Antiproliferative and antioxidant activities of common vegetables: A comparative study

Epidemiological studies have consistently linked abundant consumption of fruits and vegetables to a reduction of the risk of developing several types of cancer. In most cases, however, the identification of specific fruits and vegetables that are responsible for these effects is still lacking, retarding the implementation of effective dietary-based chemopreventive approaches. As a first step towards the identification of foods endowed with the most potent chemopreventive activities, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of extracts isolated from 34 vegetables on the proliferation of 8 different tumour cell lines. The extracts from cruciferous vegetables as well as those from vegetables of the genus Allium inhibited the proliferation of all tested cancer cell lines whereas extracts from vegetables most commonly consumed in Western countries were much less effective. The antiproliferative effect of vegetables was specific to cells of cancerous origin and was found to be largely independent of their antioxidant properties. These results thus indicate that vegetables have very different inhibitory activities towards cancer cells and that the inclusion of cruciferous and Allium vegetables in the diet is essential for effective dietary-based chemopreventive strategies.     

Combining quality and antioxidant attributes in the strawberry: The role of genotype

The nutritional value of fruit has been widely studied and is demanded by consumers, especially for protection against cardiovascular disorder, cancer and other diseases, as well as for general health benefits. These benefits can also be ascribed to the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of fruit.Fruit nutritional quality can be described by a standard quality parameter and the analyses of nutritional parameters, such as antioxidant capacity (and specific related compounds). In this study, firmness, colour, soluble solids content and titratable acidity were considered as quality parameters and TAC and total phenolic content as nutritional parameters. All these attributes were screened in 20 strawberry genotypes (cultivars and selections) for the selection of new improved genetic material (offspring) originating from different cross combinations, including an F1 Fragaria virginiana spp. glauca among parents.Results indicate that the effect of the genotype on strawberry nutritional quality is stronger than that of the cultivation conditions. However, commercial cultivation did not show a high range of variation of fruit nutritional quality, particularly for the nutritional parameters.The study of offspring originating from different cross combinations showed that fruit nutritional quality can be considered an inheritable trait and that the variability of fruit nutritional quality among commercial cultivars can be improved by breeding.Finally, results demonstrate the role of F. virginiana spp. glauca as an important genetic source of the fruit nutritional quality.     

Antioxidant capacity of caseinophosphopeptides prepared from sodium caseinate using Alcalase

The antioxidant capacity of caseinophosphopeptide prepared at different pH from casein hydrolysate with Alcalase was evaluated using oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), reduction capacity and metal chelating activity. The yield of CPP production was dependent on the pH of supernatant from pH 4.6 clarified Alcalase hydrolysate of sodium caseinate. CPP of pH 3 had higher content of cysteine, aspartic acid, glycine, histidine, proline, tyrosine, and leucine, and less content of glutamic acid, serine, and isoleucine than those of other pH. The phosphate contents of all CPP were relatively similar, 5.0–5.4% (w/w) except at pH 3. The ORAC against peroxyl radical (ORACROO${\text{ORAC}}_{{\text{ROO}}^{\text{<glyph name="rad"></glyph>}}}$) of CPP decreased with increasing pH (3–8) in concentrations tested and was positively correlated with its reduction capacity. The ORAC against hydroxyl radical (ORACOH${\text{ORAC}}_{{\text{OH}}^{\text{<glyph name="rad"></glyph>}}}$) of CPP at 50 μg/ml increased with increasing pH to 7 and then decreased, and its metal chelating activity on ferrous ion increased linearly with increasing pH from 3 to 5, then slowly increased until pH 8, indicating that the ORACOH${\text{ORAC}}_{{\text{OH}}^{\text{<glyph name="rad"></glyph>}}}$ activity of CPP might be attributed to the scavenging activity on hydroxyl radical itself as well as the chelating activity of transition metals.

Antioxidant activity of microwave-assisted extract of longan (Dimocarpus Longan Lour.) peel

The longan (Dimocarpus Longan Lour.) peel was extracted with 95% ethanol employing microwave-assisted extraction and Soxhlet extraction method, the total phenolic content of microwave-assisted extract of Langan peel (MEL) and Soxhlet extract of Langan peel (SEL) reached 96.78 mg/g and 90.35 mg/g dry weight, respectively, expressed as pyrocatechol equivalents, which were quantified using Folin–Ciocalteu reagent. Subsequently, antioxidant properties of two extracts were investigated employing various established systems in vitro including 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, hydroxyl radical scavenging assay using a new resonance scattering (RS) method, reducing power and total antioxidant capacity. MEL and SEL showed excellent antioxidant in all test systems compared to synthetic antioxidant 2,6-di-ter-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) and the antioxidant activities of MEL were all superior to those of SEL. Furthermore, the suitability of MEL and SEL as substitute of BHT were determined in peanut oil, and the decrease of lipid oxidation were monitored using thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) assay. MEL and SEL treatment significantly (P < 0.05) reduced lipid oxidation in peanut oil compared to the control. No significant differences (P=0.05)$P=0.05)$ in lipid oxidation were detected between MEL, SEL and BHT samples of peanut oil.

Phenolic content and antioxidant activity of cantaloupe (cucumis melo) methanolic extracts

The objectives of this study were to determine phenolic content and antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts from different parts of cantaloupe (leaf, stem, skin, seed and flesh). The flesh extract afforded the highest yield (89.6 ± 0.3%) whilst the lowest yield was obtained from the seed (13.7 ± 0.5%) (p < 0.05). The leaf extract showed the highest total phenolic content (26.4 ± 0.3 mg GAE/g extract) and total flavonoid content (69.7 ± 3.37 μg RE/g extract) accompanied with best antioxidant activity through all antioxidant assays (p < 0.05). In addition, the stem extract also exhibited good antioxidant activity. Thus, these results suggest that methanolic extracts of cantaloupe leaf and stem may serve as a potential source of natural antioxidant for food and nutraceutical application.     

Evaluation of antioxidant potential in selected green leafy vegetables

Green leafy vegetables represent a class of underexploited plants that are stipulated to be rich sources of natural antioxidants. A fundamental study of free radical-scavenging activity in four plant species, namely Trigonella foenum-graecum, Centella asiatica, Sauropus androgynus and Pisonia alba, was carried out by measuring the ability of methanol extracts of these plants to scavenge radicals generated by in vitro systems and by their ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation. The levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants were also determined by standard spectrophotometric methods. Correlation and regression analysis established a positive correlation between some of these antioxidants and the in vitro free radical-scavenging activity of the plant extracts. The conclusions drawn from the study indicate that in vivo studies, isolation and analysis of individual bioactive components will reveal the crucial role that these plants may play in several therapeutic formulations.     

Polyphenols content and antioxidant capacity of thirteen faba bean (Vicia faba L.) genotypes cultivated in Tunisia

In vitro antioxidant capacity of thirteen genotypes of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) collected during three different growing stages (vegetative, reproductive and maturity) have been evaluated. For the vegetative stage (VS) and reproductive stage (RS) the whole plant (WP) has been used for the analysis while for the maturity stage (MS) the plant was divided and analyzed in different parts, the whole seed (WS), seed coat (SC), cotyledons (Cot) and pod (Pod). The antioxidant capacity has been evaluated by means of the total phenolic and total flavonoid contents (TPC and TFC respectively), the ferric-reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging assays. The results showed different antioxidant properties for the same genotype when considering the different parts or stages of the plant. High content of both total phenolics (> 92.85 mg as gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g of dried plant) and flavonoids contents (> 11.87 mg as rutin equivalent (RE)/g of dried plant) were found for all genotypes during the vegetative and the reproductive stages, which also showed the highest antioxidant activity (FRAP value ≥ 1.157 mmol/g and DPPH radical-scavenging capacity > 43.49%), indicating their potential as natural sources of antioxidant foods. For the maturity stage, the highest values for the TPC, TFC, FRAP and DPPH scavenging capacity were observed for the pods and the lowest for the cotyledons.The results of this study indicate that faba beans are a good source of natural antioxidants independently to their genotype. The quantification of the antioxidant capacity according to the stage and the plant part could be suitable for applications on the food industry in relation to production and preservation of faba bean food products.     

Total phenolic content and DPPH radical scavenging activity of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) grown in Colorado

Total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity of lettuce were evaluated using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and DPPH assay, respectively, on 25 cultivars of lettuce, including leaf, romaine, crisphead, and butterhead types, cultivated over two harvest periods. Leaf lettuce possessed the highest TPC and highest DPPH scavenging ability, followed by romaine, butterhead and Batavia (crisphead subtype). Within a lettuce type, red pigmented lettuce cultivars had higher TPC and antioxidant capacity than did green cultivars grown under the same conditions. In addition, lettuce harvested in July possessed higher TPC and antioxidant capacity than did lettuce harvested in September, suggesting that environmental conditions could influence the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of lettuce. These results suggest that Colorado grown lettuce may serve as potential dietary sources of natural phenolic antioxidants.     

Phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of six diverse varieties of whole wheat

The phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of six diverse varieties of whole wheat are reported. The free phenolic content ranged from 255 (KanQueen) to 499 (Roane) μmol gallic acid equivalents/100 g DW. The bound phenolic content ranged from 582 (Roane) to 662 (Cham1) μmol gallic acid equivalents/100 g DW. The bound fraction contributed 53.8–69.7% of the total phenolic content of the wheat varieties analysed. Ferulic acid was the predominant phenolic acid found in whole wheat. Total ferulic acid content ranged from 310.8 (Caledonia) to 496.1 (KanQueen) μmol ferulic acid/100 g DW. The percentage of ferulic acid found in the insoluble-bound fraction ranged from 87.4% (Caledonia) to 97.2% (KanQueen). Other phenolic acids, p-coumaric acid, syringic acid, vanillic acid, and caffeic acid were also detected. Lutein was the predominant carotenoid found in the whole wheat varieties analysed. Zeaxanthin, β-carotene, and β-cryptoxanthin were also detected. Mainly α- and β-tocopherols and α- and β-tocotrienols were found in all varieties of whole wheat though γ-tocopherol was detected in all but two varieties. β-Tocotrienol was the predominant form of vitamin E found in all varieties of whole wheat. The antioxidant activity was assessed using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. The ORAC of the free fraction ranged from 1958 to 3749 μmol Trolox equivalents/100 g DW. The ORAC of the bound fraction ranged from 3190 to 5945 μmol Trolox equivalents/100 g DW. Total phenolic content was correlated with oxygen radical absorbance capacity (R² = 0.810; p < 0.001). The phytochemicals found in whole grains may be responsible for the health benefit of whole grain consumption.     

油茶粕中黄酮化合物的分离鉴定及抗氧化性研究

为了探索油茶粕中黄酮化合物的分子组成及其抗氧化活性,本研究运用优化的分离纯化方法对油茶粕中黄酮进行粗提和HZ816大孔吸附树脂富集纯化,然后再经硅胶柱对其黄酮化合物层析,得到2种黄酮化合物,分别记为化合物Ⅰ和化合物Ⅱ。随后利用核磁共振、质谱、红外和紫外光谱对上述分离得到的2种黄酮化合物进行结构鉴定。结果表明:这2种物质分别为山奈酚3-O-[2-O-β-D-木糖-6-O-α-L-鼠李糖]-β-D-葡萄糖苷（化合物Ⅰ）和山奈酚3-O-[2-O-β-D-半乳糖-6-O-α-L-鼠李糖]-β-D-葡萄糖苷（化合物Ⅱ）。对分离的黄酮化合物采用1,1-二苯基-3-硝基苯肼自由基清除法（DPPH法）、邻苯三酚自氧化法在体外进行抗氧化实验,结果显示总黄酮、化合物Ⅰ和化合物Ⅱ清除DPPH自由基半抑制浓度(IC₅₀)分别为0.44、1.88、2.41 mg/m L,清除超氧阴离子IC₅₀分别为1.38、1.13、1.29 mg/m L。      

Anti-oxidative analysis,and identification and quantification of anthocyanin pigments in different coloured rice

Anthocyanin pigments in coloured rice cultivars were isolated and identified using high-performance liquid chromatography techniques. Two black rice cultivars (Asamurasaki, Okunomurasaki) contained three major anthocyanins: cyanidin-3-glucoside, peonidin-3-glucoside and malvidin. Chinakuromai (black) rice additionally contained a fourth anthocyanin, petunidin-3-glucoside. Four red rice cultivars contained only malvidin. The total anthocyanin content varied greatly among black rice cultivars (79.5–473.7 mg/100 g), but was lower in red rice (7.9–34.4 mg/100 g). Total phenolic content was similar between red (460.32–725.69 mg/100 g) and black (417.11–687.24 mg/100 g) rice. The oxygen radical absorbing capacity was ranked as follows: red (69.91–130.32 μmol Trolox/g) > black (55.49–64.85 μmol Trolox/g) > green (35.32 μmol Trolox/g) > white (21.81 μmol Trolox/g) rice. The antioxidant capacity resulted mainly from the seed capsule, not the endosperm. The anthocyanin pigments contributed little to the total antioxidant capacity of red (0.03–0.1%) and black (0.5–2.5%) rice cultivars. Hence, the antioxidant capacity is derived mainly from other phenolic compounds.

榨前微波处理对油茶粕活性成分及抗氧化性的影响

通过不同微波功率和时间辐射油茶籽,测定油茶粕中茶皂素、蛋白质、粗多糖、总酚、糠氨酸含量以及DPPH自由基清除能力的变化规律,研究榨前微波处理对油茶粕活性成分及抗氧化性的影响。结果表明:随微波加热时间延长,低功率(245、420 W)微波处理油茶籽后,油茶粕中茶皂素含量稍有上升,随后下降;较高功率(560、700 W)微波处理后,茶皂素含量呈上升趋势;微波处理对油茶粕中蛋白质含量影响不大;微波处理后油茶粕中粗多糖含量整体呈下降趋势,但420、560、700 W处理20、5、10 min后含量分别比初始升高66.9%、79.6%和116.0%;微波处理后油茶粕中总酚含量呈先降低后升高再降低的趋势,且微波功率越高,总酚含量越高;微波功率较低(245 W)时,糠氨酸含量先降低后略有升高,微波功率较高(420、560、700 W)时,糠氨酸含量先升高后降低。245 W和700 W微波功率处理时油茶粕对DPPH自由基清除率先升高后降低,560 W时呈整体上升趋势,420 W呈波动状态。     

Fruit‐based functional foods II: the process for identifying potential ingredients

Developing functional food products requires a structured approach for screening potential ingredients. Using the development of a product with antioxidant properties as a model, eight fruit juice concentrates were screened, including New Zealand fruits. The total phenolic content and the antioxidant capacity, using chemical‐based assays (ferric reducing antioxidant power and oxygen radical absorbance capacity assays), were determined. The potential to protect against oxidative stress in Jurkat cells was also determined. Results indicate that the total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity in chemical‐based assays were strongly correlated. However, the total phenolic content did not dictate the level of protection from oxidative stress in this cell‐based model, suggesting that the type of phenolic compounds present and interactions between them may be important, although the activity of other compounds, such as vitamin C or carotenoids, may also be implicated. This model for screening ingredients may be used to design synergistic combinations of ingredients, and results may provide supportive evidence in the development of functional foods for this and other health targets.
