–87.5 μmol/g, respectively), erucic acid (0.0–56.1%) and colour parameters of the studied rapeseed cultivars were analysed. Antioxidant capacity determined by FRAP and DPPH methods correlated significantly with total phenolic content (TPC) in rapeseed cultivars (r = 0.9332, 0.9339, p < 0.001). Also, significant, inverse correlations were found between antioxidant capacity, total phenolics and luminosity (L^∗) or red colour intensity (a^∗) of rapeseed cultivars. Principal component analysis (PCA) allowed the rapeseed varieties to be differentiated based on their antioxidant capacities, total amounts of phenolics, glucosinolates, erucic acid and colour parameters.
