Phytochemical Contents and Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Activities of Selected Black and White Sesame Seeds

Sesame (Sesamum indicumL.) seeds are popular nutritional food but with limited knowledge about their antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of various varieties. Phytochemical profiles and antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of six varieties of sesame (Sesamum indicumL.) seeds were studied.Fenheizhi3(black) cultivar exhibited the maximum contents of total phenolics and lignans and values of total oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and antiproliferative activity (EC50) against HepG2 cells. Bound ORAC values showed strong associations with bound phenolics contents (r=0.976,p<0.01); in bound phenolic extracts, EC50values showed strong negative associations with phenolic contents (r=-0.869,p<0.05) and ORAC values (r=-0.918,p<0.01). Moreover, the contents of free phenolics were higher than that of the bound phenolics, and the three black sesame seeds generally depicted higher total phenolics compared to the three white varieties. The antioxidant (ORAC values) and antiproliferation activities of six sesame seeds were both associated with contents of bound phenolics (r>0.8,p<0.05). Interestingly, nonlignan components in bound phenolics contributed to the antioxidant and antiproliferative activities. This study suggested thatFenheizhi3variety is superior to the other five varieties as antioxidant supplements.

Therapeutic Properties

Tila (Sesamum indicum L.) consists of dried seeds of Sesamum indicum Linn. (Fam, Pedaliaceae), a rich source of edible oil. It is belonging to the family Pedaliaceaeis cultivated throughout the plains of India. Most of the oils used in Ayurvedic medicines has sesame oil as a base. Sesame was a major oilseed in the ancient world because of its ease of abstraction, its great stability, and its drought resistance. Sesame seeds have an excellent nutritional value. The seeds are especially high in copper, manganese, calcium, and magnesium. Tila is having Guru, Snigdha guna, madhu rasa, ushna veerya and having Madhur Vipak. The Bhavaprakasha Nighantu de- scribes three types of Tila seeds, viz., black, white and red. Black and white among white variety sesame seeds contain more quantity of lignin compounds. The black sesame seeds are rich in B vitamins and iron. It is also rich in calcium and zinc. These minerals help to support healthy bones, muscles, blood, and nervous system.

In this study, the phytochemical profiles, total and cellular antioxidant activities of five different Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima BL.) cultivars were analyzed. Phenolics, flavonoids as well as phytochemical compounds in five cultivars of chestnut kernels were determined. Results showed that the free forms played a dominant role in total phenolics, flavonoids and antioxidant activities of all five cultivars of chestnut kernels. The cultivar ‘Fyou’ showed the highest total and free phenolic contents, ‘Heguoyihao’ showed the highest total and free flavonoids contents, and ‘Chushuhong’ showed the highest total and cellular antioxidant activities. Eight phenolic compounds were detected, and chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, and quercetin were shown as three predominant components in all five cultivars. These results provide valuable information which may be a guidance for selection of good chestnut variety to be used as functional food.

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.

Osmotic dehydration is an effective pretreatment method for preservation of herb, fruits and vegetables. This method can be conducted at low temperature so it can maintain the nutritional composition and food quality. In the present study, the effect of osmotic dehydration in 50, 60 and 70o Brix sugar solution at 40oC syrup temperature and drying air temperature (50, 60, 70 oC) on drying behavior of sample (adlay and black sesame seeds) were investigated before drying the sample and determined the percentage yield and total phenolic contents. All results from osmotic dehydration were compared with the soxhlet and maceration extraction methods. Among the three concentration of osmotic agents and drying temperature, percentage yield and total phenolic contents were higher at 70% concentration of osmotic agents and 60 oC air temperature which exhibited the total phenolic contents at 11.29±1.13 mg GAE/g extract and percentage yield of 4.36±0.34, respectively. From this osmotic dehydration, the surface morphologies of prepared bead containing sample had higher degree of surface smoothness and more spherical shape than non-sample bead and exhibited the encapsulation efficiency of micro-bead sample at 80.52 ± 0.36%.

Bound Phenolics

 Chrysopogon gryllus and Festuca vallesiaca are components of a number of meadow-pasture communities in Serbia. We performed the analyses of phenolics that influence quality and digestibility of grasses to a great extent. Total phenolics were measured spectrophotometrically and phenolic acids by HPLC analysis. The aboveground parts of C. gryllus contained 10.6 mg/g whereas F. vallesiaca of 21.6 mg/g total phenolics. Bound phenolics dominated over free ones in both species. The content of both free and bound p-coumaric, ferulic, p-hydroxybenzoic and syringic acid was higher in C. gryllus (6.34 mg/g) than in F. vallesiaca (3.96 mg/g). Derivatives of cinnamic acid prevailed in both species compared to the benzoic acid derivatives. Low quality of C. gryllus is connected with its high tissue phenolic acids and mediocre quality of F. vallesiaca with the high content of total phenolics that act unfavourably on digestibility of such grasses.
