The aim of the study was to determine the effect of controlled micro-oxygenation on the fermentation process of two types of white wine (ʻPinot Blancʼ and ʻPinot Grisʼ). The wine was micro-oxygenated during fermentation and maturation. During fermentation, the antioxidant activity was monitored by the DPPH method and the ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen content of the amino acids and the number of cells in 1 mL of fermenting must were also monitored. In micro-oxygenated wine, the growth of cell mass in the first third of the fermentation was recorded and showed an increase in ammonia nitrogen consumption compared to the control experiment. During fermentation, a slight increase in antioxidant activity was observed in the micro-oxygenated wine. For the aromatic profile measured by GC analysis, a higher content of aromatics, mainly esters, was observed in the micro-oxygenated wine. This was also present in the sensory evaluation.

Tempeh is the main type of traditional Indonesian food that is processed from soybeans fermented by Rhizopus microsporus. This study aims to measure the antioxidant activity of some kind tempeh using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Measurement of antioxidant activity toward tempeh took directly from the producer, tempeh produced on a laboratory scale using Rhizopus spp., Bacillus spp., and Klebsiella sp. K110, tempeh fried and steamed, and tempeh during the fermentation stage. The results showed that the fermentation process soybeans into soybean increase antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of tempeh from producers varies between approximately 52-70%. It is because of tempeh fermented at uncontrol conditions so that the microorganisms involved in the fermentation time is also uncontrol. Potential microorganisms vary in determining antioxidant activity. In the group of Rhizopus spp. (ATH 35, ATH 24, ATH 53), it showed that the highest antioxidant activity was found in ATH 35 (84%). In the group of Bacillus spp. the highest antioxidant activity produced by B. megaterium (76%) and higher than the Klebsiella sp. K110 (75%). Thus, the fermented soybeans into tempeh increase antioxidant activity. The existence of the antioxidant activity of tempeh was affected by strains of microorganisms involved during fermentation and processing time that will be consumed.

Flavonoid, polyphenols, especially catechin and epicatechin,are major components in cocoa products, which are known for antioxidant properties. Cocoa bean requires fermentation process in order to obtain good taste. During the fermentation process, polyphenols are oxidized by polyphenol oxidase to form quinone and 2-quinon. The purpose of the research is to determine the total level of polyphenol and antioxidant activity of fermented and roasted cocoa beans. The experiment was using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with fermentation treatment that includes: Without fermentation, three-day fermentation and five-day fermentation. Observation parameters include: Polyphenol level and antioxidant activity with DPPH method. The results showed that the total phenol level of cocoa bean changed during fermentation and after roasting. The highest phenol level was found in cocoa beans without fermentation, and there is a decrease of phenol level to 98% after fermentation and roasting. The fermentation affects the Inhibition Concentration (IC50) of cocoa beans. An unfermented bean showed a very strongly active antioxidant activity with IC50 of 7.848 ppm, whereas three-day fermentation showed a strong antioxidant activity with IC50 of 35.961 ppm, and five-day fermentation is moderately active with IC50 of 55.976 ppm.

Background: P. mucronata (Pm) comes from South America, Brazil and is characterized as “Maracujá de Restinga”. It is used in folk medicine for its soothing properties and in treating insomnia. Objective: The present study for the first time analyzed the antioxidant and cytotoxicity of the hydroalcoholic leaves extract and fractions from Pm. Method: The cytotoxicity test will be evaluated by different assays (MTT and CV) against human prostate cancer (PC3) and mouse malignant melanoma (B16F10) cell lines, and the antioxidant test by DPPH method. Results: β-Amyrin, oleanolic acid, β-sitosterol and stigmasterol were isolated of the most active, hexane fraction. These substances were tested against the tumor cell lines: β-sitosterol and stigmasterol showed the most relevant activity to PC3 in CV assay and, oleanolic acid to B16F10 by the MTT assay. In addition, it was possible to indicate that the mode of cell death for stigmasterol, presumably is apoptosis. In terms of antioxidant activity, the hydroalcoholic leaves extract presented higher activity (EC50 133.3 µg/mL) compared to the flower (EC50 152.3 µg/mL) and fruit (EC50 207.9 µg/mL) extracts. By the HPLC-MS, it was possible to identify the presence of flavones in the leaf extract (isoschaftoside, schaftoside, isovitexin, vitexin, isoorientin, orientin). Conclusions: P. mucronata hexane fraction showed promising cytotoxic effect against cancer cell lines, and stigmasterol contributes to this activity, inducing apoptosis of these cells. Furthermore, as other Passiflora species, Pm extract showed antioxidant activity and flavones are its major phenolic compounds.

Pineapple peel still contains an important amount of phenolic compounds and vitamins with valuable antioxidant activity. In this way, the aim of this study was the recovery of the bioactive compounds from pineapple peel using environmentally friendly and low-cost techniques, envisaging their application in food products. From the solid-liquid extraction conditions tested, the one delivering an extract with higher total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity was a single extraction step with a solvent-pineapple peel ratio of 1:1 (w/w) for 25 min at ambient temperature, using ethanol-water (80–20%) as a solvent. The resulting extract revealed a total phenolic content value of 11.10 ± 0.01 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g dry extract, antioxidant activity of 91.79 ± 1.98 µmol Trolox/g dry extract by the DPPH method, and 174.50 ± 9.98 µmol Trolox/g dry extract by the FRAP method. The antioxidant rich extract was subjected to stabilization by the spray drying process at 150 °C of inlet air temperature using maltodextrin (5% w/w) as an encapsulating agent. The results showed that the antioxidant capacity of the encapsulated compounds was maintained after encapsulation. The loaded microparticles obtained, which consist of a bioactive powder, present a great potential to be incorporated in food products or to produce bioactive packaging systems.

AbstractRecently, edible flowers (EF) have aroused increased interest because of their aesthetic properties as well as potential health benefits related to the occurrence of some bioactive compounds. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the total phenolics, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity (AOA) (following DPPH and ABTS methods) in eleven EF. The samples were subjected to three successive extraction steps using methanol, and these extracts were then analysed for the aforementioned properties using spectrophotometric methods. The obtained extracts were used for the quantification of phenolic composition and AOA. The results indicated that, among the flowers analysed in this study, red rose, pink rose, and red carnation possessed the highest total phenolic contents (27.53, 23.30, and 18.17 mg g−1 gallic acid equivalents, respectively), total anthocyanins (3.07, 1.97, and 4.47 mg g−1 catechin equivalents [CE], respectively), and AOA (12.07, 15.77, and 12.93 mg g−1 TE, respectively, as given by the DPPH method or 8.23, 9.27 and 8.00 mg g−1 TE, respectively, as given by the ABTS method). The flowers with highest flavonoids contents were red carnation, Mexican marigold, and pink rose (17.50, 16.90, and 16.57 mg g−1 CE, respectively). Cluster analysis grouped the analysed flowers into two groups, those richest in phenolics with AOA and those not so rich. Finally, some important correlations were observed between the total phenolics and the AOA. In conclusion, these flowers could represent a potential source of natural compounds with antioxidant capacity.
