Effects of genotype and treatment on the antioxidant activity of sweet potato in Taiwan

Six genotypes of sweet potato commercially available in Taiwan, including TNG57, TNG66, TNG68, TYY1, RP and WP, were used as samples in this study of the effects of steaming and kneading with pre-steaming treatments on the antioxidant components and antioxidant properties of methanolic extracts. Steam treatment increased the total phenols contents of all genotypes (2–13 times), flavonoids content of RP (1.3 times) and anthocyanins contents of RP and WP (5–6 times). Steam treatment also increased the reducing power and scavenging DPPH radical effect of sweet potato flours. For the methanolic extracts of steamed and kneaded flours, reducing powers were 0.02–1.70 at 5.0 mg ml⁻¹ and the scavenging effects on DPPH radicals were 19–92% at 2.5 mg ml⁻¹. Both showed the order of RP > WP > TYY1 and TNG66 > TNG57 and TNG68. However, the chelating effect of the six genotypes at 1.0 mg ml⁻¹ ranged from 50% to 73%. Contents of total phenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins of sweet potato flours were significantly positively correlated with the reducing power and scavenging DPPH radical effects. After steaming and kneading treatments, RP showed the highest increase in the contents of total phenols, flavonoids and anthocyanins among the six genotypes studied.

The amino acid composition,solubility and emulsifying properties of sweet potato protein

A protein was purified from the high-protein type sweet potato variety 55-2 available in China. The amino acid composition, solubility and emulsifying properties of the sweet potato protein (SPP) were studied. The SPP was rich in aspartic acid (18.5%) and glutamic acid (9.30%) while essential acid amino acids made up approximately 40.7% of the SPP. The SPP was highly soluble in distilled water over a wide range of pH. However, solubility of the SPP in 1.0 M NaCl and 1.0 M CaCl₂ solutions was low especially at pH below the pI of the SPP. The SPP in CaCl₂ demonstrated emulsifying activity index (EAI) and emulsion stability index (ESI) many folds higher than those in distilled water and NaCl solution (P < 0.05).

Antioxidant activity, browning and volatile Maillard compounds in Pedro Ximénez sweet wines under accelerated oxidative aging

Pedro Ximénez wine, aged by thermal treatment during 10, 20 and 30 days in the presence or absence of oak chips, was studied in terms of antioxidant activity, browning and volatile Maillard compounds. The phenolic fractions obtained by the SepPack tC-18 column revealed that the antioxidant activity after 10 days of thermal treatment was due to the presence of phenols and polar compounds possibly formed by the Maillard reaction. After 30 days, however, the antioxidant activity was also due to high-molecular weight procyanidins. Volatile Maillard compounds increased throughout the thermal treatment. It should be noted that there was an increase in the 5-ethoxymethylfurfural content and the presence of 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-2-one, which was recently shown to inhibit growth of colon tumor cells. The presence of oak chips had a substantial effect on the contents in volatile Maillard compounds after the thermal treatment with the exception of corylon. The wine obtained after 10 days of thermal treatment was judged to be the best in terms of sensory properties. In fact, it exhibited the optimum balance between varietal and aging aromas due to Maillard compounds.     

Brewing of glucuronic acid-enriched apple cider with enhanced antioxidant activities through the co-fermentation of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia kudriavzevii) and bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum)

Co-fermentation using yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia kudriavzevii) and the bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum) as starters isolated from spontaneous sourdough was conducted for the brewing of glucuronic acid (GlcA)-enriched apple cider. The concentration of GlcA in the apple cider co-fermented for 14 d with commercial S. cerevisiae and L. plantarum was 37.7 ± 1.7 mg/mL while a concentration of 62.8 ± 3.1 mg/mL was recorded for fermentation with P. kudriavzevii and L. plantarum, which was higher than the corresponding single yeast fermentation. The co-fermented apple cider revealed higher 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of 171.67 ± 0.79 µg trolox equivalents (TE)/mL using P. kudriavzevii and L. plantarum, compared to the control (143.89 ± 7.07 µg TE/mL) just using S. cerevisiae. Thus, the co-fermentation of S. cerevisiae and L. plantarum and P. kudriavzevii and L. plantarum provided a new strategy for the development of GlcA-enriched apple cider with enhanced antioxidant capacity.
