Olive stones are by-products in olive oil extraction and in table olive industries. Nonetheless, they contain beneficial nutritive elements such as fiber, phenolic compounds, and omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. In this research, olive stone powder (OSP) was used to substitute 0, 15, 25, and 35% of wheat flour in sponge cake recipe. The effects of this substitution were examined on the physiochemical and sensory properties of sponge cakes. The fiber content and the total phenolic compounds of the cake samples increased significantly from 0.67 to 8.60% and from 89.14 to 739.23 μg/ml, respectively, by increasing the OSP from 0 to 35%. With increased amounts of OSP, batter viscosity and consistency decreased (from 27430 to 11030 centipoise and from 8.67 to 13.42 g/s, respectively), while the specific volume of the cakes increased (from 2.08 to 6.21 cm3/g). Parallel to the increased levels of substitution, the hardness and springiness of cakes decreased, whereas the gumminess and chewiness increased. The crumb structure of OSP-enriched cakes was more porous than that of the control. Color analysis indicated significant differences between the control and treated samples regarding L∗a∗, and b∗ parameters. Cakes had colors that were darker than expected when treated with OSP (p<0.05). According to sensory evaluations, no significant differences were observed between OSP cakes and the control sample in terms of taste, after taste, color, and odor (p>0.05). In conclusion, substituting OSP for flour by 25% can yield acceptable dietary fiber content and antioxidant phenolic compounds while showing no undesirable changes in sensory properties.

Propolis is one of the byproducts of honey bees; it contains many phenolic compounds which are some of the most important natural antioxidants. The present study examined the antioxidant activity of propolis and its role in the stability of sunflower oil as a natural antioxidant in the form of Box–Behnken design. The extraction process was performed using an ultrasonic bath method with two factors in three levels which included 18 assays by the response surface methods. The investigated variables included the concentration of the extract (min: 30 and max: 1000 ppm), the extraction time (min: 10 and max: 30 minutes), and temperature (min: 37.5 and max: 50°C). After analysis of the data in optimal conditions, the concentration of propolis ethanol extract, extraction temperature, and extraction time was determined as 997.5 ppm, 34.6°C, and 30 min, respectively. In this condition, the total phenolic compounds and the free-radical scavenging properties were reported as 253.1mgGAE/100gDW and 85.9%, respectively. The result of the evaluation of the oxidative stability of the optimized sample oil showed reduced peroxide and thiobarbituric acid index compared to the control sample and synthetic antioxidants (BHT); also, the oil stability improved significantly over time.

The objective of this study was to quantify alpha-linolenic acid (LNA, 18:3n-3) of dried wheat leaves, harvested at different development stages (20, 40 and 80 days), to determine the antioxidant potential and the total phenolic compounds of leaves harvested at 80 days, as well as to perform mineral analysis (Na, K, Fe, Ca, Mg, P, Zn, Cu and Mn). It was observed a predominance of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) compared to saturated fatty acids (SFA) in the lipid fraction of leaves. Leaves collected in all periods presented ratios of PUFA/SFA, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids (n-6/n-3) considered suitable for food. The highest content of LNA was found in leaves harvested at 60 days, corresponding to 2.146,72 mg 100 g-1 dried matter. The range time between 60 and 80 days showed a decline of nearly 30% in the concentration of LNA. The acetate fraction was the most effective over DPPH radical assay, showing IC50 value of 154 µg mL-1, and the phenolic compounds content was 615.4 ± 36.4 mg EAG L-1, both analyses carried out in leaves harvested at 80 days. In this development stage, wheat leaves showed significant levels of the minerals P, Zn, Cu and Mn. These results reinforce the potential of using wheat leaves in foods, according to its antioxidant content and significant levels of LNA.

ABSTRACT New cultivars generated each year by international breeding programs enter the Brazilian market. These cultivars need to be tested for their adaptation to the climate in each environment due to the great variety of climates that exist in the country. Strawberry is a highly appreciated fruit due to its biochemical and sensory characteristics and is considered the most important berry. The objective of this study was to determine the physical, biochemical, and sensory properties by performing a sensory evaluation of strawberry fruits, commercially cultivated in the South Minas Gerais region, which is characterized by high-altitude tropical climates. Data were analyzed, and statistical parameters were generated using the principal component analysis (PCA), heat maps, and dendrograms to determine the genetic profile of each cultivar, as well as their relationship. The treatments and analyzed variables were divided into four groups based on the UPGMA method. Considering breeding programs aiming to identify and select strawberries genotypes with better biochemical properties, group III (‘Albion’ and ‘Oso Grande’) was selected due to its high DPPH antioxidant activity, intermediate anthocyanin content, and total phenolic compounds. The Albion cultivar showed excellent biochemical attributes, especially with regard to the levels of glucose, fructose, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity (FRAP and DPPH). Based on the hierarchical grouping and sensorial quality of fruits, the Camarosa cultivar had the lowest scores for most of the sensory attributes evaluated. Minas-C and Oso Grande cultivars presented the highest scores for all the evaluated attributes, including overall acceptance, aroma, color, and purchase intention.

Olive oil is not only known for its pungent, bitter, and fruity taste, but also for its health potential, which is often hypothesized to depend on its phenolic compounds. One hundred extra virgin olive oil samples (monocultivaric as well as blends of varieties) were assessed with regard to their sensory properties and phenolic compound composition. Nineteen phenolic compounds have been determined and correlated with sensory data. In all olive oil samples, oleocanthal and oleacein were the most abundant phenolic compounds, with average amounts of 77.9 mg/kg and 41.8 mg/kg, respectively. The highest correlation coefficient between a sensory descriptor and the phenolic compounds was found for the bitter taste sensation and the total phenolic content with r = 0.72 and in particular, for 3,4-DHPEA-EA, with r = 0.57. Intensity plots were assessed for the three main sensory descriptors fruitiness, bitterness, pungency, and for the quality factor harmony, which is associated with the degree of ripeness aroma of olive oil. Positive correlations for the aroma descriptors freshly cut grass, leaves, and nuts, and the phenolic compounds were especially observed for oleoside 11-methylester and vanillic acid. The present study provides a comprehensive database of phenolic compounds in olive oils from six different varieties and seven countries.

Nowadays, there is growing demand for flour-based products that only contain natural ingredients and are highly nutritional. This tendency promotes further research to find new raw materials for their production. Using by-products of pumpkin processing is a promising way to solve this problem due to their chemical content. In this research, the physicochemical and sensory properties of sponge cake enriched with pumpkin seed powder in two different quantities (5% and 10%) have been studied. Sensory evaluation of sponge cakes with pumpkin seed powder has revealed very high consumer acceptance. It has been established that the semi-finished cake with 5% of pumpkin seed powder added decreased in volume (229.00±5.17cm3), compared with the control (255.00±5.07 cm3). Higher porosity was observed in the control sample (65.62±1.41%) and in the sample with 5% of pumpkin seed powder added (64.20±1.00%). The water-absorbing capacity of the control sample (312.60±3.15%) was the lowest, compared with that of the samples containing 5 and 10% of pumpkin by-products. The lowest values of the crust chroma were in the cake samples containing 10% of pumpkin seed powder. The colour of the crust and crumb in the control was similar to that in the cake with 5% of pumpkin seed powder. An increase in the proportion of pumpkin seed powder from 0 to 10% resulted in an increase in the protein content, fibre, and total carbohydrates. The cake samples with 10% of pumpkin seed powder were the highest in protein (14.77%), fibre (2.76%), and total carbohydrates (75.15%). The results of sensory evaluation have shown that the semi-finished sponge cake enriched with 10% of pumpkin seed powder had better sensory properties, a more acceptable shape, smell, texture of the crumb, colour, and taste, compared with other samples.

Malus Baccata

Crab apple (Malus baccata (L.) Borkh.) was mainly distributed in Europe as an ornamental plant, but the nutritional properties of its edible fruits were not fully revealed. The aim of the current study was to characterize the phytochemical composition of ripen carb apple fruits and to evaluate their nutritional and antioxidant potentials. The fruits were assayed for moisture and ash content, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, titratable acidity (TA), pH, total phenolic compounds and natural pigments. Among the analyzed carbohydrates cellulose was found in the highest content (6% dw), followed by sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose) and 1.8 % dw uronic acids. The total chlorophylls and carotenoids contents in their fruits were 6.51 and 4.80 μg/g fw, respectively. Total monomeric anthocyanins were not detected. The highest content of total phenolic compounds (2.67 mg GAE/g fw) was found in 95 % ethanol extract from fruits, while the total flavonoids were relatively low – 0.1 mg QE/g fw. DPPH assay (17.27 mM TE/g fw) and FRAP assay (14.34 mM TE/g fw) demonstrated in vitro antioxidant activities of crabapple. Malus baccata fruits were evaluated as a rich source of dietary fibers and phenolic compounds with significant antioxidant potential that could be used in human nutrition.

It was designed and built a laboratory experimental installation (LEI) for the microwave pretreatment of vegetable materials. To study the influence of microwave pretreatment on the total phenolic content (TPC), a conventional extraction of polyphenols from treated and untreated fresh sea buckthorn leaves was performed. For short extraction times, the amount of phenolic compounds was higher for the extracts obtained from treated leaves, but a long pretreatment time (28 s) led to a decrease in TPC. The qualitative analysis showed that the chemical composition is not affected by the microwave pretreatment.
